His ERA is great but the WHIP....yikes. If you start him now, you remove it as an option based on his "current status". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Just saw a story on MLB.com about Javier Baez pulling a run out of thin air in today's game, that's why why they call him "El Mago". I watched the video and a more appropriate summary is "Pirates 1B Will Craig is an idiot." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a better choice. The other thing is that when Crochet has command of his arsenal even MLB hitters struggle to hit him, despite being "only" 96-97 now. It's hard to develop a guy while simultaneously trying to win. I'm a big believer in Crochet's stuff but I'm not sure he can be used in anything but mop-up at the MLB level at the moment. When he locates, he's unhittable but that's like 1/4 of his outings this year. Edited May 27, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you willing give away Crochet as an October option based on how he is pitching on May 27th? That is so incredibly short sighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I hope they play tonight. The taste of bad loss lingers I don't want to have to sit through another night of it. Just play in the rain and give the fans ponchos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, continuing to pitch him out of the bullpen and the fact his clock has been started is what's short sighted. The Sox spent the 11th pick on him and they should give him the opportunity to start. Special arm. Edited May 27, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
