Great time for Crochet to find his control. 

lol yaz takes it off the mask, doesn't even flinch. yaz has got his swag on.

why is crochet in?

Because he's struggled with his control lately and this is a no pressure situation 

.250 .402 .529  6 hr 13 rbis in 22 games in June for Grandal.  Before today, add 2 hr and 5 rbis

I love the replays where the OF doesn't even move when a ball is launched into the stands.

Cause he hasn't been able to throw strikes his last 2 outings. He's gotta fix whatever is wrong.

fair enough.

that was nasty.

He typically has scheduled / set days. Plus, he hasn't been pitching well of late, so it's a good time to let him work things out without pressure.

Left handed bat drops are so smooth

Yeah. Donaldson tried a right handed bat drop imitating Grandal earlier, and it did not look good.

we don't need a net 250 feet from home plate, just my opinion.

98 on the black, bruh.

I think he can be effective at 97-99

I've only seen 99 a couple times this year though.

Our win probability is actually 100%. Which I think means no team has ever come back down 11 runs with 9 outs left. 

And a 16 seed never won until it did but yeah this is over....and I'm gonna enjoy every last minute of it.

TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTYS OVER.

Best part of the night maybe the encouraging outing from Crochet

It not even noticeable at the game, it's fine

Grandal is pretty clearly the best player on this team right now. 

i wanna see him hit triple digits again

Hoping to see Kopech get the 8th or 9th. Let him get that low-leverage shake-off out of his system.

Nice inning Crochet

it ruins the aesthetic imo.

 

Too good, not to share...

I don't think it's happening. Was a 1 time thing from a fresh arm. He barely pitched in 2020.

i want to see him pitch 120 innings next year with his elbow intact.

Assuming he comes back fine, having him miss time so as to not bump against an innings limit later isn’t so bad
