Good job Crochet

I think people forget he has only throw 9 innings since 2019 before this year, he was in college last year. Most guys would still be in the minors fine tuning their control and pitches and he is in a big league bullpen. Give the kid some slack

Give him the 7th.  Would like to see him throw more multiple innings.

I agree with this 100%. I'm still very high on him.

Wish we had Kimbrel available tonight to go Kopech or Bummer, Kimbrel, and Hendriks to close this out

Cleveland always seems to find good relievers out of nowhere. Parker was basically a journeyman before this year. 

Does Tepera get the 7th Kimbrel get the 8th and Hendricks the 9th?

They've challenged him more than any young pitcher has ever been challenged and he's answered the call every time.  

This ump is so bad. 

Uh....really ump?

The zone tonight has been brutal. No consistency at all.

it was a good at bat... until he swung at ball 4 and couldnt make contact on a 90mph fast ball.

then it wasnt good anymore.

I mean yes the end result wasn't good.  The approach was better than what we have been seeing lately. 

LOL what was that bullshit call?

Jesus christ that's such a late call, you can't do that. 

Thats ball 4 Blue

What the fuck is this amateur hour? 

Such bs!!

White Sox hitters (far too often) seem unwilling to make the necessary adjustments, needed to succeed at the plate, of late. Good hitting teams routinely seek to take the ball up the middle and opposite field, thus taking whatever the opposing pitcher is willing to give them. Their unwillingness to make adjustments makes too many WS hitters incredibly susceptible to outside breaking/off-speed pitches… not to mention, high fast balls.

It's like he remembered he missed one earlier and decided to give a make up call 2 seconds after the pitch hit the glove.

Seby should try batting lefty 

So many things need to go his way just for Seby not to completely embarrass himself at the plate

Lynn/Crochet probably would have been better options to hit for themselves, and forfeit the catcher hitting.

That slider has so much break holy shit

I was wondering the same thing!  And if so...what kind of signals was Crochet using?  

I echo this. My son was asking me why is the catcher saying no. I had never seen anything like that.  Crochet needs to be in the minors getting ready for September run.  Give him more work or start using him on big league club more (even if he struggles - got to develop that arm).
