Garrett Crochet named Opening Day starter


Recommended Posts

The good news is that no one is ever amped up on opening day, so we don't have to worry about him overthrowing things or over stressing that arm. We also can count on the manager to be responsible about his pitch count and innings count.

This is probably because he is one of our only pitchers with electric stuff. I'd love to sit in the stands and hear all the stereotypical older south side fans (isn't it true baseball's demographic is 55 and up gentlemen?) fans express displeasure at the thought of an opener pitching the opener.

Yes let's not pitch him because.... people all overthrow on opening day? 

I expect nothing else from balta logic.

Getz seems to have a plan.  Let him throw 80 or so innings by the end of July / mid-August and shut him down.  

Piggy back his starts with Kopech in behind him for the same thing and see if there could still be value.

Hopefully the pitch count sits around 85 per start and we call it season.

If he throws only 80 innings he wouldn't even be able to top 150 next year.
