* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, May 26, 2021 * The Boston Globe Atlanta survives early flurry, keeps Red Sox in check for series-opening win Alex Speier Already, the Red Sox have proven capable of defying the measured expectations that greeted them at the start of the season. After a residence of more than six weeks in first place, their talent will no longer be overlooked. Still, their recent slip from atop the AL East has likewise offered a reminder. As the Sox hope to transform from early-season surprise to season-long contender, they do not have the luxury of fumbling opportunities in an ultra-competitive division. Tuesday night, a 3-1 loss to Atlanta at Fenway underscored the point. The Sox had an immediate chance to seize control of the game from opposing starter Charlie Morton. Instead, they blew it in a way that seemed at once impossible, yet somehow familiar. Despite six of the first eight Sox hitters reaching base, that game-opening pressure turned into just one run through two innings — and none thereafter. “When you have a man on third, I think we have to bear down, we have to put the ball in play,” said manager Alex Cora. “For us to keep the line moving and win close games, we have to do that. We haven’t been doing that for a while.” In the bottom of the first, the Sox loaded the bases (single, walk, error) with no outs. But that golden promise — a situation that, on average, produces more than two runs — soon proved a ruse. Though Morton forced in a run by hitting Rafael Devers on the foot with a pitch, that event was bookended by a Xander Bogaerts strikeout and Christian Vázquez lining into an inning-ending double play. Danny Santana, in his first Fenway plate appearance as a Red Sox, lined a Morton changeup to right for a leadoff triple in the second. A walk put runners on the corners, but Bobby Dalbec struck out and Kiké Hernández grounded into another inning-ending double play. That futility — 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and two double plays — in situations where a mere ball in play can score a run has proven unexpectedly common for one of the game’s highest scoring offenses. The Red Sox entered Tuesday at or near the bottom of the league in average (.246, 25th), on-base (.284, 27th), and slugging (.275, 30th) with a runner on third and fewer than two outs, while posting the 10th highest strikeout rate (23.9 percent) in such moments. Since May 7, they’re 2-for-27 with a .074/.152/.111 line, 10 strikeouts, and four double-plays in 33 such plate appearances. “We haven’t done the job,” Cora lamented. “In an era or a year that is hard to hit, and runs are at a premium . it’s very important to make contact with a man on third. “We’ve been preaching this since spring training and we haven’t been able to do it so far this season,” he added. “We have to put the ball in play. That’s very important for us.” The inability to do so on Tuesday allowed Morton (3-2, 3.98) to settle into a comfortable rhythm. He retired 17 of 18 batters from the second through seventh innings, and finished having allowed just one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out nine. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s offense went to work against Garrett Richards on an off-night. The Sox righthander yielded three runs over 5⅔ innings. Despite featuring his best fastball velocity of the season (up to 97 mph), he spent most of the night fighting his lack of control (four walks) and the absence of feel for his slider and curveball. “I didn’t really have much tonight,” said Richards. “Just kind of made it work, tried to go as long as I can. Tonight was just an off night. Just didn’t really feel good, just didn’t have great . stuff.” Richards opened the third with a leadoff walk to nine-hole hitter William Contreras, which was followed by a one-out single through the shift by Freddie Freeman and a ringing RBI double to center by Marcell Ozuna that tied the game. Ozzie Albies then pulled a grounder into the shift, deep enough to permit Freeman to cross the plate with a 2-1 advantage. But Hernández, seeing from second that Ozuna got a bad jump, alertly made the long throw to third to cut down the slugger. “One of the best plays I’ve seen,” said Cora. “To do it from the shift, first time I’ve seen that. Amazing play.” The play came with consequence beyond the run and the out for Atlanta, as Ozuna dislocated his left ring and middle fingers when his hand got caught in Devers’ spikes. Ozuna left the game and will head to Atlanta to see a specialist. Atlanta added another run in the sixth, a rally set in motion by a one-out single from former Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who responded to the zealous boos of 9,357 Fenway patrons by going 3-for-4. Sandoval advanced to second when Richards issued another two-out walk to nine-hole hitter Contreras, his last batter. Reliever Hirokazu Sawamura proved unable to fulfill the daunting task for which he was summoned. Superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. stayed on a down-and-in splitter and ripped it down the left field line for a run- scoring double that put Atlanta ahead, 3-1. That was plenty for Morton and his bullpen, as Atlanta did not permit a runner to advance past first the last seven innings. Lefty Will Smith closed out the game with two strikeouts in a perfect ninth. The Sox dropped to 13-13 at Fenway, while missing out on a chance to reclaim first place when Tampa Bay’s 11-game winning streak was snapped with a loss to the Royals. One of several missed opportunities on the night for the Red Sox. Kiké Hernández has found his form from the top Alex Speier The Red Sox have featured one of baseball’s most prolific offenses, yet early in the season, that came in spite of the team’s theoretical catalysts. Manager Alex Cora’s decision to install Kiké Hernández as the leadoff hitter to start the year paid few initial dividends. In April, Red Sox leadoff hitters posted a combined .239 