* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Monday, May 31, 2021 * The Boston Globe After rainout Sunday, taking stock of Red Sox heading into crucial 17-day stretch Julian McWilliams Sunday’s Red Sox-Miami Marlins contest at Fenway Park was postponed and rescheduled for Monday, June 7. This means the Red Sox will have to relinquish an off day and instead stare down a schedule that includes 17 straight games in as many days. If you consider the opponents, this might be the Red Sox’ biggest test of the season. In that 17-day span, the Sox will face the Astros in a four-game series beginning Monday at Houston, then the Yankees for a three-game series at New York. Boston will travel back to play the Marlins at Fenway, followed by the Astros at home for three, four home games vs. the Blue Jays, and finally, a pair against the Braves at Atlanta. The Sox (32-20) currently stand a game back of the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East. They have taken on the underdog approach this year, oftentimes noting that no one believed in them but themselves. However true that might be — which in some cases is a bit exaggerated — the team has, indeed, thrived so far this season. Despite the daunting schedule ahead, the Sox are in a good position heading into it. Here’s how they got here. Starting pitching Nick Pivetta wasn’t getting much of a chance to start with the Phillies last season. Garrett Richards has always been known for his stuff but never quite recaptured it post-Tommy John surgery. So, when Pivetta was traded to the Red Sox last summer, and Richards signed as a free agent this offseason, each was expected to be a huge part of what the Red Sox did. So far, they have lived up to that. In 54 innings, Richards has a 3.83 ERA. Even though Richards has power stuff, he’s never been a huge strikeout guy. He’s compiled just 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings for his career and 7.8 this season. Nonetheless, Richards is figuring out ways to be successful for the Red Sox, thanks to a delivery that he’s able to repeat. “We came up with something that would be simple for me to be able to repeat,” Richards said earlier this season. “And importantly, it gives me a chance to gather over the rubber, instead of just kind of rolling through it like I was. So just making an emphasis of getting a good gather over the rubber has really helped me.” Keep in mind Richards’s curveball ranked at the top of the league in spin. Richards has had success with that pitch whenever he employs it, with batters hitting just .143 against it this year. As for Pivetta, he’s found his way by pounding the strike zone and learned how to pitch up in the zone, which has played a part in his 3.86 ERA in 53⅔ innings plus 59 strikeouts. Pivetta is 6-0 this season and has gone 8-0 in his last 12 starts dating back to last season. He’s also successful at making adjustments when hitters are on to him. For example, in his last start, the Braves were aggressive on his fastball, tagging him for two runs in the first. But after that Pivetta implemented more of his offspeed/breaking stuff in order to keep the Braves off balance. Martín Pérez has been a key piece of the Red Sox rotation, too — if not the most important piece. He’s compiled a 3.55 ERA in 50⅔ innings in addition to 48 strikeouts. The Red Sox still need more from Eduardo Rodriguez (5.06 ERA). Nate Eovaldi’s 4.01 ERA is consistent with what he’s been for his career. A key for Eovaldi is that he’s been healthy. As Rodriguez looks to get on track, however, the trio of Pivetta, Richards, and Pérez have been crucial to this team’s success. Bullpen The Red Sox are hoping to get Ryan Brasier back soon, and that should give them more depth at the back end of the bullpen. Matt Barnes has been lights out in the closer’s spot, striking out 15.4 batters per nine innings, registering a league-leading 12 saves to go along with a 2.63 ERA. Barnes has gotten some help from Adam Ottavino, as well as Josh Taylor as of late. Taylor has nine straight appearances under his belt (9 innings) without allowing a run. Ottavino, meanwhile, has given up just one run in his last 11⅓ innings. He has a 2.95 ERA on the year. Offense The Sox remain one of the best offenses in baseball. Entering Sunday, they had a .768 OPS to lead the league. J.D. Martinez (second), Rafael Devers (fourth), and Xander Bogaerts (fifth) were all in the top five in the AL in OPS, all above .950. The Yankees’ Aaron Judge and Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were the others in the top five. Devers led the majors in extra-base hits with 31 and was tied with Nolan Arenado of the Cardinals for the lead in doubles (17) Martinez led the AL in hits (62) and multi-hit games (20). “That’s why we signed him in ’18,” Cora said Sunday of Martinez. “To be that guy in the middle of the lineup to help everybody else. Drive in runs, get on base and right now he’s driving in runs and he’s scoring a lot of runs. He’s been amazing since Day 1.” While those three players, plus Alex Verdugo, have carried the offense for much of the season, the Red Sox have gotten some production from Hunter Renfroe. After hitting .167 with a .485 OPS in April, Renfroe has hit .307 with an .879 OPS in May, including 12 extra-base hits and 14 RBIs in 23 games. “He’s doing a good job putting the ball and play going the other way, hitting with two strikes, staying on breaking balls.” Cora said. “He did that in spring training. Obviously wasn’t a good start for him. But he’s a good player.” What to watch Verdugo is still nursing a hamstring injury. During this 17-game stretch in 17 days, it will be interesting to see how he responds to it and how the team uses him. Christian Arroyo gives the team a boost in the infield, but in his last 39 plate appearances, he’s hit just .147 Kiké