Tiger337 Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) So, Baddoo and Malloy are the new Meadows and Torkelson and Keith is back to being April Keith. Edited June 4, 2024 by Tiger337 Quote
1984Echoes Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 I don't think Baddoo can qualify as the new anything. More like Resurfaced Baddoo... Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Jake! Missed this game because for the last 8 Mondays I’ve gone to the local Regal Theater and seen in succession all of the Spider-Man movies: the 3 Toby Maguire’s and the 2 Andrew Garfield‘s and ending tonight with Spider-Man: No Way Home that unites all 3 Spider-Man’s. What a treat to go “oh yeah“ and open my phone and see this win. And in my humble opinion Toby Maguire is still the king. GO TIGERS! 2 Quote

chasfh Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 I'll be seeing Tork in Toledo a week from Friday and will file a full-ish report. Quote

Expand In a Free Press article this morning, it said Tork refused to modify his swing. He thinks the same swing that worked at college would work at the MLB level. I guess he may change his mind? "But Torkelson has been reluctant to change his swing since the Tigers drafted him No. 1 overall in 2020. The mechanics of his swing don't look any different than when he arrived for his MLB debut more than two years ago. Torkelson has never admitted he needs to change his swing. Many times, even in the darkest days of his rookie season, Torkelson has talked about how much he believes in his swing. It's the swing that got him here." Quote

Or to at least know where we stand so we can pursue a 1st baseman. Quote

Expand I would love him if he did the pizza pizza thing as a way to tweak the tail of the boss. If he did it earnestly I have to wonder if he'd test well enough to join the USMC. * *that's a low bar. 1 Quote
