    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Jean Machi by Ian A
    JEAN MACHI BY IAN A. STEWART lmer Dessens had just turned 40 years old at the dawn of Spring Training in 2011. The journeyman pitcher, who’d played for 10 teams over 14 years in The Bigs, was close to E finalizing a minor league contract with San Francisco. The Giants agreed to invite him to big league camp and give him a shot to earn the final spot in the bullpen. But Dessens’ pitching shoulder didn’t pass muster during his physical exam, and the contract offer was rescinded. It was clear that Dessens’ playing career wasn’t going to end the way he’d hoped. But he wasn’t quite ready to quit entirely, so he resigned himself to playing his final season in the Mexican League—Triple-A caliber competition, but unaffiliated with Major League teams and generally lacking the glamour he’d grown accustomed to in the United States. “When you go to Mexico, at some point you feel like you’re going backward,” he says. That’s where Dessens met another pitcher going backward, Jean Machi. A nine-year veteran sinker-ball pitcher who’d never made it past Triple-A, Machi was in a similar position as Dessens: The Giants had acquired him as a minor league free agent and held his contract rights, but without a spot open on their Triple-A Fresno team, they’d loaned him out to Los Diablos Rojos del México for the year, where he and Dessens became unlikely teammates. Accepting a spot on Los Diablos was a tough decision for Machi.

  • Giants Overpower Royals to Win World Series Magical Bumgarner Joins World Series Legends
    Sports43 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014 Giants overpower Royals to win World Series Magical Bumgarner joins World Series legends Hamilton seeks to divert attention from problems AUSTIN: World championship leader Lewis Hamilton will bid to divert attention from Formula One’s looming financial crisis by seeking his fifth consecutive race win at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix. The 29- year-old Briton leads Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg of Germany by 17 points with three races remaining, and 100 points avail- able, as he sets himself to claim his 10th win of the season at the Circuit of the Americas. After a tense, close and often acrimonious struggle with Rosberg, Hamilton knows he cannot relax, notably because next month’s season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is worth double points. That means Rosberg will retain a mathematical title chance if he is within 50 points of the Englishman after the next two races in America and Brazil. Hamilton came away from the Russian Grand Prix on October 12 with 291 points to Rosberg’s 274.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, April 19, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Wednesday, April 19, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants win in 11 innings in Buster Posey’s return Henry Schulman KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On the night Bruce Bochy was hospitalized in Miami with a heart arrhythmia in August, the Giants made him stress through 14 innings before they won. Bochy had another stressor Tuesday night as he rested at home in San Diego from a morning procedure to fix another arrhythmia. His TV surely was on for all 11 innings before the Giants sneaked out of Kauffman Stadium with a 2-1 victory “I hope he wasn’t watching it,” acting manager Ron Wotus said. “He has a knack for knowing when to take off, I’ll tell you that.” Regardless of who was manning the tiller, the Giants needed to win in their first game in Kansas City since Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, and not for nostalgia’s sake. A loss would have left them 5-10. Though history shows that is not a death knell for a team with playoff aspirations, the math is not pretty, starting with the need to win five in a row just to reach .500. 1 Joe Panik, whose two-out single in the 11th brought Nick Hundley home with the go-ahead run, called it a “character win.” It also was the Giants’ first one-run win in six one-run games. “Games like this you want to win,” Wotus said. “When you lose these extra-inning games, it’s tough the next day, especially where we’ve been.” Hundley was catching despite Buster Posey’s return from the concussion list.

  • Rigidity of Microsphere Heaps
    ABSTRACT SIDLE, GLENN DANIEL. Using Multi-Class Machine Learning Methods to Predict Major League Baseball Pitches. (Under the direction of Hien Tran.) As the field of machine learning and its applications grow, there is a need to expand the ability to classify and predict beyond just being able to handle a binary problem. While the ability to predict a yes or no answer is still valuable, in a world of increasing complexity, machine learning methods are now employed in a multi-class problem setting more than ever. Major League Baseball provides a rich and detailed data set with its PITCHf/x system that tracks every baseball pitch thrown in every stadium in every game. Pitch prediction has been a topic of previous research that has mostly focused on the binary split between fastballs and other pitch types. We extend the binary problem to a multi-class one that involves up to seven unique pitch types. The work done with baseball pitches can be used as a template to expand a wide variety of other binary predictions into accommodating more than a simple two class approach. To accomplish the multi-class prediction, we examine multiple machine learning methods to find the most efficient and accurate algorithm. In this dissertation, we first explore the results given by each of three different methods: Linear Discriminant Analysis, Support Vector Machines, and bagged random forests of Classification Trees. Our feature set is created from both categorical and continuous data, with features that can be taken from the observation of a game used alongside synthetic features generated from historical data.
