Baseball Prospectus

One team is going to taste victory for the first time. The other will have felt defeat before.

A meteoric rise ... to the No. 2 spot.

Traducido por Miguel Boada Nájera Mientras las celebraciones habituales previas al Juego 6 de la Serie de Campeonato llegaban a su final, las cámaras proyectaban nubes de luz azul sobre la lona blanca de la cúpula del Tropicana Field. Para los que no pasan mucho tiempo en el estadio mirando hacia arriba, la imagen mostraba un contraste brutal con lo ocurrido apenas dos años antes, cuando el Huracán Milton hizo pedazos el techo y el cielo azul podía verse entre la estructura desgarrada.

In 1989, the college rock band Too Much Joy released a cautionary song called “Bums.” “Making fun of bums,” they sang, “bad karma thing to do.” If this is correct then it also almost certainly applies to rooting for someone to lose their job and thereby possibly join the ranks of the downwardly mobile. This poses a bit of a trap, because no doubt there are karmic exceptions for those who use their jobs to harm others, but the whole problem with Yankees manager Aaron Boone is that he’s harmless.

December 9, 2015: Seattle Mariners trade RHP Freddy Peralta, RHP Daniel Missaki, and RHP Carlos Herrera to Milwaukee Brewers for 1B Adam Lind. This was a nothing trade at the time it happened. Lind was a platoon first baseman with one year making low-end regular money left coming off a string of seasons where his OPS was in the low-to-mid-.800s in semi-sheltered playing time. In other words, quite a useful player, but not a particularly valuable trade asset; guys like this get traded all the time.

This article contains my ballot for the Fielding Bible Awards, as revealed today at Sports Info Solutions. But first, if you’ll forgive, a lengthy aside. For as long as baseball has had defensive metrics, they’ve been maligned. You can see in the earliest box scores how Alexander Cartwright grappled with how to assign the proper amount of virtue and sin into fielding; totals for put-outs, assists, and errors crowded the column space.

In Episode 590, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about pitchers who made at least 29 starts and then discuss five mostly baseball topics. 1. The Frauds are Dead, Long Live the Frauds: Rays up, Craig. 2. The Sickos World Series Preview: Rays/Brewers is just fancy Rays/Guardians when you think about it. Also, is the key to this series Nick Martinez? 3. Staffing Up: Front office, managerial, field staff news 4. Around the Horn: Gold Gloves and an NPB posting. 5.

The Milwaukee Brewers have a difficult decision on their hands. Brandon Woodruff, one of the team’s best starters and past postseason heroes, hasn’t pitched in a game since the Fourth of July, an outing that saw him pulled with two outs in the fourth, unable to throw a fastball. The report afterwards was the dreaded shoulder discomfort, and after a couple of weeks and a couple of inspections, he submitted himself to season-ending right shoulder capsule surgery. Except that it wasn’t, somehow.

Traducido porPepe Latorre A principios de año fui al Nuevo Yankee Stadium para ver cómo los Bombarderos le daban una paliza a los Kansas City Royals. El marcador reflejaba una ventaja abultada, las gradas estaban a reventar y el ambiente recordaba, y mucho, a los Yankees de antaño. La victoria era esperada, merecida e incluso evidente. Los Royals contaban con una estrella, los Yankees, en cambio, tenían lo que parecían ser media docena.

On May 18, the Mets and Nationals were tied after nine innings in Washington, 5-5. Neither team scored in the tenth and both scored a run in the 11th. The Mets exploded for 10 runs in the top of the twelfth, and the Nationals came up with only one in the home half of the inning. The Mets won, 16-7. On August 5, the Nationals and Phillies were tied 3-3 at Citizens Bank Park after nine innings. Each team’s zombie runner scored in the tenth inning. In the top of the eleventh, Washington scored six runs.
