“It’s definitely been a growing experience, trying to go out there with the same mindset every time, regardless of runners on base or how many outs there are,” Crochet said Wednesday. “Just trying to attack the batter at hand and just take it pitch by pitch.”
Crochet spoke before Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers was postponed because of inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a straight doubleheader Thursday starting at 4:10 p.
