that wild throw on the first pitch to Dom was identified as a “Screw” on NESN. apparently this pitcher has thrown at least 3 screwballs. Make that 4. And not a single one looked like a screwball to me. Now Honeywell in LA the other night, he threw screwballs with visible pronation. These from Davis looked either wild, or like changeups.

105 pitches in 7 shoutout innings. Utterly heroic job by the Coopster. Truly inspiring.

Is there any chance Criswell comes back out for the 8th? It's so much to ask, but this bullpen might be even more dead than him right now.

What a great start from Criswell. Unironically one of the best offseason signings in a very long time.
1 million dollars

Criswell has massive massive balls, putting this team on his back

But why wouldn’t they just call it a screwball versus the abbreviation? this Hendersonville tomato guy has no idea! I feel like you are short-selling yourself sir.

That was a clutch staff saving effort by Criswell. Hope Topps Now puts out a baseball card of him tomorrow. If they do it would be his first Red Sox baseball card. He's earned it.

Man, Coop put the team on his back. This is a top 5 start of the year for a Sox SP this season, hands down.

Bernardino should be fully rested (i know he's sucked for a month). and Booser and Anderson should atleast be avaliable... we just need them to mess things up

Good opportunity to get some pen arms back on track. Bernie time?

Good opportunity to get some pen arms back on track. Bernie time? yep, he's also the only guy who is legitimately rested. anderson's pitched two days in a row even if he barely pitched yesterday, and booser pitched yesterday, and the other four are all unlikely to pitch by my estimate (and ofc kenley is definitely not going to pitch)

Another pitcher is still warranted, but I think they’ve really found something with Criswell. Guy isn’t flashy, probably doesn’t get enough swing and miss to be in a playoff rotation, but he’s seemed in very solid and in control in most of starts. Having guys like him stepping up when they get the call is the real key to good starting pitching depth.

Bernie has had a nightmare July - it's important for him to get through this.

Criswell’s performance is just what the doctor ordered. Baltimore, MFY, Twins, and KC all lost tonight!

just what we needed today, and bernie threw a good inning too! his season high is 34 pitches so i'd keep him in for the 9th and with that you'll have everybody but jansen and bernardino avaliable tomorrow.

Oh no - that word - "Weissert". 6 runs should be enough...but...

This is a much more crisp Weissert. Cooper inspired the pen arms.
