Crochet vs. Freeland

 

Let's win this one for our Ace. He got screwed last time out. 

Paul DeJong is the Sox’ emergency catcher, Pedro Grifol revealed during today’s pregame media session.

“He knows if something ever gets a little crazy, he’s got to put the gear on.”

Our very own "Rocket. " Maybe not for much longer though.

His name even looks like rocket if rochet was French for Rocket which it isn't.

Sox Notes from SoxMachine:

* Sox not fooled by 3 win streak. Will trade everyone
* Benintendi not as big a joke as you think
* Steven Wilson expects his velo to tick up in 2nd half

Looks like he caught some games at ISU but that was the last time. He'd still probably be an upgrade over Maldonado 

Rockies look lost against his fastball 

99 fb high early.

Blew away Tovar with all heat.

Waited too long to move him. 

Maldonado still sucks.

Weird inning.

2 of the 3 base hits had xBA's of .100 and .160

Bummer-esque.

Crochet is a terrible fielder and at holding runners.Threw that bunt away and then threw the appeal play ball away. Didn't make sure the guy on third wasn't to far off 3rd before that appeal play last time and today he balked a runner home and put the other guy in scoring position and he then scored .

Vaughn starts the comeback with a solo shot.

Vaughn trade value rising...but how far?  Worth it?

"Running into second base" Uhhhh John.... That was not "running"

That was seconds after saying he thought the Sox still had a chance this year.

Some pretty severe batted ball luck for the Rox in this game. Crochet dominant again.

Since May 8th, he's OPSing .820 w/9 HRs.

Big Unit 2.0

Vaughn seeing this guy really well

If Vaughn didn’t have one of the worst starts of all time he’d be having a decent season. 

Rockies playing D……..Sox never do

Crochet already over 100 IP on the season.
