I'd rather him walk in the tying run than leaving a meatball over the plate. We are relying on way too many rookies this year, you're seeing the pressure is too much. Ironically Crochet looked like a beast but we lost him.
I think this is what happened
Sox saw velo down, come out to ask him if he felt anything and he probably said I'm fine just felt a little tightness, and they yanked him
it could be entirely possible that it was precautionary
when the starter gets lit the fuck up like a Christmas tree, it certainly has an effect on the offense. that game vs the cubs is the exception not the rule.
