Garrett Crochet Strikes Out 11 vs Yankees in His Playoff Debut!

And he’s gone. He chased a four seamer at 99. And a strike gun for Proche of Bellinger. Right above the zone. Just perfectly located too when you go for a strike out. And it helps if you can throw a 99. He went back to what has gotten him on that man. Two and two. Slow runner at the plate. And he hits one hard on the ground to Story who will flip to Sogard. There’s the double play. They crochet and the Red Sox needed. Well, the old adage in baseball, regardless of the quality of the pitcher, you better get him early. And Crochet may have just gotten the biggest break with a double play from Stanford. Yeah, wish it were that easy, but he’s certainly his pulled fly ball rate. One, two from Crochet. He locked him up. That’s hot by Narvas. And there’s strikeout number two from Crochet. One of the big reasons Aaron Boon did not start many lefties in this lineup is because of this right here. The matchup just favors Crochet so much. Bellinger strikes out against Crochet. Now you get Gisham with the same result. 99 looming. Got him there to chase 98. You said a successful plate appearance for Cabier even though it ends in a strikeout. The third of the game for Crochet. Just above the zone, but hard to lay off. You see coming right in your living room right there. How good that four seamer looks when it’s up in your eyes. Judge on deck. One out. Bottom three. 3-2 on the way. He is gone. A cutter in the dirt that Narvay will throw to first. He shows what it takes to perform and post in October. Yeah, he’s revered in that clubhouse. Dawn there as Crochet got him with a 91 mph cutter. Strike gun number five for Crochet. Back to back with the cutters. The last one he fouled off. Had a really good swing at. That’s another good one to hit. He misses it. That’s one. And generally the misses for both pitchers tonight have nothing big at all. I mean, they have been little misses. That’s called strike three. Little things decide big games. Getting a pitch count up against an ace is one of those things. Locked up there and Vulpi is gone. A strike out for Crochet. Seven tonight. The beauty is the combination of the cutter and the sweeper. We saw a couple of sweepers. Vulpi failed him off. Crochet goes to the cutter. A little bit harder, a little bit tighter. 90. That one works. Buried down and in. called strike three and Crochet strikes out the side in the bottom of the fifth. He now has eight. Good games today. A one-run game, a two-run game, and a one-run game here tonight. Goldmid hits one to left. Durant quickly over in the corner and he’s there to make a running catch. He got him with a Connor off speed 88 and Judge strikes out. Rocher walks off as Judge does the same. Got him to expand. Darren Crochet picks up another strikeout and he’s retired 13 in a row. Gisham Vulpi Wells. He’s gone. Crochet 17 in a row. Eight strikeouts. You talk about lanes and Alex Kora understands what a lineup configuration looks like and how to manipulate not his but Aaron Boon. Crochet continuing to just deal. Crochet’s 117th pitch. That’s called strike three. Austin Wells, a catcher like Narvz perhaps trying to buy himself the walk like Narvay has done twice. What’s Bor going to do here? He’s going with Chapman. Crochet’s night over 11 strikeouts. Chapman coming in. [Applause] Well, that meeting on the mound seemed to pay off. Refocus Crochet who threw that last pitch at 100.2 mph. His fastest pitch of the night at the knees. And yes, it’s a strike. So baseball is so beautiful for things like this when you bring in a guy that
