Flash Tizzle Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Quick question--did Thorton throw anything besides a fastball this afternoon? In past appearances thus far it's been a consistent diet of fastballs and one outside, weak slider per outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Didn't see the game but I think our bullpen by the end of the year can be filthy. Cotts, McCarthy, Thorton and Jenks have stuff and all fairly young. Am I shining my rose colored glasses and drinking the Kool-Aid. Jenks and Thorton seem to get dinked to death which evens out over time. If i didn't read the reviews on thorton I would think he is the cats pajamas.

The best part might have been how he stayed composed. 3 of the weakest hits of the day loaded the bases, and instead of getting flustered by the bad luck, he threw more strikes and then K'd Granderson on another nasty slider to win it. I was really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely throwing a lot more strikes, so I think it's a small change in mechanics and a big change mentally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
