With the 9-3 win over Chicago, Cleveland has run its winning streak to eight games. Ramirez's offensive outpouring, which included his 18th home run of the season and three RBIs, helped back a strong start from Danny Salazar. The right-hander struck out eight over six-plus innings for the American League Central-leading Indians, who remain two games above the Royals. Kansas City has won nine straight, making the Tribe's recent run even more critical. "This is like last year," said Salazar, referring to Cleveland's 14-game winning streak last summer. "We have a really long winning streak and we feel like we're competing against each other. You don't want to go out there and be the guy that ruined the streak. So, that's what we're doing right now. We're working. We're competing as players, as a team, against us and against the other teams, too." Salazar's lone setback came in the seventh, when the right-hander walked rookie Yoan Moncada before allowing Matt Davidson's 20th homer of the season. Davidson's shot dropped deep into the left-field stands, traveling a projected 412 feet, per Statcast™. Moncada added an RBI double in the eighth on a liner to right that had a 110-mph exit velocity. "As good as it was to see him in his first start [off the disabled list], to start backing it up, that's when it starts to get exciting," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Salazar. "And I thought he did all that. He got a pitch up that that kid hit a long way, which he's done a few times. But eight strikeouts, two walks and he held his stuff. We're really, really pleased." The bulk of Cleveland's damage was done against White Sox lefty Derek Holland, who was charged with six runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. With that showing, Holland dropped to 1-6 with a 9.46 ERA in his past 10 starts -- after opening the year with a 2.37 ERA in his first 10 turns for Chicago. After Holland's exit, Carlos Santana (14th of the season) and Michael Brantley (eighth) connected for solo home runs in the sixth and eighth innings, respectively. Yan Gomes, Giovanny Urshela and Brandon Guyer each had an RBI for the Indians as well. Cleveland's lineup ended with zero strikeouts for the first time since May 3, 2014 (also against the White Sox). Holland, Chris Beck and Juan Minaya combined to induce five total swinging strikes, while on the other side, Salazar had a season-high 23 of his own. "The way I'd put it for myself --- we should be reported for the abuse we're putting on our relievers," Holland said. "It's frustrating. My execution is what killed me. That's what takes me out of the game. I'm frustrated with the way I'm pitching. I have to do better. This is killing our bullpen." This was the second time in the Majors this season that a team failed to record a strikeout. Oakland didn't strike out any Mariners batters on July 6. "I was looking at the sheet and they didn't strike out today, they didn't have one strikeout," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said of the Indians. "They were battling and put together really solid at-bats. That's obviously a really good hitting lineup and [Holland] wasn't able to kind of finish it to get us through a little bit deeper. And they capitalized on some pitches over the plate." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Pick your poison: Francona loves batting Ramirez fifth because it forces teams to think about pitching to slugger Edwin Encarnacion or risk pitching to Ramirez with traffic. With one out and first base open in the fifth, the White Sox opted to intentionally walk Encarnacion to load the bases. Ramirez responded by pulling a pitch into left field for a two-run single, igniting a four-run inning for the Tribe. "If they're going to walk people, you'd like them to pay for it," Francona said. "And to me, [Ramirez] is the ultimate protector." "I was just trying to get a ground ball, double play [to Ramirez]," Holland said. "Thought everything was going well. Me and Narvy [catcher Omar Narvaez] were definitely on the same page. I thought that pitching-wise I had the right stuff, it just comes down to execution. I missed a couple spots." No-no thank you: Facing the White Sox on Wednesday, Cubs starter Jake Arrieta carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning. Salazar did the same against Chicago on Friday night, holding the South Siders to an 0-for-13 showing before Narvaez and Alen Hanson connected for consecutive one-out singles in the fifth. Unfazed, Salazar whiffed Tim Anderson and Adam Engel to escape unscathed. QUOTABLE "I was confident. Ramirez is the best hitter on the team now, and I felt confident for Jose. He's had a very good year this year, and I'm hoping he keeps it up. Jose, he's very important for the team." -- Santana, on the White Sox walking Encarnacion to load the bases for Ramirez "I didn't say anything. I kept my voice as calm as possible. I thought it was unprofessional to basically walk out and tell me he's going to show me up. I didn't do anything, and the only thing I asked him was, 'Don't flinch like that.' You can't do that. It's showing me that that's a strike, but then you're not decided by that." -- Holland, on an argument with home-plate umpire Bill Welke in the fourth inning SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Holland became the first White Sox starter to finish with zero strikeouts in a game since James Shields on Aug. 13, 2016, against Miami. It was the first time Holland had done so in a start since May 5, 2016, with the Rangers against Toronto, a start in which he allowed 11 earned runs. He induced just two swinging strikes on 84 pitches Friday against the Indians, according to Statcast™. Through the team's first 100 games, the White Sox have only had their starting pitcher go seven innings or more nine times. WHAT'S NEXT Indians: Ace Corey Kluber (8-3, 2.74 ERA) will start for the Tribe in a 7:10 p.m. ET clash with the White Sox on Saturday at Guaranteed Rate Field. Kluber has notched double-digit strikeouts in eight of his last 10 games, including a 14-strikeout showing on Sunday. He has a 1.52 ERA with 108 strikeouts and 13 walks in 71 innings in those 10 starts. White Sox: Miguel Gonzalez (5-9, 4.60 ERA) has been the club's best starter of late and will take the mound for the 6:10 p.m. CT start. He has posted back-to-back quality starts since the All-Star break, including going 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball in his last start against the Cubs. More veterans may be dealt by Deadline White Sox have already traded six players since the All-Star break By Fabian Ardaya / MLB.com | July 28th, 2017 CHICAGO -- The White Sox have been the biggest sellers in this season's trade market, and there's no guarantee that the South Siders are done moving pieces -- even if it's after Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. The club has already dealt six players since the All-Star break earlier this month and acquired 10 players in return, with all but one of them being a Minor League prospect. Of the 25 players who broke camp with the club on Opening Day, just 11 remain on the active roster. "Obviously, the organization and the club is still evolving," manager Rick Renteria said. "Change is still beginning, and these guys are learning how to deal with it right now. You can't lament movement.

This is one of a series of reviews of sabermetric articles published in academic journals. It is part of a project of mine to collect and catalog sabermetric research, and I would appreciate learning of and receiving copies of any studies of which I am unaware.

  • 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).

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2
