(Photo by Paul Rutherford/Getty Images) | Getty Images After getting absolutely annihilated in his previous start on Monday in Minnesota to the tune of 11 runs in just 1.2 innings, Garrett Crochet is set to retake the mound today and convince us all that everything will be fine as far as he and his health are concerned.

The other option will be to just wait until after sunset when it will be dryer, but still very cold and windy. When they do get started, today’s lineup includes leading off in leftfield, at first base, and , , and all starting on the bench with an opposing left-handed starter on the mound in for . OTM’s own pitching guru Jacob Roy will be around later to handle the postgame wrap and tell us if we should should be freaking out or breathing a sigh a relief when it comes to Crochet.
