let's fucking go

[Soxfest]

Thorpe looks like he belongs, nice first inning. 

[Snopek]

That was beautiful 

[Harold's Leg Lift]

His arm speed on that changeup is absolutely incredible.  It looks exactly like his fastball. He might have the best changeup I've ever seen.

It's his approach. He just doesn't have a plan at the plate. How are you late on a 74 mph slider on an 0-1 count?

It’s also his swing. There is a loop in his hands you can’t see from the CF cam.

[Chicago White Sox]

That was an incredibly impressive first inning.

Don’t need to throw 98 if you can hit spots like that, good lord

based on the first two batters we got a cy young winner

Shades of Shane Bieber. 

I have probably been the biggest Thorpe skeptic, but if he's really sitting 92-93 this will work. I was concerned if he was 88-90. 

[2Deep]

I've seen enough. DT is going to be really good. He's a pitcher and not a thrower.....with a Plus pitch that isn't a fastball

Thorpe has to be nervous as hell.  Let's not judge him by his first game here. Good luck young man.

88-90 as a RHP is different than sitting 92-93. 

This will work, but if his fastball backs up it becomes trouble.

Give me a pitcher like this 10/10 times over a “pitcher” like Kopech. It’s fun to throw 100+ but if you have no idea where it’s going and have no secondary pitches who gives a s%*#.

That last change was it.  He overthrew the 1st 2.  That one almost knuckled.

His "slider" is more like a change too. Same arm slot. Digs into LH's. Looks the exact same as his change on the release.

You know this guy is my dad, I always jump to conclusions lol. 

[TheBooneLoganEra]

I was gonna say let's get him a lead but we all know that doesn't really matter. 

[Heads22]

Thorpe's even making this team look better at the plate. If Maldy gets a hit, you gotta extend Thorpe

[southsider2k5]

That was a great bunt

[Paulie4Pres]

Something you don't hear very often. That's a great bunt.

[DirtySox]

We cookin. Let's get the rook some runs.

[Soxfest]

Great bunt
