The article chronicles a pivotal baseball game featuring Garrett Crochet and Carlos Narvaez. Despite earlier struggles, the team showcased resilience, with Narvaez scoring the winning hit in extra innings. Crochet's dominant performance was critical, particularly how he managed difficult counts effectively, illustrating the hallmarks of a great pitcher. The tension of the game was palpable—each moment felt like a lost cause until the unexpected game-winning play, suggesting a budding turnaround for the team as they adapt under pressure.
When Crochet wasn't able to finish the job, the game felt like a lost cause... when Carlos Narvaez went down 0-2 with two outs, the game felt like a lost cause.
What impressed me most about Crochet wasn't his swing and miss stuff, rather how he responded when he fell behind in counts.
In the top of the tenth, he threw out Anthony Volpe, who was trying to steal third for some inexplicable reason.
It's hard to have a much more impactful inning than that.
