Rotation Stats (as of 8/21)Houck - 152.2 innings, 3.01 ERA Crawford - 143.1 innings, 4.21 ERA Pivetta - 105.1 innings, 4.70 ERA Bello - 123.2 innings, 4.80 ERA Might legit be the complete opposite order of starter ERA than expected back in February! For as much as Houck and Crawford have regressed over the middle of the year (although they have been alot better the last few times out), if you told me before the year that the above was going to be their whole season stat-line for 2024 for those two guys, I think I'd have been pretty happy. And they still have over a month to go also likely the direct inverse of expected innings as well.

Cooper Criswell threw a 7 inning shutout gem in Coors Field on 7/23. The Red Sox were 54-46. Since then:
-Criswell was moved to the bullpen initially to accommodate the James Paxton trade (before Paxton’s calf exploded) -Criswell pitches in garbage time vs NYY, SEA, TEX, and KC over the next few weeks -He gets COVID, and then returns in a shaky bulk appearance in Baltimore -Criswell throws 4.2 effective innings in Houston - and is only removed because they don’t want him facing Alex Bregman a third time
Criswell has statistically been the third best starter on the team. But the team has seemed very inclined to hide or limit him (maybe to his benefit, who knows.) I do wonder if maybe the team that signed Cooper Criswell is itself underrating their own guy because he has a mustache, sprints to the mound each half-inning, can’t hit more than 90 mph on the radar gun, and throws funny
