MLB Trade Rumors (Todd) p. 19 Jose Berrios struggles for Twins, lasts just five innings in 7-2 loss to Houston La Velle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | May 31, 2017 Twins manager Paul Molitor winced at the thought of Jose Berrios needing to be a stopper on Tuesday. “The guy just turned 23, and we hope he can round out a rotation and give us an opportunity to win,” Molitor said. “I’m not going to put ‘stopper’ along with Jose’s name at this juncture.” But the Twins needed to be picked up after bullpen meltdowns the past two games. Berrios dazzled in his first three outings; why couldn’t he do it a fourth time? It was too much to ask for, as the Twins fell 7-2 to Houston for their third consecutive defeat. Berrios had his worst outing by far since arriving from Class AAA Rochester, needing 104 pitches to get through five innings. “It’s tough with a lineup like that,” Berrios said, “but I never lose my confidence with my pitches. I try to compete, one bad night. Get ready for the next one.” The warning signs popped up in the third inning as Berrios began to hand back a 2-0 lead. Berrios hit Marwin Gonzalez with a pitch, gave up a double down the left field line to Yuli Gurriel, then a sacrifice fly to Alex Bregman. Houston then loaded the bases against Berrios in the fourth, getting a run home when Brian McCann hit into a double play. The score was tied 2-2. Berrios did limit the damage to one run, but he entered the fifth inning having thrown 71 pitches. Berrios fell behind the first four batters he faced in the fifth, as the Astros loaded the bases, again, with one out. Berrios could not find the magic pitch this time. Actually, third baseman Ehire Adrianza needed a magic glove, as Jose Altuve ripped a two-run single by him to give Houston a 4-2 lead. Altuve was given a hit, but Adrianza could have made the play. “We had a chance to get off the field even instead of down there,” Molitor said. The loss dropped the Twins' lead in the American League Central, which was three games on Sunday, to two percentage points over Cleveland. In five innings, Berrios gave up four runs on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts. After throwing 65.9 percent of his pitches for strikes over his first three outings, he threw strikes only 60.6 percent of the time Tuesday. First-pitch strikes really told the tale: Berrios got ahead in the count with only 11 of the 23 batters he faced, or 48 percent. But Molitor has seen Berrios pitch worse, much worse, during his baptism season last year. And he reminded him of that. “I told him I was proud of him,” Molitor said. “A lot of times, when he hasn’t had his command in the past, it’s kind of been explosive. And I thought he contained pretty well tonight.” The Twins offense was unable to bail out Berrios despite facing Houston righthander Mike Fiers, who entered the game having given up a league-high 18 home runs. The Twins scored twice in the first, on a bases-loaded walk to Eddie Rosario and a Byron Buxton infield single, but then Fiers took control, retiring the next eight batters and lasting six innings. Altuve led the Astros by going 4-for-5 with two RBI. Bregman added a solo homer in the seventh, and Houston tacked on two more runs in the ninth. “They don’t have a lot of power but they hit with men on base,” Berrios said. “I walked a couple guys, that’s my damage.” Reusse: Falvey, Twins need to stay committed to winning and not quick fixes Patrick Reusse | Star Tribune | May 31, 2017 The Twins had an impressive series in Baltimore last week, sweeping the Orioles with three different types of victories: a 14-7 comeback, a 2-0 masterpiece from Ervin Santana and a 4-3 contest of will. The Twins returned to Target Field and, after splitting the first two games of a series with Tampa Bay, they were 26-19 and leading the American League Central over Cleveland by three games. This was a club coming off the worst season in franchise history at 59-103 in 2016. It was obvious in March that the Twins’ fan base had crossed over from disgust to disinterest. There was so much apathy that articles posted at startribune.com could sit for days without so much as a single Joe Mauer cheap shot among a piddling number of comments. This was supposed to be the spring of the Wild, and then Bruce Boudreau’s lads determinedly kept hitting St. Louis goalie Jake Allen with the puck and lasted only five games — from April 12 to April 22. This left a little air surrounding the sporting public for the Twins to breathe, and the respectable play of the early weeks of the season caused at least mild curiosity. Then came the sweep in Baltimore, and the baseball naive came storming to the fore. Were the Twins maneuvering into position to be “buyers” rather than “sellers” on the trade market? Would it be advisable to include No. 1 prospect and shortstop Nick Gordon with the young talent needed to acquire starter Gerrit Cole from Pittsburgh? Talk about premature nonsense. The Twins were 26-21 after the back-to-back abominations: blowing a lead and losing the longest home game (by time) in Twins history Sunday and giving up the largest number of bullpen runs (14) in Twins history Monday. 