Associated Press p. 12 All-around effort gives Twins a series-opening victory over Tampa Bay La Velle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | June 3, 2016 There was a little bit of everything from the Twins’ offense Thursday. Eduardo Nunez electrified fans with the first leadoff inside-the-park home run in Target Field history. The bottom of the order contributed. Rookies produced. Struggling veterans stepped up. And it all was part of a season-high 15-hit attack The Twins used the offensive burst to beat Tampa Bay 6-4 and stopped a three-game losing streak while helping reliever Taylor Rogers win his first major league game. “There was a lot of contributions from a lot of guys,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Nunez led off the first with a fly ball to right that should have been caught by outfielder Brandon Guyer, but he looked as if he had trouble tracking the ball in the sun. He staggered back to the wall and still had time to make a play. but the ball hit his glove and rolled toward the right- field corner. Nunez was nearing second at the time, his helmet popping off his head as he ran. Then he looked at third base coach Gene Glynn and realized he was being waved home. “When I saw Geno, I just kept going,” Nunez said. Nunez slid on his belly — and with a big grin on his face — and owned the first leadoff inside-the-park home run in Twins history and the first one in the majors since Eric Young did it for the Rockies on Aug. 8, 2012. It was the first leadoff inside-the-park home run in franchise history since July 26, 1949. It also was the first inside-the-park home run hit by a Twins player in Target Field. “At the end of the play, I was just happy to make it,” he said. “I didn’t want to run anymore.” By the end of the game, every Twin would have at least one hit. Byung Ho Park had three hits, including two doubles. Brian Dozier added a home run that actually cleared the fence. And Max Kepler had his first two major league RBI. The Twins entered the game last in the American League in runs scored, which was disappointing because of the promise the offense showed heading into the season. There was home-run potential from the unit, but that hasn’t materialized. “Home runs are nice,” Moltior said, “but I don’t want to be a team that relies on that. I’d rather have flow.” When the Rays took a 2-1 lead in the third inning, the Twins responded with two runs in the fourth, one on Kepler’s first RBI, a double to right- center, the other on Byron Buxton’s sacrifice fly. Tampa Bay took a 4-3 lead in the fifth on Evan Longoria’s two-run homer that chased starter Phil Hughes from the game. But Dozier tied the score in the fifth with a solo homer. Then Dozier was plunked by an Erasmus Ramirez pitch with the bases loaded in the sixth, forcing in the lead run. Kepler’s RBI single in the seventh gave the Twins a 6-4 lead. Kevin Jepsen worked the ninth for his seventh save. The Twins have won five of their past seven games against Tampa Bay, going back to the start of the 2015 season. “It was great to have a game like that,” Nunez said. “We haven’t had many of them this year.” Reusse: Search for Twins' All-Star starts and ends with Nunez Patrick Reusse | Star Tribune | June 3, 2016 The idea that the futile Twins must have a representative on the American League All-Star team has been greeted with some derision in the unkind world of social media. The All-Star rosters have been expanded to the point that adding a player from all teams isn’t quite the burden that once was the case. And even if that requirement grates on you, the Twins have been in a more difficult situation in the past in sending a player worthy of having “All- Star” on his résumé than they are at the moment. Right now, the identity of the Twins’ All-Star is an uncontested layup: Eduardo Nunez. Amidst the gloom, Nunez has been the most consistent hitter available to Paul Molitor. It did take a while for the manager to buy in to that notion. Nunez started one of the Twins’ first nine games. It would be foolish to offer that as a reason the Twins started 0-9. What it does explain is Molitor’s willingness to go away from a theory that Nunez was more valuable being used as a spare infielder to play three times a week than on a regular basis. The disastrous start and injuries to shortstop Eduardo Escobar and third baseman Trevor Plouffe put Nunez in the lineup on a regular basis. He has started 38 of the 44 games since opening the season as mostly a spectator. He has played enough to reach the required plate appearances to qualify among the American League batting leaders. Entering Thursday’s game at Target Field, Nunez was sixth in the AL at .329. Molitor went with Brian Dozier as his leadoff hitter for most of his first season as manager in 2015. When Dozier went cool after the All-Star Game, it became an issue. 2 When asked about his concerns in spring training, finding a leadoff hitter was among those Molitor would mention. The concerns became much greater once this season started, of course, but the need for a leadoff hitter still was there. Molitor even gave into the mouth-breathing, analytical nut cases and batted Joe Mauer at the top for eight games. On May 24, Molitor sat the slump-ridden Dozier and put Nunez at second base and the top of the order. Dozier returned to the lineup after a couple of days, but Nunez has moved around and stayed at the top of the order. On Thursday, Nunez was leading off for the 10th consecutive game. He started what would become a 6-4 victory for the Twins with a drive to deep right off Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore. There was a stream of sunlight interrupting the shadows in front of the Rays’ Brandon Guyer. You could see Guyer was in trouble as he backed up. He reached high and the ball