He's only a draft pick that skipped the minors you looking for prime eckersley? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Crochet is lucky he didn't give up 3 runs that inning. Looks like he's got a cut on his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hate this decision by the Sox. If he's an effective reliever, will they really send him down to the minors to hone his secondary pitches and stretch out his arm?

When will he be able to work on a 3rd pitch? I’m not optimistic it happens with his general lack of experience and the way they are using him.

Unfortunately, Sale had 2 really good pitches besides his fastball. Crochet is only dominant if he throws 100+. His off-speed stuff isn't good enough if he only throws 96-97.

He's been awesome overall and form comes and goes with young pitchers. I'm thrilled the Sox appear to have nailed yet another draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this pace of 9 innings pitched over 21 games that is about 69.1 IP for the year. At that rate I am not sure you can ever start him. Maybe next year. Maybe the plan is like 60-70 IP regular season and up to 10 IP playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
