Garrett Crochet
Arguably the best pitcher in the American League this season, Garrett Crochet has been outstanding as he’s leading the league in innings and has a 2.06 ERA. In only two of his 17 starts this season has he allowed more than two earned runs. Once was in his third start of the year and the last time was earlier this month against the Yankees. Over his last three starts he’s allowed two total earned runs while throwing 21.1 innings and striking out 25 batters.
The splits tell us a lot of what was above – Crochet has been really good this year. Left-handed hitters rarely get a chance to face him, but when they do we find out why. They aren’t hitting for average, drawing any walks, nor are they hitting for any power. Righties aren’t doing much better – though they are doing a bit better in each category.

we will need some kind of production out of 7-8-9 tonight to be successful. if nothing else just working counts, driving up pitch counts, maybe a couple extra base runners.
Another chance for the Reds to move more than 4 games over .500.
Will they finally break through that glass ceiling tonight?
And boy, what a start to Chase Burns’ career. His first game is pitching at home to the mighty New York Yankees, and his second game is pitching in the legendary Fenway Park against the BoSox. No “easing in” for this rookie.
Would be amazing to finally crack ceiling and push to 5 games above .500.
Burns has had 2 extremely tough draws in his first 2 starts. That’s for sure.
Congrats to Steer, well deserved!
Let’s get some run support for Burns. Tough draw going against Crochet.
It may be a tough go tonight against Crochet, but hope springs eternal. Also, I am excited to see Burns pitch again.
Hays has enjoyed good production in his career at Fenway. Trevino has also hit well there in 50 ABs. He’ll be a solid option off the bench. Burns gets another shot of adrenaline pitching in Beantown. Go, Reds! Wear out the Green Monster!
That’s why Trevino, among many reasons, should be starting
The Central Division is getting more competitive as time goes by, ESPN power ranking has the Cubs 4th, Brewers 10th, Cards 11th and Reds 15th this week.
Even the Pirates are 16-15 since Kelly took over including the 3 game sweep of the Mets. Central has been ultra competitive.
Scratch that, they’re 23-24 under Kelly. Still more competitive than under Shelton.
In the last couple of weeks the Pirates have swept the Phillies and Mets at PNC Park. They won 2 of 3 against the Reds there as well. I guess teams have a collective mental letdown going into Pittsburgh and figure it’ll be an easy series. Unfortunately the Reds have suffered the last few seasons in September thinking that way and embarrassed themselves. Always respect your opponents.
I think Chase Burns was practically a 2-pitch guy against the Yankees so that helped in the first trip through the power NY lineup but when he went to face for the 2nd time things were harder. He threw his curveball 1% and changeup below 10% in that first major league outing. Burns should mix a little more to have success going deeper in the game. Maybe he will show more confidence in his repertoire tonight
I didn’t get to see Burns first game but hoping he can go 5 or 6 solid innings again at least.
Way to go Steer … you deserve it!!
Focus, Young Master Burns. You are their master and can bend them to your will … 😐
Let’s smash that Green Monster hard and often and Kick This Pig!!!
Pulling for Hinds to have a good game.
It won’t be easy but I would love to see Burns lead the way and finally get this team 5 games over .500.
Watched the beginning of SD/Philly on MLB Network. SD was 1-25 with risp in Cincinnati. Wheeler is something else….consistently 97-100 mph for how many years now? 1677 career ip and still going strong!
We beat Crochet last year, but he’s good. Better catch a fastball before he gets 2 strikes on you. We take so many right down the middle early? Working the pitcher is fine, but not when they’re really good.
Took Burns 6+ Ks & Yankees/Jays to score 2+ each (+125)
I’m losing it as I age … 😮
I could swear the Gameday pre-game line-up had Hays in RF and Lux at DH. With Steer in LF I was thinking, “That’s a challenging OF setup”. I just hope Steer manages the Monster well tonight. It’s hard when you don’t play 82 games a year there. I hope he can smack a couple of Harvey Wallbangers as well!! 😀
I think Burns can get away with using 2 pitches because Boston does not have a strong line up, but for his development he needs to consistently features the change up. Tj, Elly, and Steer need to provide some offense. Let’s take the first game.
