DC in line for his first big league win tonight. 1 and 1/3 innings of hitless relief. First MLB W and first MLB win by a Crusader since Mike Pazik in 1977.

DC in line for his first big league win tonight. 1 and 1/3 innings of hitless relief. First MLB W and first MLB win by a Crusader since Mike Pazik in 1977. Pazik had a grand total of 1 win (and 20 career MLB strikeouts) in his pro career. Another win by Cronin (35 career MLB strikeouts now, FWIW) and we’ll be researching how that stacks up v other pro baseball Crusaders.

Another win by Cronin (35 career MLB strikeouts now, FWIW) and we’ll be researching how that stacks up v other pro baseball Crusaders. Next up: Bill Spanswick who had 2 Ws for the Red Sox in 1964 and George “Pinky” Woods who had 13 Ws for the Red Sox in the WW II era. I’d never heard of Pinky but there is an interesting bio of him connected to his “page” at baseball-reference.com. After WW II, he was released by the Red Sox and pitched for a number of years in the Pacific Coast League for LA, Hollywood and San Diego and appeared as an extra in a number of movies with baseball scenes.

I looked up Bill Spanswick and it appears he attended Holy Cross for one (1) year, was drafted by the Red Sox, and departed. Technically, he was a Holy Cross player in the pros. George "Pinky" Woods left Holy Cross after three years. Kind of interesting to read about these two guys.

Thanks. Nice it's broken down by position. And one year of HC attendance qualifies as alum on this list. Not too many HC pitchers with significant time in ML...and those were about 100 years ago.

Owen “Ownie” Carroll was one of the most celebrated college pitchers of his time. He was not as successful in his MLB career but he did play for years

The website is fishonfirst.com because they so rarely get to second. Declan is playing for the team with the second worst record in all of baseball. They also have the second fewest number of runs scored. Of course they are still a lot better than his last team, the White Sox.

And probably the second or lowest attendance. For many years. Florida does not support MLB even when there is a team as consistently as good as the Rays have been.

Another appearance without allowing an earned run last night. Six in a row and 12 out of 13.

With an ERA at 1.27 it is a bit baffling that his use continues to be mostly in low leverage situations. Last night he entered the game after the starter gave up 9 runs by the 5th inning.

With an ERA at 1.27 it is a bit baffling that his use continues to be mostly in low leverage situations. Last night he entered the game after the starter gave up 9 runs by the 5th inning. With a 21-40 record and having a run differential of -86, not many higher leverage situations to be had. Recently, he has been used in tighter spots, though. He has also thrown the most innings for a reliever, and that's with spending a couple of weeks with AAA in April.

Another 1.1 innings tonite of shutout ball. ERA down to 1.21. Has only given up 6 runs (4 earned runs) in 21 games.
Skip Schumaker re: Cronin: “I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t know what Cronin was and now I can use him in all kinds of different ways. The ball’s on the ground constantly. He has strikeout stuff, right, left, so I feel good about him where I didn’t really know what he was coming into spring training. And now he’s one of the most trusted guys out there which is pretty awesome.”

He has pitched four times in the last six days. Four and a third innings, 17 batters faced, no earned runs, 2 inheirited runners scored, 2 hits, 1 BB, 3 K's, 52 pitches, 31 for strikes, 8 ground balls.
Eleven of seventeen batters faced struck out or grounded out in these four outings.
He's been a reliable reliever this year.

Declan and the Marlins are in NY to face the Mets in a 3 game series starting tonight. For sure his family from NJ will be in the stands
