Garrett Crochet is admittedly “chasing greatness” every time he takes the mound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Garrett\u00a0Crochet has enjoyed plenty of great performances\u00a0in his career. During a recent media availability, the\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0star pitcher\u00a0revealed the mindset he takes into every start, via Scott Merkin of MLB.com.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: Red Sox fans will absolutely love what Crochet said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m chasing greatness every time I touch the mound,\u201d Crochet said. \u201cEverybody is. I want to throw a complete-game, no-hitter. And then as soon as the first hit’s given up, I’m like, \u2018All right, let’s move on.’ But it’s just seeing how many zeros I can put up every time I go out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trying to throw a no-hitter each time he takes the mound? Sox fans won’t complain about that.<\/p>\n

In all reality, many big league pitchers take the mound with this mentality. Once the first hit is given up, they move on and pitch a bit more carefree. The thought of turning in a no-hitter \u2014 or even a perfect game \u2014 is a driving force for many hurlers in each start, though.<\/p>\n

\n

Garrett Crochet\u00a0unquestionably features the potential to completely silence an opposing lineup in any given outing. There is a reason why the\u00a0Red Sox signed Crochet to a $170 million contract extension. Boston does not care if he throws no-hitters, though. The Red Sox will be content with quality starts on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n

And heck, if he wants to mix in some shutouts, complete games and no-hitters, the team certainly won’t mind.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox are in Chicago playing the left-hander’s former team, the White Sox. One has to imagine that Crochet would love to see his current team take care of business against his former ball club.<\/p>\n

Crochet is not pitching on Saturday, but he will draw the start on Sunday against the White Sox.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
