Garret Crochet
vs
Joe Ryan
The 2023 Oakland Athletics got their fourth win on game 20 and by game 23 were 5-18. They scored 81 runs in their first 22 games (3.7 runs/G) while the White Sox have scored 50 (2.3 R/G). If the 2024 White Sox have one thing going for them compared to last season's Athletics, it's the 129 runs allowed through 22 games compared to the 178 runs allowed for the Athletics.
Crochet strikes out a lot of batters, doesn't walk many, and gives up a few too many home runs but everything else is good enough for his 3.86 FIP. His current ERA of 5.61 comes from being shelled in his last two games. The Twins need to study the Phillies game and repeat that for today.
Laz Diaz behind the plate tonight.
Ryan does much better with no one on base. Clearly, then, the thing for him to do is throw a perfect game.
Good job by Atteberry tying Jim Kaat into the "Hello Kitty" promotion.
Twins take the early lead!
Revolutionary!
Nothing cures what ails you like playing the Whities.
Castronaut hits it into outer space!
NO HITTER ALERT
I blame you.
Get your punishment out of the way and get on with your life.
I guess that's one way to not have to pitch with runners on base.
Solo HRs don't hurt you. Bert™
Somewhere in Florida, Bert is saying, "Solo home runs don't hurt you."
You and me, bS. Thinking along the same lines.
*nods*
Twins need to score a few more I think.
Asked, delivered.
Farmer is past due.
White Sockery!
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Farmer still due. 🙁
Ryan Jeffers, Professional hitter.
At the risk of Rhubarb-running myself, really good outing for Ryan.
My timing was better than his.
Wait, mine was spot-on!
Heh.
Definitely seeing a different Max than before. Thank God.
These Sox are in Orioles' 0-21 vicinity. I'd be embarrassed to throw up an L against them.
