32-111

It seems to me that a starting pitcher is motivated by the opportunity to win a game. Not Garrett Crochet, not with the Sad Sox. You see, Crochet is on a leash of around 50 pitches. So, unless he can reach five innings, he has absolutely no chance of getting a win. Instead of achieving the impossible against the Red Sox last night, Crochet proved all too human, going through his allotment of pitches in just two innings, giving up four runs in the process. Red Sox 7 Sad Sox 5. It was Crochet’s eleventh loss of the season, his team’s. 111th. The ’62 Mets were 35-108 after 143 games. According to mlb.com, Bryan Ramos is the twelfth-best prospect for the Sad Sox, but you could’ve fooled me. Ramos hasn’t appeared in any of the three games since being recalled, and he’s not in today’s starting lineup. Nice to see the Sox brain trust thinking about next season.
