Cincinnati Reds' CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS OCTOBER 6, 2014 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY: OCTOBER 6, 1995 – THE REDS BEAT THE DODGERS 10-1 TO SWEEP THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Robinson: Rose doesn't belong in Hall of Fame C. Trent Rosecrans Frank Robinson was Pete Rose's teammate with the Reds for three seasons, but the two-time Most Valuable Player doesn't want Rose to be his teammate in the Hall of Fame. For the 40th anniversary of Robinson becoming the first African-American hired as a manager in Major League Baseball history, ESPN interviewed Robinson for Sunday's "Outside the Lines." According to a release from the network, Robinson was asked about several topics, including Rose. When asked by Jeremy Schaap what baseball should do with Rose, Robinson answered: "Nothing. Lifetime ban means lifetime. Pete Rose broke a sacred rule in baseball by gambling on baseball and gambling on his own team. And one time I remember hearing him say that he wasn't aware of that rule, rule 21. It's right plastered in the clubhouse of every major league team, minor league team." Robinson also had a similar stance on Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez for their suspected drug use. When asked who is baseball's all-time home run king, Robinson said, "Hank Aaron. I don't think Hank Aaron had any help. He did it naturally. And I really don't think that Barry Bonds did it naturally. I can't sit here and say I have proof. I don't. But I have eyes. I played the game. I know what it takes to hit home runs." Robinson said Rodriguez's legacy is a "disgrace." The interview airs Sunday at 8 a.m. on ESPN2. Reds must decide the pitchers they can afford C. Trent Rosecrans As the Reds stand – and general manager Walt Jocketty has indicated things won't stand as they are – the Reds have their entire starting rotation under contract for the 2015. But it's the 2016 season where things get interesting – now only one of those starters, Homer Bailey, is under contract after next season. As the Reds approach 2015 and beyond, Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon all enter their "walk" year, their last year before being eligible for free agency. Do the Reds hold tight, trade one or more of the starters or try to lock up one or more of them beyond 2015? It's one of the biggest questions facing Jocketty this offseason, even if it's not an unfamiliar one. A year ago, Bailey was in the same spot, but before he went to arbitration, the Reds signed him to a six-year deal, with an option for a seventh, worth $110 million. That deal will be the baseline for the team's negotiations going forward, with the remaining pitchers falling on either side of the Bailey line. One thing that will be tough, though, is a cry of poverty, especially after signing Bailey and Joey Votto. "I really hope we can find a way to keep everybody," Jocketty said recently. "We may not be able to do it. We've been very creative in the past with payroll. We're trying to retain the critical guys and try to add a little bit to it. I don't know what we're going to do yet. That's something we'll work on the next month or two." That'll be difficult, everyone realizes. "As much as I think we'd like to be able to keep every single guy and pay them what they deserve, it's impossible to do it here," Reds manager Bryan Price, the team's former pitching coach, said last week. "It feels like you're trying to pick your favorite guy – as good as these guys are, they're all at different levels. Some of them may be able to command a six, six-plus year top-level salary and maybe are more in what you'd consider the affordable range. It doesn't look good when you're not trying to sign your best players, and you can't sign them all. It's impossible to keep them all. That being said, I'm sure every effort will be made. Sometimes the players have to cooperate too, and that's hard to ask them, to be in the prime of their career and make it workable for both sides." Here's a look at the four Reds starters, who along with Bailey, are pencilled in to the 2015 rotation. Johnny Cueto 2014 Record: 20-9, 2.25 ERA, 34 games started Career Record: 85-57, 3.27, 194 games started 2015 contract status: Reds hold a $10 million option for Cueto Cueto has become the best homegrown Reds pitcher since Mario Soto and could be in the conversation among its best ever. But coming off one of the greatest pitching seasons in team history, the 28-year-old has as much value as he'll ever have on the trade market. After becoming the first Reds 20-game winner in 26 years on Sunday, Cueto was asked if he wanted to sign long-term, and he didn't hesitate. "Yes. I feel good here. I like it here," Cueto said according to Tomas Vera, the Reds assistant athletic trainer who served as his interpreter. "I like the fans. I like the stadium, even though the stadium is small, I like this stadium. I pitch good here. I want to stay here, yes." Cueto signed a four-year, $27-million extension with the $10 million option for 2015 before the 2011 season. That contract bought out all three of his