Atlanta Braves Clippings Sunday, May 17, 2015 Atlanta Braves Clippings Sunday, May 17, 2015 Braves.com Peterson's slam helps Braves trump Marlins By Joe Frisaro and Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @JoeFrisaro | May 16, 2015 MIAMI -- The Braves continue to have Mat Latos' number. The big number they put up against the Miami right-hander on Saturday was five runs in the second inning, with four coming on one Jace Peterson swing. Peterson's first career home run was a grand slam that propelled the Braves to a 5-3 victory and a series win over Miami at Marlins Park. "I was looking for something over the plate, and I was trying to hit it hard," Peterson said. "He threw me a fastball and I put a good swing on it." Alex Wood gave up two runs (one earned) over seven innings. The lefty surrendered a monstrous home run to Giancarlo Stanton, who followed up his two blasts on Friday with a head-scratching 478-foot blast to the second deck in center. According to Statcast™, the drive (caught barehanded by a fan) had an exit velocity of 115 mph. For the third time this season, the Braves have roughed up Latos -- who exited after three-plus innings when he was hit in the left shin by a line drive -- as he gave up five runs on eight hits. In 7 2/3 innings against Atlanta, Latos has allowed 14 earned runs (16.44 ERA). In his other five starts, his ERA is 2.73. "Big hits," said Marlins manager Mike Redmond. "They got a big hit, the grand slam, and we had some opportunities to get big hits and we haven't been able to get [them]. We had lots of opportunities with two outs. When you talk about winning ballgames and getting on rolls and streaks, you have to get those big two-out hits -- and we just haven't been able to get them." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Double turns into five-run trouble: Peterson's grand slam highlighted Atlanta's five-run second inning. The inning got rolling with Andrelton Simmons' leadoff double. On the play, Miami left fielder Ichiro Suzuki nearly threw Simmons out at second. The strong one-hop throw wasn't handled by second baseman Dee Gordon. If Gordon gained possession, he might have gotten Simmons. Instead, a big inning followed. Peterson proves he has some pop: Peterson was moved into the leadoff role on Friday because Nick Markakis was moved to the cleanup spot to account for Kelly Johnson's absence (strained oblique). The rookie second baseman had totaled two extra-base hits in 173 career plate appearances before making the most of his first home run. The grand slam he hit on Latos' first-pitch fastball helped him improve his batting average to .344 (21-for-61) over the past 17 games. Latos bruises shin: It was a rough day overall for Latos, who not only gave up a grand slam and five runs, but also exited in the fourth inning after being struck on the left shin by Cameron Maybin's hot liner. Latos and Maybin were teammates in San Diego. The comebacker was tracked at 90 mph by Statcast. Latos hobbled off the field. The Marlins say he has a left shin contusion and is day to day. "Anything from my left knee and above, I feel fine," Latos said. "It was a couple of jam shots that got through and a couple of ground balls that found holes -- and then I made the big mistake to Jace Peterson, a fastball in, and he parked it." Sixth-inning escape: After the Marlins loaded the bases with one out in the sixth inning, Wood escaped unscathed by retiring Adeiny Hechavarria and Donovan Solano. The Braves' lefty proved perfect in just one of his season-high seven innings, but limited his damage to Stanton's homer and a Gordon RBI groundout in the second inning. He notched his only strikeout when Stanton looked at a curveball to end the fifth. QUOTABLE "It's just so hard bring the winning run to the plate. As much as you want to, and as much as the numbers tell you and the whole thing, it's hard. [Marcell] Ozuna is not chopped liver. He can split the gap or run one out of the ballpark and you lose the game. You've got to talk about all of those situations." -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez on the decision to pitch to Stanton before the Marlins' slugger stranded the tying runner at second base with a game-ending flyout to shallow center. "I wasn't surprised at all. If you don't pitch to me, Ozo can hit any ball in the gap and I can score. Fastball out over the plate. You're not going to give me another one, on purpose." -- Stanton on lifting a fly ball to center for the final out and if he was he surprised to be pitched to with Ozuna on deck. SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Peterson joined Marcus Giles (2001), Barry