  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, June 18, 2010 Oakland A's Bullpen Lets Dallas Braden Down in Late Loss to Chicago Cubs by Joe Stiglich
    A’s News Clips, Friday, June 18, 2010 Oakland A's bullpen lets Dallas Braden down in late loss to Chicago Cubs By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Dallas Braden was lined up for a well-deserved win, and the A's were poised to leave the Windy City with a series victory. That script never played out on a picturesque Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Oakland's bullpen laid an egg in the late innings, and Kosuke Fukudome's walk-off RBI single off Jerry Blevins in the bottom of the ninth gave the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 victory in front of 36,942 fans. "That's a tough way to lose," A's second baseman Mark Ellis said. "Give (the Cubs) credit. They had some good at-bats there at the end." This one had to sting on several fronts for the A's. They could have carried some momentum into St. Louis as they begin a challenging weekend series against the Cardinals tonight. Instead, they watched the Cubs win their first series since taking two of three from the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 25-27. Oakland also spoiled an excellent start from Braden, who threw six innings of one-run ball and left with a lead but still hasn't found the win column since his May 9 perfect game. "Dallas pitched so hard. He gave us a chance," manager Bob Geren said. With the first-place Texas Rangers gathering steam, the A's have lost 11 of their past 16 and are a season-high six games out in the American League West.

  • Padding the Stats: a Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations
    Padding the Stats: A Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations Evan Hsia1, Jaewon Lee2 and Anton T. Dahbura3 Department of Computer Science Johns Hopkins University Abstract This paper presents the concept of Meaningless Game-Situations (MGS) in Major League Baseball (MLB), defined as situations in which a team has a 95% chance or greater of winning the game given the score at that particular inning in the game. We determine the run differentials for each inning that yield a 95% chance or greater of winning the game based on 2013-2016 MLB statistics and look at individual batter performances under MGS. We argue that including a split for MGS in major baseball statistical references should be considered. I. Introduction Hope springs eternal, especially in the game of baseball. But should it? Perhaps the absence of a game clock in baseball, unlike other major sports, creates the illusion that anything is possible, and in particular that one’s team can overcome even the largest of deficits, even late in the game. And, indeed, significant comebacks from behind are possible, but are so unlikely that in some cases they’re considered to be historic. For instance, in the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies on June 8, 1989 the Pirates scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning. The Pirates’ radio broadcaster, Jim Rooker, proclaimed that if the Phillies were to come back from the 10-run deficit he would “walk home”. As fate would have it, the Phillies ended up winning the game 15-11, prompting Mr.
