With the Red Sox having some momentum after winning two straight and four of their last five games, they gave the ball to Garrett Crochet last night. He was facing a Minnesota Twins lineup that recently beat up on Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, and turned in the worst performance of his career: an 11-run, 1.2 IP stint. With his velocity and arm angle down slightly, are you concerned? Personally, I’m not. (I actually am slightly concerned, but choose to say I’m not because that’s much less scary).

We go again against the Twins tonight. Hopefully Sonny Gray puts forward a better performance against one of his former teams. Use this space to talk about what you want and, as always, be good to one another.
