Hurricane Earl postponed the Sox game between the White and the Red scheduled for Friday evening. Boston will hold a split admission double header on Saturday.
Both Aaron Gleeman and Rob Neyer wonder why the Twins didn’t call up minor league pitchers that could have worked in the extra inning game Thursday night. I think the answer is obvious, the Twins were trying to save money. Minor leaguers get paid major league minimum for each day with the parent club. The [...]
Mark Simon looks at fielder ratings based on Web Gem voting and good fielding play ratings by Baseball Info Solutions. There are only two positions at which baseball fans and the folks at Baseball Info Solutions agree: With Phillips at second base, and Carl Crawford in left field. Don’t take that as gospel that these [...]
Joe Posnanski writes about Michael Schur’s obsession with the end of Derek Jeter’s career: How will the Yankees handle this? How will Jeter handle this? Schur concedes that he thinks about little else. “It’s absolutely fascinating, isn’t it?” he asks. Michael has gotten so little joy and so much heartache in his life out of [...]
The Sox will win as John Danks and the White Sox visit Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox. There is also the possibility that hurricane Earl washes out the game. Danks is a reverse platoon left-hander this season, allowing a .202/.268/.317 slash line against right-handed batters, but a .295/.353/.400 slash line against lefties. Keep that [...]
I love this headline: Eric Chavez done for 2010 He hasn’t played since May 20th. He’s played 64 games over the last three seasons. His OBP is well below .300 in that time. He has not one, but two bulging disks! Eric was done a long time ago, but no one will admit it: Eric [...]
Shin-Soo Choo almost single handedly beat the Mariners Thursday night as he drove in five runs with a double and home run as the Indians take a 6-3 win in Seattle. On a night where five of the Cleveland starters owned OBPs under .300, Choo bring a .390 OBP and .469 slugging percentage to the [...]
Gerald Laird hit Detroit’s fifth home run of the game in the 13th inning, and Jose Valverde held the Twins scoreless in his second chance to protect a lead and Detroit takes the game 10-9 in 13 innings. Valverde came into the game in the 11th after the Tigers took a 9-8 lead in the [...]
The Evil Player program selected Joba Chamberlain as Friday’s evil player. What can you say about the dastardliness of a player named after a Star Wars villain? This year, Joba’s evil comes in drips and drabs however. His high strikeout rate is not reflected in a low batter average. He likes to make life tough [...]
The Tigers and the Twins go to extra innings tied at eight. Both teams collected 13 hits so far. All the Twins hits are singles, while the Tigers knocked out six extra-base hits, including four home runs. All four were solo shots, however. The Twins held a 7-3 lead at the end of seven innings, [...]
After blowing a big lead and falling behind the Phillies 12-7, the Rockies score three runs in the eighth and put the winning run on base in the ninth. They only score one run off Brad Lidge in the final frame as he records an edge of your seat save for the 12-11 Phillies victory. [...]
Jonathan Papelbon collected his 35th save of the season, helping the Red Sox to a 6-4 win over the Orioles. He didn’t make it easy as the Orioles had men on 2nd and 3rd with one out, but Jonathan struck out the last two batters to strand the runners. That save was a big milestone: [...]