ricocheted off his glove. Nunez circled the bases and was credited with an inside-the-park home run. “That’s a play I have to make,” Guyer said. “It hit my glove. There was a little glare at the end … it killed me, for the team and for Matt.” Fly balls are routinely called hits when an outfielder loses a ball in the sun. Guyer clearly was affected by that glare of sun. I’m on board with the home-run call … a well-hit ball and the first inside-the-park home run for the home team at Target Field. It was instructive to again see the wheels that Nunez — 29 later this month and in his 13th professional season — carries on the bases. He had his traditional loss of helmet as he started to make the turn at second base. Nunez was well short of third when third base coach Gene Glynn started giving the wheel to head for home. Glynn might as well, because Eduardo was flying and there’s no way he was going to pass on the chance for the inside-the-parker. First ever? “Yes,” Nunez said. Not even the minors? “No.” Not in your life? “No.” No, as in yes, Nunez’s first inside-the-parker. Nunez later had a single. He’s now batting .331. His career high for big-league at-bats was 309 with the Yankees in 2011, and he had 304 two years later. He now has 169 at-bats for the Twins — third on the team — with two-thirds of the season remaining. Nunez is an adventure in the field … always has been, always will be. He also can hit and he can run, particularly when helmet-free. If Eduardo keeps leading off and getting seven or eight hits a week, he will make a fine All-Star for the Twins. Sore back postpones Gibson's expected return to Twins La Velle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | June 3, 2016 Kyle Gibson wanted to take the ball Thursday, and he did.

  • Padding the Stats: a Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations
    Padding the Stats: A Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations Evan Hsia1, Jaewon Lee2 and Anton T. Dahbura3 Department of Computer Science Johns Hopkins University Abstract This paper presents the concept of Meaningless Game-Situations (MGS) in Major League Baseball (MLB), defined as situations in which a team has a 95% chance or greater of winning the game given the score at that particular inning in the game. We determine the run differentials for each inning that yield a 95% chance or greater of winning the game based on 2013-2016 MLB statistics and look at individual batter performances under MGS. We argue that including a split for MGS in major baseball statistical references should be considered. I. Introduction Hope springs eternal, especially in the game of baseball. But should it? Perhaps the absence of a game clock in baseball, unlike other major sports, creates the illusion that anything is possible, and in particular that one’s team can overcome even the largest of deficits, even late in the game. And, indeed, significant comebacks from behind are possible, but are so unlikely that in some cases they’re considered to be historic. For instance, in the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies on June 8, 1989 the Pirates scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning. The Pirates’ radio broadcaster, Jim Rooker, proclaimed that if the Phillies were to come back from the 10-run deficit he would “walk home”. As fate would have it, the Phillies ended up winning the game 15-11, prompting Mr.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, May 3, 2019 * The Boston Globe Opportunities squandered as White Sox walk off Peter Abraham CHICAGO — The Red Sox had a one-run lead with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night. Their pitchers to that point had retired eight in a row. When Jose Rondon grounded to third base, it should have been another step toward the first four-game win streak of the season. “That’s a routine play,” manager Alex Cora said. But no play is routine for third baseman Rafael Devers. He overran the ball and the error led to the latest gut-punch loss for the Red Sox. Nicky DelMonico’s three-run homer off Brasier gave the White Sox a 6-4 walk-off victory. It was Delmonico’s first home run of the season. It came on a high slider from Brasier after Yonder Alonso singled to left field. “I made a bad pitch and he did what he was supposed to do with it,” Brasier said. Devers sat at his locker for several minutes after the game, still in his uniform pants. He finally trudged off to the shower after many of his teammates had already left the ballpark. Devers has nine errors, the second-most in the majors. The 22-year-old, who made a nice sliding play down the line to steal a hit away from Jose Abreu in the first inning, is wildly inconsistent. He has committed 33 errors over the last two seasons.

Last season, leftfielder Yoenis Cespedes won the award as a Tiger — but he played the final two months of the season with the Mets. This season, four Tigers are finalists for the AL Gold Glove, as announced by Rawlings on Thursday: second baseman Ian Kinsler, shortstop Jose Iglesias, catcher James McCann and pitcher Justin Verlander. All but Kinsler — who despite outstanding defense the past three seasons has yet to win baseball’s top defensive honor — are first-time finalists. In 2015, Kinsler lost out to Houston’s Jose Altuve. In 2014, he fell to Boston’s Dustin Pedroia. Kinsler is a finalist with Pedroia — who is seeking his fifth Gold Glove — and Seattle’s Robinson Cano. Kinsler and Pedroia finished tied for the AL lead in Defensive Runs Saved by a second baseman this season with 12 each. Kinsler had a .988 fielding percentage, tying a career high set in 2014. Iglesias, considered one of the best fielding shortstops in the AL, is competing with Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor and the Angels’ Andrelton Simmons.
