Look at Ray Ray Run

Agreed, but I'm sure he'd be interested given his injury history too. I'd rather visit an extension at the all star break than a trade.

Crochet is 24 years old. They could... you know, sign him? Sox don't plan on being good in the next 6 years. You watching what this guy is doing in his second big league start vs avcuna and an elite offense? The injury risk is large which is the big concern but if he shows me durability and sustained success this year I'm not moving.

I love love love how much he comes inside to power hitting righties. Sale esque

I loved them giving crochets credit to the guys who's beer belly has Lance Lynn gawking.

Jake burger rakes. Only reason it makes sense in a vacuum is because jake can't mash baseballs from inside one.

World series here we come!

This would be a fun promo. White sox replace a player tuesdays. First 27 fans get to bat for a big leaguer.

I've been wrong on plenty of players in my life but never been more wrong than I was on Vaughn. What a chode.

Amazing how bad fletcher has looked. It's like bad Eaton and madrigal had a baby.

Yeah, this guy blows. That said, he's mixing up his slider based on count. Great feel for that pitch.

If the baseball gods give me one thing this year, let it be crochet staying healthy all year. This guy is a machine.

Above average is carrying a lot of weight in this post.

Yeah, who is anyone here to doubt the judgements of Chris Getz and the Chicago White Sox when it comes to high character clubhouses and leadership! Clevinger proved last year that he's not netting anything - I know the circumstances aren't 100% the same, but the reality is he's an asshat and he stinks. Even if we say that the accusation isn't 100% true, what is true is he broke Covid protocol when his highly respected and well liked manager had a compromised immune system. I can't imagine he's a good influence on a single young baseball player; maybe you want to argue he's not as bad as it seems, but there's no one arguing he's a positive influence.

This is one of the funniest Harold Getz apologists posts ever.... This "low ball" offer was the best offer clevinger got so how is it a lowball

The Sox are trying to win?

Bauer and Urias come with an initial circus teams don't want to manage. Sox manage it and then move to a contender. I could see it being much more likely than trying clevinger after last year.

Agree with those that say if you're gonna do this go sign a Urias or a Bauer, be the team that takes the PR hit, and try and get something for them

The difference between 65 and 62 wins doesn't seem worth it.

I don't think I'd turned a car radio on in ages, but the stars aligned today! I agree this rotation blows but crochet does not blow.

Heard the radio for 5 minutes this morning in the car and sox machine josh and crew were calling crochet an opener and an embarrassment. I love watching Crochet shove on the clowns. Even though we left him in a little long.

Is there a streaming service that offers MLB Network AND White Sox baseball? MLB really are a bunch of idiots.

Why do they need 180 innings from him? The point is to build him to that. They've got a free year to give it a go. They need to get him within about 60 innings of next years target.

I don't really buy this. He's not giving less effort in the minors and the sox certainly aren't going to have any high stress games this year lol. I don't hate the idea of maybe moving him to longer relief after the break sometime to keep him in routine but limit the work load.

Truth is injuries themselves are not predictive as much as anyone wants to say otherwise. Could he be more likely based on his past? Sure. Not doing what best maximizes the players abilities and values due to some non-predictive fear is pointless imo.

80 way too little. Conservative would be about 100-120 for me. If they want to make him a starter these are the things you have to do.
