Kipnis' Slam Powers Tribe, Lowe to Victory by Justin Albers / MLB Kipnis' slam powers Tribe, Lowe to victory By Justin Albers / MLB.com | 6/1/2012 11:50 PM ET CLEVELAND -- The Indians desperately needed somebody -- anybody -- to solidify the starting rotation and give them a quality start. Once again, it was Derek Lowe to the rescue. Pitching on his 39th birthday, Lowe took a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning and helped the Indians to a 7-1 win against the Twins in the first game of a three-game series Friday night at Progressive Field. It was Lowe's team-leading seventh win of the season, a year after going 9- 17 for Atlanta. Lowe, who was rocked for eight runs in 2 1/3 innings last Saturday in Chicago, knew he had to quickly put the bad outing behind him and move on. Everybody in the rotation had been hit hard their last time around. To dwell on the past, Lowe said, would set him up for future failure. "There was no panic," Lowe said. "In years past, I would have probably tried to look back too much at the last game. You just understand that, don't try and watch video to figure it out. Just admit that you did bad." Lowe got plenty of help from his offense -- which produced seven runs in the first four innings -- but he gave the Indians a chance by keeping the Twins off the board early. Once the Cleveland bats started coming around with a Lonnie Chisenhall two-run home run in the second inning, Lowe's job became a lot easier. "We've just had a tough time hitting him," said Twins shortstop Brian Dozier. "He's a veteran. He knows what to do. He had his sinker again tonight. When you can spot up as good as he did, it doesn't really matter how it sinks." After Chisenhall hit his second homer in four games since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Michael Brantley made it 3-0 in the third with an RBI double. Chisenhall got another rally going in the fourth when he singled, and the bases were loaded for Jason Kipnis after Lou Marson walked and Shin-Soo Choo blooped a single to center. Minnesota pitching coach Rick Anderson made a trip to the mound to try and calm starter Carl Pavano down, giving Kipnis time to think about the upcoming at-bat. "He throws that changeup a lot and he's gotten me to roll over a lot of times," Kipnis said. "With guys on, I figured he was going to his offspeed, so I wanted to make sure that I saw it up if he was coming with it." Pavano did come with it, Kipnis did see it up, and he didn't miss it. The Indians' second baseman blasted his first career grand slam to the bleachers in right-center field, his team-leading ninth home run of the season. All of a sudden, an Indians offense that had been close to dead in the final two games against Kansas City on Wednesday and Thursday was very much alive. Chisenhall and Kipnis, two young players around the infield, provided a combined five hits and six RBIs in the offensive breakout. "We've been talking about these kids being part of our future," manager Manny Acta said. "We are pretty sure these two guys are going to be main guys here for awhile. These guys are going to be the core of this ballclub for years to come. I'm glad that people are starting to see that we're not just talking up these guys to talk them up. They're pretty good. They can be good players here." But it all goes back to Lowe. Unlike most of Cleveland's starting pitchers during the team's slide, Lowe gave the Indians a chance. When they faced big deficits early against the White Sox and Royals, the energy was essentially zapped from the lineup. "He was huge for us, especially since he didn't make us play catch-up baseball," Acta said. "We're human. Regardless of what people say about the energy level, it's always better when the game is 0-0 and you have a chance to get the lead instead of having to mount a five-run rally." Much like he did against the Twins in a complete game shutout on May 15, Lowe cruised for much of the night. He sent the Twins down in order in three of the first six innings and he got two inning-ending double plays. Nothing could faze Lowe -- not even a hard-hit line drive that hit directly off his right calf in the second inning. "That's kind of a sensitive area," Acta said. "Those really hurt back there, but he didn't even flinch. He just told us to go back into the dugout, that he was fine." Lowe collected the ball and threw to second on the play to get the lead runner. "Not at all," Lowe said when asked if it bothered him. "Being a ground ball pitcher, we get hit all the time. I'm not really the most fleet of foot, so I couldn't really get out of the way." Lowe only ran into trouble in the seventh when he gave up three hits and a run before being removed from the game. He could have gotten out of the inning after only one hit and no runs, but he dropped a throw from Asdrubal Cabrera when covering first. "I was trying to win the ERA title," Lowe joked, "but I guess that's out the window."

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

  • Peter Gammons: the Cleveland Indians, Best Run Team in Professional Sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—T
    Peter Gammons: The Cleveland Indians, best run team in professional sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—The Cleveland Indians have won 454 games the last five years, 22 more than the runner-up Boston Red Sox. In those years, the Indians spent $414M less in payroll than Boston, which at the start speaks volumes about how well the Indians have been run. Two years ago, they got to the tenth inning of an incredible World Series game 7, in a rain delay. Last October they lost an agonizing 5th game of the ALDS to the Yankees, with Corey Kluber, the best pitcher in the American League hurt. They had a 22 game winning streak that ran until September 15, their +254 run differential was 56 runs better than the next best American League team (Houston), they won 102 games, they led the league in earned run average, their starters were 81-38 and they had four players hit between 29 and 38 homers, including 29 apiece from the left side of their infield, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. And they even drew 2.05M (22nd in MLB) to the ballpark formerly known as The Jake, the only time in this five year run they drew more than 1.6M or were higher than 28th in the majors. That is the reality they live with. One could argue that in terms of talent and human player development, the growth of young front office talent (6 current general managers and three club presidents), they are presently the best run organization in the sport, especially given their financial restraints.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.
