May 13, 2025May 13 Interesting some of these older players are trying to work their way back. I think Grandal is in AA Then there's the cheap ass team who try to flip them for some more minor league fodder hoping the one in a zillion chance they get something so they can rinse and repeat the process.

May 17, 2025May 17 Crochet has a 2.02 ERA right now... What? Crochet was also at 96-97 mph in his last inning. Edited May 17, 2025May 17 by caulfield12

May 22, 2025May 22 7. Garrett Crochet, Red Sox (7) Boston's blockbuster trade for Crochet continues to pay off as he looks overpowering for the Sox. Following his start Wednesday night, Crochet's ERA is 1.98 through 11 starts, and he's racked up 78 K's in an MLB-high 68 1/3 innings pitched. He's gone at least seven innings in five starts already, tied with Logan Webb and Framber Valdez for the most of any pitcher. mlb.com

May 23, 2025May 23 https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/were-waiting-for-juan-soto-to-be-juan-soto-again-185603521.html Highlights the match-ups with Soto and Crochet and then a write-up A year ago, we were still in the early stages of collectively comprehending the kind of pitcher Crochet appeared to be evolving into with the lowly Chicago White Sox. For as good as his numbers were, it was hard to know how much to buy into his ability to sustain considering how sparse his track record was as a starter. As a member of the losingest team in baseball history, Crochet’s starts rarely attracted much attention, a stark contrast to the role he plays now as the ace for one of the sport’s highest-profile teams. Now, there is no doubt: Crochet is one of the best pitchers on the planet, and firmly in the inner circle of the AL Cy Young conversation. His 1.98 ERA ranks fifth among qualified AL starting pitchers, and his 2.0 fWAR is tied with Hunter Brown for fourth. Only Tarik Skubal has struck out more batters than Crochet among all MLB arms. As he did with Chicago, Crochet still relies primarily on a high-90s four-seamer and low-90s cutter as his go-to weapons, but he has also incorporated a mid-90s sinker that gives him an additional avenue to leverage his elite velocity at the expense of opponents. Interestingly, Crochet’s placement near the top of the strikeout leaderboard is mostly a product of his gaudy innings total. His 28.7% strikeout rate is comfortably above league average, but it’s also notably down from the 35.1% mark Crochet registered in 2024. While Crochet may not be racking up the whiffs as frequently as he did a year ago, pitching more to contact with purpose can enable him to go deeper into starts with more efficient pitch counts. Wednesday’s 5 1/3-inning, 85-pitch outing was an abbreviated one for Crochet based on a predetermined plan by Boston to be mindful of his workload. That workload is the ultimate wild card for the large left-hander, just as it was last season under vastly different circumstances. Currently MLB’s innings leader at 68 1/3, Crochet is on pace to set a career-high in frames completed for the second straight year after throwing 146 innings in 2024. How high the Red Sox will allow that number to climb this year — while also weighing potential starts in October — will be crucial to monitor as the season progresses.
