Olson and Murphy Tag-Team To Humiliate Garrett Crochet

Garrett Crochet had been riding high on his recent performances, but all it took was one brutal inning to turn him into the laughing stock of the night. Atlanta Braves duo Matt Olson and Sean Murphy teamed up to deliver back-to-back home run blows that sent a clear message—not in our house.

And to make it worse, Red Sox fans couldn’t help but feel the sting as they watched the fireworks unfold.

A Nightmare In The Making For Crochet

Crochet, who’s been heralded as one of the rising arms in the league, walked into the game looking confident. That didn’t last long. In a matter of minutes, Matt Olson crushed a no-doubt blast to right field, followed immediately by Sean Murphy taking Crochet deep again, leaving the young pitcher stunned on the mound.

What was once a showcase for Crochet’s electric fastball quickly turned into a viral moment for all the wrong reasons.

Braves Fans Roar, Red Sox Fans Groan

The Braves dugout exploded in celebration as the duo’s power display ignited the crowd. Meanwhile, Red Sox fans watching from home—and those who made the trip—could only bury their faces in their hands.

Social media lit up with ruthless memes, GIFs of Crochet’s reaction, and sarcastic comments like “Is this the same guy we were hyping up last week?” The Red Sox fanbase, still sore from recent bullpen meltdowns, couldn’t help but feel the night slipping into disaster territory.

Olson and Murphy Send A Message

The back-to-back bombs weren’t just home runs—they were statements. Olson and Murphy, both key power hitters for the Braves, reminded everyone that Atlanta’s lineup is as dangerous as ever.

Murphy later said with a grin, “When we’re clicking like that, pitchers better buckle up.”

Crochet Left Searching For Answers

After the damage was done, Crochet was pulled early, his ERA taking a nasty hit. Post-game, the young pitcher admitted, “I left some pitches where they shouldn’t be… guys like Olson and Murphy don’t miss those.”

Analysts pointed out that Crochet’s fastball command was off and that his breaking pitches were sitting too comfortably in the zone—an unforgivable mistake against the Braves’ sluggers.

Conclusion

In a game that Red Sox fans hoped would showcase their future ace, it was the Braves’ veteran power that stole the spotlight—and left Garrett Crochet red-faced.

As Olson and Murphy basked in the victory glow, Red Sox supporters could only shake their heads and wonder if nights like these are the new norm when facing Atlanta’s offensive juggernaut.
