The southpaw was on 85 pitches, but manager Alex Cora noted that it was preplanned to not extend the 25-year-old \u2014 the left-hander also confirmed the plan.<\/p>\n<p>It was a difficult decision since the loss put the Red Sox back below .500, but they also want to keep Crochet\u2019s workload in mind so that he can help them earn a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really hard because he\u2019s dealing in the moment. He\u2019s looking the way he looks, and then you make the decision that really is rooted in the overall health of the team,\u201d Red Sox president and CEO said on WEEI\u2019s \u201cThe Greg Hill Show\u201d on Thursday. \u201cBut those are the hard decisions that our guys have to make night in and night out. We\u2019re preparing for 162, but in the moment, you certainly don\u2019t want to see a guy like that come out of the game when you see what he\u2019s doing. But, obviously, as everyone knows, he hasn\u2019t pitched a whole slate of 162. He\u2019s strong, and young and building up. We just got to make sure everyone stays healthy. It\u2019s hard. Baseball in the moment is really hard, but you got to think about the next several weeks, as well. It\u2019s a difficult balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crochet still led in the league in innings pitched at 68 1\/3 after Wednesday\u2019s start. The All-Star pitcher has had a stellar start to the season with a 1.98 ERA and 78 strikeouts. Boston hopes to have that production through the most pivotal parts of the season, and it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see more instances like Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s47719.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/cropped-Jason-Ounpraseuth-96x96.jpg\" alt=\"Red Sox President Explains Challenges Of Balancing Garrett Crochet's Workload\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3>Jason Ounpraseuth JasonOun95<\/h3>\n<p>Editorial Content Writer II<\/p>\n<p>Editorial Content Writer II for NESN.com.
