  • Carrasco Strong, Brantley Gets Milestone in Loss Righty
    Carrasco strong, Brantley gets milestone in loss Righty cements case for 2015 staff, fanning 10 Rays By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 9/27/2014 10:27 PM ET CLEVELAND -- The Indians held out faith that Carlos Carrasco's right arm could turn him into a rotation cornerstone. For the final two months of this season, the pitcher finally seized the opportunity in overpowering fashion. On Saturday night, the Indians took the field for the first time this year without October baseball as a possibility and dropped a 2-0 decision to the Rays. A silver lining came in the form of Carrasco, who turned in another strong performance to end his season, giving the Tribe reason to be optimistic about the front end of its starting staff for the 2015. "I would say it flew past encouraging," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Carrasco's finish this season. "He's got so much to be excited about going into the offseason and into next year." Corey Kluber and Carrasco gave Cleveland one of the American League's top one-two punches in this season's second half, and both are under contract for multiple years going forward. Combined with young starters such as Danny Salazar, Trevor Bauer and T.J. House, the Indians are positioned to have a solid rotation foundation for next year. It took Carrasco until August to regain the trust required to be inserted back into the starting staff. Following a rough April, Carrasco was pulled out of the Opening Day rotation and sent to the bullpen for three-plus months.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Nov. 7, 2018 Bridich praises Black's influence on Rockies Skipper named finalist for 2018 NL Manager of Year Award Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Nov. 6th, 2018 DENVER -- Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said Tuesday manager Bud Black was the right guy at the right time for a team that had struggled with the pitching puzzle throughout its existence. Bridich, during the General Managers Meetings in Carlsbad, Calif., praised Black, who was named one of three finalists for the National League Manager of the Year Award after leading the Rockies to an unprecedented second straight postseason appearance in his two years in charge. The Rockies had devoted many of their Drafts and trades to building young starting-pitching depth. Black, who pitched 15 seasons in the Majors, replaced Walt Weiss after the 2016 season, and has reached the postseason with a mostly young rotation. In 2018, Rockies pitchers -- led by 17-game winner Kyle Freeland -- accomplished the most strikeouts (1,409) and lowest opposing batting average (.250) in club history. In an era when the first-time manager is en vogue, Black came to the Rockies after managing the Padres from 2007-15. "He was the right man, well-timed for the job at hand," Bridich said. "Whatever happened in San Diego in all those years there, the experience, perspective and everything that he's about, was exactly what he needed. The timing, what we could potentially do as a team, as an organization at the Major League level, putting him in as the manager, has ended up igniting a positive or codifying a message.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, September 10, 2019 * The Boston Globe Healthy sign: David Ortiz delivers first pitch Julian McWilliams In a wild 24 hours for the Red Sox that centered around the firing of president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski late Sunday night, for a moment, the dark clouds that hovered this year over Fenway Park cleared. David Ortiz made his first public appearance Monday evening to throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Red Sox’ series finale against the Yankees. Former Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek caught the throw. Three months to the day since he was shot in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz jogged onto the field after he was described by the park announcer as “the symbol of resilience, strength, triumph and love . our one and only, Big Papi.” Afterward, Ortiz addressed the crowd in front of the pitcher’s mound. “Good evening,” said Ortiz, who was met with cheers. “First of all, I want to thank God, for giving me a second opportunity of my life and being able to be here with all of you. I want to thank the Red Sox — my real family — they always have been there for me, supporting me no matter where I’m at. They were the first ones to support me. Thank you very much. “I want to thank all of you for all the prayers. I want to thank my former teammates for being there for me also. All of them came over to check up on your boy. “Also, I want to thank the Yankees, allowing my boys to come over and check up on Big Papi.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 10, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox-Yankees rivalry renewed and recharged Christopher L. Gasper The rivalry has been revived and so has the debate. Who is better, the Red Sox or the New York Yankees? Who is better positioned to deliver the next World Series winner from the American League East, the Red Sox or the Yankees? The Yankees, with arguably the best farm system in baseball and prospect capital the Sox can only dream of right now, look like a club with a long-term blueprint. With baseball’s highest payroll and a three-year championship window that’s in Year 2, the Red Sox look like the club with an exigent, Steinbrennerian mandate to capitalize on their talent now. Baseball’s War of the Roses resumes Tuesday at Fenway Park when the Red Sox and Yankees meet for the first time in the 2018 season — the opening game of a three-game series and the opening scene in a dramatic passion play that seems destined for an October denouement. The Red Sox and Yankees have made their rivalry fascinating and relevant again. After an offseason arms race (or bats race), escalated by the Yankees trading for Giancarlo Stanton, we finally get to measure the two teams on the field in meaningful baseball games. Baseball’s best and most intense rivalry is once again rife with subtext, subplots, intrigue, and a little animosity, stemming from last season’s smart watch-aided sign-stealing shenanigans by the Red Sox. The strong dislike between the Red Sox and Yankees emanates from the fan bases.
