If you were a part of the majority of Boston sports fans tuned into the Bruins tonight, don’t worry, you didn’t miss a ton. Cooper Criswell turned in a five-inning shutout performance, the offense scored a few early runs, and the bullpen held onto the lead. I could leave it at that, but that’s not the level of effort that gets me the big (read: modest) bucks.
What stood out to me tonight was the offensive approach. While Logan Webb doesn’t have overpowering stuff, he’s still a very uncomfortable at-bat for most hitters. He pounds the strike zone, keeps the ball down, and makes you get yourself out.
