Heroes and Rallies Baseball
Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart. -

The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, March 25, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox minor leaguer tests positive for coronavirus Julian McWilliams The Red Sox announced Tuesday night that a minor leaguer had tested positive for COVID-19. The player’s positive test occurred March 23 following his return home. The Sox said he was last at Fenway South March 15. The Red Sox kept the player’s name confidential and believe he contracted the virus after leaving spring training. As a precaution, the Red Sox decided to shut down all activity at Fenway South for at least two weeks. The facility will undergo a deep cleaning to disinfect the area. The Sox have instructed all players who came in close contact with the minor leaguer to self-quarantine for two weeks. Manager Ron Roenicke noted during a conference call last week that most of the major league players had returned home, but approximately eight to 15 players stayed back to work out. During that call, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said although a player hadn’t tested positive for the virus to that point, he knew it was a possibility. “That’s something we’re being very vigilant in monitoring,” Bloom said. “You look around and where this is going, obviously we know that it’s very, very possible that it’s going to happen at some point. We’re just trying to make sure everyone is educated and, again, stay in touch with everybody.” A new group is advocating for minor leaguers to be paid above the poverty line Michael Silverman A new group thinks minor league baseball players ought to earn a salary above the poverty line. -

The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, December 30, 2020 * The Boston Globe Jackie Bradley Jr. is taking a patient approach in free agency Julian McWilliams Sleep is at a minimum for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. these days. On Dec. 3, Bradley and his wife, Erin, received an early Christmas gift when they welcomed their second child, Jackie Bradley III, into the world. That has been Bradley’s main focus, even though he’s a free agent in a market that has been extremely slow to this point. “I’ve always been, you know, of the mind-set that everything will work out the way it should,” Bradley said. “It’s honestly been about being home with my family at the moment, especially with a newborn, so we’re kind of adjusting and adapting.” Bradley has taken a measured and patient approach to this free agency period. He also has kept a realistic one. Bradley knows the pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding 2021 could make this even more of a drawn-out process. “Writers, players, whoever it may be — owners — kind of knew it was going to be a slow offseason,” Bradley said. “I feel like everybody is kind of trying to get more information about what’s going to go on with the pandemic. Making sure that everybody’s protected in a certain way. So we ... forecast the flow, but it’ll pick up when it does.” In Bradley’s case, things might start to pick up when George Springer, the most coveted free agent outfielder, signs. But Bradley is garnering a decent amount of interest. -

Streaky Hitting in Baseball
Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 3 Streaky Hitting in Baseball Jim Albert∗ ∗Bowling Green State University, [email protected] Copyright c 2008 The Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. " Streaky Hitting in Baseball Jim Albert Abstract The streaky hitting patterns of all regular baseball players during the 2005 season are ex- plored. Patterns of hits/outs, home runs and strikeouts are considered using different measures of streakiness. An adjustment method is proposed that helps in understanding the size of a streak- iness measure given the player’s ability and number of hitting opportunities. An exchangeable model is used to estimate the hitting abilities of all players and this model is used to understand the pattern of streakiness of all players in the 2005 season. This exchangeable model that assumes that all players are consistent with constant probabilities of success appears to explain much of the observed streaky behavior. But there are some players that appear to exhibit more streakiness than one would predict from the model. KEYWORDS: batting logs, consistent hitting, exchangeable model, Bayes factor Albert: Streaky Hitting in Baseball 1 Introduction Consider the batting logs for all players in the 2005 baseball season. We focus on the “regular” players who had at least 300 plate appearances during this season; this will exclude pitchers and part-time players who may have different batting tendencies from the regular players. By using different def- initions of “batting success”, we will focus on sequences of three types of hitting data. • Hitting data. Here we focus only a player’s official at-bats (excluding walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifice flies), and define a “success”, coded by 1, if the player gets a hit, and 0 otherwise. -
Statistical Oddities in Baseball History Fred Worth, Professor Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Box 7783, Henderson State University [email protected]
Statistical Oddities in Baseball History Fred Worth, Professor Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Box 7783, Henderson State University [email protected] Abstract When I was in first grade, I came home one day and explained to my mother how frustrated I was. They had not yet taught us how to do long division. That really bothered me because I wanted to be able to calculate batting averages for baseball players. So my mother taught me long division. Baseball is the ideal sport for people like me since statistics are far more a part of baseball than they are in any other sport. This paper is simply a list of some of the baseball statistical oddities I have found amusing over the years. Players with at least 40 Home Runs but fewer than 100 Runs Batted In Player Year Team HR RBI Duke Snider 1957 Dodgers 40 92 Mickey Mantle 1958 Yankees 42 97 Mickey Mantle 1960 Yankees 40 94 Harmon Killebrew 1963 Twins 45 96 Hank Aaron 1969 Braves 44 97 Rico Petrocelli 1969 Red Sox 40 97 Hank Aaron 1973 Braves 40 96 Davey Johnson 1973 Braves 43 99 Darrell Evans 1985 Tigers 40 94 Matt Williams 1994 Giants 43 96 Ken Griffey Jr. 1994 Mariners 40 90 Barry Bonds 2003 Giants 45 90 Alfonso Soriano 2006 Nationals 46 95 Adrian Gonzalez 2009 Padres 40 99 Adam Dunn 2006 Reds 40 92 Adam Dunn 2012 White Sox 41 96 Players with most Home Runs but 20 or fewer Runs Batted In Player Year RBI HR Team Randy Ruiz 2009 17 10 Blue Jays Wayne Gross 1985 18 11 Orioles David Ross 2003 18 10 Dodgers Todd Greene 2002 19 10 Rangers Russell Branyan 2008 20 12 Brewers Todd Greene -
And the Boston Red
After 86 years of failure and misery, could the Red Sox now make it back-to-back? 2. Boston Red Sox: “And the Boston Red Sox are 2004 World Champions.” Who in their wildest dreams would’ve thought it could happen? After 86 years of ultimate futility, this franchise finally, and I mean finally, reached the ultimate pinnacle of the sport. By overcoming an 0-3 deficit to the NY Yankees in the ALCS, Boston showed something that had been missing for all those years - resiliency. RH Curt Schilling showed his relentlessness and courage in the sixth game of the American League Championship Series; pitching with a blood soaked sock to force a game seven. Schill’s first year impact as the new ace of the Bo-Sox rotation allowed Boston to part ways with Pedro Martinez, a stable of this franchise for the last six or seven seasons. My biggest question is how healthy can Schilling be in 2005? And are Matt Clement, Wade Miller (won’t pitch until likely May) and David Wells three good enough starters to get it done without him? Bronson Arroyo and Tim Wakefield must do it again; pitch in any type of scenario when called upon, whether it be regular season or postseason. Manager Terry Francona certainly hopes that the guy who won a Major League best 21 regular season games in 2004 can be able to give them just as much this coming season. Boston’s lineup proved just how dangerous they are in the postseason. David Ortiz is as clutch as they come, delivering on the big stage in less than 24 hours twice vs. -
