Garrett Crochet - Clobbered by Cubs Crochet (6-9) took the loss Friday as the White Sox fell 7-6 to the Cubs, coughing up seven runs on nine hits -- including four home runs -- over 2.1 innings. He struck out five wi... Impact The southpaw did manage to generate 15 swinging strikes among his 67 pitches (45 total strikes), but Crochet got tattooed when he left the ball over the plate as he served up multiple homers for the first time since April 19. The White Sox are trying to limit his workload over the final months of a lost season, but Crochet seems to be fading regardless -- he hasn't worked more than four innings in any of his last six outings, but has an 0-3 record, 6.98 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB through 19.1 innings to show for it. His fantasy value is questionable as long as the ChiSox continue with their current plan for him, as he has almost no chance at a win unless the team decides to try using an opener ahead of him, with a strong K/9 being his only real asset. Crochet lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend in Houston.
