* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Thursday, August 17, 2017 * The Boston Globe The Red Sox don’t hit a lot of homers, but they’re OK with that Alex Speier As Jackie Bradley Jr. stepped to the plate with one out in the fifth inning Tuesday, a thought startled him. “I was the first one to get out, so I was like, ‘Don’t be the second one to get out, too,’ ” Bradley said of stepping to the plate after eight straight Red Sox had reached base in what eventually proved an eight-run inning that keyed a 10-4 win over the Cardinals. “I feel like everybody was going up there and having a great approach. Kind of passing the torch.” The torch flickered steadily rather than emitting a roaring fire, but it burned the Cardinals nonetheless. For St. Louis starter Mike Leake, it must have seemed like being swarmed by midges following Bradley’s leadoff fly out to left: ■ Eduardo Nunez single (102 m.p.h. exit velocity) ■ Mookie Betts single (83 exit velocity) ■ Andrew Benintendi hit by pitch above the knee (ouch) ■ Hanley Ramirez two-run double (111 exit velocity) ■ Rafael Devers intentional walk (the first of his career; there will be more) ■ Xander Bogaerts one-run single (109 exit velocity) ■ Mitch Moreland one-run single (87 exit velocity) ■ Sandy Leon two-run double (98 exit velocity) ■ Jackie Bradley Jr. one-run single (96 exit velocity) ■ Eduardo Nunez one-run single (103 exit velocity) That’s a lot of hard contact wrapped around a little bit of luck leading to a lot of runs — without any home runs. That last component — without any homers — has become a fascinating part of who the Red Sox are becoming. Even as they’ve seen an uptick in round-trippers and hard contact in August, the Sox are still last in the American League in homers. Yet they are putting crooked numbers on the board, as with Tuesday’s dramatic display. “I think that shows our identity,” said Betts. “We understand that it doesn’t take home runs. We can beat people with a whole bunch of singles and doubles. “Sometimes that’s worse [for a pitcher] than one three-run homer. You make the guy throw more pitches. It’s constant pressure. Having guys on base every inning is extra pressure. “With a homer, he can kind of reset. The constant guys in scoring position — single here, single here, single there — I think that’s worse.” Tuesday marked the third time this year the Sox have scored 10 or more runs in a game without a homer, tied for most in the big leagues. They have scored at least five runs without a homer 15 times, four more than any other team. Caveat: Those numbers reflect in part the fact that the Sox have had 45 games this year in which they haven’t hit a homer — third-most in the big leagues. But whereas a team like the Yankees is almost entirely reliant on homers (they’re 3-22 when they don’t clear the fences), the Red Sox (21-24 when not homering, a .467 winning percentage) and Astros (11-12, .478) have distinguished themselves as the two teams that remain competitive even when not hitting homers. It was just a couple of weeks ago that the other side of the contact coin came into view — that the balls in play found gloves rather than grass, and the Red Sox lineup looked woeful. Lineups built around contact rather than power are vulnerable to hot and cold stretches — ditto lineups built around power but not contact. (Again: See Yankees, New York.) Ultimately, the measure of the Red Sox lineup will come in October, likely against sluggers like Cleveland’s Edwin Encarnacion or Houston’s waves of high-contact power hitters. But Red Sox newcomer Addison Reed has first-hand exposure to the idea that a team without much power can emerge as a postseason force. Red Sox home run leaders Through Tuesday Mookie Betts 18 Hanley Ramirez 18 Andrew Benintendi 17 Mitch Moreland 14 Jackie Bradley Jr. 13 SOURCE: MLB.com In 2015, Reed and the Mets lost the World Series to a Royals team that had one of the lowest home run totals in the majors. Kansas City hit just two homers in the World Series, yet took the championship in five games. “I don’t like the statement that home runs win championships,” said Reed. “I think a solid offense, whether it’s hitting the ball out of the park or getting some base hits, it doesn’t matter. Getting runs is the ultimate goal. “Scrappy teams like [Kansas City] are always tough to face. You can throw a good 0-and-2 pitch. A home run hitter who’s swinging for the fences will swing over it. Guys just trying to flip one over to the outfield will put a nice little swing on it and get solid contact a lot of the time.” That Royals team isn’t alone. Of the seven World Series winners since 2010, two finished in the bottom 10 in the majors in regular-season homers; five finished outside the top 10. Each of the last six World Series winners has had a higher runs-per-game rank than homer rank, suggesting an ability to manufacture runs rather than a reliance on a single big swing. Meanwhile, each of the last seven champions finished in the top half of the big leagues in run prevention, with five of those clubs finishing in the top 10. From that vantage point, the Red Sox — who now rank eighth in runs per game while having held opponents to the fourth-lowest average of runs per game — appear to have some notable similarities to recent World Series winners. It would be a mistake to expect this offensive surge to continue indefinitely. Still, the fact that the Sox have had the best offense in the majors (6.15 runs per game) since the July 31 trade deadline suggests that they are a team capable of championship-caliber bursts. In search of championship alchemy How the Red Sox compare to recent World Series winners (MLB rank in parenthesis).