“Not a strong line-up” and the first few innings will be so easy.
What was that about Boston not having a strong lineup?
Besides the LF wall, the biggest monster the Reds face tonight is the best pitcher in the AL. AND he’s a lefty to boot which has been the Reds kryptonite!
Hoping Burns pitches well again! Tempering my hope for a win and just hoping for a low scoring competitive game!
Fenway Park is still on my bucket list to see a game, but I will settle tonight with a consolation prize in a Reds win!
Reds are 91 OPS+ and 119 ERA+ as a team so far. 100 is average in both categories.
You’re trapped in a room with a lion, a rattlesnake, and a Red Sox fan. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do? A: Shoot the Redsox fan twice.
+10,000 😀
As a kid in NY’s Southern Tier, the Elmira tea was the Pioneer Red Sox. Saw a few games at Dunn Field.
Ugly start. TJ smacked it hard but it’s a long way to that notch.
OK, let’s get this done, Chase.
What a first inning by Crochet…Reds hitters looked confused
YIKES!!!
Fenway jitters??
Reds cannot make those mistakes!
Come on McLain. That can’t happen.
I am dead wrong. Burns does need to throw the change up to get out of this first inning predicament.
This game may be over.
Once again, the Reds defense is NOT helping their SP! This could get ugly quickly!
Costly error to say the least.
this game is trending as being over early…the error was a killer
This game could be over in this first inning… Misfortune a bit but have been hard contacts
Gonna take a lot of scoreless innings for Burns to get his ERA back down to “normal”!
Ballgame – thanks McClain ! Awesome throw
Little league.
Ouch. Turn out the lights, the party’s over!
I’m thinking it’s gonna be an early Clete for me tonight. Hope this doesn’t rock Burns’ confidence too much. We should have been out of the inning by now.
Burns is finding out this is not the minor leagues anymore
Ouch. Sliders and fastballs so far. Smh
Burns has been really crushed right now especially the slider…Really batting practice…I hate watch this start of this series
Cue the the RLN guys saying Burns isn’t ready…send him back.
It’s a hard lesson on a pretty big stage. Tito knows this park well. I hate to see him get shelled, but sometimes you have to barf up a lung in order to learn.
I’ll keep him in The Show at this point.
“sometimes you have to barf up a lung in order to learn”
I hope not. haha
“…barf up a lung?”
Crazy inning swing thanks to McLain and his throwing error. Should have been a double play.
This is baseball. Happens to the best of them. Some nights it just goes that way.
I do find it interesting that people slam Petty after what, 2 starts in MLB, as a 22 year old? Some fans don’t reside in reality.
No Monday Night Football so I guess I’ll have to watch the replay of the US Men’s Team soccer win from last night!
I thought Boston was supposed to have trouble scoring runs?
Shut up Sadak
I haven’t seen anything like this except for the Reds scoring 10 in the first this year … What a barrage by Boston ! It’s 6-0 with only 1 out…
I took the over on this game, because I had a feeling teams would come up with a plan for Burns after seeing him pitch against the Yankees.
7.5 is the line.
I didn’t think they’d almost get there in the 1st inning.
Burns needed this. It’s a learning experience, a real “Welcome to the show, rookie.” kind of moment.
Hope he learns and get stronger because of this.
I think he is tipping his pitches. The Sox know what’s coming.
Red Sox radio broadcast team believe Burns is tipping his pitches because of all the hard contact by the Boston batters.
Yes….very possible
Some of these Sox youngsters have probably faced Burns in the minors.
This is an awful inning and a lot is on Mclain. If he is going to hit like he has he can’t make those type of errors. Reds need to win at least one in this series.
