* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, April 10, 2018 * The Boston Globe Red Sox-Yankees rivalry renewed and recharged Christopher L. Gasper The rivalry has been revived and so has the debate. Who is better, the Red Sox or the New York Yankees? Who is better positioned to deliver the next World Series winner from the American League East, the Red Sox or the Yankees? The Yankees, with arguably the best farm system in baseball and prospect capital the Sox can only dream of right now, look like a club with a long-term blueprint. With baseball’s highest payroll and a three-year championship window that’s in Year 2, the Red Sox look like the club with an exigent, Steinbrennerian mandate to capitalize on their talent now. Baseball’s War of the Roses resumes Tuesday at Fenway Park when the Red Sox and Yankees meet for the first time in the 2018 season — the opening game of a three-game series and the opening scene in a dramatic passion play that seems destined for an October denouement. The Red Sox and Yankees have made their rivalry fascinating and relevant again. After an offseason arms race (or bats race), escalated by the Yankees trading for Giancarlo Stanton, we finally get to measure the two teams on the field in meaningful baseball games. Baseball’s best and most intense rivalry is once again rife with subtext, subplots, intrigue, and a little animosity, stemming from last season’s smart watch-aided sign-stealing shenanigans by the Red Sox. The strong dislike between the Red Sox and Yankees emanates from the fan bases. To say the two organizations detest each other is hyperbolic, but to say they distrust each other and enjoy needling the other is not. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman called the Red Sox the Golden State Warriors of baseball after they acquired Chris Sale. Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski intimated that Cashman tattled when he went straight to Major League Baseball with the Yankees sign-stealing concerns instead of confronting his Boston counterpart. As enjoyable as it has been to watch the Red Sox compile the best nine-game start in franchise history (8-1) against two teams with marine monikers that are happily existing in a tank, now we get to see how they stack up against a contender. The two effete Florida teams, the Tampa Bay Rays and Derek Jeter’s Miami Marlins, are much closer to the Pawtucket Red Sox than the Pinstripes. Last year was the first time since the Sox’ great collapse of 2011 that the ancient adversaries were legitimate World Series contenders concurrently. The Red Sox have won the last two American League East titles, but, mirroring the history of the rivalry, it feels like the Red Sox are chasing the Yankees. The Yankees took the season-series last year, 11-8, and outscored the Sox, 82-59. The Bronx Bombers are the ones who were one win away from playing in the World Series. The Red Sox have won one playoff game the last two seasons. The Yankees are ahead of schedule to compete for a title. The Red Sox are racing against time to take advantage of the fully-loaded roster before free agency breaks it up. The Red Sox and the Yankees have a common objective this season and a lot in common. Both sides have rookie managers not too far removed from their playing days who boasted no previous major league managerial experience. Now, they’re managing teams that are expected to break out the decorative bunting and the bubbly in October. Aaron Boone, who broke the hearts of Red Sox fans in the 2003 American League Championship Series, has gone from the broadcast booth to Yankee skipper. Alex Cora has gone from Houston Astros bench coach to managing personalities and expectations in the fishbowl of Boston baseball. Both teams have high-profile new sluggers with high expectations who are working to connect with their new fan bases in Stanton and J.D. Martinez. Stanton is just struggling to connect, period. Uniting Stanton, who led the majors last season in home runs with 59, with Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez was supposed to give the Yankees a Millennial Murderers’ Row. But Stanton’s stint in pinstripes is off to an ignominious start. With an 0 for 7, five-strikeout effort on Sunday in a loss to the Baltimore Orioles, he became the first player in the live-ball era to fan five times in two games in the same season. He accomplished it on the same homestand. Stanton is batting .167 with three home runs and 20 strikeouts in 42 at-bats. Martinez, who was homerless in 47 spring training at-bats, finally hit his first home run as a member of the Red Sox on Saturday. But he is batting .226 and has struck out a team-high 11 times in 31 at-bats. Both teams have hyperspeed hard-throwing closers in Craig Kimbrel and Aroldis Chapman. But the rest of their relief corps has underperformed and underwhelmed so far. Both teams will send their aces to the mound Tuesday. The Sox turn to Chris Sale. The Yankees counter with 24-year-old flame-thrower Luis Severino. Last season, Sale pitched well against the Yankees — 2.65 ERA and 50 strikeouts and just 7 walks in 34 innings — but was winless against them in five starts. Don’t tell these teams these are just