Have you watched him play? I have. Slightly old for the level, but dominate.Tatum gives you a good at bat every time up. That’s why his obp is pushing .500. Why crap on the guy?

I actually think that Crochet has enough pitches -- his change is better than I remembered -- but it's going to be a lot of innings for him to get anything like command back. He should either be back in AAA getting some work, or be put into lower leverage situations for a while. Frankly, if you're looking to win today's game, Banks might be a better choice for lefty reliever than Crochet or Bummer right now.

I don’t think either Crochet or Bummer is counted on in high leverage. With the game on the line and lefties coming up, I have way more faith in Middleton and Kelly than either of those guys.

Bummer is a real downer.

Kath 3-4. Winston Salem has 6 runs on 14 hits. That's a good team.

Volpe, Corbin Carroll, Riley Greene, Josh Jung

Second inning for Crochet.

Simas is done 5IP 2H 1ER.

Faedo should have this start bronzed.

Coming back from TJS, people always struggle with command/control. Sox have rushed him back to the majors. Letting him work out these kinks in multi-inning stints in AAA would have been better.

Threw it right into the bail. Lefty lefty, he has to get better at pitching away.

Crochet is in. I may get my wish.

Sox hitters are Faedo's dream lineup.

Santos is a weapon.

Tatum currently a homer short of the cycle. I live in NYC, I thought about going to that game. Now I wish I had.

Our upper management is dumber than average.

McCullough off to another good start for Kanny. Burke 2-2.

A man can dream.

Game probably over. I would give Crochet at least 2 innings to kick the rust off and fulfill the promise of stretching him out to be a multi-inning guy this year.

They're gonna let this game get completely out of control. Not like the Sox offense is a juggernaut.

First team to 1 wins?

Gio prefers throwing to Seby and, sadly, right now Frazier > Vaughn, but the manager doesn't see it that way.

He certainly looked like he was swinging with his eyes closed yesterday.

After the first 5 guys, you can make arguments for order for about the next 30 guys. Seattle is in a nice position with all of those picks.

Yeah, he's had a few starts. The huge problem with him is the Sox have no depth, so they're pushing him but he lacks control, let alone command. In the Charlotte pitching environment that sets him up for a lot of failure. I'd say he'd be better off in AA, but that weird pre-tacky ball their using is exacerbating every pitcher's control issues in the league, so I think it's a steep learning curve for him.
