MONDAY MINORS THREAD 6/5 ... First-half stretch runs

[jimsnores]

Good start for Touki tonight, except that he walked too many, again. Still, I would call it a promising start.

 

[Garmel]

Soroka with another good start. 5 innings with 6 ks and no walks so far.

 

[jpack1]

Soroka has righted the ship after a few so so games. Getting the Ks as well.

 

[atl717]

Sims has pretty much erased his good start.

He was rolling along and then, boom... he turned into colon

 

[Garmel]

Sims has pretty much erased his good start.

Yep. However, he is still better than he was last year. Probably needs another year in AAA.

 

[Horsehide Harry]

Left foot contusion.

Left foot confusion?

"Maybe I don't want to wear a left shoe. Maybe I identify with right shoes. And don't get me started on socks. I'm partial to birkenstocks and sandals."

 

[jpack1]

Hell of a pitchers duel in Mississippi tonight. Good guys push across the first run of the night. Soroka lights out tonight

 

[mqt]

Soroka with 7.0 IP, 3 H, 9K on 79 pitches.

 

[CJ9]

To go with his 9 Ks through 8 innings, Soroka has 13 ground outs. Only outs to the outfield are two line outs to center.

 

[jpack1]

Soroka through 8 on 85 pitches.

Groundballs sound good for suntrust

 

[Jay212033]

I severely dislike the Braves way of handling their young pitchers! Soroka was was cruising at 85 pitches and they took him out smh!

 

[Enscheff]

True, top shelf prospects should be pushing for complete games at the age of 19.

 

[Jay212033]

It doesn't matter bout the complete game, he was crusing and didn't have any stressful innings. Let him go back out.

 

[jpack1]

Great to see the success of Soroka and Allard do far in AA. This rebuild of the rotation really needs those 2 and Newk to be at least MOR starters.

 

[nsacpi]

Soroka with 7.0 IP, 3 H, 9K on 79 pitches.

must have been working on something

 

[Enscheff]

He got 9 outs via K, which took at least 27 pitches. That means his other 12 outs averaged just over 4 pitches per out, and actually less depending on how many pitches the hits took.

 

[jpack1]

Incredibly efficient.