We can only hope the Red Sox will tire themselves out! 🙂
Burns only throwing two pitches. That won’t work. Deja vu early Hunter Greene all over again.
Exactly!
Not to mention, early Johnny Cueto, early Homer Bailey, etc.
Fireballers seem to always experience this, because they can overpower minor leaguers with pure stuff.
Then they get to MLB and suddenly almost everyone can hit their fastball.
That’s when they have that “Ok, I need to learn how to really PITCH.” epiphany.
Hope Burns takes this lesson and it helps motivate him to evolve to the next stage.
Shouldn’t someone have told him to get a third pitch or even a fourth by now?
He has a great changeup.
Jim Maloney pitched out of the bullpen in 1960 and 1961. He wasn’t ready as a starter in 1962 so he was sent down to AAA to start the season. He came back better and then was Reds ace from 1963 to 1969.
well this can screw up your pitching for the rest of the series
Boston running up 6-0.Talk about stepping on a teams throat.May do us some good or may not.They came out ready to play and we could say we didn’t so far.Interesting to see how we respond as a team.
Now the bullpen should cover all the game…really bad to start this series , I unexpected this really…
Just wondering how long Tito will let Burns get pummeled!
Perhaps the push to extend Burns was a bit premature.
Perhaps snarky comments about a fictional ‘push’ to extend Burns are premature.
He’s fine. 🙂
It’s amazing the level of stupidity on here. Once again I come for the laughs
Boy humbling outing for Burns. I think he’ll be fine overall. Will be curious how he responds against Philly later this weekend.
Suter comes on to face Duran after Boston bats around… What a stunning start for Burns !
In his first outing he struck out the side and looked dominant, but he did give up 3 runs while pitching 5. It looked like the Red Sox knew what he was throwing.
Not the way they wanted to start this key week of baseball. I was hoping for at least a .500 trip. That will be awful tough now.
Gotta find a way to win at least one of the two remaining games in Boston and steal one of the three games in Philly! Will enable the Reds to finish the road trip two games above .500!
Well, it didn’t go as planned…
well, when Burrow gets the ball, we just need to drive down the field and get this thing tied up before halftime
+10,000 😀
Flashbacks hitting me hard right now. Get a stop, defense!
Ouch. Milw new guy has given up 3 hits in 16 innings, but he’s a year older then Burns. Keep running him out there and he’ll figure it out. HG been injury prone really hurts though. Our rotation is the only thing thats supposed to give us a chance. Problem is they’ve been winning 2 of 3 for weeks and still 9th in the NL
Misiorowski has been outstanding so far.
This is the worst season first inning by the Reds pitching so far
I believe if they turn that double play, or even gotten one, things might have been different. I am so disgusted with Mclain this year.
I am proud of Matt McLain. He is battling back from an injury that sidelined him all year last season. After a slow start he is battling back and producing.
After a slow start he still hangs in there in front of tens of thousands of folks almost every night. Who among us has faced diversity like that?
…adversity…
Well, we certainly have our work cut out for us, don’t we?
If Boston blows us out today, they will have trouble putting up runs tomorrow. It’s just one game…
I’ll say this again. How is Burns out there with only two pitches in his repertoire? Where’s the coaching to get him a third or even a fourth?
Hunter Greene was pretty much in the same boat, two pitches. It’s amazing how well Big League hitters can hit a 99 mph heater … and if not, they can catch up to a slider.
Sliders down and away seem to be the bane of young Reds’ hitters.
He has a great changeup
It’s a stinker but starting pitching has been our strength and it will continue.How far this team goes is strictly up to improvements at the plate and in the pen.Just one game tonight.No worries about the starting pitching unless more injuries occur.
I can see it’s gonna take some time for Hays to get back to doing damage at the plate…he looks no where near he was earlier in the year
I don’t think the Red’s can be considered series contenders until they can get 5 games over and that isn’t going to happen this week.
Just tuning in – did Burns tip his pitches?
