Location is good, change up with definitely play.  Slider doesn’t seem to fool anyone.

He needs some sort of out pitch. The fastball and changeup are good, but I think he could work on something more. He reminds me of Buehrle with how he pitches.

Thorpe gonna probably need pulled after 5, I wouldn't let them face him 3x

The change is a big time out pitch.

Was that list pitch to garner a strike? 

Hows the concessions at Mariners Stadium?

He led all the minors in k's last year. He missed a lot of bats.

You know it's an incredible changeup when he gets a strikeout looking. 

Has maldonado ever put 2 balls in play in 1 game before? Jeez, I can't believe I asked that question.

If this is really who KLee is, he is a plus starting catcher in MLB.  If Quero makes it, great but Korey as he has been the first 2 months of the year is a good starter.

sure no argument there, I'm just saying that Quero is the one most people consider having more upside

Great, then add a circle change. Make adjustments as a soft tosser or get hit hard as batters catch up. He’s doing fine so far.

Good lord the last two Sox innnigs have been over in a minute and a half.  How about putting together a couple competitive AB's guys.

Once Thorpe can locate his FB consistently, he's going to freeze a ton of hitters with it. You'll see a lot backwards k's with it.

You want a kid with a 70 grade change up to change it? 

Decent chance this is his last inning.

yeah you cant let him face Jrod again, he's missing bad now

edit: lol nobody in the pen warming up, lets go!

Why?  He led MiLB in Ks last year.

Nevermind.

No whiffs on the fastball so far. But a 41% whiff rate on the change up. Cutter and slider sit in the 20s.

He's gotten spotty with his control at times.  A fair amount haven't been competitive.  I bet he gets sharper with more experience. 

lol Sosa WTF

Sosa doesn’t have a mlb arm at 3rd.

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo

Another E behind the kid edges the chances of him going past 5 to near zero.

2 errors basically cost Thorpe an inning's worth of pitches. 

goes without saying but this is the worst baseball team i've ever seen in my whole life, they should all have to eat a plate of s%*# after every loss, f*** this team
