    Venkataraman and Bozzella 1 Devan Venkataraman & Nathaniel Bozzella EC 107 Empirical Project Sergio Turner 12/20/20 Stolen Signs to Stolen Wins? The Trash Can Banging Scandal Heard ‘Round the World Question To what extent, and in what ways, was the Houston Astros cheating scandal in the 2017 season effective in improving team performance? Introduction For the majority of the 2010’s, the Houston Astros were a very middle of the pack team. From 2010-2014, the team did not finish higher than 4th in their division. For most of their history, the Houston Astros participated in the National League Central Division, up until the 2013 season. Since the 2013 season, the Astros have competed in the American League West Division, where they have seen much more success. In 2011, the Astros, one of the worst teams in baseball with a record of 56-106, were sold to Jim Crane where he moved on from ex-GM Ed Wade, and hired Jeff Luhnow two days after the sale. While Ed Wade made some good decisions: debuting Jose Altuve in the 2011 season and drafting George Springer in the 2011 draft, his overall performance was not satisfactory for the new owner. The new GM, Jeff Luhnow, made some notable decisions as well, drafting Carlos Correa in the 2012 draft (debuting him in 2015) and drafting Alex Bregman in the 2015 draft (debuting him in the 2017 season). After another few unsuccessful seasons with records of 55-107, 51-111, and 70-92 in the 2012-2014 seasons, Jeff Luhnow decided to fire the current manager of the team, whom he had a Venkataraman and Bozzella 2 falling out with towards the end of the 2014 season.

  • Lindor's 33Rd HR Sets Tribe Middle-INF Record by Jordan
    Lindor's 33rd HR sets Tribe middle-INF record By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | September 23rd, 2017 + 1 COMMENT SEATTLE -- As Francisco Lindor sprinted around third base, the Indians' shortstop turned to look at the third-base dugout at Safeco Field. While his teammates cheered and pounded the rail, Lindor's eyes went wide and he dropped his jaw. Maybe he is even surprised by what he is doing right now. The leadoff home run that Lindor launched to open Saturday's game lit the spark on an 11-4 romp over the Mariners. The shortstop has been bursting with energy of late and setting a torrid tone atop the lineup, but manager Terry Francona has wanted to give him a breather. They compromised with a day spent as the designated hitter, and keeping his bat in the mix proved important once again.Full Game Coverage "I'm fine," said Lindor, who flashed the smile that's seemingly becoming more famous by the day. "There's no point to having an off-day when we've got another one on Monday." The home run was Lindor's 33rd of the season, giving him the most in a single season by a middle infielder in franchise history. The previous mark of 32 was set by Hall of Famer Joe Gordon in 1948, when the Indians last won the World Series. Cleveland can only hope that a footnote such as that one is offering a bit of foreshadowing, because Lindor is hoping to help the Tribe end that championship drought. Lindor has done more than his part of late.

  • CLIPS Friday, April 01, 2011
    FLORIDA MARLINS, LP CLIPS Friday, April 01, 2011 Fresh Opening Day faces for Mets, Marlins Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com MIAMI -- This is when we'll finally begin to see how much change has really paid off. After several years of playoff absences, the respective front offices of the Mets and Marlins felt a switch at manager was necessary last year. Terry Collins of the Mets and Edwin Rodriguez of the Marlins will begin their respective quests to transform a culture and build success when they face each another on Friday, when Sun Life Stadium hosts its final Opening Day at 7:10 p.m. ET. The matchup between the two National League East rivals will feature the Mets' Mike Pelfrey and the Marlins' Josh Johnson, and it will signal the start of the final season before Florida moves into its highly anticipated retractable-roof stadium in 2012. For Rodriguez, who took the job when Fredi Gonzalez -- now with the Braves -- was dismissed on June 23, this will be his first Opening Day as a big league manager. For Collins, who last managed the Angels in 1999, it's his first in a long time. "This is the ultimate position to be in," Collins said, "and it's great to be back." The Mets -- apparently fed up with missing out on the playoffs for four straight years -- opted to start fresh this offseason, replacing general manager Omar Minaya with Sandy Alderson and Jerry Manuel with Collins. Then, toward the end of Spring Training, they cut ties with mercurial pitcher Oliver Perez and second baseman Luis Castillo -- two players symbolic of the Mets' recent underachievement.

  • {PDF EPUB} Super Sunday in Newport Notes from My First Year in Town by Matt Love the Oldest League You Never Knew About
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Super Sunday in Newport Notes from My First Year in Town by Matt Love The oldest league you never knew about. Unforgiving dimensions, an on-field pub and 100 years of history. "I, for myself, think this field is haunted," Commissioner Chris La Rose tells me as he leans back in the century-old perch behind home plate. "In a good way. You walk around here and all the lights are off and it's dark, I can hear the old ballpark sounds, the sounds of old ballplayers." "Hey, Chris!" a team manager suddenly yells from the field. "We have five runs, not three!" "OK -- OK yeah, calm down," La Rose mutters back. "I'm trying to figure out this new scoreboard," he says to me, shaking his head. La Rose changes the score and quickly flips on Van Halen's "Runnin' with the Devil" for the break between innings, tapping his foot with the beat. Newport, R.I., is an old town, but Cardines Field -- named for the first Newport native killed in World War I -- somehow feels even older. Its beautiful green wooden grandstand -- standing in place since 1919 -- sticks out on America's Cup Avenue like it's been dropped there in a time machine, across the street from a large Marriott Hotel. The outfield fence, although raised in recent years to protect homes, has also been the same for 100 seasons -- about 280-290 feet down both the left- and right-field lines, 400 to dead-center and then, to perhaps just drive outfielders absolutely insane, jutting back out to 315 feet in both right and left-center field.

  • Acknowledgements
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Anne Preston for her continued support and guidance not only on this thesis but also in her classes. I would also like to thank the Economics Department of Haverford College for its support over the past four years. Additionally, I would like to thank my fellow classmates for their assistance and help both on this project and throughout our experience together at Haverford. 1 Abstract This is an investigation into and analysis of Major League Baseball General Managers from 1995-2005. Its aim is to evaluate General Managers based on the performance of the teams they create. It is also meant to put General Managers under the public microscope, a place which has previously been reserved for players, managers, and owners. The hypotheses include that there is a strong positive correlation between dollars spent per team win and the likelihood of being fired. Probit regression analysis demonstrated that many variables have significant effects on the probability of a General Manager being fired. This thesis concludes that team increases in team wins and making the playoffs all decrease the likelihood of firings. It also concludes that increases in dollars spent per team, GM Tenure, and GM Experience increase the likelihood of a General Manager being fired. 2 Table of Contents I. Introduction 4 II.
