Usually This Time of Year Around the Diamond Takes a Look at the Offensive Numbers Through the First Three Weeks AROUND THE DIAMOND IN THE ABL WEEK 3 3/16/10 BIG STORY: Usually this time of year Around the Diamond takes a look at the offensive numbers through the first three weeks. This year is more of a challenge since not every team has played the same number of games. One thing is for sure, the pitching didn’t look good in the draft and the numbers are starting to prove that theory correct. Two teams have scored fifty runs so far in 2010 with two teams’ four runs or less away from reaching fifty across the dish. Last season only one team had reached fifty runs scored after eight games and one other was close at 48 as C-Bay and Las Vegas showed big bats early in 2009. The big difference is in the overall runs against as in 2010 every team that has played eight games has allowed at least 30 runs with most in the 40’s. Last season, Las Vegas was leading the way with 15 runs against with three other teams in their 20’s after eight games on the slate. Simply put pitching is weak in 2010 and the teams that can score and get some decent pitching will be the teams to beat as the snow starts to melt. Spring is officially only days away as the teams can feel the bats getting warmer and warmer each week. 2010 ABL STANDINGS NATIONAL W L GB PCT RS RA AWAY HOME DIV VS AD Chesapeake Bay 5 3 -- .625 50 37 2-2 3-1 4-2 1-1 Titusville 5 3 -- .625 42 48 3-1 2-2 3-3 2-0 Orlando 4 4 1 .500 53 41 3-3 1-1 3-3 1-1 Chicago 4 4 1 .500 46 46 2-2 2-2 3-3 1-1 Las Vegas 3 3 1 .500 28 30 2-2 1-1 3-3 0-0 Tallahassee 3 5 2 .375 44 63 3-3 0-2 2-4 1-1 AMERICAN W L GB PCT RS RA AWAY HOME DIV VS ND Barnegat Bay 6 2 -- .750 47 31 3-1 3-1 5-1 1-1 Long Beach 5 3 1 .625 43 41 2-0 3-3 5-1 0-2 Manahawkin 3 3 2 .500 28 22 2-0 1-3 2-2 1-1 Atlanta 3 7 4 .300 45 46 2-2 1-5 2-6 1-1 Syracuse 1 5 4 .167 18 39 0-2 1-3 0-4 1-1 X-PLAYOFF SPOT Y-DIVISION Z- TIED FOR PLAYOFF SPOT, ONE GAME SHOWDOWNS DEADLINES: Play Week begins March 19th Recap due March 29th 8 p.m. est.

( Q and A with Game Play Notes) (PLEASE TAKE NOTE) 1. Crazy Play (#51-85) that reads: Batter hit by pitch. Dugouts and bullpens empty into an all-out brawl! Pitcher and batter are both ejected from the game. Check each for injury. What team must substitute first? Should the pitcher be replaced first or the runner on first base? ANSWER: This scenario isn’t clearly covered in MLB official rules or the Major League Baseball Umpire Manual. This call is a judgment call for the umpires on the field. For the ABL the pitcher must be replaced first then the runner since the pitcher most likely was tossed first for hitting the batter than the batter for charging the mound to start the brawl. Most umpires install a first out then first in process to handle these types of situations. ABL MARCH EDITION OF COMMISH CHAT: ABL Commish Chat was available for download on March 5, 2010. Please send in any feedback you might have on the show. BASEBALL THOUGHTS: Posted on a Blog on Baseball Reference in 2009. Starting and Pinch Running Posted by Raphy on September 10, 2009 Is it possible to both start and pinch run in the same game? Until recently I thought it was not. Then I came across an old game from 1984 and my eyes were opened to the fact that a player could both start and pinch run in the same game. On July 23, 1984 the Twins and A's hooked up in a game that was decided long before it was over. Oakland was trailing 14 - 1 in the bottom of the 7th when manager Jackie Moore brought in pitcher Keith Atherton to relieve. Atherton gave up a single and then retired Tim Teufel to end the inning. In the top of the following inning, after DH Dave Kingman singled, Moore once again called upon Atherton to sub, this time as a pinch runner. Atherton replaced Kingman at first, took his place in the batting order and finished the game off as a pitcher. My initial reaction to seeing this was: "Hey wait! You can't do that!" But as I thought about it, it became more logical. I assume that after the Kingman single, it wasn't Atherton replacing Kingman that allowed him to pinch run. Rather, it was Oakland deciding to forfeit their right to the DH that forced them (and allowed them) to put Atherton on first base. (If this true, then Atherton's being listed as a DH is an error). Regardless of how he got there, Atherton did pinch run for Kingman, even though he was already in the game. While Atherton was not a starter, the same logic should apply to a starting pitcher as well. If a team wants to forfeit their rights to a DH while he is on base, the pitcher would then take his place as a pinch runner. In that case, it would be possible to start and pinch run in the same game. EDIT: To further clarify, here is my theory: Prior to a game a team has the option of giving up the right to a DH. Presumably, a team has the same right at any point during the game as well. Normally this occurs when a team moves their DH into the field. However, during this game, the A's chose to do it at a unique moment. With Kingman at first , the A's decided to longer use a DH. As is required by the rules, when the DH is removed the current pitcher replaces him in the lineup. In this case it meant that Atherton replaced Kingman at 1st base. In this way Atherton "pinch ran" for Kingman. I hope this is clear. If anyone knows of a better explanation, please let me know. FUTURE ABL MANAGERS: Reminder to all managers that if you find someone interested in baseball lets get them started in the ABL Developmental Plan playing practice games. Contact the Commish for a sample set of cards/charts and start teaching the ABL’s next Billy Martin the excitement of tabletop baseball.

