June 20, 20232 yr I really liked him coming out and was excited when they drafted him. It didn't work but it's a gamble you take where they were in that draft. In a normal year Crochet wouldn't even have been available at 11.
June 20, 20232 yr He's not dead yet. Coming off TJ, this was always going to be a caution year. Get him healthy with some innings under his belt for next year Edited June 20, 20232 yr by 2Deep
June 20, 20232 yr I think the trip to the DL was a foregone conclusion after his last appearance. Hope with rest he will be back strong

In a normal year Crochet wouldn't even have been available at 11. I don't know whether or not you are right about that, except to say that if he's drafted as a reliever, he in no way is worth pick #11. Rushing him up to the pen in the year he was drafted is ridiculous, regardless.
June 20, 20232 yr I’m shocked they rushed him and Hendriks back, and it didn’t go well. Just fire anyone who’s allowed to make decisions.

June 20, 20232 yr He should have been IL'd immediately after the Dodgers appearance letting Crochet continue to pitch with his velo down ~3+ MPH was incredibly dangerous and shortsighted
June 20, 20232 yr Just another endless example of this highly dysfunctional organization that has no clue. They continue to embarrass themselves in every single aspect of what it takes to be a successful winning baseball club. They rushed Crochet back this year and there was no reason to do so coming off TJS, especially since the team wasn't going anywhere. It also makes you question if the Sox medical and training staff even did the proper rehab and strength training necessary to have Crochet recover properly from TJS. How many blunders does Hahn get before Jerry finally needs to wake up and fire Hahn. I guess some cats actually have 9 lives!
June 20, 20232 yr 51 minutes ago, fathom said: Or he could have plummeted because he never proved he could actually be relied on to start In a normal year he would have had his innings at least built up a bit. It is possible that he got injured again and became reliever only. Based on the info they had at the time I think it was a worthwhile gamble. They lost on him, it's ok. He was throwing 100 mph from the left side, those guys don't grow on trees. Edited June 20, 20232 yr by baseballgalaly

Seven man bullpen after heavy usage. Bringing up your Monday starter and burning him in the bullpen in Seattle. Tim Anderson remains out for a third straight game. Any update on Yoan yesterday?

Ugh man, forgot about that rumor. Was it Madrigal and Crochet and then they wanted Vaughn and that killed the deal, or am I misremembering?
