Why does the earthworm's gizzard and crop have a very different feel?

The earthworm's crop and gizzard feel different because they perform two different functions. The gizzard is hard to the touch because it is used to grind the soil the earthworm takes into its body. The crop is soft and more saclike because it stores food that the earthworm separates from the other things it takes in.
