Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings June 2, 2015 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1921-Pat Duncan hits the first home run over the fence at Redland Field. The ball strikes a startled policeman standing on York Street. MLB.COM Slugging Frazier wins NL weekly honors Reds third baseman hit four homers and led MLB hitters with .500 average By Adam Berry / MLB.com Reds third baseman Todd Frazier took home his first National League Player of the Week Award on Monday. Frazier led all Major League hitters last week by hitting .500 (11-for-22) while leading the NL with a 1.227 slugging percentage and 27 total bases over six games. Frazier's four home runs were tied with Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado and Mets first baseman Lucas Duda for the most in the NL. He also ranked among the league leaders in doubles (four, tied for first), on-base percentage (.560, second), hits (11, tied for second) and RBIs (seven, tied for third). With Frazier leading the way, the Reds pulled off a three-game sweep of the Nationals over the weekend. He went a combined 8- for-12 with two homers and three RBIs in that series, capped off by a three-hit, two-RBI performance in Sunday's 8-2 win at Great American Ball Park. Frazier ended the week on a four-game hitting streak, all of them multihit outings, as he became the first Cincinnati player to win a weekly award this season. The 2014 All-Star currently ranks second in the NL behind Washington's Bryce Harper with 16 homers, and Frazier's .624 slugging percentage ranks third behind Harper and D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Reds eye top talent with eye toward pitching Cincinnati, picking at No. 11, likely to opt for best player available in Draft By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com / [email protected] / @m_sheldon CINCINNATI -- The 2015 Draft will take place from Monday, June 8, through Wednesday, June 10, beginning with the Draft preview show on MLB.com and MLB Network on Monday at 6 p.m. ET. Live Draft coverage from MLB Network's Studio 42 begins at 7 p.m., with the top 75 picks being streamed on MLB.com and broadcast on MLB Network. MLB.com's exclusive coverage of Day 2 begins with a live Draft show at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, with exclusive coverage of Day 3 beginning at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. MLB.com's coverage includes Draft Central, the Top 200 Draft Prospects list and Draft Tracker, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of over 1,700 Draft-eligible players. Every selection will be tweeted live from @MLBDraftTracker, and you can also keep up to date by following @MLBDraft. And get into the Draft conversation by tagging your tweets with #mlbdraft. Here's how the Draft is shaping up for the Reds, whose first selection is the 11th overall pick. In about 50 words This will be the 10th time that the Reds have been led in the Draft by senior director of amateur scouting Chris Buckley. Since 2006, Buckley and his team of scouts have crisscrossed the country in the weeks and months before the Draft looking for potential talent. The scoop The 11th pick is the highest spot the Reds have had in the Draft since they used the eighth pick in 2009 to take Mike Leake. Cincinnati has never previously drafted in the 11th spot. The team will have the 49th overall pick (in Round 2) and also owns the 71st overall pick (in Compensation Round B). The 2015 class, according to MLB.com columnist Jim Callis, isn't thick with top-of-the-Draft talent or many position players, but it does have an abundance of potential first-round shortstops. Teams could challenge the four-time record of seven shortstops picked in the first round, which last happened in 2002. First-round buzz In some of the recent mock drafts by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo and Callis, the Reds have been linked to high school outfielder Kyle Tucker. The Tampa, Fla., product is the brother of Astros prospect Preston Tucker, who was recently called up to the big leagues. Meanwhile, Baseball America likes the Reds to take a college outfielder who might bring some added local interest in Andrew Benintendi from the University of Arkansas. Benintendi is a Cincinnati native and a Madeira High School graduate. Money matters Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team has an allotted bonus pool equal to the sum of the values of that club's selections in the first 10 rounds of the Draft. The more picks a team has, and the earlier it picks, the larger the pool. The signing bonuses for a team's selections in the first 10 rounds, plus any bonus greater than $100,000 for a player taken after the 10th round, will apply toward the bonus-pool total. Any team going up to 5 percent over its allotted pool will be taxed at a 75 percent rate on the overage. A team that overspends by 5- 10 percent gets a 75 percent tax plus the loss of a first-round pick. A team that goes 10-15 percent over its pool amount will be hit with a 100 percent penalty on the overage and the loss of a first- and second-round pick. Any overage of 15 percent or more gets a 100 percent tax plus the loss of first-round picks in the next two Drafts. The Reds have 11 picks in the first 10 rounds, for a total bonus pool of $7,777,900 that ranks eighth in the league. Their 11th overall pick has a slot value of $3,141,600. Shopping list In 10 years of drafting, Buckley has never wavered from the policy of picking the best available player, regardless of the round of the selection. Because of the unpredictability in Drafts and the number of years often required for development, it makes little sense to pick according to the current needs at the big league level. The Reds often place a premium on drafting pitchers, since it's the position with the biggest risk of attrition in injury and performance. Last June, 23 of their 41 picks were pitchers. In 2013, 21 of Cincinnati's 41 Draft picks were also pitchers. Trend watch The Reds love taking talent out of college, in part because of the lower bonus value tied to most collegiate players. In the 11 picks between Rounds 1-10 in 2014, Cincinnati selected nine college players. Of the 41 players the Reds took last year, 27 were from the college level. RECENT DRAFT HISTORY Rising fast A supplemental first-round pick (49th overall) in 2012, outfielder Jesse Winker is the Reds' No. 2 prospect, according to MLBPipeline.com. Although Winker is off to a slow start at Double-A Pensacola, he was an invite to big league camp at Spring Training for the first time this year and could be a September callup if he turns in a strong summer. Cinderella story Taken in the 33rd round of the 2011 Draft, outfielder Steve Selsky reached Triple-A Louisville this season and is enjoying a nice year at the plate. In the show The Reds have several homegrown players on the current team, including former first-rounders Jay Bruce, Homer Bailey, Leake and Devin Mesoraco and second-rounders Joey Votto, Zack Cozart and Billy Hamilton. The Reds' recent top picks 2014: Nick Howard, RHP, Class A Advanced Daytona 2013: Phillip Ervin, OF, Class A Advanced Daytona 2012: Nick Travieso, RHP, Class A Advanced Daytona 2011: Robert Stephenson, RHP, Double-A Pensacola 2010: Yasmani Grandal, C, Dodgers CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Todd Frazier named National League Player of the Week By David Clark / Cincinnati Enquirer Reds third baseman Todd Frazier was named National League Player of the Week, the first such award of his career, according to the Reds. Frazier led all National League batters last week in hitting (.500) and slugging (1.227) and tied for the NL lead in doubles (4) and HR (4) while ranking second in on-base percentage (.560) and tying for third in hits (11) and RBI (7). It is the first Player of the Week award won by a Reds player this season. In May, Frazier hit .327 with nine homers. His OPS was 1.081. This season, Frazier is hitting .287 with 16 homers and 31 RBIs. He was an All-Star in 2014. Reds' big weekend doesn't change plan By John Fay / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] / @Johnfayman Friday night - after he had his little talk with Bryce Harper, after the Reds had come back to beat the Washington Nationals, after he had likened losing his swing to losing his wallet - that great baseball philosopher Joey Votto talked about what the Reds had to do to get back in the race. "We have to be competitive when we're down," Votto said. "We have to always be on the attack. We need to come out with more wins. It hasn't been a very good month for us. The only way we do that is having games like tonight, over and over and over again. "That's the only chance we have." The Reds did it again Saturday and Sunday, competing the three-game sweep of the Nationals. The sweep came immediately after the Reds had lost 10 of 11. The general consensus was that the Reds were a fire sale waiting to happen.