Tonight was going to be a tough assignment going against Crochet. The Reds will bounce back tomorrow.
This is when we must have our middle relievers pitch a minimum of three innings. This reliance on one inning 15 pitch arms is frustrating.
Before the start of this 3 game series I thought this would be the most difficult to win because the Reds were facing a very good lefty in Crochet. Just hate that Burns had an extremely difficult outing. Unfortunately the leadoff walk and the error by McLain led to a catastrophic inning. Still got 8 at bats to peck away at the deficit. Going to be challenging but after 57 years of listening to MLB games every once and a while a miraculous comeback occurs!! Just call me Cleteless John Jackson!!
Keep up the good work Clete-less John Jackson! After all Cleters are quitters!
I think the Red’s might consider pitching Singer Sunday on regular rest and save Burns until after the break while bringing up another bull pen arm. They won’t need a 5th starter until the 22nd and maybe Greene will be ready by then.
My mistake missed a whole week.
From GameDay, it looked like the Red Sox had some good longer at-bats against Burns. The Mclain error really hurt, but got to give the Red Sox hitters some credit too. Still a bit shocking but now we’ll really see if Burns is ready for the Majors with how he responds next outing I think.
Espinal with the best struck ball against Crochet tonight … Still for naught.
Friedl and Hinds both had better hit balls before that.
I worry about getting a hit tonight, let alone a run. This team is not built to overcome bad starts.
You should start following the Reds.
Tom wins troll of the comment section tonight …being a first class jerk
Suter dseserves kudos for cooling the Red Sox bats and retiring seven in a row.
This is why I said I would take Myley over any young pitchers and took a lot of heat from RLN. I think Burns will be a good pitcher once he adds a 3rd pitch. All he needs to do is use Ashcraft as a lesson learned.
Burns has four pitches. There is a growing thing that he only has two (just went through this over on RML). If you’ve watched him over the course of the season, he throws all four.
Burns, like many, starts with the fastball and slider, then works in the change and curve. Some might be making a conclusion based on 5 plus innings. It is incorrect.
Well there goes the no hitter. Thank God. This cat can pitch.
McLain breaks up Crochet’s roll with a Double !
There goes shutout.
Tricky notch even if you play there regularly.
At least we’re not getting blanked tonight.
I guess some folks didn’t read your comment the first time. Watched him pitch in AAA and he does have a great, moving change up. And a 12-6 curve too.
He has yet to get his fastball over at the top of the zone in either start but that will get better.
Only one takeaway from this. A team of Reds coaches need to go in a room, watch video and not come out until they figure out what the Sox already know. If they don’t the word will get around fast.
Hays foot looks like it’s feeling better.
And wham bam, the Reds are on the board … Triple by Hays !
Reds are not rolling over and I love that.Great to see for sure.
Surprised they didn’t get Hays at home.
Nice to score some Runs. Some nice hitting this inning.
Can we do it!? Three runs scored against crochet. Any of you havea rabbit in a hat in case we need it!?
Love rabbit! Tastes like chicken!
Reds got a little rally of their going tonight !
own
i am always looking for Hinds to do damage early in the count, cause when he gets 2 strikes, you just know something with a wrinkle in it is coming & he ain’t hittin it
Give credit where credit is due, the team didn’t quit.
Has Hinds given this team anything?
Espinal does not give you much at the plate….but that man can play 3rd with the best of em
Well, well, well! There went the no-hitter and the shutout!
I don’t know Joe La Sorsa, but he got a GIDP to end Boston’s 4th …
CES and Hinds must use the same batting instructor.
And it’s not Valakia …
CES no business on this roster
I made the difficult decision to put the game on the TV complete with WLW audio …
I’m wearing my City Connect t-shirt for whatever that’s worth.
Need a little luck (like that one for Espy) and string together more hits.
By luck I mean THAT from TJ!!!
Gave Espy an error? Wth that was a single
Reds need to use the running game to put pressure on Crochet and steam a couple runs.