Hernández, while a solid outfielder, is probably not a leadoff hitter for this club. His on-base percentage dropped below .300 again (.299) and he’s hitting just .245 for the season. Top Red Sox prospects Jarren Duran, Tristan Casas named to United States Olympic qualifying team Julian McWilliams Top Red Sox prospects Triston Casas and Jarren Duran were officially named to the USA Baseball Olympic qualifying roster Sunday. The 26-man roster has 14 pitchers and 12 position players. The United States will start the Baseball Americas Qualifier on Monday against Nicaragua at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The US will play the Dominican Republic on Tuesday and Puerto Rico on Wednesday. Following group play, the top two finishers from each group will play two games in the Super Round, and the team with the best record (including group play) will be the winner and join Israel, Japan, Korea, and Mexico in the Olympics. The second- and third-place teams will have a final shot at qualifying for the Olympics at a last-chance tournament in Mexico in late June. Duran started the season in Triple-A Worcester. In 82 plate appearances, the outfielder is hitting .278/.366/.625 with seven homers. Duran, who is likely to make his MLB debut this season, said he’s elated to be a part of the USA squad. “Having USA across my chest, I don’t know if anything ever compares to that,” Duran said in a text message Sunday afternoon. “I feel honored to represent this great country, and having the Red Sox back me up on that means a lot. I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity and I will forever be grateful to the Red Sox for letting me have this opportunity.” Casas, a first baseman, began the season in Double-A Portland. In 75 plate appearances, the first baseman is hitting .328/.400/.552 with four homers. Duran and Casas have been with Team USA teammates at a training camp Darren Fenster, the Red Sox’ minor league outfield and baserunning coach, will serve as Team USA’s third base coach. Former MLB manager Mike Scioscia is the manager. Several players named to the roster are major league veterans who are not on an MLB roster, including Matt Kemp, Todd Frazier, and pitchers Edwin Jackson and David Robertson. Looking ahead to Houston The Red Sox are set for a four-game series against the Houston Astros beginning Monday. The Sox starters for that series will be Eduardo Rodriguez, Garrett Richards, Nick Pivetta, and Martín Pérez. Rodriguez enters with a 5.06 ERA through his first nine starts of the year, the highest mark of any Sox starter. Despite the numbers, manager Alex Cora believes the lefthander is turning the corner, pointing to the third and fourth innings in Rodriguez’s last start vs. the Phillies. “He looked really good,” Cora said. “Rhythm was better. More locked in.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, November 15, 2019 * The Boston Globe Xander Bogaerts finishes fifth in American League MVP race Julian McWilliams Xander Bogaerts finished fifth in American League MVP Award voting, the highest of his career. The Red Sox shortstop was 13th in 2013. Bogaerts hit .309 with a career-high 33 homers and 117 RBIs. Bogaerts tied Nomar Garciaparra for the most extra-base hits in a season by a Red Sox shortstop (85). Garciaparra did it in 1997 and 2002. Bogaerts’s 117 RBIs were the most in a season by a Red Sox shortstop since Garciaparra had 120 in 2002. Bogaerts was just the third shortstop in MLB history with at least a .300 batting average, 85 extra-base hits, and 115-plus RBIs. The others are Alex Rodriguez, in 1996 with the Mariners and 2001 and 2002 with the Texas, and Garciaparra. Bogaerts finished behind the Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu, who pulled in 10 fourth-place votes to Bogaerts’s six. Mookie Betts was eighth, Rafael Devers 12th, and J.D. Martinez was tied for 21st in AL voting. MLB speaks with Alex Cora as it investigates Astros’ sign-stealing Peter Abraham and Alex Speier SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora is one of the key figures into Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Houston Astros, an appraisal that goes beyond charges of sign stealing in 2017. Cora, who was bench coach of the Astros in 2017, has spoken to officials charged with determining to what degree Houston flouted rules against using cameras to pick up signs from opposing catchers.

  • Red Sox Vs. Rays: Target Boston to Triumph in Low- Scoring Affair
    Red Sox vs. Rays: Target Boston to Triumph in Low- Scoring Affair Red Sox Odds +150 Rays Odds -170 Over/Under 8.5 (-115 / -105) Time 7:08 p.m. ET TV ESPN Odds as of Sunday afternoon via DraftKings. The Tampa Bay Rays (63-42) are looking for a home sweep and to extend their half-game lead in the AL East against the Boston Red Sox (63-43) on Sunday Night Baseball. The season series is currently tied at four games apiece, with the results over the final 11 meetings this season between these two clubs potentially determining the division winner. I currently project the Rays to win 95.4 games and the Red Sox to finish with 92.9 wins. I give Tampa Bay a 50% chance of winning the AL East and Boston a 33% chance.PECOTA ‘s projection aligns with my own, putting Tampa Bay 0.8 wins clear of Boston for the AL East crown, with respective chances of 37.1% and 34.1% to win the division. Fangraphs is higher on Boston’s chances, placing it 1.3 games ahead of Tampa Bay (94.1 wins to 93.1) with a 40.1% chance of winning the division, compared to 34.2% for the Rays. In terms of True Talent, I would make the Rays a 91.9 win team if the season restarted tomorrow and would place Boston at 86.4 wins, which is up from projections of 86.5 and 80.8 wins in the preseason. That’s an increase of 5.4 and 5.6 wins, respectively.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League.