The Reds lose to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, before a sellout crowd of 42,343 MLB.COM Get the season started with 30 cool Statcast stats for 30 teams MLB.com analyst Mike Petriello looks back at the some of the best Statcast findings in the inaugural year of the new analysis tool By Mike Petriello / MLB.com | @mike_petriello | March 30th, 2016 + 0 COMMENTS This marks the second season of Statcast™, and that means we have an entire season of data about exit velocity, spin rate, extension, arm strength, lead distance, launch angle and just about anything else you can think of, for every team. Let's get the season started in style by running down an interesting Statcast™ stat for each team -- in many cases, something that never could have been measured prior to 2015. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Blue Jays: 1.07 seconds: Ryan Goins' baseball-leading exchange time, which is a way to measure the time that elapses between a fielder receiving the ball and releasing the throw. What that means is that no infielder in the game managed to get rid of the ball as quickly as Goins did, which makes sense given his stellar defensive reputation. Orioles: 82.2 mph: Darren O'Day's average exit velocity against on four-seam fastballs, the second lowest among 407 pitchers who threw at least 100 of them. Despite averaging just 88 mph on his otherwise unimposing fastball, O'Day's swing-and-miss rate of 36.8 percent was better than every pitcher other than Aroldis Chapman, and the hitters that did make contact against O'Day's funky sidearm delivery failed to make good contact, leading to a .097 average against it.

