T R U Posted September 7, 2024 Share Posted September 7, 2024 Crochet has been terrible since August. Either the Sox really are the most incompetent franchise in baseball botching his management, or possibly worse letting Crochet dictate how he’s used. Can we shut this guy down already? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted September 7, 2024 Share Posted September 7, 2024 Crochet is now at 133 innings, which no one thought he would really reach without struggling/dead arm. The Sox seem determined to get him to 150+ innings, even though his ERA will likely be in the 4’s and they will have hurt his trade value for the offseason. This team could f*** up a wet dream. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Modern front offices won't care because they'll use data, advanced metrics, etc. Since the Sox are the ones selling him, we basically just remove the Rockies from the situation.

caulfield12 Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 Are they deliberately putting every player in the lineup fans don't want to see at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
