Nitpicking

White Sox starter Garrett Crochet invites cliché adjectives: electric, dominating, knee-buckling, etc. I’ll stop as soon as he does, which better not be anytime soon. Last night, Crochet shut out the Guardians over six innings, giving up five hits while striking out eleven. He’s gone two starts without a walk and has given up one free pass over his last seventeen innings. Sox win, 6-3. Now, for the nitpicking. I heard Crochet say how much he likes talking with Erick Fedde. OK, then imagine what he could learn from Dylan Cease. Oh, wait. We couldn’t sign Cease to an extension, so we traded him for three prospects. And in the bizzarro world of manager Mickey Mouse, Korey Lee got to catch Crochet last night. I can only hope Mouse didn’t blame Lee for any of those five hits Cleveland got. Better yet, maybe Mouse read the box score and saw that Lee went 2-for-4 with his fourth homerun of the year. Most places, that would be enough to merit starting the next game. But this is the White Sox. We’ll see.