early-season encounters. The Sox are rolling out their three aces in the series with Sale, Price, and Porcello. The Bronx Bombers are expected to counter with their top three — Severino, Masahiro Tanaka, and Sonny Gray. Unlike when the Red Sox-Yankees drama was at its 21st-century peak in 2003 and 2004, the wild card carries much greater risk as a postseason path now. Instead of a best-of-five division series, the wild card only earns you a one-game playoff against the other wild-card entrant for the right to advance to a playoff series. Both the Red Sox and the Yankees have invested too much in their teams this season to want to leave it all to chance in a one-game playoff. They stand in each other’s way in the AL East, and any of their 19 scheduled games could make a difference. The curse has been reversed. So, have the teams’ approaches. It’s the Red Sox who are brandishing the most expensive team in baseball. It’s the Yankees who are showing restraint and avoiding a luxury tax bill. The Yankees’ player development machine and a luxury tax re-set that will enable them to chase premium free agents such as Manny Machado and Bryce Harper are why the Yankees are in a more enviable long- term position than the Red Sox. The Red Sox are a team of right now and next year. The Red Sox and the Yankees are forever foils in competition. It’s great to have that competition back with Tuesday’s first pitch and back at fever pitch. While Yankees have holes, Red Sox are on a roll Julian Benbow In theory, one early-season platinum sombrero is something a big leaguer can shake off. An 0-for-5, five-strikeout day can happen. But piling on with an 0-for-7 five-strikeout day five games later is the kind of disaster that brings out the boo-birds. Especially if you’re a slugger with a 13-year, $325 million price tag playing in arguably the most demanding market in baseball. The question the New York Yankees face as they arrive in Boston for a three-game series that begins Tuesday is how Giancarlo Stanton handles the hole he’s sunken into over his first 10 games in pinstripes. Since he put on a show in the Yankees opener — mashing two homers and going 3 for 5 with four RBIs — Stanton has struggled to find his sea legs in New York. He is hitting just .167 with 20 strikeouts. In his first six games at Yankee Stadium, Stanton went 3 for 28 with 16 strikeouts. Just 10 games into the season, he owns the dubious distinction as the only player in the live-ball era with two five-strikeout o-fers in a season. He got an early taste of how harsh New York life can be when he was booed twice at Yankee Stadium Sunday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Stanton had braced himself for the heightened scrutiny he’d face coming from Miami to New York. “I really feel like he’s prepared himself,” Boone said Sunday. “I don’t feel like he came here on a whim. I think he’s very prepared for a big change in walking into this and I think he’s such a diligent worker and his prep is so detailed and I think he’ll get locked into that.” But as a first-year manager who is himself adjusting to life under the New York microscope, Boone understands that his star is still getting a handle on a new situation. “I think in time he’ll be fine,” Boone said. “He’s too good a player. That’s just something that’s the nature of it. You’ve got to be able to deal with that, especially early in the season. Someone from everywhere, especially if you’re coming into a new situation, if you don’t get off right away, that’s just something you have to deal with as a big leaguer, and I feel quite certain he will.

  • Message from the Director a L U M N I N E W S L E T T
    A L U M N I N E W S L E T T E R VOLUME EIGHT “FROM OUR CAMPUS ON THE HILLSIDE..” WINTER 2007 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Hello Fellow Alumni! The 2006 camping season was a great one! So many of the sights, sounds, and traditions remain, while at the same time our daily sched- ule and programs certainly characterize Jewish Camping in the 21st Century. Working with four generations of Bauercrest pride is an experi- ence any of us would cherish. The new programs and projects we implemented this past summer were very successful. The Project Adventure low ropes challenge course was well attended. Similarly, our new music room and model rocketry electives were big hits. Like a major league training field, you could see and hear the hitting workouts taking place in our new batting cages along the left field side of the A-diamond. Our summer Shlichim from Israel (now embarking on our 6th season) brought so much to the camp as key specialty leaders and educators in Jewish life, culture, and nationality. Learning of their home lives through great conflict in the northern part of the country made a huge impression on all of us. The 2006 Reunion was another hit. We had more than 150 total campers and staff in attendance at Temple Reyim in Newton. The setting was high-spirited and full of energy. Many saw our new banner stand displaying our colors, magnificent photos, and mission statement: To Build Self-Esteem and Jewish Identity through Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Achievement, and Responsibility.