average (20th in MLB), .287 on- base (26th), and .407 slugging mark (13th). Leadoff rarely set up the veritable fortress in the second through fifth spots — Alex Verdugo, J.D. Martinez, Xander Bogaerts, and Rafael Devers. Hernández, who hit .230/.270/.400 in April, was chiefly accountable for that. Still, Cora didn’t consider veering from that lineup structure. Even when Hernández landed on the injured list, Cora used Michael Chavis and Marwin Gonzalez rather than tinker with his Nos. 2-5. Why not bump up Verdugo to leadoff and keep Martinez, Bogaerts, and Devers together behind him? “I’m not going to hit J.D. second. No chance. Well for now, no chance — you never know,” said Cora before Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to Atlanta. “I like where we’re at structure-wise. As far as leadoff hitter, we have to be better, of course, but we’ve been doing a good job of scoring runs the way we are so . if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” That ongoing commitment has been made easier by the recent performance of Hernández. In the four games before his hamstring injury, Hernández found his groove, going 4-for-12 with a homer, double, and three walks. In his seven games since coming off the injured list, he’s been even better, hitting .357/.379/.500 following a 1-for-4 on Tuesday. Cora credited improved selectivity. In April, Hernández swung at 28.6 percent of the pitches he saw outside of the strike zone. In May, that number has plummeted to 17.6 percent. “I do believe he’s controlling the zone a little bit more. Everything starts with walks,” said Cora. “I think towards the end [before going on the IL], he started controlling the zone. Maybe the 10 days on the IL helped, too. It just, recharge your body, reset your body, and he feels good where he’s at. He’s been able to stay up the middle. He’s in a great place.” For now, it seems that place will remain the top of the order. Christian Arroyo activated The Red Sox activated Christian Arroyo from the injured list, satisfied after a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester that he’s recovered from being hit by a pitch in the left hand on May 5. “The hand’s feeling really good,” said Arroyo. “There’s still a bruise there, which is to be expected. You touch it or hit it or something, it’s going to aggravate you, but it’s nothing that’s [debilitating].” Arroyo said that after getting hit on the left hand twice in a week and a half, he’ll now wear a custom-fitted EvoShield hand guard to protect himself from further harm. His role may be reduced, however, with the team’s recent roster addition of Danny Santana. Arroyo started 18 of the first 31 games, including many against righthanded starters, and hit .275/.333/.377. But the switch-hitting Santana now is able to play center, and permit Hernández to move back to second base.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, March 7, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, March 7, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Tim Lincecum joins Rangers with new contract, heavy heart John Shea SURPRISE, Ariz. — For the first time in his big-league career, Tim Lincecum will wear a number other than 55. He’ll wear 44. “In honor of my brother,” Lincecum said Tuesday after working out at the Texas Rangers’ training facility. “That was his number. Either 12 or 44. Twelve was taken. So it’s 44.” Sean Lincecum, a major part of Tim Lincecum’s upbringing and an inspiration for Tim’s stellar pitching career with the Giants, died last month at 37. He was four years older than Tim, who threw on a side field Tuesday with a heavy heart, the memory of Sean fresh in his mind as he began the next chapter of his career with his third team. Tim flew to Arizona after attending Sean’s funeral Saturday. “That’s a tough thing to put into words right now,” said Lincecum, who declined to specify his brother’s cause of death. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot with the services happening a couple of days ago. For me, I always looked up to my brother. He was an idol for me. He just had a lot of bad runs with choices he made in life. That’s where we’re at right now.” Lincecum’s close relationship with his father, Chris, is well-chronicled. Chris has been his mentor, coach and friend and taught him nonconforming mechanics that helped him flourish in the big leagues.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2021 By Dave Badertscher After 18 long months without “live” Braves baseball in Atlanta, more than 14,000 masked, socially distanced fans turned out for Opening Night at Truist Park on Friday, April 9. When the gates opened the stadium began filling to 33% capacity, our eyes drawn to “44” etched in center field as “real” fans replaced the cardboard cutouts of 2020. We eagerly anticipated a much needed in-person baseball experience. It was high time for a rematch of the opening series in Philly, which had not gone well for our guys. Charlie Morton vs. Zack Wheeler rebooted. Braves fans were pumped! What would Opening Night at a Braves game be without evoking memories of the franchise’s 50+ years relationship with the city of Atlanta and the South? A moving pregame ceremony paid tribute to the passing of Bill Bartholomay, Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, and Hank Aaron, highlighting their legendary contributions to the team, the game of baseball, and our community. Fan Club member Wayne Coleman (pictured bottom right) played “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Timothy Miller sang the “National Anthem.” Jets flew over. Fans stood and cheered. Braves Country at its best. The Tomahawk Times April 2021 Page 2 The Phillies brought an impressive, early 5-1 record to town. The pitching duel between Morton and Wheeler held until Ronald Acuna launched a 456 foot, two-run blast and the Braves scored three in the bottom of the 5th. The red-hot Acuna ending up going 4 for 5 and made a sensational run-saving catch in the 6th.