2 The Twins lost again Tuesday night, 7-2 to Houston, in game No. 48. That is 30 percent of a baseball schedule. It is a mere hint as to how a season will turn out, especially with a team that has played above the level of its talent. The Twins were five games over and the Cubs were an even .500 after Memorial Day games. You think there’s any long-term reality in that scenario? What the Cubs have indicated is that it might not be as easy as last season, but they remain likely to win 90 games. What the Twins have shown is they are unlikely to lose 90 or more, which occurred in five of the previous six seasons. Gordon and more to acquire Cole, so you might be able to finish eight games behind Cleveland in the Central rather than 15? That would be genius. Let’s remember last fall: The Twins didn’t flat out say it, but they told us when firing Terry Ryan and bringing in a 30-years-younger boss in Derek Falvey that this was a start over from 59-103 — an excavation project, not a remodeling. Thirty percent of the schedule doesn’t change that. First place on Memorial Day doesn’t change that, not with the Indians about to start winning. Jason Kipnis back, Michael Brantley back, Edwin Encarnacion’s power bat ready to join the party … and you don’t think Cleveland is going to win 90? Maybe not. Maybe bad things will happen to Cleveland. For sure, the Twins have to wait to the middle of July to make any bold moves to improve the long odds for 2017 while risking damage to their long-term prospects. Yes, but the Twins “owe the fans” something after this horrible stretch of seasons. That’s the cliché we hear from the baseball naive.

Neal III | Star Tribune | June 6, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Although he began the season touring the Southern League, Randy Rosario believed he was major league material. “I was ready for it,” the 23-year-old, newly recalled Twins lefthander said. “I was waiting for it. I was saying to myself, ‘Randy, just be ready for it.’ ” Confidence is one characteristic that jumps out with Rosario. He is bright, has worked hard to learn English and made a quick transition to the bullpen after making 55 starts in the minors from the time he was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 until the middle of last season. It also helps to have a fastball that can reach 94 miles per hour and a wipeout slider. That will give you confidence, too — and encourage a team like the Twins to give a Class AA pitcher a chance in the majors.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 27, 2020 * The Boston Globe MLB’s pandemic rules mean big changes for Red Sox TV and radio coverage Chad Finn In Major League Baseball’s packet of rules and regulations for restarting the season even as the COVID-19 virus refuses to yield the field, the effects the pandemic will have on the way media members do their jobs may as well be footnotes. That’s understandable given the wholesale changes required to the schedule and the implementation of complex protocols just to get a 60-game season started. Still, the changes with the media are significant, and will have a noticeable effect on what viewers and listeners receive for a game broadcast. A few notable rules: Only 35 media members per game will be allowed in the ballpark, including photographers but not including broadcasters; interviews with players and other personnel will be done via video conferencing; reporters must leave the ballpark within an hour of the end of postgame interviews. The rules for the television and radio teams are unlike anything that has been done before. Home teams will provide a “neutral” feed for each game, with instructions to show players on both teams equally; television commentators will not be in the ballpark for road games, instead calling them off a feed, but radio announcers will be permitted in road booths. The Red Sox broadcast teams for WEEI radio and NESN are in the process of figuring out their approaches, but some groundwork has already been laid for the targeted July 23 or 24 restart.

  • LINE DRIVES the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No
    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 4, June 29, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: More than four months after its official start back on Feb. 20, the 2009 college baseball season has found its way into the record books. What a season it was, with LSU, one of five different teams to hold down the top position in the NCBWA’s weekly national rankings during the year and besting Texas to capture the College World Series championship series at Omaha’s historic Rosenblatt Stadium. Worth noting from the 63rd national championship tournament is that the 15-game event drew a record 336,076 fans to Rosenblatt Stadium. And though this year’s champion, LSU, is among the 23 teams that have previously reigned as NCAA baseball champions, college baseball welcomed two newcomers to its national championship event. Southern Miss and Virginia became the 107th and 108th schools to compete in the CWS. More than a third of the schools that compete on the NCAA Division I level have now advanced to college baseball’s biggest stage. With construction on the new 24,000-seat TD Ameritrade Stadium in downtown Omaha underway and venerable Rosenblatt Stadium set to host its 61st and final CWS in 2010, there could added incentive, if only for sentimental reasons, to advance to college baseball’s “final eight” next season. Back to 2009, though, and congratulations to our recently-crowned kings of diamonds: NCAA Division I national champion LSU (56-17), NCAA Division II champion Lynn University (46-16) of Boca Raton, Fla., and NCAA Division III champion University of St.
