But after recovering from a knee injury in 2012, the unlucky catcher suffered multiple hamstring strains in 2013 that made him miss significant time and then he broke his hamate bone and re-strained his hamstring last season. Ramos certainly can’t be faulted for a lack of resilience. As pitchers and catchers officially reported to Viera on Thursday, Ramos, 27, again proclaimed his grand goals. He wants to catch 120-130 games, a bar he has yet to reach in the majors (113 is his career high, in 2011). “I think this is the year to do that,” he said. He believes he has found the right workout regimen to keep his legs intact. “I’m working with my legs a lot,” he said. “The last three years I had problems with my leg. But this year, the offseason I worked a lot with my legs. I was really working on my agility. This year, I feel 100 percent. I feel like I’m running without problems. When I feel 100 percent when I’m running in the field, that’s when I don’t have any problems behind the plate. I ran 100 percent down in my country and it feels great.” While rehabbing his hamstring last season, Ramos learned from team doctors that perhaps he was lifting too much with his legs and his muscles were too tight, which led to injuries when he ran. So he stopped trying to get his lower body so strong and instead more flexible. He did more stretching and agility training late in the season and even more in the offseason. He ran a lot, with cones, in zig-zags, sideways, backward. Ramos said he still weighs the same — his upper body, however, looks stronger – but admitted his body and legs feel “a lot different right now.” Different for Ramos means better. He still plans on approaching baserunning the same way: running 100 percent when needed but, if not, running casually down the baseline. “I have to play smart,” he said. As he always does, he played winter ball in his native Venezuela, mostly as a designated hitter, and his legs responded well to running at full speed. A highlight of playing in Venezuela for Ramos was being on the same team as his younger brothers David, 23, a pitcher, and Natanael, 21, a catcher. With their entire family watching, they all played in a game for the Tigres de Aragua. David pitched, Natanael started behind the plate and Wilson played first, a position he hasn’t played since a handful of games in 2006 in the low minors. “That was a little bit scary, because I never played first base before, not since the [Gulf Coast League],” Ramos said. “That was a long time ago. It was good. I got two groundballs. That was fun. Easy position,” he added with a laugh. From Venezuela, Ramos also followed news of the Nationals’ busy offseason, including the addition of Max Scherzer. Ramos said he was surprised at first at Scherzer’s signing but is thrilled to have the 2013 American League Cy Young Award winner as a teammate. He hasn’t caught Scherzer yet so spring training is the time to learn about each other’s’ tendencies. “With this guy, it feels really good to have the best rotation in baseball,” Ramos said. Article #2 Janssen using spring to adjust to life in National League By Jamal Collier – Nationals.com (2/19/15) VIERA, Fla. -- New Nationals reliever Casey Janssen reported to a new Spring Training home for the first time in his career, after spending his first eight seasons with the Blue Jays. "I'm still learning names, stumbling over names, trying to figure out which field is which field," he said Thursday, the first day Washington's pitchers and catchers reported. Janssen signed with Washington near the end of January to serve as one of the club's late-innings relievers, likely as a setup man for closer Drew Storen. Janssen was enticed by the chance to join one of the favorites to win the World Series in 2015. "We've been offseason paper champs before in Toronto," Janssen said. "I want to win and experience the postseason." The Nationals will be a popular pick to win it all because of their stacked rotation and deep lineup, but their bullpen has some roles that are up for grabs. Rafael Soriano, last year's closer, decided to test free agency and Tyler Clippard, their setup man who became a fan favorite, was traded to the A's last month. Janssen has been pegged as a likely replacement for Clippard, who posted a 2.18 ERA and 0.995 WHIP in 70 1/3 innings for the Nationals in 2014. "Big shoes to fill if that were the case," Janssen said. As Toronto's closer last season, Janssen finished with 25 saves and a 3.94 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 45 2/3 innings, but spent time on the disabled list with an oblique strain and lost nine pounds in one night after experiencing food poisoning. "It's a clean slate over here," Janssen said. "It's a new league for me, so I've got to learn the hitters, but they're going to have to learn me a little bit as well." Article #3 Max Scherzer starts to settle in By James Wagner – Washington Post (2/20/15) VIERA, Fla. — By Friday morning, most of the Washington Nationals’ rotation had been here for at least a few days. Doug Fister drove cross-country from California in an RV earlier this week. Gio Gonzalez was bouncing off the clubhouse walls Tuesday. To escape the Wisconsin cold, Jordan Zimmermann came down weeks ago. Stephen Strasburg played catch on the main field Thursday. But the face everyone was eager to see arrived Thursday and made his first formal appearance the following morning. At 9:34 a.m., the Nationals’ splashiest offseason addition sauntered into the home clubhouse at Space Coast Stadium. Max Scherzer, the $210 million hired gun the Nationals hope will help them win a World Series, had returned from his mandatory physical with team doctors. His oversize golf club bag and four suits were already waiting for him at his locker, which sits between Zimmermann’s and an empty one. The former Detroit Tiger changed out of jeans, a T-shirt and a white jacket and into a red Nationals shirt and shorts, his workout uniform for many years to come. “It’s different,” Scherzer said with a smile a few hours later, in front of a horde of reporters and television cameras. “But it’s exciting at the same time. There’s a couple faces I know around here, but at the same time you get to meet whole new teammates. It’s just a fun day.” Scherzer’s tenure as a Nationals player won’t feel real until he goes through his series of firsts on the field: first bullpen (Saturday morning at 10:45 a.m.

  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.
