    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons. Kinsler, 36, is now a two-time winner. He also won with the Tigers in 2016. In 128 games for the Angels and Red Sox, Kinsler had 10 DRS, the most in the AL at second base. Andrew Benintendi (left field) and Mitch Moreland (first base) were finalists.

  • How Baseball's Arm Whisperer Fixes Broken Pitchers
    How Baseball’s Arm Whisperer Fixes Broken Pitchers Ivan Nova’s unexpected resurgence marks yet another successful reclamation project for the Pittsburgh Pirates under the tutelage of pitching coach Ray Searage. By: Jared Diamond- The Wall Street Journal Pittsburgh In today’s data-driven, power-centric version of baseball, starting pitchers tend to follow a similar formula: They throw as hard as they can for as long as they can, racking up strikeouts until they reach the 100-pitch mark, usually around the sixth inning or so. The days of one man owning the mound for 27 outs ended long ago. But it seems Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova never received that message. Upon arriving here in a trade with the New York Yankees last August, he has emerged as the ultimate throwback, dominating opposing lineups in a manner hardly seen for decades. In his first 15 outings for Pittsburgh, Nova completed four, more than anyone else during that span. Even more improbable, in 91 2/3 innings of work, he has issued just four total walks. That means when Nova pitches, he is equally likely to go the distance as he is to miss the strike zone four times to a given batter. “A lot of guys like to strike out everybody,” said Nova, who is scheduled to start Saturday night in Miami. “I like seeing all those ground balls and quick outs. It makes me more happy than getting 10 strikeouts.” Nova’s unexpected resurgence marks yet another successful reclamation project for the Pirates, who, under the tutelage of pitching coach Ray Searage, have reached the playoffs in three of the past four years.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, March 25, 2019 * The Boston Globe It’s a little house, it’s a man cave, it’s a private lab Alex Speier Who would want to go to a cage? For the Red Sox, the answer is just about everyone. As the Red Sox prepare to begin their title defense, the effort will start not on the field in Seattle at 7:10 p.m. EDT on Thursday but instead about 40 minutes prior to that, as players start filtering into the breeding ground of the team’s offensive culture. The batting cage, traditionally a venue whose emphasis was repetition, instead transformed into something else in the eyes of many members of the team. How do members of the team describe the cage? “A little house,” said infielder Eduardo Nunez. “A man cave,” said first baseman Steve Pearce. “Our private lab,” in the words of hitting coach Tim Hyers. It’s all of those things – and an essential part of where the Red Sox created a foundation for 119 victories in 2018. It’s worth considering all of those views of the batting cage to understand how the Red Sox formed their offensive identity and developed a top-to-bottom approach that forged the most prolific lineup in the game. Our private lab Historically, the batting cage represented an area where players simply went to loosen their muscles and to hone their swing through repetition. But those repetitions lacked purpose and detail. “There were just a lot of mindless reps taken in there,” said assistant hitting coach Andy Barkett.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, October 3, 2019 * The Boston Globe Sorting out the mixed signals coming from Fenway Park Christopher L. Gasper It’s a barren month for Boston baseball. There are no playoffs for the first time since 2015. There are no more games that matter until March. October is empty. But Fenway Park is full of mixed signals being sent about the 2020 vision for the Red Sox. The Sox are pushing the soft reset button unless they’re not. They’re in money-saving mode because of the burden of the competitive balance tax unless they’re not. They’re parting with either Mookie Betts or J.D. Martinez, because of the financial sword of Damocles that ex-baseball boss Dave Dombrowski left dangling above their heads, unless there’s a way they’re not. The Sox currently have more hedges than the garden at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The more they elaborate, the harder it is to pin down the team’s stance for next season. Sometimes you just need to rip off the conversational Band-Aid. The Sox need to shoot us straight. We can take it. The Fenway Faithful form the most sophisticated, informed, and loyal fan base in baseball. They might not like the plan, but they’ll tolerate it. The only thing they’ll have less tolerance for than a step-back year is being told it isn’t happening while it’s unfolding right in front of them. Send the euphemisms and equivocations to the dustbin along with manager Alex Cora’s spring training pitching plan.
