Crochet's Tough Outing: Twins Scouted Him

0:00It's April 17th. You're listening to Boston Red Sox News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Garrett Crochet had a rough night on the mound for the Boston Red Sox, getting tagged for 11 runs, 10 earned, and a 13-6 loss against. The Minnesota Twins. The lefty ace only lasted one and two-thirds innings, a far cry from his strong run where he'd given up just 13 runs over his previous eight, starts dating back to last year. Crochet figures the Twins did their homework, scouting his fastballs like the sinker, four seamer, and cutter, and sitting on whatever he threw. It all unfolded so quick, he couldn't adjust on the fly. Kading him across different pitch types. His fastball velocity dropped to 94.9 mph, the lowest this season compared to 96.4 last year. He also leaned too heavy on the cutter, throwing it 21 times out of 55 pitches, and the twins crushed it with singles and a homer, backing him into a corner.

1:00That outing spiked his season ERA to 7.58, but the 26-year-old is in panicking and wants to shake it off like any other. Start. He's lined up to face the Detroit Tigers this Sunday. Crochet is already putting it behind him, pretending that game got rained out, ready to reset and attack the next one head on.
