00:00But if this guy is on pace for nearly 300 strikeouts in the season, I'm all over the

00:08K props.

00:09I'll let you set it up though.

00:10What's up?

00:11Yeah.

00:12Tyler glass.

00:13Now it's not leading the league in strikeouts.

00:14He's number two.

00:15He's at one 43 leading the league in strikeouts as a guy on the white socks with 146 right

00:21now.

00:22It's Garrett crochet is ERA is a three zero eight.

00:24Another guy that was super cheap in drafts this year.

00:27Now he's up to 105 innings on the season.

00:29Now that is a high number for Garrett crochet because he's never crossed really this crap.

00:37But well, I hate, I hate to do it, but here's why crochet could be different than a guy

00:42like Louie's heel.

00:44And I think the answer to that is frame.

00:47He is six, six to 45.

00:48This is a much different size picture than Louie's heel is.

00:51Okay.

00:52So I do think there's something to that.

00:54I think that size can help carry him into the next 50 innings here.

00:59And you still have another 50, maybe even 60 innings ahead of the season that you can

01:03really think of good quality.

01:04He is going to make the all-star team has no doubt about that in my mind.

01:09And then you also look at what's potentially after that.

01:11And I think a little break, if the white socks were smart, especially holding all the cards

01:16here in this trade market with crochet, who is going to be the guy that most teams are

01:20going to want, even though you don't know what it's going to look like come September

01:25and even October.

01:26I think with crochet, you're looking at the control.

01:28You're looking at the opportunity to have this pitcher on your roster for a whole other

01:32year, but you're also looking at how to stretch him a little bit to get him to that point

01:37where you need him in those big games down the stretch.

01:40And I think in July, you might see them, you know, there's a day off there.

01:43They're going to keep with the five man rotation.

01:45They're not going to throw a crochet out there after the all-star break.

01:48You don't start him first out of the break, right?

01:51You give a little bit of time there and a little bit of a breather.

01:54And I think that's how you can manage crochet and still get there.

01:56But the strikeout rate has been absolutely phenomenal, top in the league.

02:00And I mean, absolutely brilliant.

02:01The last seven games for him, 2-1-6 ERA, 41 innings, 61 strikeouts.

02:06And the real winner here, just nine walks.

02:09That's been the secret to crochet success this season.
