Lost in the frustration of last night, Torkelson hit his 30th HR of the season and has an exact .800 OPS on the season

1. If he would’ve hit 10 more of those this game they could’ve won!

2. Would be cool if we had somebody, anybody on base.

3. How many of those Homer’s are solo shots though

4. He has, very slowly, steadily improved over the last three years, I’ll give him that. Still not up to what the expectations were when drafted however.

5. He’s been having a low-key really solid season.

6. A nice bounce back year for him. He’s been real solid all year.

7. At this point, I’m just living for Tork Bombs seems like Tork has been the only guy contributing offensively during this stretch. His consistency on the year is to be commended.

8. I was just thinking this morning, sometimes we go way too long without simple base hits. It’s like everyone is trying to do too much. Tork has turned that mentality down this season so he’s having a good year. 24 solo HRs is insane.

9. What does that get you in a historic swoon?! Zilch! That’s what.

10. I really wish AJ would move Tork. He still has Greene batting 4th which makes no sense. It’s like he looks at the OBA of every batter except Tork. Only guy getting on base should be batting third.

11. Bronhas been the only offensive threat for the month

12. İs that the 30th solo Tork Bomb?

13. Has good extra base power which is desperately needed on this team as Tork is the only right-handed hitter on the team that has consistent power.
