Torkelson is only going to be 24 years old this August. He could pass for 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Bringing Short into the game is a the perfect opportunity to upgrade the D in the late innings, but Maton still at 3rd trying to lose the game.

chasfh Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Nick Maton is a versatile player. He can lose games for you on both sides of the ball. 😏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveMaroth Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Ugh Maton. I feel for the kid but I feel like he needs a hard reset down in Toledo. Another game in which he has an error at a pivotal moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might at well be playing Torkelson there as Maton. What is the point of beating the dead horse? Even if he starts to hit you don't want him at 3B.

Another game in which he has an error at a pivotal moment. I'm 100% convinced they'll never send him down this season, regardless of what level of ass-unmitigation he attains. It's like he's Harris's little "smarest guy in the room project", for Harris to send him would be an admittance of failure...hard ego check for our new GM here. Hell, a good GM wouldnt even have Maton on the plane to Texas today after this, he'd be on the bus to Toledo with a GM worth his salt.

Dtrain72 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Honestly, with 3 K's and no RBI's for Harvy today, it's pretty much a guaranteed loss. His offensive game stats are literally the barometer for if this team wins or loses: Javy = Win Harvy (today) = Loss Edited June 25, 2023 by Dtrain72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
