Crochet with 7 strikeouts and 1 baserunner allowed thru 4 innings lol. He sure seems to be fading as he approaches 100 innings on the season as everyone on soxtalk predicted…

He and Sosa have both been better this time around, which means they will be getting dumped momentarily. 

I'm sorry, we need to see DeLoach's amazing defensive prowess some more.

I wouldn't even mind him playing.   Just get these kids some ABs.

Omg Benintendi 

Total ass effort there. 

Benintendi just misplayed a pretty easy jump catch into a home run for the mariners. 

Imitated Fletcher

9 strikeouts thru 5 and the crazy thing is crochet hasn’t thrown a single slider tonight. He’s only throwing four seam fastballs and cutters. Just absurd.

I saw a couple sliders. Unhittable.

Wait, is Pedro challenging even though Lee didn't even try to mime like he was hit?

They were classified as cutters on mlb gameday I believe.

Whoops

He had a reputation to uphold of not knowing what the hell to do with challenges to save his life

I never saw a replay of the Beni assisted home run.

ERA of Sox relievers in this series is over 12 per the Seattle crew.

Zone jumping around on Crochet these last 2 hitters.

Blew that check swing call 

cmon ump

That'll do.

Time for the pen to blow it.

Another dominant outing for Crochet. Given his age, 2.5 years of super cheap control, and unlimited ceiling, dare I say his trade value is now comparable to where Cease was at 6 months ago?

If this were hockey, Beni would get an assist.

Crochet throws 30 pitches that last inning and he’s back out there? That’s fireable, this is a lost season, play it safe not stupid 

Crochet is unreal. 13 strikeouts. Good lord

I'd imagine that they're pushing him because teams want to see if he can throw 100 pitches consistently.
