  • Major League Baseball's I-Team
    Major League Baseball’s I-Team The I-Team is composed of players whose names contain enough unique letters to spell the team(s) for which they played. To select the team, the all-time roster for each franchise was compared to both its current name as well as the one in use when each player was a member of the team. For example, a member of the Dodgers franchise would be compared to both that moniker (regardless of the years when they played) as well as alternate names, such as the Robins, Superbas, Bridegrooms, etc., if they played during seasons when those other identities were used. However, if a franchise relocated and changed its name, the rosters would only be compared to the team name used when each respective player was a member. Using another illustration, those who played for the Senators from 1901 to 1960 were not compared to the Twins name, and vice versa. Finally, the most common name for each player was used (as determined by baseball- reference.com’s database). For example, Whitey Ford was used, not Edward Ford.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, May 6, 2021 * The Boston Globe Red Sox left all wet, going from near walkoff to extra-inning loss vs. Tigers Alex Speier They did it again, or so it seemed for an instant. A Red Sox team that has made a habit of comeback victories in the first five weeks of 2021 seemed poised to conjure another. Down two against the Tigers in the bottom of the seventh, the team knotted the score on a J.D. Martinez two-run homer, then edged towards a walk-off triumph with a ninth-inning rally. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Xander Bogaerts drilled a liner to left-center that seemed destined to kiss the Fenway turf and allow the Red Sox to dance onto the field. Instead, left fielder Robbie Grossman fought through raindrops and the lights, falling as he corralled the final out of the inning. Minutes later, the Tigers ambushed Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock for a three- run 10th, just enough to withstand a furious Red Sox rally in the bottom of the inning and hold on for a 6-5 victory. Though the Red Sox continue to occupy first place in the AL East, their current stretch represents a string of missed opportunities. The team has dropped four of six to the last-place Rangers and Tigers, the latter of whom snapped a six-game losing streak on Wednesday. ”We’re not invincible,” said starter Martín Pérez. “[But] we’re going to be fine.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings June 23, 2010 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Reds go for sweep of A's Arroyo's quality outing stifles Oakland By John Fay June 22, 2010 OAKLAND – The road trip from hell is suddenly salvageable. The Reds defeated the Oakland A’s 4-2 Tuesday night before a crowd of 12,136 at Oakland-Alameda Stadium. The second win in a row here puts the Reds at 2-3 on the trip heading into Wednesday afternoon’s trip finale. “In years past, things got away from us,” starter Bronson Arroyo said. “When you get swept like we did in Seattle, you take the mindset that you have to take two of three from these guys. If we can take one more, we’ll feel great about going 50-50 on the road trip.” Bronson Arroyo pitched eight quality innings. He allowed two runs on five hits. He walked none and struck out one. “It was good,” said Arroyo, who improved to 7-3 overall and 7-1 in his last 11 starts. said. “My change-up was good. My sinker was moving a ton that gave me a chance to get some groundballs.” Arroyo threw 105 pitches. He was more than willing to turn the game over to Francisco Cordero. “I told them I was done,” Arroyo said. “I had used up my reserve. I felt like Coco had a better opportunity to get those lefties out with his power arm. They had been seeing me all night. I really didn’t mix it up. I didn’t feel like I could command the inner half of the plate to the lefties.” Closer Francisco Cordero, the night after his fifth blown save, pitched the ninth his 18th save.

  • Weekly Notes 080318
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2018 HISTORY UP NORTH In an away tilt on July 29th against the Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays infi elder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. collected three hits to go along with a pair of RBI to lead the Blue Jays to a 7-4 victory. Posting his third consecutive outing with at least two hits and two RBI, the Cuban native tied Josh Donaldson (September 15-17, 2017) for the second-longest such streak in Blue Jays history. Two-time All-Star John Olerud recorded a streak of four straight games from June 21-25, 1990 to pace the franchise. In addition, the multi-hit eff ort extended his career-best hitting streak to 11 games dating back to July 11th. Gurriel, who tallied at least two hits in each contest during his streak, established a new franchise record for the most consecutive multi-hit outings, eclipsing the previous mark set by fi ve-time All-Star Tony Fernández (June 18-27, 1986). The 24-year-old became just the sixth player since at least 1908 to post a multi-hit streak of at least 11 games in a single season, joining Hall of Famers Rogers Hornsby, Tony Perez, Paul Waner and Sam Rice, as well as Shoeless Joe Jackson. Moreover, the right-handed-hitting slugger became the fi rst rookie in Major League history to accomplish the feat. Over the course of his outstanding month, Gurriel, who earned AL Rookie of the Month honors for July, tallied at least one hit in every game he started (16) and fi nished the month with a .423/.438/.648 slash line.