Bonnell (1977) and Vic Correll (1974) as the only players in Atlanta history to have a grand slam account for their first career home run. INSTANT REPLAY The Marlins won a replay challenge in the eighth inning. Atlanta's Todd Cunningham tried to go from first to third on Steve Cishek's error on a pickoff attempt. But Gordon made an accurate throw to Martin Prado at third. At first, Cunningham was ruled safe. But the call was overturned after a review of 45 seconds. WHAT'S NEXT Braves: Shelby Miller will bid to extend his recent dominance on Sunday afternoon, when Atlanta attempts to complete its second three-game sweep of the season at Marlins Park. Miller has surrendered just six hits over his past 16 innings and has compiled a 1.83 ERA over his past 14 starts. Marlins: In Sunday's series finale at Marlins Park, Henderson Alvarez is being reinstated from the disabled list, and will make his first start since April 12. Miami's Opening Day starter, Alvarez has made two starts and is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA. Surprise slam continues Peterson's hot streak By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | May 16, 2015 MIAMI -- Jace Peterson has proven to be one of Atlanta's most consistent and valuable offensive contributors over the past few weeks. But there weren't many who could have expected him to do what he did for the Braves during the second inning of Saturday's 5-3 win over the Marlins. With the bases loaded and one out, Peterson turned on a Mat Latos fastball and sent it over the right-center-field wall. The game-winning shot capped a five-run second inning and made the rookie second baseman just the fourth player in Atlanta history (since 1966) to have a grand slam account for his first career home run. "Any time you can get the first one out of the way and it be a grand slam, it's awesome," Peterson said before revealing that he had never previously hit a grand slam at any level of his baseball career. After being acquired from the Padres in the December trade that sent Justin Upton to San Diego, Peterson came to Spring Training and essentially won the second-base job during the first week of the Grapefruit League season. But after getting off to a slow start during the regular season, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez opted to significantly reduce the young infielder's playing time. Fortunately for Peterson, the Braves quickly decided to get him back on the field on a regular basis. While starting each of the past 17 games, the athletic second baseman has batted .344 with a .397 on-base percentage. His success led him to be moved to the leadoff role when Nick Markakis replaced the injured Kelly Johnson in the cleanup spot on Friday. "He's a steady baseball player," Gonzalez said. "He just keeps getting better the more you run him out there." While Peterson is a steady defender who provides some offensive value with his legs, he has yet to indicate he will provide consistent power. When he notched his first extra-base hit of the season -- a double during Tuesday's loss to the Reds -- he received some good-natured ribbing from some of his Braves teammates. "We gave him some grief in Cincy when he hit that first double -- and he comes up with a big-boy knock today," Braves pitcher Alex Wood said. "It's good to see him swing the bat like he is." While Cameron Maybin and Todd Cunningham both recorded three-hit performances during Saturday's victory, Peterson took center stage with his surprising grand slam. He had totaled just 14 home runs in 1,465 Minor League at-bats, and his most recent was a three-run shot he hit for Triple-A El Paso on May 24, 2014. Marcus Giles (2001), Barry Bonnell (1977) and Vic Correll (1974) stand as the only other players in Atlanta history who have had a grand slam account for their first career home run. Giles was optioned to Triple-A Richmond a few days after gaining that distinction. Fortunately, for Peterson, he will not have to deal with that same cruel twist of fate. "I was just trying to hit the ball hard, and I had one go out," Peterson said. "I couldn't be more happy, for sure." Wood successful while 'trying to figure it out' Lefty goes season-high seven, gets win despite continuing to work through mechanics issues By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | May 16, 2015 MIAMI -- Though he once again displayed his ability to compete without his best stuff during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Marlins, Braves left- hander Alex Wood understands that he has not yet fixed all of the mechanical flaws that have influenced the struggles he has experienced this season.

  • Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics
    Implicitly Defined Baseball Statistics December 9, 2012 Joe Scott 1 Introduction Major League Baseball uses statistics to determine awards every season. The batting champion is given to the player with the highest batting average. The Cy Young Award is given to the top pitcher which is determined by many different statistics including earned run average (ERA). Batting average and ERA have been used for many years and are major statistics in baseball. Neither batting average or ERA consider the skill of the opposing pitcher or batter. Thus, every pitcher and batter is considered to have the same skill level. We develop an implicitly definded statistic that determines the skill or value of a player. The value of a batter and the value of a pitcher is based on the skill of the oppposing pitcher and batter respectively. We use linear algebra to find eigenvector solutions to the eigenvalue problem, Aλ = λx, which generates each player's statistical value. 2 Idea Consider a baseball league in which there are Nb players who bat, represented by bi for 1 ≤ i ≤ Nb. We represent the number of pitchers in the league as pj, 1 ≤ j ≤ Np where Np is the number of pitchers. Nb is defined as the number players who record an at bat during a specific season and Np is the number of players who record a pitching appearance during a season. The total number of players in the league, Ntp, is represented by the inequality Ntb ≤ Nb + Np. This inequality considers players who both hit and pitch. Since in the National League pitchers hit as well as pitch we need to add the pitchers to the total number of batters and in interleague play (which is when American League teams face National League teams in the regular season) American League pitchers bat when the National League team is home.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings November 21, 2012
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings November 21, 2012 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Pitching is pricey, transactions By John Fay | 11/20/2012 12:17 PM ET Want to know why the Reds would be wise to lock up Homer Bailey and Mat Latos long-term? The Kansas City Royals agreed to a three-year deal with Jeremy Guthrie that pays him $5 million on 2013, $11 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2015. He went 8-12 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. Bailey went 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Latos went 14-4 with a 2.48 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. It’s a bit apples and oranges: Guthrie is a free agent; Bailey is arbitration-eligible for the second time, Latos for the first. But the point is starting pitching — even mediocre starting pitching — is expensive. SIX ADDED: The Reds added right-handers Carlos Contreras, Daniel Corcino, Curtis Partch and Josh Ravin, left-hander Ismael Guillon and outfielder Yorman Rodriguez to the roster in order to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Report: Former Red Frank Pastore badly hurt in motorcycle wreck By dclark | 11/20/2012 7:55 PM ET The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin is reporting that former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Frank Pastore, a Christian radio personality in California, was badly injured Monday night after being thrown from his motorcycle onto the highway near Duarte, Calif. From dailybulletin.com’s Juliette Funes: A 55-year-old motorcyclist from Upland was taken to a trauma center when his motorcycle was hit by a car on the 210 Freeway Monday night.

    CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS OCTOBER 6, 2014 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY: OCTOBER 6, 1995 – THE REDS BEAT THE DODGERS 10-1 TO SWEEP THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Robinson: Rose doesn't belong in Hall of Fame C. Trent Rosecrans Frank Robinson was Pete Rose's teammate with the Reds for three seasons, but the two-time Most Valuable Player doesn't want Rose to be his teammate in the Hall of Fame. For the 40th anniversary of Robinson becoming the first African-American hired as a manager in Major League Baseball history, ESPN interviewed Robinson for Sunday's "Outside the Lines." According to a release from the network, Robinson was asked about several topics, including Rose. When asked by Jeremy Schaap what baseball should do with Rose, Robinson answered: "Nothing. Lifetime ban means lifetime. Pete Rose broke a sacred rule in baseball by gambling on baseball and gambling on his own team. And one time I remember hearing him say that he wasn't aware of that rule, rule 21. It's right plastered in the clubhouse of every major league team, minor league team." Robinson also had a similar stance on Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez for their suspected drug use. When asked who is baseball's all-time home run king, Robinson said, "Hank Aaron.
