The guy from Locked on Braves tweeted this:

quote:

Michael Soroka's spray chart from Arizona to Oakland. You can see the lack of command of the slider and change-up against Arizona. And a lot more 4-seamers and sinkers over the middle of the plate. Umpire view. Red = 4-seam. Orange = sinker. Green = change-up. Yellow = slider




He also followed it up by saying he disagrees with sending him back down, but I can understand the team wanting to send him back down to hone in his command. Keep in mind that he completely rebuilt his mechanics after the second surgery and is still probably getting comfortable with it.

Command definitely an issue on those homeruns yesterday but damn. Feel like AA is like the dude in that meme that is walking with Soroka and is looking back at AJSS.

Also, I know in AAA you can still get good work in, but the eyes of MLB players and immediate negative reinforcement of bad command of MLB pitching would be more valuable to me if I was Soroka.

We don't play a team over .500 again until 6/26. We need fresh arms in the bullpen. Why not let Mike figure it out and let AJSS help the pen?
