  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Oct. 29, 2018 Rockies decline Parra's option for 2019 Do-Hyoung Park | MLB.com | Oct. 30th, 2018 The Rockies have declined a $12 million club option on outfielder Gerardo Parra for the 2019 season, exercising a $1.5 million buyout on Tuesday to make him a free agent. Parra appeared in 142 games in 2018 but started only 97 of them as a platoon outfielder, primarily in left field. He hit .284/.342/.372 in the final year of a three-year, $27.5 million contract inked prior to the 2016 season. The two-time National League Gold Glove Award winner lost playing time toward the end of the regular season when David Dahl returned from injury and Matt Holliday made his return to Colorado in August. The left-handed-hitting Parra, 31, struggled to live up to expectations in his first year with Colorado in 2016, hitting .253 with a .671 OPS, but he rebounded in '17 with career highs in average (.309) and RBIs (71). He spent the first five-plus seasons of his 10-year career with the D-backs before brief stints with Milwaukee and Baltimore prior to his arrival in Denver. Still, the Rockies will entertain the idea of agreeing to a less expensive deal with Parra, who showed value as a pinch- hitter this season by batting .393/.433/.536 with one homer, one double and two walks in 30 plate appearances. Franchise mainstay Carlos Gonzalez and Holliday are also free agents again for the Rockies. Colorado has two starting outfield positions locked up for 2019 between Dahl and three-time All-Star Charlie Blackmon, who in April was extended through the '21 season with player options for '22 and '23.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, September 6, 2009 Pennington's Bat
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, September 6, 2009 Pennington's bat comes alive in A's 9-5 win over Mariners By Curtis Pashelka, OAKLAND TRIBUNE Cliff Pennington hasn't had many problems on defense since the A's recalled him from Triple-A Sacramento on July 31. And maybe the offensive side of his game just needed some time to catch up. Pennington's two-run home run in the third inning started a four-run rally as the A's went on to snap a two-game losing streak with a 9-5 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday at the Oakland Coliseum. Pennington finished the game 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI as the A's, with the help of three scoreless innings from their bullpen before the ninth, beat the Mariners for just the fourth time in 15 tries this season. "I've been scuffling a little bit at the plate the last 10 days, but I actually felt really good throughout that stretch," Pennington said. "It was just a matter of getting good pitches to hit and putting good swings on them." The A's made Pennington their everyday shortstop when they traded Orlando Cabrera to Minnesota at the end of July. Pennington responded by playing error-free defense for all of August before he was charged with an error in the ninth inning of Friday's game. Pennington also initially swung the bat well as he hit .320 in his first 14 games. Since then, though, Pennington has batted .161 (10-for-62) and came into Saturday on an 0-for-11 streak before his third homer of the year cut Seattle's lead to 3-2.