Then Tally would take a short lead in the top of the 5th on a Robby Cano (Dontcha Know) RBI single to score Kennedy who doubled to lead off the inning. The lead would be short as Chi would get that run back in the bottom half of the frame on a J.Mauer RBI Fielder's choice to score J.Weaver who lead the inning off with a single. Chi would take the lead again in the bottom of the 6th when D.Span singles, steals 2b and then R.Furcal singles him in.

  • Managing Team Chemistry
    5/8/2019 Managing Team Chemistry Managing Team Chemistry In a Nutshell I heard a baseball analyst say that the fight between Mike Piazza and Guillermo Mota last week provided a chance for Piazza's team to improve its chemistry. His rationale was pretty complex, but I think he's right. Team chemistry is a complicated issue, but it's also the key to getting the most out of a team's talent. Team chemistry is one of the most complicated keys to the success of organizations. Effective teams are more than just a collection of talented members. To be effective, a team has to be able to combine the efforts and abilities of members in the right way. Just as no two people are identical, no two teams are identical. Consequently, what works well for one team may not work well for others. However, research has identified several factors that usually produce good team chemistry: Diversity Role taking Constructive norms Leadership Cohesiveness Common vision In This Issue Mets Fight for Team Chemistry What We Know About Team Chemistry Managing Team Chemistry About the Newsletter and Subscriptions Good, Clean Joke LeaderLetter Web Site Mets Fight for Team Chemistry I heard Tim Kurkjian explain on an ESPN radio program last week that the incident of Mike Piazza charging to the pitcher's mound to fight Guillermo Mota after Mota hit him with a pitch on March 12 provided an opportunity for Piazza's team, the New York Mets, to improve their chemistry. First, Piazza is a leader on the team and his actions set the tone for the rest of the team.

Schools may determine who those pitchers and catchers may be, not setting a limit of 8 pitchers and 2 catchers. The week of conditioning should be a comprehensive program that involves the following components: Stretching – Proper stretching of the entire body, allowing for preparation of proper mechanics, is crucial. Flexibility and balance are important components of the program. Strengthening – A throwing program should be progressive and should begin to build a base that athletes will develop throughout the season. Cardio – Aerobic training designed to build full body endurance to prevent fatigue and overuse injuries is a key component. Recommendation include 20-40 minutes (biking, elliptical, treadmill) three times during the week. Recovery – Pitchers should be throwing no more than 3-4 times during the week and should be provided the proper amount of rest that allows the arm to recover.

Larrick1, Thomas A. Timmerman2, Andrew M. Carton1, and Jason Abrevaya3 1Fuqua School of Business, Duke University; 2Department of Decision Sciences and Management, Tennessee Technological University; and 3Department of Economics, University of Texas Abstract In this study, we analyzed data from 57,293 Major League Baseball games to test whether high temperatures interact with provocation to increase the likelihood that batters will be hit by a pitch. Controlling for a number of other variables, we conducted analyses showing that the probability of a pitcher hitting a batter increases sharply at high temperatures when more of the pitcher’s teammates have been hit by the opposing team earlier in the game. We suggest that high temperatures increase retaliation by increasing hostile attributions when teammates are hit by a pitch and by lowering inhibitions against retaliation.

  • 1 Pray Ball? Reflections on the Serious Liturgical Challenge of Giving Thanks for Baseball by Mark W. Stamm, Associate Professor
    Pray Ball? Reflections on the Serious Liturgical Challenge of Giving Thanks for Baseball By Mark W. Stamm, Associate Professor of Christian Worship, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University Twenty-Second Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture June 2-4, 2010 (The Scripture quotations contained herein are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible, copyright © 1989, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. Used by permission. All rights reserved.) I present this paper as liturgical scholar, ordained United Methodist minister, and baseball fan. I hold membership in the North American Academy of Liturgy and the North Texas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, as well as the Society for American Baseball Research. Can these distinct realms of discourse and practice have a helpful conversation, or must they remain separate? Committed practitioners have lived both realities, of course, and it takes but little effort to start a baseball conversation in any of these realms. When I began studies in the Boston University Doctor of Theology degree program in 1989, I was informed that clergy could obtain a pass to Fenway Park that would allow one to sit in any unoccupied seat; that is, when one could find an empty seat in the years following the Impossible Dream, Fisk’s homer, and the ball that dribbled under Buckner’s glove.1 More than that, my wife is an equally ardent baseball fan as well as the best scorekeeper in the family, so a pass for one ticket would have been a problem.
