Sometimes so very close for the Angels, more often blindly out of reach. It was some bad stretch the Angels were going through. They weren’t getting blown out every night as much as simply pushed aside, very rude-like. In their 10 previous games they had squeaked out a win exactly once. Only Saturday offered a glimpse into another baseball life, one rife with timely hits and serious starting pitching, one that resulted in a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Angels used a grand slam from shortstop Andrelton Simmons in the third inning and some stellar pitching from left-hander Tyler Skaggs (1-1) to seize an elusive win. For Simmons, it was only the second slam of his career. Simmons has been hitting with more power this season. It was his third home run of the season. Right-hander Casey Lawrence (0-2), called up from triple A prior to the game, walked Kole Calhoun to open the bottom of the third inning and innocently enough begin his trouble. Mike Trout’s ground-rule double moved Calhoun to third and C.J. Cron walked to load the bases. Simmons wasted no time, jumping on Lawrence’s first pitch and sending it out to center field. Skaggs, still only 25, got into some two-out trouble in the first inning, surrendering a run on a walk and two singles. After that he was very much the starting pitcher the Angels almost desperately need him to be. Skaggs went seven-plus innings, scattering seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts. It made for a nice turnaround for Skaggs. After giving up five earned runs in each of his first two starts, he has given up two total runs in his last two starts. “Sometimes you just have to get your feet wet,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “His pitches, and his ability to repeat them and be more consistent with them has improved. Really, with every outing, from start to finish.” When Skaggs surrendered a double to Ryan Goins to lead off the eighth, Scioscia went to right-handed reliever Kirby Yates, called up from triple A prior to the game. Yates gave up a two-run homer to Kevin Pillar to pull Toronto within 5-3. Yates also gave up a drive in the gap to Jose Bautista but right-fielder Calhoun made a great diving catch to rob Bautista. April 23, 2017 Page 4 of 16 The night never would get any better for Yates. He gave up another home run in the ninth to Justin Smoak to make it a one-run game. With all three of their would-be closers on the disabled list after placing Cam Bedrosian on it Saturday, the Angels called on Bud Norris. He quickly gave up a single to Steve Pearce. Simmons snared a hard hit by Devon Travis and, while on his knees, flipped the ball out of his glove to second baseman Danny Espinosa to start a double play. “We said we cracked the door open for them [Friday] night,” Scioscia said. “We slammed it shut tonight with great defense. Four double plays, Kole in right-center. We made plays.” Norris struck out Jarrod Saltalamacchia for the first save of his nine-year career. Angels move ace right-hander Garrett Richards to 60-day disabled list By Steve Dilbeck The Angels crossed fingers and wished upon a few stars, hoping right-hander Garrett Richards could return after sitting out most of last season because of an elbow injury to become the ace he once flirted with becoming. In his first start this season, he broke down because of a strained biceps and went on the 10-day disabled list. Now the Angels can’t be certain exactly when he will pitch again, the injury emerging more serious than originally believed. Saturday they moved Richards from the 10-day to the 60-day DL. The Angels said in addition to the strain there was irritation to the cutaneous nerve in the area, which was contributing to the continued muscle weakness. Richards, 28, started only six games last season before suffering ulnar collateral ligament damage, an injury that in the past typically meant surgery. Richards instead opted for stem-cell injections and the elbow appeared to respond well. Only now there is another arm injury for the right-hander to deal with. The Angels did not say how long they expected him to be out and did not announce the DL move until after manager Mike Scioscia had completed his daily media session. Cam Bedrosian is put on DL The Angels were a team without an actual specified closer, although Cam Bedrosian was the understood almost-closer. Now they don’t even have that. April 23, 2017 Page 5 of 16 The Angels placed the right-hander on the 10-day DL Saturday because of a groin strain. Scioscia said Bedrosian tweaked the groin throwing in the eighth inning Friday of the Angels’ eventual 8-7, 13-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Bedrosian, who has the team’s only three saves, gave up a two-run double to Justin Smoak on Friday that briefly gave Toronto the lead. “He came out of the inning and if were tied he said he could go back out there,” Scioscia said. “He was sitting here and it really tightened up. It was sore last night. It's sore today. “When you have the availability of a 10-day DL, it makes sense. We want to make sure this gets behind him.” The Angels already have Huston Street, who started as last year’s closer, on the 60-day DL because of a right lat strain. Andrew Bailey, who saved six games for the Angels last September, is also on the DL because of shoulder inflammation. Roster moves Roster movement was almost frantic before Saturday’s game. The Angels optioned Friday’s starter, Alex Meyer, back to triple A. The 6-foot-9 Meyer lasted only 3 2/3 innings Friday against the Blue Jays. Coming up from Salt Lake City to shore up the bullpen were right-handed relievers Daniel Wright and Kirby Yates. Wright had been up previously, giving up three runs in the four innings of his only appearance. Short hops The Angels now have eight pitchers on the DL (Vicente Campos, Andrew Heaney, Nick Tropeano, Mike Morin, Street, Bailey, Richards and Bedrosian). … Jose Bautista’s first home run of the season, a three- run shot in the 13th inning Friday, held up for Toronto’s 8-7 win. … Angels third baseman Yunel Escobar, who left Friday’s game complaining of dizziness, returned to the lineup Saturday. FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER . Tyler Skaggs, Andrelton Simmons power Angels to win over Blue Jays By ELLIOTT TEAFORD ANAHEIM — And then there are nights like Saturday, when it all seems so effortless, so simple. One big swing. April 23, 2017 Page 6 of 16 One long string of superb pitches. That’s what the Angels needed to take a 5-4 victory from the Toronto Blue Jays at Angel Stadium. Effortless and simple are not two words associated with the Angels’ play so far in 2017, but their world seemed to be spinning in greased grooves for once. Well, at least until left-hander Tyler Skaggs left the game with what sure looked like a commanding 5-1 lead in the seventh inning, anyway. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons slammed the first pitch he saw from Blue Jays starter Casey Lawrence (0-2) in the third inning over the left-field fence for a grand slam, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving Skaggs plenty of room to work. “I’m happy with the win,” a smiling Simmons said, doing his best to ignore several teammates who coached him during a postgame interview. “Grand slams are pretty cool, especially when you win. Seeing Tyler Skaggs pitch as well as he did is really encouraging.” Simmons’ second career grand slam, his first with the Angels, eased Skaggs’ burden considerably. Skaggs gave up two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks in seven-plus innings, giving the Angels’ over-taxed bullpen a break after a 13-inning marathon loss Friday. Angels manager Mike Scioscia used seven relievers to back up starter Alex Meyer, including Sunday’s scheduled starter Jesse Chavez to start the 13th. Chavez gave up Jose Bautista’s tiebreaking three-run homer in the Blue Jays’ eventual 8-7 victory.