    The Poetics of Baseball: an American Domestication of the Mathematically Sublime

    The Poetics of Baseball: An American Domestication of the Mathematically Sublime (to the memory of my father) Brian G. Caraher The strange congruence of baseball and poetics has something arresting, persuasive and peculiarly American about it. There are certainly innumerable poems about the game. Yet a theory of baseball as a game that approximates the pleasures and gratifications of poetic design and play has scarcely been pursued. I would like to claim that the sport of baseball involves more than a game of chance. Indeed my contention will be that a consistent, satisfying design and a coherent, cogent poetics can be disclosed at play within the various movements and measures of the game. This poetics, moreover, can best be judged as a homely and American version of the mathematically sublime. In general, the game of baseball pivots upon the enumeration of specific acts and events: balls, strikes, outs, hits, bases, runs, innings and so on. Baseball, furthermore, appears to offer a deceptively simple yet sensually gratifying intuition of such enumeration as it reaches toward a state of absolute magnitude, toward a perpetually youthful image of boundlessness. In other words, the game of baseball with its various enumerable actions captures a sense of being beyond enumeration, of being boundless and unbounded. This curious sense of what I choose to call the mathematically sublime depends upon a compact design that Illustration: Play BaU by Michael Langenstein, 1982.

They ended the 1902 season with an impressive won-loss record of 81-43-1 (.653).

Front row left to right – Day and Peter Burns) Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter (1866-1944) was the co-founder and owner of the “original” Philadelphia Giants baseball team that played from 1902-1911. From 1904 to 1909 the Philadelphia Giants were one of the best if not the best black baseball team in America. They won four straight “Colored World’s Championships” from 1904-1907. Schlichter started his professional career in journalism. Eventually he became the sports editor and a featured sports writer for the Philadelphia Evening Item in Philadelphia, PA. Walter was not only a journalist but also an avid sportsman. He participated and excelled in swimming, running, boxing and rowing. In his landmark book, Sol White’s History of Colored Baseball with Other Documents on the Early Black Game 1886-1936, White presented a copy of a newspaper article that he had written for the Amsterdam News (New York City) on December 18, 1930.

    FRAMING THE GAME THROUGH A SABERMETRIC LENS: MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL BROADCASTS AND THE DELINEATION OF TRADITIONAL AND NEW FACT METRICS by ZACHARY WILLIAM ARTH ANDREW C. BILLINGS, COMMITTEE CHAIR DARRIN J. GRIFFIN SCOTT PARROTT JAMES D. LEEPER KENON A. BROWN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Zachary William Arth 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i ABSTRACT This purpose of this dissertation was to first understand how Major League Baseball teams are portraying and discussing statistics within their local broadcasts. From there, the goal was to ascertain how teams differed in their portrayals, with the specific dichotomy of interest being between teams heavy in advanced statistics and those heavy in traditional statistics. With advanced baseball statistics still far from being universally accepted among baseball fans, the driving question was whether or not fans that faced greater exposure to advanced statistics would also be more knowledgeable and accepting of them. Thus, based on the results of the content analysis, fans of four of the most advanced teams and four of the most traditional teams were accessed through MLB team subreddits and surveyed. Results initially indicated that there was no difference between fans of teams with advanced versus traditional broadcasts. However, there were clear differences in knowledge based on other factors, such as whether fans had a new school or old school orientation, whether they were high in Schwabism and/or mavenism, and how highly identified they were with the team.

    Christopher Brown and Casey Shearer

    1/30/98 Wag the Buffalo A smokin’ Super Bowl A man is made in defeat. Brett Favre has to learn to take losses with only half doses of drugs. By: Christopher Brown and Casey Shearer January 25, 1998. Mark the date down in stone and remember, or get stoned and forget. Ladies and gentlemen, the impossible has happened. What, did Chris pick up a girl? Are all of Casey’s teeth real? No my friends, the AFC has won a Super Bowl. In a matchup that was anything but a par performance, the Broncos proved that one should never bet against a team in the Super Bowl with a running back from San Diego’s Lincoln High Schol. Terrel Davis joined Marcus Allen of the ‘84/’85 Raiders (the last AFL team to win the game) to become the second Lincoln grad to win the Super Bowl MVP. Sense a pattern here? Lincoln has been beset by scouts from AFC teams hoping to find the secret ingredient in the winning Super Bowl soup. Believe it or not, Ripley, the Broncos finally won the Super Bowl, 31-24, and it was all about Terrell Davis and not Gerald Wilhyte and Sammy Winder. And for that reason the majority of this Super Bowl analysis will focus not on real sports news, but instead on... Who Cut the Cheese? “John”. “Way” . “John” . “John” . “El” . “John” . “El” . “Way.” Ribbit. No way ferret. You can’t beat these frogs. No hired collection of green and yellow, drug snortin’ thugs is going to do in the unconquerable.