Steal a couple runs or avoid double play.
Holy smokes, the Reds are at it again in the 5th !
But one is all they’ll get .
A little ambushing might pay off.
We ain’t dead yet.
Just keep chipping away at the lead! One run an inning will work assuming the Reds BP can hold the fort!
Elly fell out of the box and it’s a GIDP. That’s some BAD luck.
OK, hold ’em and then do it again.
Yep, can BP hold ‘em a couple more innings, see what offense can do.
Bad luck, Elly slipped when he batted maybe it would be hard to make the double play
Yeah … I think he beats the throw if he doesn’t slip. It was slower developing from what I saw.
Rats!!!
Another killer GIDP from Elly! Drat!
He slipped … that happens sometimes.
Thanks! Wasn’t watching at the time!
Clown show defense in full effect now
Uh please Steer, after Reds managed to get close in the game…you can’t misplay that fly…
Lost it in the twilight sky.
If you know, you know.
They don’t know just need something to whine about.
Welsh explained it well if you aren’t listening to WLW. The ball was above the light standards and the light’s aren’t fully “on” in the twilight sky. Easy to lose a ball like that. I’ll cut Steer a break this time.
Gave one run back but there’s still time! Scoring 4 runs off Crochet is noteworthy if nothing else!
Make that 5
i guess Hays is back to form!
Kind of a creepy shot of that arm tat and armpit hair … 😮
Nice blast from Hays.
Hays is crushing Crochet
Hays doing Hays things. Steer does not hit unless he’s in the 6th spot.
Hinds jsut doing the same thing over & over
Hines same thing every time. Two strikes than a breaking . Way too easy. I’d rather see Benson hit against left handers or Joe when he’s well.
Gotta get Strand outta this lineup… dude couldn’t hit it in the Atlantic Ocean if he was standing on the shoreline and the ball was on a tee ….
Don’t count on MLB scout as a career path you’ll be disappointed.
Lol
Tom, when the Reds are losing, this comment section is a psychiatrist’s dream.
Oh that’s rich Tom …. Never claimed to be close to one … watched CES enough thru minors and now to know that it’s not translating for him at this level
May you have a quick recovery from SSSD.
Who previously stated that the bottom of the order could be critical in this game? C’mon, guys!
I wasn’t expecting La Sorsa for a 3rd inning in the 6th … and there it goes , Reds now down by 4 .
I’m looking at Francona .
LOL Sorsa – what a joke
Cardinals fans. What a joke.
Must be you … I can’t stand St. Louis
Reds fan all my life thru thick and thin
+1
behind the plate ump isn’t helping. way more generous to crochet tonight
Hinds is starting to look like Cerrano from Major League. Can’t hit the curve ball.
Reminds me that I should watch “Trouble With The Curve”. Eastwood did a great job and, of course, Amy Adams was Amy Adams.
Matthew Lillard was a real jerk in that movie as a baseball executive! He also played a baseball player in another baseball movie The Summer Catch!
It’s hard to come back while you got LaSorsa pitching through 3 innings… was the towel thown since the first by Tito just to save the bullpen?
Looks that way.
You can’t treat every game like it’s Game 7. The season is too long. You guys blamed Bell for not finishing seasons well, but want Francona to do whatever it takes to win each night’s game even if means burning out a pitching staff by August.
Makes no sense.
Can’t keep trading runs! Need 3 shutout innings from the Reds bullpen!
Now pitching, Conner Phillips! “Hold on to your butts”!
C’mon. Top of line up with Espinal on base.
I love the fight in the boys tonight, but we’re not going anywhere with this pen. If HG was coming back next week and they could move guys around, but thats not happening. Tito needs a couple of arms…now. Krall pays Candy when we didn’t need 1B/DH, then when we need help he does nothing.
