I don’t think Lambert is healthy

There’s a reason he’s in Arizona and not Schaumburg

The bullpen today is Steiver, Crochet, Ruiz, Foster. I'm fine with how we tried to steal outs.

how fucking unlucky is that.

He may have the case pf Jon Lester throwing yips

The ball is going to keep finding Crochet if he can't figure out how to field and throw to first

he wouldn't have gotten him even with a good throw, just horse shit luck to have it hit the plate.

Didn't help he took his Sweet ass time. 

Throw the ball to first hard 

He Gone!

Don't ever let Crochet field a baseball.

I don't blame him there, he sucks fielding but that's just bad luck it would have taken an extraordinary effort to throw him out and even a good one probably is late.

HE GAWN!  Good job Crochet, and good job TLR.

Gerrit "I'm not Mark Buerhle what do you want from me on defense" Crochet.

Exactly.  I would feel better with a few more runs now.

Something seems a little off with Crochet this year. He's not getting the horizontal movement on his slider he usually does. It now looks more like a loopy curveball. I wonder if whatever he's doing is affecting his velo and control a bit as well. 

Go to the video room and see if there's something up.

Some of the Sox fans responses to that Mahomes tweet are beyond fucking cringe.

Offense needs to go back to work. They've looked disinterested the past few innings.

Hopefully La Russa will finally realize that Crochet should NOT be his extra innings reliever.  I love the kid’s stuff, but he’s definitely a bit awkward at fielding his position.

Considering everything, Crochet did well.  I essentially earned 4 outs.  They need to stretch him out here to pitch the 7th.

Honestly a pretty nice job minimizing the damage, but he needs to field his position better

Twitter is a toilet

Yerminator's English is pretty solid, didn't know he spoke it that well

Yea, imagine not knowing Pat's dad played in MLB for over a decade and that Pat is a big baseball fan himself.

Velocity was up a little bit today and he’s pitched in three total games.  Did you watch him a lot in Winston Salem?  Supposedly his stuff was pretty damn good in the minors.

Ive seen somewhere his curve rated as the best in the minors for the Sox.  The change I have seen look filthy too.  But the fastball is usually pretty straight and he's struggled to command it.  In the minors he could get outs that way but not in MLB. 

He has a lot of traits you look for and is still a guy I want to keep.  When a guy has potential and option years remaining you don't just dump him at low value.  But it is very clear he needs to get stronger and get a lot more reps in.  The change is new to him and really he was a multi sport athlete from a cold weather state so it might take a little while.  He's one of the Sox guys who was hurt the most missing a MiLB season last year.

Ok offense check back into the game.
