Things will no doubt change as we've only played a little over 10% of the season....but right now there are 5 teams with worse records than the Athletics.
Among the have-nots are the 4 win Marlins and Rockies (I guess you'd have to say after last year, the Marlins ought to be better than that); and the 3 win White Sox (nothing worse than a bad team pissing and moaning about a 30 year old stadium that's already been renovated extensively once).

Declan gave up 1 hit and 1 walk in one inning facing 5 batters. His ERA is now 2.16. He struck out d’Arnaud, Duvall and Acuna Jr. d’Arnaud had hit 5 home runs in his previous 8 at bats, including a 3 run homer tonight.

Declan threw one scoreless inning last night. 2 hits,1 walk, 1K 16 pitches, 11 strikes That means that since 4 of those balls were to one batter, he threw only 1 other ball to the other batters he faced Pretty good, especially for a reliever. ERA- 1.93

Yankees always need pitchers. Maybe, the Yankees could buy Cronin's contract from the financially shaky Marlins. HC's Cronin on the mound with HC's Matt Blake his pitching coach. HC bails out the Yankees. HC provided "Jumpin' Joe" Dugan, 3rd Baseman on the famous 1927 "Murderers Row" Yankees team. Would someone please place a call to Yankees GM Brian the Cashman or owner Hal?

I tried. Turns out the Cash Man doesn't accept collect calls. Hal's father George was the roommate or at least a classmate of former Boston Mayor Kevin White at Williams College. Mayor White, needing to get re-elected by Boston voters, never made a big deal about it when George visited Fenway with the Bronx Bombers and reporters would bring it up.

Two scoreless innings tonight gives DC a sub 2.00 ERA (best on the team for those who have pitched more than ten innings).

Marlins are trading 2b Luis Arraez to the Padres in exchange to a good reliever to bolster their bullpen - if Declan continues to pitch well he should be fine as part of an improved group

Looks like the Marlins semi-annual firesale has begun early this year....maybe Declan can be part of it...

Another scoreless inning last night against the Dodgers.
DC is turning himself into an attractive candidate in the midst of Miami’s firesale.

After walking nine batters in his first eleven innings, Cronin hasn't issued a free pass in his last six innings (four games). Encouraging.

It'll still go in the books as a BB, of course, but two of those nine walks were of the IBB variety in extras. Still, seven walks in 11 innings is too many. His WHIP is now down to a more respectable 1.35.

Mason Black, Lehigh grad and PL Pitcher of the Year in ‘21 became the 2nd PL grad to pitch in the majors this season last night when he started for the SF Giants vs. Phillies Was dealing through four innings and then a three-run bomb in the fifth ruined what was looking to be a quality start.

That would be nice to see him with a playoff contender.
