By Baxter Holmes After racing in the shadows for much of the season, the Angels now find themselves in the spotlight during their American League West pennant race with the Texas Rangers. But Sunday, when the glare was upon them with a chance to sweep the New York Yankees, they blinked. Angels outfielder Peter Bourjos dropped a fly ball in the seventh inning when he lost track of it in the sun, allowing the Yankees to take the lead that Mariano Rivera held on to with his 599th save, giving the Yankees a 6-5 win at Angel Stadium. The Angels are 21/2 games behind Texas in the AL West with 16 games remaining, the next 10 of which are on the road, starting Monday with a three-game series in Oakland. "It's a play I've got to make," Bourjos said. "It was a turning point in the game, and we lost the game right there." Angels Manager Mike Scioscia wasn't too hard on the 24-year-old, who has been an excellent outfielder for the Angels this season but missed that ball and overran one in the fourth that Eric Chavez turned into a double. "This is not an easy outfield with the wind and the sun, and that ball was flying today," Scioscia said.

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Brandon Mccarthy
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Brandon McCarthy, Oakland A's offense struggle in loss to Los Angeles Angels By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune ANAHEIM -- A's starter Brandon McCarthy was left in long enough to allow 14 hits Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels. Some were dinks. Some were well-struck. They all hurt, and the Angels handed the A's an 8-3 defeat in front of 37,228 fans at Angel Stadium. That clinched the three-game series for Los Angeles and assured the A's a losing record on their seven-game road trip against American League West foes. After Jered Weaver shut them out Monday, it appeared the A's were getting their easiest assignment of the series against rookie right-hander Tyler Chatwood. The A's scraped together just six hits. After taking the lead on Conor Jackson's two-run homer in the third, the A's didn't notch another hit until Kevin Kouzmanoff's double with two outs in the ninth. "It's just one of those things we've got to put behind us and try to salvage the series," Jackson said. The A's will try to avoid a three-game sweep Wednesday against former Athletic Dan Haren, who brings a 4-1 record and 1.46 ERA into the game. McCarthy came in with a 2.10 ERA. He gave up 14 hits in 51/3 innings and left with the A's trailing 7-3. It was the most hits allowed by an A's starter since Barry Zito surrendered 15 in a July 8, 2003, game against Tampa Bay.

  • Nuclear Penalized Multinomial Regression with an Application to Predicting at Bat Outcomes in Baseball
    Nuclear penalized multinomial regression with an application to predicting at bat outcomes in baseball Scott Powers, Trevor Hastie and Robert Tibshirani July 3, 2017 Abstract We propose the nuclear norm penalty as an alternative to the ridge penalty for regularized multinomial regression. This convex relaxation of reduced-rank multinomial regression has the advantage of leveraging underlying structure among the response categories to make better pre- dictions. We apply our method, nuclear penalized multinomial regression (NPMR), to Major League Baseball play-by-play data to predict outcome probabilities based on batter-pitcher matchups. The interpretation of the results meshes well with subject-area expertise and also suggests a novel understanding of what differentiates players. 1 Introduction A baseball game comprises a sequence of matchups between one batter and one pitcher. Each matchup, or plate appearance (PA), results in one of several outcomes. Disregarding some obscure possibilities, we consider nine categories for PA outcomes: flyout (F), groundout (G), strikeout (K), base on balls (BB), hit by pitch (HBP), single (1B), double (2B), triple (3B) and home run (HR). A problem which has received a prodigious amount of attention in saber- metric (the study of baseball statistics) literature is determining the value of each of the above outcomes, as it leads to scoring runs and winning games. But that is only half the battle. Much less work in this field focuses on an equally arXiv:1706.10272v1 [stat.ML] 30 Jun 2017 important problem: optimally estimating the probabilities with which each bat- ter and pitcher will produce each PA outcome. Even for \advanced metrics" this second task is usually done by taking simple empirical proportions, perhaps shrinking them toward a population mean using a Bayesian prior.