arbitration years, plus the first two of his free agent years. That contract turned out to be a bargain – something that seems unlikely for his next contract. For now, Cueto said on Sunday, he's just concerned about 2015, not 2014. "That's not my decision," Cueto said about contract talks according to Vera. "That's the GM's decision – what he does or what they do. All I have to do is continue working, come back to spring training and do my job and continue doing what I've been doing. And let them make decisions about it." Mat Latos 2014 Record: 5-5, 3.25 ERA, 16 games started Career Record: 60-45, 3.34 ERA, 153 games started 2015 contract: Arbitration eligible, made $7.25 million in the second year of a two-year contract in 2014 The last Reds player to actually see the arbitration process through was Chris Reitsma in 2004, but in 2013 they were in the room when they struck a two-year deal with Latos to avoid arbitration in 2013 and 2014. That left 2015, Latos' third year of arbitration, which is still coming up. That left Latos with the option of free agency after this season, the first year for Latos, who will turn 27 in December. The right-hander started the 2014 season on the disabled list and didn't pitch after Sept. 7 with a bone bruise in his right elbow, limiting him to just 16 starts in 2014. Latos is one of the few players who knows what it's like to be traded – even after being assured he wouldn't be traded. The Reds brought him to Cincinnati in a trade with the Padres in December of 2011. Latos said he's been through that, and doesn't want to go through it again. "I'd like to be here. I've expressed that numerous times. I think of everyone who is on this pitching staff – and not to take a shot at anybody, but of anyone on this pitching staff, I've been the one that's made it known that I'd like to stay here," Latos said. "But, then again, I don't pull the strings around here, so I can't really say whether or not they're taking any of that into consideration or anything at all." Latos and his wife, Dallas, bought a house in Cincinnati and live here during the winter – no small feat for the couple who are from warmed climates. However, Latos said buying the house wasn't symbolic, it was more practical. "We didn't buy a house out here to say we wanted to be here full-term. We bought a house here because it made sense," Latos said. "I had a couple of years that we knew we were going to be here, so why not get a house and get situated and be established and start a family? I'm fine with it. I'm fine if I'm traded. I don't necessarily want it, but if I get traded, it's a business and I understand." Mat and Dallas Latos started a family this year, with their son, Landon Marshall Latos, who was born here in August. Latos said he'd love for his family to stay in Cincinnati, because he's grateful to be a part of the larger Reds family. "The Castellinis here have been great to me and Dallas. I'd say more than great," Latos said recently. "From Day 1, there aren't words to put how generous and how nice and kind they've been to myself and my wife. I can't think of a better way to show appreciation back than to go out and fight for him every fifth day when I can. Like I said, when it comes down to it, if I get traded, I get traded.

  • Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics
    Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics December 9, 2012 Joe Scott 1 Introduction Major League Baseball uses statistics to determine awards every season. The batting champion is given to the player with the highest batting average. The Cy Young Award is given to the top pitcher which is determined by many different statistics including earned run average (ERA). Batting average and ERA have been used for many years and are major statistics in baseball. Neither batting average or ERA consider the skill of the opposing pitcher or batter. Thus, every pitcher and batter is considered to have the same skill level. We develop an implicitly definded statistic that determines the skill or value of a player. The value of a batter and the value of a pitcher is based on the skill of the oppposing pitcher and batter respectively. We use linear algebra to find eigenvector solutions to the eigenvalue problem, Aλ = λx, which generates each player's statistical value. 2 Idea Consider a baseball league in which there are Nb players who bat, represented by bi for 1 ≤ i ≤ Nb. We represent the number of pitchers in the league as pj, 1 ≤ j ≤ Np where Np is the number of pitchers. Nb is defined as the number players who record an at bat during a specific season and Np is the number of players who record a pitching appearance during a season. The total number of players in the league, Ntp, is represented by the inequality Ntb ≤ Nb + Np. This inequality considers players who both hit and pitch. Since in the National League pitchers hit as well as pitch we need to add the pitchers to the total number of batters and in interleague play (which is when American League teams face National League teams in the regular season) American League pitchers bat when the National League team is home.

