and here's Tork 

That might have been the best FB right there

Torkelson looks 36 years old.

I’m back, blacked out after seeing all those runs scoring without a home run. ❤️

Gio got everything going in those last few at bats. 

How many pitches do we think Lucas throws today? 85?

Kinda funny both top 1B in the country in their respected draft years are both batting 8th (Vaughn, Torkelson). 

 

There was the simpler hand check by umps instead of the full body pat down.

Bad face, indicitive of a career journeyman

I want to say he was close to 90 in his last spring start, so 85-88ish seems fair.

Tork seems to think this is going to be easy.  He wasn't cheated on that swing and miss.  Got upset at himself for popping up.  I hope the Sox remind him this weekend that it's not easy.

Gonna take quite a shot to get it out of Comerica when it's 45 degrees.

Also not huge on that name tbh. That’s two bad intangibles already.

no no no. They need to trick him into thinking that it is still easy while still having him fail.

Tell Witt and Julio Rodriguez.

If he's < 80 after 5, he goes back out for the 6th.

I knew the sox rebuild was going to work when I saw they were amassing hot guys with good names.

The offensive approach is refreshing. They know it's cold and outfield is huge. Save the bombs for Chicago.

Rodriguez is throwing fastballs right down the pipe right now. Jose and Grandal have done nothing with it.

Totally. 2017-2019 my instagram was basically just shirtless pics of robert and moncada

Feels ridiculous to say when the Sox already have 3 runs, but Rodriguez has gotten away with so many middle-middle pitches
