  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings May 5, 2018
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings May 5, 2018 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1996-Eric Davis ties a major league record by hitting a grand slam home run for the second game in a row MLB.COM Back-to-back HRs get Reds back in win column Romano, bullpen combine to hold Marlins to 1 run May 4th, 2018 By Jeff Wallner Special to MLB.com 12:15 AM ET CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds came into Friday's game ranked fourth in the National League in on-base percentage, but it had yet to translate into runs. The Reds also did well in that category last year. Interim manager Jim Riggleman said the difference this season has been a lack of home runs, so far. That changed in the first inning on Friday, when Eugenio Suarez and Adam Duvall hit back-to-back homers, and Sal Romano pitching 5 1/3 solid innings, to lift the Reds to a 4-1 victory over the Marlins at Great American Ball Park. "It was a really good start," said Suarez of the big first inning. "When you score those four runs in the first inning, everybody gets comfortable. When we put it all together -- defense, pitching and hitting -- we can win a lot of games." Marlins left-hander Wei-Yin Chen ran into trouble in the first by allowing a single and a walk to begin Friday's game. His 1-2 pitch to Suarez, an 82-mph slider, landed in the upper deck in left field, putting the Reds ahead, 3-0.

  • Improving the FIP Model
    Project Number: MQP-SDO-204 Improving the FIP Model A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to The Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Joseph Flanagan April 2014 Approved: Professor Sarah Olson Abstract The goal of this project is to improve the Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) model for evaluating Major League Baseball starting pitchers. FIP attempts to separate a pitcher's controllable performance from random variation and the performance of his defense. Data from the 2002-2013 seasons will be analyzed and the results will be incorporated into a new metric. The new proposed model will be called jFIP. jFIP adds popups and hit by pitch to the fielding independent stats and also includes adjustments for a pitcher's defense and his efficiency in completing innings. Initial results suggest that the new metric is better than FIP at predicting pitcher ERA. Executive Summary Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) is a metric created to measure pitcher performance. FIP can trace its roots back to research done by Voros McCracken in pursuit of winning his fantasy baseball league. McCracken discovered that there was little difference in the abilities of pitchers to prevent balls in play from becoming hits. Since individual pitchers can have greatly varying levels of effectiveness, this led him to wonder what pitchers did have control over. He found three that stood apart from the rest: strikeouts, walks, and home runs. Because these events involve only the batter and the pitcher, they are referred to as “fielding independent." FIP takes only strikeouts, walks, home runs, and innings pitched as inputs and it is scaled to earned run average (ERA) to allow for easier and more useful comparisons, as ERA has traditionally been one of the most important statistics for evaluating pitchers.

  • Hallowed Place, Toxic Space: 'Celebrating' Steve Bartman And
    . Volume 15, Issue 1 May 2018 Hallowed place, toxic space: ‘Celebrating’ Steve Bartman and Chicago Cubs’ Fan Pilgrimage Lincoln Geraghty, University of Portsmouth, UK Abstract: This paper is about travelling and exploring, assessing the historical importance of fan pilgrimages and the geographic spaces in which, and through which, fans travel to get closer to their object of fandom. But it also about how those spaces can become toxic, acting as painful reminders of the object turned bad, tragic failure and community rejection. Through a case study of the Steve Bartman incident during the 2003 National League baseball championship playoff game between the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field, and an auto-ethnographic study of the physical grounds and stadium, I present ongoing research into fan tourism and sports fandom. The vitriolic reception Bartman received when he inadvertently interfered with a potentially game-winning play that might have seen the Cubs reach their first World Series since 1945 highlights toxic fan behavior familiar to many sports. However, that the seat he occupied on the night serves as an unofficial monument to that moment suggests that even in great controversy and disappointment, Cubs fans find physical space and ‘being there’ just as important to winning or celebrating success. Fans of the Cubs are open in describing themselves as the unlucky losers (e.g. not having won the World Series since 1908 until only this past season), building a fan identity defined by a so- called ‘curse’ and based on years of past failures. Therefore, what happened around the Bartman incident and the fact that his seat is a fan tourist site visited by baseball fans and Cub enthusiasts alike tells us that being a fan is not just about celebrating the good or remembering the great but also about recognizing the bad and mourning the worst.

  • Tito Francona Smiled on Monday As He Recalled His First Drive up to Cleveland So Many Decades Ago
    Return to Cleveland a Francona family affair By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 10/08/12 4:35 PM ET CLEVELAND -- Tito Francona smiled on Monday as he recalled his first drive up to Cleveland so many decades ago. When the city was within view, just breathing everything in let him know he could get to like this town. "I saw the steel mills and saw all the smoke," Francona said. "I took a good whiff of it and said, 'You know what? This is just like home.'" Home for Francona is New Brighton, Pa., a steel town located roughly two hours southeast of Cleveland, where Francona suited up for the Indians during the 1950s and '60s. Cleveland always felt like his second home, so Francona was thrilled to be back inside Progressive Field on Monday morning. That is where the Indians officially introduced Terry Francona -- Tito's son -- as the 42nd manager in the franchise's long history. During his press conference, Terry Francona offered a warm smile and thanked his dad for being there, along with his wife, Jean. It was clearly a special moment for the Francona family. Terry will never forget telling his dad he was going to be the manager of the Indians. "I kind of cried a little bit," Terry Francona said. "I didn't want to, but it just happens. You can't take a job because your dad was a good Indian, but it's still a good story. My dad spent six years here. This is my third stint with the Indians, and it's pretty special.

  • How Agency Law Decides the True Owner of the 2004 Red Sox Final-Out Baseball
    A FIELDER’S CHOICE: HOW AGENCY LAW DECIDES THE TRUE OWNER OF THE 2004 RED SOX FINAL-OUT BASEBALL * BRIAN E. TIERNEY “The Boston Red Sox, the symbol of heartbreak and human foible to sports fans for nearly a century, are world champions. No more curses. No more moral victories. No more ‘next year.’”1 I. INTRODUCTION The minute hand crept toward midnight on October 27, 2004. A collective silence lingered over New England, as though the entire region had been holding its breath for the last eighty-six years. The Boston Red Sox had already made baseball history in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) where they came back from a three game deficit to sweep the final four games against their arch rival – the New York Yankees.2 Now the Red Sox were only one out away from sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals and clinching the World Series Championship that had eluded them for so long. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, a runner on second and a 1-0 count, Red Sox closer Keith Foulke threw an 89 mph fastball letter high over the outside corner of home * Brian E. Tierney is a third-year law student at the University of Hawaii, William S. Richardson School of Law, and expects to earn his Juris Doctor in May 2006. The author would like to thank his brothers, Kevin and Steven Tierney, for their valuable input throughout the writing process. 1 Mike Dodd, Curse RIP: 1918-2004, USA TODAY, Oct. 28, 2004, at 1C. 2 There’s reason to grumble in the Bronx; Yankees’ history seems little help as 3-0 lead slip away, HOUS.
