Game 76: Red Sox at Mariners, Crochet vs. Castillo
Briefly

The recent days in baseball have been filled with drama and emotions, particularly surrounding the Raffy trade and its implications. The 2025 Sox roster managed to refute concerns about their performance without Devers in Game 1, but they were ultimately shut out in Game 2, raising questions about their batting. With an average of less than three runs per game since the Yankees series, there is anticipation as to whether their hitters will step up today, particularly in support of Crochet, who boasts a significant strikeout advantage over rival pitcher Castillo.
The Raffy trade remains the hot topic and will continue to be so in the coming days and maybe weeks.
The 2025 Sox roster quieted the narrative that they'd suffer without Devers in Game 1, and then proceeded to get completely shut out in Game 2.
Can the bats come fully alive today? Will said bats support a Crochet effort?
Crochet's 117 strikeouts are currently 50 more this season than Castillo's, who has 67.