  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings November 21, 2012
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings November 21, 2012 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Pitching is pricey, transactions By John Fay | 11/20/2012 12:17 PM ET Want to know why the Reds would be wise to lock up Homer Bailey and Mat Latos long-term? The Kansas City Royals agreed to a three-year deal with Jeremy Guthrie that pays him $5 million on 2013, $11 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2015. He went 8-12 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. Bailey went 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Latos went 14-4 with a 2.48 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. It’s a bit apples and oranges: Guthrie is a free agent; Bailey is arbitration-eligible for the second time, Latos for the first. But the point is starting pitching — even mediocre starting pitching — is expensive. SIX ADDED: The Reds added right-handers Carlos Contreras, Daniel Corcino, Curtis Partch and Josh Ravin, left-hander Ismael Guillon and outfielder Yorman Rodriguez to the roster in order to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Report: Former Red Frank Pastore badly hurt in motorcycle wreck By dclark | 11/20/2012 7:55 PM ET The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin is reporting that former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Frank Pastore, a Christian radio personality in California, was badly injured Monday night after being thrown from his motorcycle onto the highway near Duarte, Calif.

  • Indians Party Like It's 1997 After Winning Pennant
    Indians party like it's 1997 after winning pennant Cleveland will host Game 1 of the World Series for first time in its history By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | 12:38 AM ET TORONTO -- They took turns passing the trophy around. A bottle in one hand and the hardware in the other, one by one, Cleveland's players savored their moment. They would stare at it, champagne dripping from the gold eagle that sits atop the black base, pausing for a moment before posing for photos. In that brief personal moment, the players probably thought about all that had to happen for the Indians to reach this stage, for that trophy to be placed in their arms. Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, a victory that clinched the franchise's sixth AL pennant, gave the world a look at what has defined this Indians team all season long, and why it is now going to the World Series. "I'm just really happy that we're standing here today," said Indians president Chris Antonetti, as his players partied on the other side of Rogers Centre's visitors' clubhouse. "However we got here, I'm not sure I've reflected back on. But this team, the resiliency, the grit, the perseverance to overcome all that they've gone through over the course of the season ..." More champagne bottles popped behind him. "The guys we have are not focused on who's not here," he continued, "but focused on the guys that are here and [they] try to find a way to help them win.

  • Baseball Banquet on Friday, January 31, Which Dkicked-Off the Beginning of the 2014 Patriot Base- Ball Season
    allas Baptist University hosted its 22nd annual baseball banquet on Friday, January 31, which Dkicked-off the beginning of the 2014 Patriot base- ball season. The evening was particularly special as three former Patriots were the first to be inducted into the program’s Ring of Honor. The three honorees (pictured top, left to right), Brandon Bantz (Seattle Mariners), Victor Black (New York Mets), and Ryan Goins (Toronto Blue Jays) all made their major debuts during the 2013 Major League Baseball season. The evening also provided an opportunity to pay tribute to two individuals without whom the new Horner Ballpark would not be possible. Ron Skaggs, DBU trustee and former chair of the architecture firm HKS, Inc., and his son, David, who currently works as an architect for HKS, received the 2014 Patriot Special Recognition Award for their work in designing Horner Ballpark (pictured middle). HKS is known for its design of the venues for the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, and Texas Rangers, to name just a few, and through the help of Ron and David Skaggs, the group designed the award- winning new home of the DBU Patriots. In addition, the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the So- ciety for American Baseball Research presented former DBU player Duncan McAlpine as their 2013 Metroplex Player of the Year. Duncan (pictured lower middle, with Bo Carter (left) and Paul Rogers from SABR) had a standout senior season and was drafted last year into the Detroit Tigers organization. “This year’s baseball banquet was one of the best that I have had the privilege of attending since being at DBU,” said Connor Smith, who serves as the Acting Director of Athletics.