  • SHOULD YANKEE LETTER STAY PRIVATE? | Page 1
    SHOULD YANKEE LETTER STAY PRIVATE? | Page 1 SHOULD YANKEE LETTER STAY PRIVATE? By: Jack Greiner on December 16, 2020 on graydon.law The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is considering whether a letter from Rob Manfred to New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman should be sealed. The letter was part of a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York filed by fantasy baseball players who contended that the league and the teams should be liable for the losses of those who bet on games that may have been tainted by electronic sign-stealing. The trial court threw out the lawsuit, but before it did, it ruled the letter was irrelevant. But the trial court ruled that the letter could be released to the public. And the Yankees are not happy about it, evidenced by their suit in the Second Circuit. The Yankees argue that because the court ruled the letter irrelevant, it’s none of the public’s business. The fantasy players argued that Manfred’s letter, which concerned a 2015 incident where MLB fined Boston for illegally using an Apple watch to relay signs to players. In the fantasy players’ view, the letter showed that MLB knew the cheating was occurring, didn’t stop it and let bettors to wager money without knowing the results were tainted. We’ll see if the Yankees have any success with this. But they are confusing two concepts. While the letter may be irrelevant for purposes of the lawsuit, that ruling doesn’t put it off limits to the public.

  • Cubs Daily Clips
    November 4, 2016 ESPNChicago.com From 1908 until now: Cubs' run of heartache finally ends By Bradford Doolittle We want to say this all began in 1945 because a colorful tavern owner tried to drag a smelly goat named Murphy with him to a World Series game. We then employ what Joe Maddon likes to call "outcome bias" as proof of this alleged curse, bringing up such hobgoblins as the black cat in 1969, Leon Durham's glove in 1984 and Steve Bartman's eager hands in 2003. In reality, this began long before any of that. It started with a poor soul named Fred Merkle, in the year 1908 -- the last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series. On Wednesday night, the 2016 Cubs put an end date on that cursed year by winning the franchise's first World Series in 108 years, beating the Cleveland Indians in extra innings in Game 7, 8-7. The reasons the Cubs didn't win it all for so long aren't easy to distill in a work less than book length. There are a few wide-umbrella factors that one can easily point to. With the 2016 World Series over after a stunning comeback from Chicago's North Siders, there's a good reason to revisit those factors. A very good reason in fact: They no longer exist. HOW IT STARTED There is an old book called "Baseball's Amazing Teams" by a writer named Dave Wolf. The book chronicles the most interesting team from each decade of the 20th century.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, November 5, 2018 * The Boston Globe Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler win Gold Glove awards Peter Abraham Jackie Bradley Jr. didn’t need a Gold Glove to be recognized as one of the best center fielders in the major leagues. Red Sox fans have known that for several years. But Bradley certainly did deserve one and it finally came his away on Sunday night. Bradley, right fielder Mookie Betts, and second baseman Ian Kinsler were Gold Glove winners. The Red Sox and Atlanta Braves each had three. A finalist in 2014 and ’16, Bradley was selected ahead of Mike Trout (Angels) and Adam Engel (White Sox) in voting done by managers and coaches. Bradley was second among MLB center fielders with an 8.7 ultimate zone rating and tied for the American League lead with eight assists. There’s no statistic for improbable acrobatic catches but Bradley had a series of those. Betts won for the third consecutive year, the first Red Sox player to do that since Dwight Evans won five in a row from 1981-85. Betts is now one of seven Red Sox players to win three or more Gold Gloves. Betts led all right fielders with 20 defensive runs saved. He has 83 DRS the last three seasons. Kinsler, 36, is now a two-time winner. He also won with the Tigers in 2016. In 128 games for the Angels and Red Sox, Kinsler had 10 DRS, the most in the AL at second base. Andrew Benintendi (left field) and Mitch Moreland (first base) were finalists.
