Southern Maryland Blue Crabs CRABS FACTS Southern Maryland Blue Crabs GAME NOTES Southern maryland’s hometown team Regency Furniture Stadium * 11765 St. Linus Drive * Waldorf MD 20602 * 301-638-9788 Media Contact: Andrew Bandstra Facebook, youtube, Instagram: @SOMDBLUECRABS Twitter, tiktok: @BLUECRABS West Virginia (10-7, 32-42) @ Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (8-7, 39-36) Game #16/76 Tuesday, August 24th, 2021 *Regency Furniture Stadium* 6:35 PM RHP David Kubiak (1-1, 4.24 ERA) @ RHP Blake Bivens (2-2, 6.44 ERA) SECOND HALF: After finishing the first half in second place, 5.5 games back of the Long Island Ducks with a 31-29 Record, Southern Maryland storms into the second half. The Blue Crabs began the second half 2-1 before dropping four CRABS FACTS Straight. Now, having won six straight, the Blue Crabs look to continue their hot streak in their longest homestand of the 2nd Half in North Division: T-1st 2021 season. Despite have two postponements already in the homestand, it’s still the longest homestand of the year Overall: 39-36 (11 games). After having their six game win streak (tied for longest of season) snapped in a 19-5 loss to Long Island and then 1st Half: 31-29 dropping another, SOMD stomped Long Island in a series finale, winning 13-2 thanks to David Harris’s career day. The 2nd Half: 8-7 cleanup man did just that, crushing three homers and seven RBI, both of which tie SOMD franchise records. Now, facing GA/GB 0.0 GB the West Virginia Power who like the Blue Crabs have come out of the gates hot in the second half but also need to keep Home: 19-15 winning for a playoff bid. This is the last matchup between West Virginia and Southern Maryland on the season, in WV’s Road: 20-21 first season in the Atlantic League. Day: 7-7 Night: 32-29 COMING HOME: After a year off in 2020, the Blue Crabs return to baseball was spent primarily on the road. The Blue Current Streak: W1 Crabs play just 25 of their 60 first half games at home, but will play 35 of their 60 second half games at home. This will be Last 5 Games: 3-2 Headlined by a season high 12 game homestand running from August 13th through August 26th. Last 10 Games: 6-4 Series Openers: 18-7 ALPB/MLB RULE CHANGES: Double Hook Rule: This “Double-Hook” rule would be a compromise, of sorts. It Series Finales: 11-13 utiliZes the DH spot that has been in effect in the American League since 1973. But once a team’s starting pitcher is replaced, Sweeps/Swept: 3/1 the pitching spot takes over the DH spot in the batting order. So from that point on, the team would be required to either 1st Half Series Won/Lost/Tie. 8/9/2 nd use a pinch-hitter in that spot or let the relief pitcher bat. The impetus behind this idea is to incentiviZe teams to push their 2 Half Series Won/Lost/Tie. 2/3/1 starters deeper into games. Nearly 90% of pitching starts in the 2020 MLB season lasted less than seven innings. The Score First: 27-13 increasingly early use of relievers -- including the use of the “opener” strategy – diminishes the role of the starter. Yet there Score more than 3: 34-11 is widespread agreement that having identifiable starters -- workhorses around whom fans schedule their viewership or Score 3 or fewer: 5-25 attendance -- is good for the sport Plus, lovers of the NL rules would still get the best of both worlds. BC hit 1+ home run: 28-19 MOVING THE PITCHING RUBBER (SECOND HALF ONLY) Baseball’s dedicated distance from the rubber to the rear of home One Run Games: 9-9 plate has been 60 feet, 6 inches since 1893. So the new Atlantic League distance of 61 feet, 6 inches will be considered by Two Run Games: 3-5 some to be an audacious expansion -- one small step for pitchers, one giant leap for baseball itself. But several factors Out-Hit Opp: 28-11 contribute to the idea of adjusting that seemingly sacred space between pitcher and batter. First and foremost, Major No Errors: 12-12 League strikeout rates have risen every season since 2005 (the league-wide K rate was 16.4% in ’05 and was 24.9% through Extra Innings: 1-2 Monday’s play). Having roughly one-quarter of all plate appearances end in a strikeout is generally agreed to be detrimental Extra Innings (Road): 0-2 to the game’s entertainment value. The strikeouts increase is in part due to a dramatic increase in velocity (the average Extra Innings (Home): 1-0 four-seam fastball speed thus far in 2021 is 93.6 mph, versus a 91.9 mph average in 2008). Additionally, research by The BLUE CRABS vs WV Ringer found that modern MLB pitchers, weighted by workload, are more than four inches taller, on average, than they Extra innings Total: 0-0 2021 Record: 4-3 were when the 60’6” distance was implemented in 1893. All of which is to say that professional baseball may have 2021 Home vs. WV: 2-1 arguably outgrown 60’6”. Moving the pitching rubber back a foot will provide batters with more time to react to pitches, 2021 @ WV: 2-2 potentially improving contact rates and thereby injecting more action into the game. MLB found that the reaction time on Current Streak: W1 a 93.3 mph fastball (the average four-seam velocity in 2020) thrown from 61’6” is equivalent to a 91.6 mph fastball (about the average fastball velo in 2011) thrown from 60’6”. MLB also determined that a 12-inch increase would be the minimum interval needed to evaluate a change in mound distance. While a larger increase in the distance was considered, the g oal is to make a change without disruption or added injury risk. late-inning managerial strategy they desire. So the “Double-Hook” takes the best of both leagues and blends it all together. ALEX THE GREAT: After beginning the 2021 season in a supplementary role, Alex Crosby has become a mainstay in a lethal Southern Maryland lineup. Once moving into the starting role, Crosby embarked on a 17 game hit streak from 6/15 through 7/2, the Longest by a Blue Crabs batter since 2013, and the third longest in the Atlantic League in 2021. Crosby proceeded to go on another double digit hit streak, 10, from 7/28 through 8/8. More recently, from 8/12-8/14 Crosby went on a three game home run streak, compiling 10 RBI in that span. TURNAROUND: After struggling to begin the 2021 season primarily in a relief role, 2014 Tampa Bay Rays fourth round draft pick, Blake Bivens has completely reinvented himself. The right-hander allowed 28 earned runs through his first 16.1 innings of the season, but has allowed just three earned runs over his last 26.1 innings. Patrick Baker has seen a massive turnaround as well since moving primarily into a middle relief role. The former Orioles prospect struggled to begin the season, posting a 14.14 ERA in the months of May and June combined and posting a 3.29 WHIP. Since July 1st, however, Baker has become a budding star in the Blue Crabs pitching staff. Since July 1st, in 11G, Baker’s statline is: --12 app, 1.74 ERA, 20.2 IP, 13H, 6R, 4ER, 16BB, 25K HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME: After beginning the second half of the season 2-5, Southern Maryland has turned it around to win six of their last eight second half games, and seven of their last nine overall. The two losses came in consecutive order to the Long Island Ducks on 8/20 and 8/21, but after winning the series finale and the ALPB North Second Half leading Lancaster Barnstormers being swept by the West Virginia Power, Southern Maryland is now tied for first place in the Atlantic League North Division in the Second Half. The Blue Crabs pitching has been fantastic all year, still ranking in the top three in ERA. It’s the hitting that has turned a corner of late. From the beginning of the season through 7/18, Southern Maryland held a team batting average of a league worst .255 (.010 behind 7th). But, since 7/19, Southern Maryland is hitting a league best .309 as a team (0.20 points better than 2nd place) with a league best .499 SLG. During Southern Maryland’s 7-2 stretch, they are hitting a league best .354 as a team (0.52 better than second place) with a league best 19 HR, a league best 74 runs scored (10 more than the next), a league best .607 SLG (.112 better than second) and a league best 1.035 OPS (.140 better than second). LAST GAME: (Waldorf, MD, August 22, 2021) After falling to the Long Island Ducks in the opening two games of the series, Southern Maryland looked to rebound, sending Daryl Thompson (W, 9-2) to the mound. Thompson shined this afternoon, but it was David Harris who stole the show in the Blue Crabs 13-2 win. After Vin MaZZaro (L, 1-5) pitched a scoreless first inning, the Blue Crabs struck first in the bottom of the second. David Harris led off the inning with a solo home run down the right field line, giving Southern Maryland a 1-0 lead.

