SoCalTiger Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Holding my breath and rooting hard on Tork that it becomes reality. He, Greene and Skuball are still the main drivers of our future success since their ceilings could be quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoop is the cautionary tale there - when he's on he looks like he's in complete control at the plate, the rest of the time it seems that other guy must be a doppleganger from another planet because he looks like he has no chance of figuring it out. Right now Tork looks comfortably in command of his swing, his timing and the K zone. You have to remind yourself it really is the same guy who was tentative and with no rhythm at all less than a year ago. If this is really the hitter he stays, we are going to be very happy - but who knows if it is? Edited May 23, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discussed it yesterday, but honestly the fact that teams have been pitching Tork relatively cautiously the past couple of weeks is about as good a sign as any.

What if he's a streaky hitter and this is his hot days? I could be OK with that as long as his cold days are pretty short. We....just don't know yet.

Most power hitters (we hope he's that) are streak hitters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Everybody goes 0 for 12 every now and then. He looks like he wouldn't ever do much worse than that because he is judging the strike zone so well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even when his balls in play weren't dropping, he was crushing the ball. Maybe a doubles hitter with HR power? Either way, he was having some pretty bad babip luck.

You can't direct the ball into the gaps, you can only hit it hard, the rest is up to randomness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Of course Jake Rogers' Dad's name is "Dusty", I wouldn't have expected anything less, he totally looks exactly like how I would've expected his Dad to look like. His Dad just looks like the stereotypical "Country Boy" or should I say Country Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 They are carrying multiple boat anchor hitters on the roster...either because they want to or because they don't have better options. I guess that's part of the rebuild process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
