Cincinnati Reds' Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 1, 2015 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1967-Joe Nuxhall retires at 37-years-old and takes a position as a Reds radio broadcaster. Nuxhall will call games for the Reds until 2004 when he becomes a part-time broadcaster. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Reds' Marlon Byrd fitting in both on and off the field By C. Trent Rosecrans / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] / @ctrent GOODYEAR, Ariz. — It's pretty simple, Marlon Byrd says of fitting in: just don't be a jerk. Well, he didn't use the exact term "jerk," but the point was clear. "As long as I stay away from being 'that guy', I was going to fit in," Byrd said laughing on Tuesday, with just two days left in Arizona before the Reds go to Montreal – and then to Cincinnati for the start of the 2015 season. The 37-year-old Byrd is playing for his eighth different organization, so he's been the new kid in school before. "The first time is tough, you don't know what to say, you don't know what to do, but now you just come in and you look around and learn how things are and try to fit in," he said. "You don't try too much, try too hard." The Reds traded for Byrd in December, in hopes he'd fill a hole in left field but also be a clubhouse leader. And while you don't see pompoms in Byrd's locker, you will hear him talking to anyone and everyone who enters the team's clubhouse. "He's been terrific. I just think that's how he's wired," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "He wants to be with a winner, he wants to contribute to a winning team, and he's selfless to where he just wants to be a part of it. He doesn't need any special treatment to make him feel like he's part of a ball club. "He is the guy we used to always watch from the other side of the field, a guy you admire for his work ethic and how hard he plays the game, his understanding of situational baseball, his professionalism. He's fit in. He's exactly what we thought he was when we saw him as an opponent." Byrd's locker in Goodyear is next to Billy Hamilton's, and the Reds' young center fielder said he immediately felt comfortable with Byrd. "When he came over, it felt like he knew me right away," Hamilton said. "I was surprised myself, he's just one of those guys that gets along with everybody. He wants you to succeed, he wants you to be successful, he's going to do everything he can to help you out. He's just one of those guys you have to love as a teammate. He's going to give you his all every time, and he expects you to do the same." On the field, Byrd has had a good spring, hitting .349/.404/.442 entering Tuesday's game. He's had multiple hits in five of the 15 games he'd played in before Tuesday's game against the Brewers. Still, he's not exactly where he wants to be, he said, but that should come in the last week. "It's coming along, I still have some work to do, especially on my swings – off-speed pitches down, off-speed pitches down and away, I'm getting better at," Byrd said. "I still have to work on fastballs up – either taking them or getting my barrel to the ball. It's still a work in progress, a couple of more days, I'm shoring things up." And he's also adjusting to a new position in left. Byrd has played left before, appearing in 144 games over his career there, but he has been in right the last two seasons and primarily in center before that. Only in 2005 with the Nationals did Byrd play the majority of his games in left. "I know a lot of guys who are in right their entire career and they go to left, it's tough. But I've played that side of the field before," Byrd said. "Billy Butler hit a ball – we're playing the A's – and I pulled up on it. I got the jump I wanted to, but I didn't trust it. Then the next ball that was hit, that (Marcus) Semien hit, I went in and caught it. I'm still making adjustments, as far as getting the right jumps, balls down the line, I still need to make some throws during the games, knowing where (Zack) Cozart's going to be on cutoffs. There's more work to offensively and defensively." The work is one thing Byrd's not afraid of putting in, and there's a tell-tale sign that he's already worked plenty this season – he has tan lines around his eyes where his sunglasses are, showing just how much time he's spent in the Arizona sun. That he's put in the time on the field has helped his transition off of it. "Play the game, that's the easy part, being in here and comfortable and have everyone comfortable with you, that can be tough with certain guys," he said. "Here, as long as you're a good guy, these guys are accepting over here. We have a good group." Chapman leaves game for precautionary reasons By John Fay / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] / @Johnfayman MARYVALE, Ariz. — Reds closer Aroldis Chapman left Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers with a right hamstring issue. Chapman called out catcher Brayan Pena to talk after getting a groundout on Jean Segura in the fifth inning. Trainer Paul Lessard, manager Bryan Price and pitching coach Jeff Pico then came onto the field. Chapman threw a few warmup pitches, but after a long discussion, he was taken out of the game. Chapman appeared upset with decision. "There was a lot going on there," Price said. "The word 'hamstring' came up, (and) just with that history we were extra cautious. By the sounds of it, it may be a non-issue completely. It may be nothing more than a miscommunication. "I'm sure he was frustrated to have to come out. He wanted to stay in. But, at this point in time, this just no way to take a chance. I think when the smoke clears he'll be completely fine." Doc's TML: GABP nursery shows Reds put fans first again By Paul Daugherty / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] The Moanin' Man rolls outta the rack this AM, first thing I see is Matt Lauer talking about Great American Small Park on the Today show. Not about the Club or the All Star Game. About the nursery. Damned right. Today did a 30-second hit on the new nursery at GASP. That's what I said. Nursery. And it's not even for guys making eight figures who didn't get their latest shipment of Louisville Sluggers on time. It's for parents and their babes (little kids, I mean, cleanse your Mobster minds) who won't be deterred by the thought of changing diapers during a Joey TakeYourBase AB. This is one thing I like about The Club. It thinks about you. Yeah, I know: "If they think about us so damned much, Doc, they better re-up Cueto.'' I hear that. But more and more, MLB is less about the product and more about the Experience. If you're Hard Core Ball Man, that doesn't please you. But HCBM is a declining species. And besides, that brand of fan is highly engaged by winning, and quite possibly these Reds are at the edge of their current (fairly) winning ways. It's not hard to see lean years a-comin'. There are new bars this year, and a vending machine that dispenses your beer. Great idea! GASP has always been a fan-friendly place, especially if you like an adult soda. Fraternity Phil (Castellini) understands that for most younger adults, the ballpark is just one stop in a long weekend evening. He markets is as such. That's smart. So, there's the Bootlegger's Bar, the Handlebar, the Party Barn and the Brewery District. Go for the sodas, stay for the baseball! Take me out to the drinking game! Wiseguys might suggest that if this Club resembles last year's version, extra drinking stations will be needed. Did Phil have more men's rooms installed, too? Baseball is uniquely suited to fill this role. It happens 81 times. It doesn't require the total engagement of football or basketball. It isn't as expensive as either of those two sports. It's often played in very pleasant weather. So, why not start your Friday night of carousing and canoodling at the Small Park? Have a beer, meet up with friends, stay four or five innings, then hit a club. Am I right? Ideally, you're a huge fan and you stay all nine. Realistically, you're a casual fan, and you stay until you've had your fill. Of baseball. Or lager. Or both. That's also why baseball is the last, best radio game. I could never listen to the NF of L on the radio, if I knew the game was on TV. I prefer to listen to the Reds on the radio, when the game is on TV.

Introduction The Quality of Pitch (QOP) statistic uses PITCHf/x data to extract the trajectory, location, and speed from a single pitch and is mapped onto a -10 to 10 scale. A value of 5 or higher represents a quality MLB pitch. In March 2015 we presented an LA Dodgers case study at the SABR Analytics conference using QOP that included the following results1: 1. Clayton Kershaw’s no hitter on June 18, 2014 vs. Colorado had an objectively better pitching performance than Josh Beckett’s no hitter on May 25th vs. Philadelphia. 2. Josh Beckett’s 2014 injury followed a statistically significant decline in his QOP that was not accompanied by a significant decline in MPH. These, and the others made in the presentation, are big claims.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
