I think the TV was having trouble picking up his change up at times, because they also kept talking about a sinker that had a lot of the same movement and same speeds. I think he did throw something with a little more side spin to the edges of the plate that might have been a cutter, but I am not positive not having seen him before.

With his stuff and control he shouldn't mess with the middle of the plate at all. He doesn't have blow you away stuff like that. But if he spends his career on the out edges and up/down, he will be just fine.

Pedro probably has very little to do with the starting pitching. That is guys like Bannister and Katz.

He had some mid 90s back in the day, but he also got like 8 inches off of each corner too. That stuff doesn't exist today.

Aww, I was hoping Pedro tried to fight you.

He started the season slow, and has started out this level slow. Once he got comfortable, he normalized.

That's an interesting name to come up because I remember reading years ago that one of the things that took Mark from a decent pitcher to a great pitcher was his ability to field his position better than anyone else in baseball at the time. He saved himself a ton of runs by being a groundball pitcher who served as an extra infielder. Thorpe looked like that on a couple of plays last night. He didn't mess around covering first, and he also made every play he need, plus the one spectacular play. If that is who he is, he can save himself a lot of runs.

I feel like he was pretty amped up as he was overthrowing a decent amount of the game and was losing some movement, but man when he was right on the change up, it had almost a knuckleball drop off as it got to the plate, and no one recognized it when right. I do like he doesn't throw it super often, which keeps you honest.

The last 11 games the White Sox have led in they have a 2-9 record.

Thorpe was getting a few inches off the plate early.

Just don't drive.

Hell just having a mental approach and some emotional stability on the mound for a start.

Enjoy AA!

I'd feel worse for him if he was carrying his weight.

Just go back to striking out Moldy.

Kopech could learn a lot from Thorpe.

Oof

He could out his Moldy too, I am sure.

Thorpe could play 3rd until Yoan comes back.
