And this has been Overreaction Theater.
The first bolded part is all you need to know. Crochet was hurting and didn't tell anyone. That is the entire problem here. Sox management felt this kid was their best chance to win. They didn't have the information that he was hurting, otherwise they wouldn't have planned on him going 2-3 innings in the game. The kid has to learn to speak up not only for his own good, but for the good of the team and franchise. It's called being a good teammate.
If he blows out his arm because he can't speak up, the entire franchise is worse off for it than if they just lose the one game.
