Crochet at 96 is nothing special 

Am I reading this right that Crochet gave up 4 hits in 10 pitches?

If he hadn’t we wouldn’t have any runs 

Grandal hit for Collins

This team is about to be in for a long month. I don't see them doing well against Minnesota or Seattle if they keep playing like this They got to comfortable because they were winning the division convincingly and are ignoring the flaws.

Crochet needs to go down for Fry if he's sitting 95

Exactly, not sure what happened to his velocity but he just another average bullpen pitcher at best now.

Didn't get a single guy out. The play by Mendick was bad, but....4 hits, 0 outs from Crochet.

It really sucks what they did to Crochet. It really really fuckin sucks.  

Yep they should have traded him last offseason.  Too bad Detmers didn’t last another pick.

2 hits, a bunt that was really an error, and what would have been a routine grounder to 3rd if the defense wasn't drawn in because of the extra bases due to the error.

Sox need a couple of bullpen arms. That is going to be a tall order for Rick Hahn. Losing leads in late innings is demoralizing.

Crochet might have a low ERA but very hard to trust the guy...

I was thinking he may have allowed the last seven hitters he’s faced  to get on base

 

Does the Frazier homer against us raise his asking price, lol?

We need Reynolds a lot more, but he definitely won’t come cheap the way he’s going now.

 

Also, never have Lucas on your fantasy team. Guaranteed to get the Q treatment in terms of wins and losses.

This bullpen has choked away far too many games this year. Crochet is a shell of his 2020 self

If he's not going to be a lights out reliever, then he should be developing as a starter in the minors.

A starter for someone else

Now we put Bummer in...the guy who’s actually being paid to get through the seventh and eighth.

With Rodon and Lynn likely gone, who is the fifth starter in 2022, let alone 2023?

Ball 4

His arm was really fresh, I think that he's going to settle in the 95-98 range that he's been pitching in this year. 

He's got to adjust his changeup grip to take more off of it.

The real problem is how are they going to get Kopech enough innings this year to be all systems go next year.

Hey, Tony made both correct calls. Collins got Lucas through his start, another good one, and Grandal swung the bat on a pitcher at the end of his start and homered.

I have to do what it takes to keep my high Game Thread Winning Percentage.

So...

Along with some more players. This seventh has been horrible.
