Seems about the dumbest possible time in history to throw Cannon into a game.

We'll see how it works.   But guessing probably not very well.

His day to pitch so I guess they were pitching him no matter what

No one had any idea he'd last 100 innings. It sure didn't seem likely with his injury history and lack of SP innings. But he seems bigger and stronger and physically mature but it's a great development for now.

 But won't be so great watching him pitch for Dodgers, Braves, Yankees, etc.

From the Sox perspective, I guess, they just need to keep him healthy to maximize the trade return as much as possible, especially with Robert's value off quite a bit now.

hilarious as john says what good movement his "sweeper" has as it sits dead red middle of the plate and gets hammered.

It's going to REALLY suck if they manage to snatch Crochet's victory from him after how well he's pitched recently.

Just because it was Jonathan Cannon of all pitchers turn to throw today...so let's just throw him into what will quickly be a high lever situation (self-induced).

that's a nice pitch to end that AB, gotta give him dap there.

just bury one and he's gone.

phew, missed a cookie. Good job Cannon did just enough.

Cannon avoids being fodder !

We’re waiting…

Sweeper and FB look pretty nice if he can locate it. 2 pitch pitcher though. Reliever.

Who gives a s%*#. It's his day to pitch. We suck. Who cares about the record? 

oh come on john, julks was just another random guy they are cycling through. his little pixie dust aside.

Reading his scouting report apparently it's the exact opposite of what I said. Has a plethora of pitches which is his strength but idk last inning the only two good ones were the FB and Sweeper.

 

Edit: and showing more now.

woah, that was a nice pitch.

he has good stuff, tonight, John.

Great job Cannon. Gotta say that was impressive.

Cromulent job by Cannon for the 7th and 8th. Does he get the 9th ?

Cannon maybe has the best stuff in BP next to leasure and kopech (he sucks and doesn't know it)

Interrupting my Band of Brothers marathon to catch the end of this game.

Trade Sheets ASAP. This is the peak of his value, similar to Burger.

Can pen get 3 more outs? We shall see

I think Cannon must have the ninth, right? They called up a starter because they needed length.