  • 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. From dailybulletin.com’s Juliette Funes: A 55-year-old motorcyclist from Upland was taken to a trauma center when his motorcycle was hit by a car on the 210 Freeway Monday night.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Holy Toledo Lessons From Bill King Renaissance Man of the Mic by Ken Korach Big League Life: Five Questions with… Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Ken Korach. This is the fourth piece in a series of posts centered on life inside professional baseball. March 3 0 marks the eve of Opening Day in Major League Baseball as well as the release of my third book, a novel titled Big League Life . While a work of fiction, this story is the result of years of research about and interview with the men and women who make the “big league life” their life. Many people contributed to the realism of the characters woven into this story and one of those individuals is the subject of today’s “Five Questions with…” post, longtime Oakland Athletics broadcaster Ken Korach. The drama of a Major League Baseball game centers on the performances of athletes competing on the playing field. However, you can’t unstitch the greatest moments in baseball history from the broadcasters that are connected forever with those moments. Is the “shot heard ‘round the world” remembered as clearly today without Russ Hodges’ iconic narration? Does Sandy Koufax’s Perfect Game in 1965 resonate the same way without Vin Scully’s masterful call? Scan through baseball’s archives and you will, undoubtedly, find coupled with every moment a call made by the game’s best broadcasters. Not always beautiful, not always perfect. Each, however, honest, emotional, and timeless in its own way. Red Barber. Dave Neihaus. Ernie Harwell. Harry Kalas. The list goes on and on and it continues to grow today as history unfolds before our very eyes.

  • Media Announcement
    MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BAY AREA RADIO HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES FIRST CLASS OF HONOREES San Francisco (October 4, 2006) — The Bay Area Radio Museum is proud to announce the first group of inductees into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The selections were made following a year of study during which input from broadcast professionals, fans and historians was weighed to establish criteria and nominees for enshrinement. Among the first inductees are pioneers from the earliest period of local radio development nearly a century ago, as well as popular personalities from the modern era. Many of the names, such as Don Sherwood and Tom Donahue, may be instantly recognizable. Others, such as Colin B. Kennedy and Harrison Holliway, may be less so. In either case, it is hoped that the creation of the Hall of Fame will help to honor the men and women who have made Bay Area radio so popular over the years, and will make their names and accomplishments known for generations to come. For the near future, the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame will exist primarily on the Internet at www.barhof.com, although a permanent exhibit is planned at the old KRE radio studios in Berkeley, which are being refurbished by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame is spearheaded by the Bay Area Radio Museum, which is an affiliate of the Broadcast & Newspaper Museum of Northern California consortium, which also includes CHRS and the Broadcast Legends. The radio museum was founded in 2005, and currently presents archival broadcast recordings, photographs, documents and historical essays on its website at www.bayarearadio.org.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 18, 2020 * The Boston Globe Fenway Park is ready to play ball, even though we are not Stan Grossfeld The grass is perfect and the old ballpark is squeaky clean — it was scrubbed and disinfected for viral pathogens for three days in March. Spending a few hours at Fenway Park is good for the soul. The ballpark is totally silent. The mound and home plate are covered by tarps and the foul lines aren’t drawn yet, but it feels as if there still could be a game played today. The sun’s warmth reflecting off The Wall feels good. The tug of the past is all around but the future is the great unknown. In Fenway, zoom is still a word to describe a Chris Sale fastball, not a video conferencing app. Old friend Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians would have been here this weekend and there would’ve been big hugs by the batting cage and the rhythmic crack of bat meeting ball. But now gaining access is nearly impossible and includes health questions and safety precautions and a Fenway security escort. Visitors must wear a respiratory mask, gloves, and practice social distancing, larger than the lead Dave Roberts got on Mariano Rivera in the 2004 ALCS. Carissa Unger of Green City Growers in Somerville is planting organic vegetables for Fenway Farms, located on the rooftop of the park. She is one of the few allowed into the ballpark. The harvest this year all will be donated to a local food pantry.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