They traded old stories, sifted through the memories they made together, caught up on their current lives long removed from their playing days, but permanently placed in baseball history as the team that defied the odds to win the American League pennant. But for Jim Lonborg, whose magical 22-9 campaign that year earned him the AL Cy Young Award, the beauty of reuniting was simply seeing his teammates again. He hadn’t seen some of them in three or four years. Some not there had passed away. “It is hard to believe,” Lonborg said. “We’re missing a lot of guys right now. A lot of guys that we were very close to. That’s the thing that’s hardest, I think, about when you get a gathering like this. “But a lot of good life has gone on since that time. Families have been started, grandkids have been born, good things have happened in Boston. So time’s gone by very fast.” One thing stuck out to Carl Yastrzemski. “We’re all gray,” Yastrzemski joked. But for a few minutes, while they filed into a meeting room at Fenway Park before Wednesday’s pregame ceremony, slipping into their jerseys, 50 years didn’t feel like that long ago. “It’s great to see them,” Yastrzemski said. The greeting they got once they hit the field was fit for a team that revived baseball in Boston. One by one, Gary Bell, Bucky Brandon, Hank Fischer, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Bill Landis, Lonborg, Dave Morehead, Jerry Moses, Rico Petrocelli, Billy Rohr, Mike Ryan, Jose Santiago, Reggie Smith, Mike Andrews, Lee Stange, George Thomas, and Gary Waslewski were greeted with ovations. But the loudest roar was saved for Yastrzemski. In honor of Tony Conigliaro, his brothers Billy and Richie brought the official game ball to the mound. The Sox have won three World Series in the past 13 years, but the significance of 1967 is in the fabric of the franchise. “I think the fact that we got so close and didn’t win almost was a better ending than having won it all and just expecting things to be perfect after that,” Lonborg said. “So, it was bittersweet, but I think if I was a writer, I would have written that into the script.” “I wouldn’t change a thing,” Harrelson said. They shifted the culture at Fenway, going from playing games where they could count the fans in the stands to playing in front of sellout crowds.

  • I Ran Into Pete Rose in Philly Airport a Couple of Months Ago
    I ran into Pete Rose in Philly airport a couple of months ago. Not like he ran into Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game though - because that would hurt. More about that game later. Pete was at his gate waiting for a flight to Cincinnati. (Naturally) But he was wearing a Phillies ball cap. (Interesting!). As a Canadian, I saw no need to approach him for any reason whatsoever. Canadians and Americans deal with celebrities differently. I went back to the restaurant and informed my American wife of nearby celebrity, evidently also informing the eavesdropping lady at the next table, and both of them practically dropped their forks to head over to the Cincy gate. I had actually met Rose before, as he signed baseball cards in a Vegas sport collectibles store. I remembered feeling sad for him. Which was odd, because his life has been such an incredible story - the fluky way he first got to the Majors; how he became one the greatest players ever, and still holds Major League records for games (3562), at-bats (14053), hits (4256), and singles (3215). Three World Series wins later he gets accused of betting on baseball games, including ones involving the Reds - while managing the Reds. He denies, denies....and then, 15 years later, admits to it in his biography. He got a life-time ban from baseball, and from consideration for the Hall of Fame. He was then relegated to a life of card signing, reality shows, and stunts. There were allegations of sexual relations with a minor, and he also did 5 months of jail time for failing to report income from memorabilia signings, receiving a conviction for tax evasion.

  • Blocking the Plate
    Rule 7.13: COLLISIONS AT HOME PLATE. (1) A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate). If, in the judgment of the umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate) in such a manner, the umpire shall declare the runner out (even if the player covering home plate loses possession of the ball). In such circumstances, the umpire shall call the ball dead, and all other base runners shall return to the last base touched at the time of the collision. • Score as Offensive Interference, per rule 10.09(c)(6) (2) Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the umpire shall call or signal the runner safe. Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable. • Obstruction (Decisive Error) may be scored, but only if the blocking of the plate call changed what was going to happen – in the opinion of the scorer – if there had been no blocking of the plate, per rule 10.12(c) Comment.

  • Stepping Into Coaching 3 Coach and a Parent, and Think About How Those Roles Relate to Each Other
    chapter 1 SteppingStepping IntoInto CoachingCoaching If you are like most youth league coaches, you have probably been recruited from the ranks of concerned parents, sport enthusiasts, or com- munity volunteers. Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you prob- ably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth baseball pro- gram, you answered because you like children and enjoy baseball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile commu- nity activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volun- teers, you may not know everything there is to know about baseball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Baseball will help you learn the basics of coaching baseball effectively. To start, let’s take a look at what’s involved in being a coach. What are your responsibilities? We’ll also talk about how to handle the situa- tion when your child is on the team you coach, and we’ll examine five tools for being an effective coach. 1 2 Coaching Youth Baseball Your Responsibilities As a Coach As a baseball coach, you’ll be called upon to do the following: 1. Provide a safe physical environment. Playing baseball holds an inherent risk, but as a coach you’re responsible for regularly inspecting the practice and competition fields (see the checklists for facilities and equipment in chapter 6). 2. Communicate in a positive way. You’ll communicate not only with your players but also with parents, umpires, and administrators.