Our old friend Tucker Barnhart is hanging up his gear …
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/06/tucker-barnhart-to-retire.html
Reds have shown me something tonight.They could have rolled over and they didn’t.Bodes well knowing they put up 5 against a very very good pitcher.He is not a scrub he is as ace.Good job.
Yep. Totally agree. Al Cy Young candidate with a 6.00 ERA for today’s game. Good job by the Reds against a tough lefty.
I totally agree. Every team has bad days. But they are showing heart which is very encouraging
Reds with another scoring opportunity here in the 7th … and Elly just worked a walk.
Well we had the guy up who’s been smokin’ today … but nothing doing in the 7th.
It would be cool if Hays could go ahead and get the double out of the way here.
That may have been the last chance for the Reds tonight!
Sounds like something a clever would say.
Good challenge … so much dirt in the way but he was out.
Phillips at only 10 pitches thru 1-1/3rd innings! I say send him back to the mound to start the 8th inning!
It’s good that Phillips is getting a lower leverage chance tonight.
4 outs in 10 pitches.
Steer in a bad night today…After a great series against Padres…
apparently that 1st baseman for Boston cannot make a catch at 1st without falling over
A little here, a little there … what might have been.
Good job by the boyz coming back as far as they did. One more inning, but it would take quite the miracle now.
Done commenting … unless there is that miracle … still watching.
Pirates routing Cards 7-0 in top of 7th
We certainly have had opportunities. It’s hard to rely on hits to come back from 7-0. Francona needed to force the issue with running game and he didn’t. Boston didn’t give us any freebies either. Gallant effort nonetheless. Never give up.
Wonder when the last game was that Boston had 9 runs and 13 hits?
Well wait for a full report while you look it up.
That was a rhetorical question, Doofy! Want me to define that big word for you?
Yes please do. And while you’re at it please do a little research on pitch counts for SP to bring some more realistic content to the site. Thanks!
13 runs on 14 hits now…
Connor has ’em loaded with one out in the 8th …
And there goes a Grand Salami, after a three pitch strike out …
That’s it for me campers! Hopefully a better result tomorrow!
Cleters are quitters. See you later.
F-you! Whoever you are! I have followed the Reds since before you were born! Through the good, the bad and the ugly! It’s my prerogative to decide when to exit this site!
Sleep well.
Tom being a complete troll the entire comment section … you win jerk of the evening dude
Thanks for the compliment @RedAlert. We’ll come back and get them tomorrow.
Dennis, this will be your only warning for the language.
Tom, there’s a lot of posting by you in here that is reading like you just want to be a pain in everyone’s butt and want to start arguments.
Don’t do that.
@Doug Gray. My apologies, I’ll do the best I can to be more positive in regards to the Reds.
Come back! I’m making espresso!
That’s awful …
Phillips put that ball right in a left-hand batters wheel-house, down and in, and a good major league batter did exactly what he should do with it….crushed it
98.6 low and in. Tip of the cap to the hitter. Was a great pitch.
Yeah, but the Reds didn’t just lie down after the first. They got to Crochet in 4th for 3, and 1 in the next too. I think Tito wanted them to run up the score to give us a better shot tomorrow. Really. After the 7th though the Reds were done offensively.
And Trevino gets the last out with a K – pitching in the 8th !
CES battling like I never saw him before … Singles to lead off the Reds’ ninth.
and it’s now 13-6 …
Yes and the guy was bringing it at 99 and CES singles on the 9th pitch of the at bat in a 13-5 blow out.
And that’s the ol’ ball game. Reds take the loss, 13-6.
We’ll be back tomorrow !
This game has been horrible at the start and at the end but the Reds play good in the middle of it
There’s always something awesome about a Grand Slam, even if it’s by the other team… Today’s loss was on the pitching.
It wasn’t the Reds night but they fought hard. This is a fun and talented team to watch.
Hope the Red Sox hit all they was going to hit in this series just today …Now Reds should pass the page and come back tomorrow to look for a win
Exactly. Every day is a new day in baseball.
