GreenSox Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Really? They pitch him tonight on regular rest. They let him throw in the all star game off of short 3 day rest. That's quite the workload management. There's no reason for him to pitch tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably treat the All-Star Game as his side session and it will be one inning max. Edited July 12 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would u guys prefer I stop whining about the sadness I feel in trading Crochet. Serious question, not a troll. I'll try if u suggest I do that. Other option is to let greg mourn when I read posts like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isn't traded in the next two weeks it will be this off season because an extension will not be forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he gets an inning in ASG, maybe not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew he was going to get bullpen number innings in the second half. This shows other teams that the Sox are protecting him for the next team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the team that trades for Crochet can find some balance of keeping him stretched out to start while giving him a lot of rest to have him as a postseason starter? 6-man rotation along with skipping Crochet’s starts where they can.

caulfield12 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Imagine if he has an inning like Big Unit did against Kruk Gwynn etc. at ASG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere where a team would make him a closer, then ramp him up a little at the end of the season so he could start in the postseason.

Crochet doesn't want to pitch in relief. He feels being a starter puts him on a routine that best helps his arm. If it was relief pitcher every 5 days then maybe but then why not just be an opener for an inning or 2 through August and Sept. Or lower his pitch count to 40 pitches or 2 inning whichever come 1st for 6 starts then back up to 60 75 ,90 in the last 3 starts of the season. How that would alter his between starts routine I don't know. Maybe Crochet tells the new team through Getz what he prefers before a trade can be completed. How all of that affects his arm or gets him to pitch higher innings in the playoff I have no idea.Its all unprecedented.

Yeah, I think that’s what a team would prob do. Either have a 6-man rotation or keep him on schedule every 5th day and have him pitch an inning or two with a long reliever. How many teams could do that though? It would have to be a team that is basically a lock for the post-season but I don’t know if there is ever such a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think crochet will value his health over his preference for the rest if this year. He has proven he can start and will be a starter next year. For the rest of this year he needs to decrease to bullpen level innings otherwise he won't have a next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
