  • Weekly Notes 072817
    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).

  • A's News Clips, Friday, May 13, 2011 Perseverance Pays Off for A's
    A’s News Clips, Friday, May 13, 2011 Perseverance pays off for A's McCarthy By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune A's right-hander Brandon McCarthy has retooled his delivery and developed new pitches. But in overcoming multiple shoulder injuries, his best career move was refusing to call it a career. McCarthy, 27, has been the A's most pleasant surprise in 2011 with a 3.26 ERA and two complete games. Last season, a third stress fracture in his throwing shoulder had him contemplating life without baseball. He eventually returned to full strength, showing a perseverance that doesn't surprise those who know him well. "When a guy gets a shoulder injury, usually he's doomed," said Chicago White Sox scout John Kazanas, who signed McCarthy out of junior college in 2002. "It's a long, tedious process to overcome that. A lot of guys do quit, and that's not in Brandon's DNA." McCarthy (1-3), who takes the ball Friday against the White Sox, does not bask in what he's accomplished so far this season. "Hopefully on Nov. 1, it's something I can sit back and reflect on," he said. His lanky 6-foot-7 frame was the first thing that caught Kazanas' eye when McCarthy was pitching for Lamar Community College in Colorado. "He looked like a long piece of dental floss," Kazanas said. The Sox drafted McCarthy in the 17th round in 2002, and he went 7-9 over 65 appearances (12 starts) for Chicago from 2005-06. He was traded to Texas before the 2007 season but pitched in just 45 big-league games over the next three years as his shoulder problems developed.
