I never thought I'd say it but we really need another Ross Detwiler in this bullpen.

God did they mess up not cashing in on him. There were a lot of red flags with him after last year.

The Sox drafted Crochet much higher than any draft publications had him ranked. I'll take that as a consensus for how MLB teams viewed him. Given Crochet's season ended with an elbow injury, I'm not sure if he would have had like top 50-75 prospect value in trades.

Just coming here to say it’s been another head scratching night of TLR and his own usage.

Is Collins actually the better defensive catcher?

Grandahl is a gold glove winning catcher but he has been less than impressive so far this season

I've been a Crochet fan, but I think it's fairly obvious that he's a reliever and needs to have the 99-102 mph fastball to be effective at the MLB level. 

They should just accept that, let him loose and turn him into Josh Hader. 

If they want him to be a starter, send him down and make him prove it in the minors. Starting his clock is proving to be a huge miscalculation if they truly want Crochet to start.

Almost seems like TLR is trying to get Hendriks a save opportunity.

I don’t know if it’s him or Katz. I’m thinking Duncan made all the bullpen decisions back in the day and this is him on his own now??? Idk

Well he can play 1B

The best bullpen manager in the history of baseball is managing games to get his closer a save instead of actually winning the game.

Goes to show, just because someone came up with equation doesn’t mean it’s valid.

AV!!

This pen was supposed to have like 5 relief aces yet Heuer (Kopech too if you want to count him) is the only guy living up to expectations.

I need to see that replay.

I know you're right elrockin...he's just frustrating as hell sometimes.
