That’s a good point. The most Garrett ever threw in a college season was 65 innings. But this is also the first time he’s ever been a starting pitcher only. Every other season he was either a reliever or a mix of starting and relieving. I wonder if the consistency of a starter’s schedule is easier on his body?
The 143 ( actually about 147) was 103 in college and another 44 in the minors in 2010. In 2011 it was 71 innings all in relief . Then it was 192 in his 1st year as a SP with the Sox .

I don't think they will shut him down nor pitch him in relief but there has to be at least 1 or 2, maybe 3 phantom 15-Day IL stints coming, right?
I wouldn't even venture a guess. Phantom DL stints don't exactly send a positive message out to other teams about his health.
Who knows maybe if he's healthy he'll agree to being a 1-3 inning opener in the minors so the Sox can recover some of his time in exchange for a mutually beneficial extension . But that seems rather remote.

The Sox are playing this by ear.There has been no defined plan. Crochet and the Sox are willing to see how it goes. Crochet has stated on a few occasions that he is fine pushing the envelop.
He's grown up since he was drafted. He looks bigger and stronger. He's really taken to the starters role and pitching every 5th day. I don't think there's a chance in hell Crochet will want to pitch in relief for the rest of the season. He likes the schedule he's on now.
Maybe we can all agree that it's very encouraging and ,quite frankly, somewhat amazing he has done so well and remainly healthy .
I think Crochet has been treated a lot better than Rodon was in 2021 .
The 1st half of 2021 when Rodon was dominant was the height of the rebuild.
The 2nd half of 2021 when Rodon was wearing down and the Sox played .500 the rest of the way was the beginning of the end of the rebuild.
I'd say the odds on Crochet getting traded are about 4:1. It's not very likely.
However ,if he does get traded it'll be a good offer that Getz found too good to pass up.
Crochet might've got hurt no matter what role he pitched while he was still growing into his body. This might be the new direction/ experiment on how to maintain arm health. I think we're seeing it now with Noah Schultz.Build the arm slowly ,monitor constantly.
Baby them through physical maturity and see if they can avoid TJ surgery in their early 20s while building arm strength as they grow into their more adult mature body.

I assumed he was boycotting until Reinsdorf is gone.
Think it was the re signing of Clevinger.

My preference is they lose every game. Even if there’s only a small chance total embarrassment forces changes, I’ll take it.
There’s way too many lousy and unlikeable players on this team, maybe things will change at the end of July.
Does being lousy make them unlikable ? I think in many fans eyes the answer is yes.
What did Leo Duricher used to say ? Nice guys finish last.
In a way that's correct.You need an edge,a fierceness, a fire that burns within you because you want to win so badly. You want to overpower your opponent, break their will. You sort of have to be ,well , a jerk, at least during the game. But it's probably easier if you're always a jerk.
Not sure changing the culture to a bunch of less talented choir boys is the answer.
You need a ton of talent in every part of the organization and it ain't cheap and they are usually ruthless.

Reinsdorf is paying a heavy price for letting Hahn completely destroy his organization as well he should.
Reisdorf completely destroyed his organization. His fingerprints are all over everything the Sox spend on hiring the most inexpensive and inexperienced personnel and cutting corners everywhere. He's reaped what he has sown.
JR isn't suffering. He's a businessman running his business the way he wants it run. He strives on this.

Somehow this got through security last night and was shown. Although after about :30 seconds it was confiscated:

Hill K'd Henderson twice on pitches called balls that were in the zone one low away ( the whole ball easily in the zone) then up and away perfect pitch right on the corner and that was also called a ball.
Then another great pitch Henderson looked at just off the plate low and away called a ball. Any or all of those pitches are called strike by another ump .

At least Fedde might be in play for a trade to the O's.

Cowser robs Pham of a HR in CF to end it.

Beni steals 2nd gets to 3rd on throwing error by McCann who's had a rough couple of innings.

He should have filed an appeal or protest soon as he got into the clubhouse. Not sure exactly how that works but at least get it in paper that the umps fucked up, that's the least amount of accountability we can expect.
The fact that he didn't file an appeal is probably the reason why MlB did what it did. You file an appeal the only thing you hear is crickets until they deny your appeal.

Seriously does Brooks Baldwin have a chance to be a major league contributor?
Sure seems like he does. Smallish sample size I know but it's not easy to be hitting the way he is for 150 ABs or whatever he has now.

Also, I didn’t realize the batter and the runner are called out during an interference call on an infield fly. I just had to look it up to confirm. Isn’t only one guy ruled out during a regular interference call?
The batter was out automatically on the infield fly rule.Vaughn was called out for interference .

The Fletcher trade was just as terrible as the Bummer trade
Not exactly Ernie Broglio for Lou Brock.
Both trades not even likely to register as a blip in any kind of worst baseball trades ever. Maybe not even among the worst trades of the year when all is said and done.

Kick us while we're down. f*** that call.
Sox had already scored 4 that inning which is more than they usually score in a game With men on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Auto out on the pop out and stole our last AB with a chance to tie or win the game.

That was an awful call. It’s infield fly anyway. There is no reason to screen. One of worse ways I have ever seen a game end.
Yep technically that ball could hit the ground and the batter is still out and Vaughn wasn't going anywhere if it did.

Just now, caulfield12 said:
Oh, it was runner's interference/screening?
It was an idiotic call. Pop up was a mile high. Henderson couldve taken any route to the ball. Vaughn was maybe 5 or 6 feet off 2nd and started walking slowly back to 2nd. Henderson side stepped him and made the catch of the popup that was 2 the left of the mound easily. He camped under it.

Will be lucky not to give up 4 runs this inning.
June 2nd Chicago White Sox @ Milwaukee Brewers GDT

Isn't this what everyone wanted? Play the kids and give them extended time. Can't or I should say shouldn't whine after every AB.
Give them a chance. Peralta makes a lot of hitters look bad.
