Super Joe should not had sent him with no outs and also risk a collision at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I also wrong to say, "Please no Kopech tonight". ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it’s bad when your own player hits a line drive in the dugout and it happens to hit a teammate. You know I was thinking half jokingly but now maybe a little more seriously, if they maintain their lead the next couple weeks maybe TLR could just pull the team and forfeit the last week and a half. Back in 1981 or so he caught hell for suggesting he would be willing to forfeit a game to get into the playoffs under the quirky split season rules. Ok, there's my entry for most ridiculous post of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Crochet was pitching 100 mph last year. Where did that go? Edited September 8, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 80% of the rotation either hurt or underperforming I was feeling greedy. Sox pen has a lot of innings to cover in the next two weeks.

Because he is basically a 2 pitch pitcher, with a lot less velo than he presented with originally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I've learned to like Leury. I hope he makes the postseason roster. I assume he's earned his MLB pension which is nice. It's not that easy to hit .260 in the big leagues and field OK, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 There are reasons to think Crochet can't be a starting pitcher. Hopefully, those things swing back upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
