Language Arts 2013 EDUCATION DAYS At Wednesday, April 10th @ 10:05 am Monday, April 29th @ 10:05 am Wednesday, May 15th @ 10:05 am Curriculum Guide Including Kentucky’s Learning Goals and Academic Expectations IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING This curriculum guide was created to provide you with a learning “compass” to help guide your students through a truly rewarding “out of class” experience. The ideas and lesson plans included within stand to serve as a guide to educators to create educational, appropriate ideas to assist in the “Education Day” at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. The curriculum has been designed by educators for educators. It is intended to help provide activities toward meeting Kentucky’s Learning Goals and Academic Expectations. For your convenience, the Learning Goals and Academic Expectations are listed within the curriculum. Regardless of the activity, the procedures and methods can easily be substituted to fit your appropriate grade level. This curriculum has been organized with the following in mind: . Educators tailor their lesson plans to meet the needs of their students. Educators may use bits and pieces of a lesson plan to create their own lesson plans. Educators have the flexibility to use this curriculum to integrate ideas into current studies. This curriculum guide has been divided into four basic areas of study: MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, and LANGUAGE ARTS. Within each of these four areas of study, we have further divided them into two distinct sub-headings: FOCUSED LESSON PLANS and EXTENDED IDEAS. Focused Lesson Plans: With at least three samples per section, these lesson plans have been designed as a complete, top-to-bottom lesson plan. Each focused lesson plan contains exercises to be dealt with in the classroom, at the “Education Day” games, and after the game has been completed as a follow-up or additional learning. Extended Ideas: Each section contains a number of ideas that have been designed to peak your interest. Should you find an extended idea applicable to your area of expertise, you are encouraged to develop the concept into a focused lesson plan for use within your classroom. Please do not hesitate to modify, add to, subtract from, or completely re-work these ideas for your own application. We sincerely appreciate your school’s/classroom’s participation and we truly hope that you find this event worthwhile, educational, and enjoyable. Additionally, we welcome any specific ideas or comments that would aid or improve the “Education Days” or the curriculum guide for future “Education Days.” . Was the guide easy to use? . Were there any errors? If so, please inform us so that we may correct them. Was there an activity that stood out from the rest – one that your students truly enjoyed? . Did you enhance any of the activities in ways that may interest others? . Were there any activities that “struck out” or should never have been placed in the guide? Just as in baseball, teaching only gets better with practice. So we’d like your ideas for future editions of this curriculum guide. Send your ideas or lesson plans to: Lexington Legends Education Day Whitaker Bank Ballpark 207 Legends Lane Lexington, KY 40505 Curriculum Development This curriculum was adapted from the Akron Aeros’ curriculum guide, which was developed by: Akron Public Schools Curriculum Specialists Cheryl Baker and Judi Bevly Downtown Primary School Sheri Leafgren University of Akron Janel Litzel Green Middle School Paula Jameson and Michael Curry Litchfield Middle School Ernie Sigler and Jennifer Bennett Akron Aeros Kurt Landes and Benjamin Tolchinsky Adapted for Kentucky by: Woodford County Middle School Greg Young Whitney Allison Gay Pease Lexington Legends Chelsea Hansing TABLE OF CONTENTS Language Arts Focused Lesson Plans Extended Ideas Mathematics Focused Lesson Plans Extended Ideas Science Focused Lesson Plans Extended Ideas Social Studies Focused Lesson Plans Extended Ideas Appendices Appendix A: Lexington Legends Statistics Appendix B: Statistics Worksheet Appendix C: Key Baseball Formulas Appendix D: Whitaker Bank Ballpark Costs Appendix E: Legends Roster Appendix F: Whitaker Bank Ballpark Diagram Appendix G: Whitaker Bank ballpark Diagram (2) Appendix H: South Atlantic League Map Appendix I: United States Map Appendix J: Lexington Map Appendix K: South Atlantic League Mileage Chart Appendix L: Legends Home Schedule Appendix M: Baseball Definitions Appendix N: Minor League Terms Appendix P: Legends History and Information Appendix Q: Legends Demographics Appendix R: “Casey at the Bat” Appendix S: Baseball Bat Sizes Appendix T: Baseball Scoring Sheet Appendix U: Legends Box Score Appendix V: Box Score Glossary Appendix W: Reading Baseball Statistics Appendix X: Baseball Books & Internet Web Sites Appendix Y: Kentucky Worksheets LANGUAGE ARTS Focused Lesson Plans Lesson Plan 1 “Investigative Reporting” Objective: Students will be able to write an informational piece using a prompt and utilize the writing process to make the writing activity clear for the intended audience.

Introduction The Quality of Pitch (QOP) statistic uses PITCHf/x data to extract the trajectory, location, and speed from a single pitch and is mapped onto a -10 to 10 scale. A value of 5 or higher represents a quality MLB pitch. In March 2015 we presented an LA Dodgers case study at the SABR Analytics conference using QOP that included the following results1: 1. Clayton Kershaw’s no hitter on June 18, 2014 vs. Colorado had an objectively better pitching performance than Josh Beckett’s no hitter on May 25th vs. Philadelphia. 2. Josh Beckett’s 2014 injury followed a statistically significant decline in his QOP that was not accompanied by a significant decline in MPH. These, and the others made in the presentation, are big claims.

    Dragons GameDay Monday, June 11, 2018 Game # 62 Fifth Third Field Dayton, Ohio 7:00 p.m. Radio: Fox Sports 980 WONE Bowling Green Hot Rods (40-21) at Dayton Dragons (29-32) LH Resly Linares (0-1, 7.07) vs. RH Adrian Rodriguez (3-2, 6.00) Today’s Game: The Dayton Dragons (affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) meet the Bowling Green Hot Rods (affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays) in the last game of a four-game series. Season Series to Date: Bowling Green 9, Dayton 2 (in Dayton: Hot Rods 4, Dragons 1). Current Series to Date: BG 3, Dayton 0. Last Game: Sunday: Bowling Green 8, Dayton 4. The Hot Rods built a 6-0 lead over the first two innings and held off a Dayton comeback bid to hand the Dragons their sixth straight loss. The Dragons battled back, getting to within three runs at 7-4 in the bottom of the fifth. They had the tying run on base with two outs in that inning but were shutout the rest of the night. Three Dayton players, Jeter Downs, Stuart Fairchild, and Mitch Piatnik, each had two hits. 2018 Team Notes The Dragons threatened to tie the franchise record for most home wins in a half (25) but will come up short. They entered this series with 22 home wins with four home games remaining Dragons Home & Road in the first half, but they have lost the first three games of the set. Meanwhile, the Dragons need four road wins to avoid tying the club record for fewest road Home Road wins in a half.

  • 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).
