FRENCHY NABS ANOTHER ONE--As runners continue to try, Jeff Francoeur continues to throw and last night he recorded his ninth outfield assist of the 2012 season by nabbing Michael Saunders at third base after a single to right field...Frenchy is second in the American League in outfield assists, two behind leader Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays...since becoming a full-time outfielder in the big leagues in 2005, Francoeur has recorded 106 assists, which are 29 more than his nearest competition in that span, Chicago’s Alfonso Soriano (77)...Frenchy’s next outfield assist will give him eight straight seasons of double-digit assists. GORDO STRONG IN TOP SPOT--It started harmlessly enough with a 1-for-4 game on May 27, the day that manager Ned Yost decided to insert Alex Gordon into the leadoff spot in the lineup on a consistent basis...since that afternoon in Baltimore, Gordon has batted at a .345 clip (60-for-174) in 43 games with 29 runs, 18 doubles, a .425 on-base pct. and .914 OPS, while hitting safely in 35 of those affairs...overall, his .301 average from the #1 spot is the fifth best among American League leadoff men, while Gordo’s .391 on-base pct. in that role is third behind only Detroit’s Austin Jackson (.406) and the Angels’ Mike Trout (.403)...since being inserted in the #1 spot dating back to last season, Gordon has hit .304 in 144 games from the leadoff position with a .386 on-base pct...he added 3 more hits to his resume last night, including his 29th double of the year, tying him for first in the A.L. with Cleveland’s Shin-Soo Choo, second only in the Majors to Cincinnati’s Joey Votto (36), who just went on the D.L. with torn knee cartilage. ESCOBAR AMONG SHORTSTOP ELITE--The 2012 All-Star Game has come and gone, but despite not making the Midsummer Classic shortstop Alcides Escobar continues to show why he belongs in the conversation when it comes to being among the top at his position...the 25-year old currently leads all big league shortstops with a .311 average, good for 10th overall in the A.L., while ranking second at his position in the Majors in on-base pct. (.354), tied for third in doubles (21) and fourth in slugging pct. (.434)...he is hitting .362 (42-for-116) over his last 31 games...his “worst” month to date was a .295 April, but he’s since batted .310 in May, .333 in June and has a .300 average to this point in July...in the 184 games since bottoming out at .203 on June 6 of last year, Esky has batted .298 (195-for-654), which is the second best batting average among all big league everyday shortstops (minimum 162 games), trailing only Derek Jeter (.314).

    CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS MARCH 1,, 2014 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY: MARCH 1, 2007 – THE FATHER AND SON DUO, MARTY AND THOM BRENNAMAN, CALLED THEIR FIRST REDS GAME AS BROADCAST PARTNERS ON 700 WLW. THE TWO WORKED TOGETHER ONCE BEFORE ON A CUBS-REDS GAME IN THE EARLY 1990S FOR THE BASEBALL NETWORK. THEY BECAME THE FOURTH FATHER SON BROADCAST TEAM IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL (JOE AND JOHN BUCK, HARRY, SKIP AND CHIP CARAY AND HARRY AND TODD KALAS). CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.

  • Pronk's Homer Punctuates Sweep of Royals by Robert Falkoff / Special
    Pronk's homer punctuates sweep of Royals By Robert Falkoff / Special to MLB.com | 4/15/2012 8:20 PM ET KANSAS CITY -- The Indians made a statement with their offense over the weekend and Travis Hafner delivered the symbolic exclamation point. In Cleveland's 13-7 victory over the Royals on Sunday, Hafner launched the most majestic of his team's four homers. Hafner's 456-foot blast to right field in the fifth inning off Luis Mendoza traveled so far that it wound up as a souvenir inside Rivals Sports Bar, which is located high above the wall. No word on whether it came down in somebody's order of chicken wings. It was the first homer to land in the Rivals establishment since Kauffman Stadium was renovated in 2009. In short, Hafner got all of it and then some. "I was able to stay back on an off-speed pitch and backspin it," said Hafner, who finished 3-for-4. "I think there have been some [homers] before that measured in the 470s, but that's about as good as I can hit 'em." Shelley Duncan, Casey Kotchman and Jason Kipnis joined Hafner in the home run parade, as the Indians put up runs in bunches and applied the finishing touches on a three-game sweep. Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez, making his return from a five-game suspension, labored through five innings, but got the win thanks to robust offensive support. "The first three innings, it was hard to get in a good rhythm," said Jimenez, who refused to use rustiness as an excuse.

  • LINE DRIVES the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No
    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.
