  • 2021 GOLDEN BAY ROTISSERIE LEAGUE BASEBALL Press Release Number 1140 – September 28, 2021
    2021 GOLDEN BAY ROTISSERIE LEAGUE BASEBALL Press Release Number 1140 – September 28, 2021 http://www.sobaysports.com/roto/ Week twenty-six is complete and with one short week to go, some spots in the standings have been decided while others are still up for grabs. TOM’S THUMBS appear to have clinched the 2021 title as they are up to 95 points and have a nine and a half point cushion over the next closest team. The now second place MICHAEL’S MAULTERS lead a group of three teams separated by just one and a half points. The MAULTERS, the ROBIN HOODS, and MEYER’S FLYERS will finish second, third, and fourth, but the order remains to be seen. There is lots of sway in the categories for each team so anything can happen. Another nine and a half points back is our current fifth place team, the GARDEN PARITERS. The PARTIERS have been hot of late, but it is just too little, too late. The PARTIERS will attempt to hold off WILLIAM’S CONQUERORS and the ARTFUL DODGERS for the coveted first pick in the pre-auction draft. Finally, in the race to stay out of the cellar, the FARGIN ICEHOLES have overtaken BART’S TRANSBAY TUBES by two and a half points. The best hitting in the league belongs to TOM’S THUMBS with 52 points. WILLIAM’S CONQUERORS enjoy the best pitching in the league with 50 points.

  • 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.