    @UCMMULES • @Mules_Baseball • #teamUCM BASEBALL 1 Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments. In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. In the summer of 2013, the stadium received another upgrade with a new grass playing surface being installed. In the fall of 2015, a $1.1 million project to outfit the stadium with a sythentic turf playing surface was funded primarily by Crane. The project, which includes synthetic turf from AstroTurf, was completed prior to the Mules’ 2016 home-opener On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6.

I told him it was a ‘great honor just to be asked.’ I can’t wait to represent the country. It’s very cool.” The 28-year-old, right-handed relief pitcher will be the lone Padre on Team USA and one of three major league Padres playing in the WBC. Outfielder Chris Denorfia is scheduled to play for Italy and right-handed starter Edinson Volquez will be playing for The Dominican Republic. Gregerson said being selected for Team USA won’t change his preseason throwing program. “I’ll easy into it and maybe let it go a little bit more in my second or third spring training outing with the Padres before reporting to Team USA.” Gregerson was 2-0 with career-bests of nine saves and a 2.39 earned run average in 77 appearances with the Padres last season. He had 72 strikeouts while allowing only 57 hits in 71 2/3 innings.

  • Mules in the Pros
    Mules in the Pros Morgan Burkhart Boston - 2000-01 • Kansas City - 2003 Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, May 20, 2021 * The Boston Globe Five-run first inning helps Red Sox top Blue Jays, extend AL East lead Peter Abraham DUNEDIN, Fla. — The Red Sox learned to play the wind at a new course on Wednesday night. A day after they were shut out by the Toronto Blue Jays, many of the Sox hitters spent batting practice adjusting their swings trying to take advantage — or, in some cases, avoid — the gusty wind that blows from left to right at TD Ballpark. With Rogers Centre in Toronto unavailable because of coronavirus protocols, the Jays stayed at their spring training ballpark for the first two months of the season. As is typical of smaller parks on the Gulf Coast of Florida, the wind plays a major factor in the game. The first-place Sox made it work for them by scoring five runs on six hits in the first inning. That led to a 7-3 victory. Kiké Hernández led the game off with a low line-drive single to left field. Then Alex Verdugo launched a pitch that caught a gust and landed on the roof of the home clubhouse far beyond the fence in right. Then J.D. Martinez homered the same way. “It was a good approach,” Sox manager Alex Cora said. “Overall, offensively, it was a good night. “You don’t make excuses, right? You’ve got to play where they tell you to play.” The Sox finished with 13 hits, four of them home runs. Garrett Richards pitched into the seventh inning for the win before a crowd of 1,581 that included many Sox fans.
