Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, July 23, 2015 Braves.Com Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, July 23, 2015 Braves.com Teheran's K-heavy effort offset by rough frame By Carlos Collazo and John Donovan / MLB.com | July 22nd, 2015 ATLANTA -- The Dodgers concluded their three-game series against the Braves at Turner Field on Wednesday afternoon with a 3-1 victory behind the arm of Mike Bolsinger, who gave Los Angeles seven strong innings. Though Bolsinger didn't have the eye-catching numbers that opposing starter Julio Teheran put up, he held Atlanta batters to just one unearned run and three hits while retiring 14 consecutive batters from the third inning into the seventh. Los Angeles only managed to score during a three- run fifth inning, but it was more than enough to back Bolsinger's 98-pitch effort. "Good all day," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of his starter. "[He] wasn't walking anybody, [he was] throwing strikes and it seemed like he was able to kind of do what he wanted with the breaking ball. So good for us, we needed it today." Teheran had arguably his best start of the season for the Braves, showing improved fastball command in the early innings and tying his career high with 11 strikeouts, including four straight strikeouts to start the game. "He pitched well enough to win the game today," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It might have been his best outing he's had all year." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED The great Grandal: After missing two starts thanks to a foul tip off his face mask, Yasmani Grandal announced his return to the Dodgers' starting lineup by going 2-for-3 with a walk, including the leadoff double that sparked a three-run fifth inning. Grandal raised his average to .287 and his OPS to .930. A stuttering step: The Dodgers' three-run fifth began with a misplay by Atlanta right fielder Nick Markakis. Grandal led off the inning by lining a 1-0 pitch to right. Markakis, a two-time American League Gold Glove Award winner, initially took two steps in before quickly retreating, but the ball carried over his head for a double. After Carl Crawford's groundout pushed Grandal to third with one out, Alberto Callaspohit a sharp grounder past second baseman Jace Peterson to tie the score at 1.Jimmy Rollins followed with a run-scoring double and Joc Pederson added a run with a two-out single. Kendrick at the keystone: A day after the Dodgers' defense had a rough game, Howie Kendrick put on a leather show. He started the first by robbing Peterson of a single with a diving stop to his right, then helped end the inning by starting a 4-6-3 double play. His defensive display continued in the sixth inning, when he essentially retired the side in order after three straight ground balls came his way. "I thought Howie was incredible today," Mattingly said. "He made a bunch of good plays at second base. One time just getting the lead runner [at second base] in an area that a lot of guys won't make that throw, he's willing to do it. He had a couple of diving plays up the middle." QUOTABLE "I'm just having fun. I think I kind of lost that along the way back in July. I was thinking too much, and I think that's what hurts me the most is when I start thinking too much. And now I'm just kind of back to smiling, just having fun." -- Bolsinger "It has been a different year. I'm just trying to work it out and control what I can control." -- Teheran REPLAY REVIEW Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons snuck in behind Grandal at second base in the second inning and received a pickoff throw from Teheran. Grandal was initially called safe by second-base umpire John Hirschbeck, but Simmons immediately signaled the Atlanta dugout to challenge the play. After a quick 56-second review, the call was overturned and Grandal was called out to end the inning. WHAT'S NEXT Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for Los Angeles in the opener of a four-game series at Citi Field against the Mets on Thursday, with first pitch set for 4:10 p.m. PT. You have to go back 21 innings before you find the last time Kershaw has allowed a run, and the three-time National League Cy Young Award winner has posted a 0.58 ERA over his past four starts. Braves: Atlanta hits the road for a 10-game swing that begins Friday in St. Louis at 8:15 p.m. ET, with rookie left-hander Manny Banuelos (1-1, 1.08 ERA) matching up against another rookie lefty, the Cardinals' Tim Cooney (0-0, 3.33 ERA). It's the first meeting of the season between the two teams. The Braves will also play the Orioles and Phillies in the swing before they return home Aug. 3 against the Giants. 'Best outing' not enough in Teheran's 11-K start Strikeout mark ties righty's career high as Braves fall to Dodgers By John Donovan / Special to MLB.com | July 22nd, 2015 ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran had one of those games on Wednesday afternoon that we've come to expect from the Braves' Opening Day starter. Teheran pitched well. He struck out more than a few batters, matching a career high with 11. He got into a little bit of trouble, but he mostly got out of what he got into. And the Braves, in the end, had nothing to show for it but a 3-1 loss to the Dodgers. "He pitched well enough to win the game today," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said after the Dodgers avoided a sweep despite seven stellar innings from Teheran. "It might have been his best outing he's had all year. "That's baseball. It's a cruel, cruel game that we play." Teheran dropped to 6-5 on the season, giving up all three Los Angeles runs on six hits. It was the fourth time in his career that he has notched 11 K's in a game. Teheran is 2-2 in those games, including losses in his past two. Last season, on July 21, he dropped a 3-1 decision to the Marlins after striking out 11 in seven innings. On a steamy Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta, Teheran looked ready from the start -- maybe even earlier. "He warmed up pretty well … not that that really matters," Atlanta catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. Teheran struck out the side swinging in the first inning and then got Andre Ethier swinging to start the second. Teheran cruised through the first four innings, giving up only a hard-hit single that handcuffed Atlanta first baseman Kelly Johnson in the second inning. In the fifth, though, he ran into the hard luck that sometimes seems to follow him. The first batter, catcher Yasmani Grandal, crushed a 1-0 pitch directly at Nick Markakis in right field. The two-time American League Gold Glove Award winner took a couple quick steps in, but the ball whizzed over his head for a double. A batter later, Alberto Callaspo punched a grounder past a drawn in infield to tie the score at 1. The Dodgers scored two more that inning, on a double from Jimmy Rollins and a two-out single from Joc Pederson. The Braves, meanwhile, managed only three hits -- all singles -- and went 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position. "Sometimes I pitch well and it doesn't work out," said Teheran, who lost his first game at Turner Field since Sept. 19 of last season. "I'm just trying to keep at it and concentrate, and trying to give a chance to my team to come back." Teheran's ERA actually dropped a couple pegs, from 4.53 to 4.49, after Wednesday's effort, but the loss ended a personal six-game win streak in Atlanta's friendly confines. Now, he and the Braves head out on the road for a 10-game trip that starts Friday in St. Louis. "It has been a different year. I'm just trying to work it out and control what I can control," Teheran said. "It has been a really hard year, but I'm trying to battle." Rookie lefties open Braves-Cardinals series By John Donovan / Special to MLB.com | July 22nd, 2015 Atlanta's Manny Banuelos and St. Louis' Tim Cooney square off Friday in a showdown between rookie left-handers as the Braves and Cardinals begin a three-game series at Busch Stadium. It's the first game of a 10-game road trip for the Braves that will take them through St. Louis, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The Cardinals, after a scheduled makeup Thursday in St. Louis against Kansas City, have 10 more at home starting with the series against Atlanta. Three things to know about this game • Banuelos (1-1, 1.08 ERA) has a fastball that tops out around 90 mph, but it's his changeup that has been effective in his three big league starts. It comes in just a little above 80 mph and, mixed in with an occasional curve, it has kept opponents off stride. Banuelos has had some problems with command, but he hasn't allowed more than one earned run in any of his starts. • Cooney (0-0, 3.33 ERA) has averaged nearly a strikeout an inning in his five Major League starts, relying on a fastball that averages just under 90 mph, a change, a curve and a slider.

  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
