Tribe Sees Salazar Extend Post-DL Trend Righty Reaffirms Tribe sees Salazar extend post-DL trend Righty reaffirms club's call not to trade for starter before Deadline By William Kosileski / MLB.com | August 5th, 2017 + 1 COMMENT CLEVELAND -- When the Indians activated starter Danny Salazar from the disabled list on July 22, they were unsure of what exactly they would get from the right-hander. Two weeks later, after the hard-throwing hurler delivered his third consecutive quality start, the Indians couldn't be more confident in Salazar as a reliable option to give the ball to every fifth day. Salazar was nothing short of dominant on Saturday night against the Yankees at Progressive Field, allowing one run, four hits and three walks while striking out a career-high 12 in seven frames en route to a no-decision. Although the Tribe went on to lose, 2-1, Salazar's stellar, 112- pitch outing is something that the Indians and fans alike can hang their hats on. "That was good to see," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "[If] he pitches like that, we're all going to be happy." With his strong showing on Saturday, Salazar has now posted a 1.35 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP in his three starts since coming off the DL. In 20 innings across that trio of starts, Salazar has held opposing hitters to a .121/.183/.197 slash line while recording 28 strikeouts, giving him a 39.4 percent strikeout percentage in that span. "He's been doing that consistently the last couple starts since he's been back," Indians catcher Yan Gomes said on behalf of Salazar, who respectfully requested not to speak with the media after the game due to a hoarse voice. "It's really nice to see. I know from everyone else, everyone was kind of iffy on how he was going to kind of come back. He's healthy. We all know when he's healthy, he's a dangerous pitcher." Based on Salazar's first two outings off the DL, the Tribe opted to not pursue a starting pitching before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline to start behind ace Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco. His display of dominance over the New York lineup on Saturday reaffirmed that decision. Other than the three walks he issued, the only blemish on Salazar's line came on an RBI double from Didi Gregorius in the first inning. After allowing that knock, Salazar held the Yankees to a 2-for-21 showing. "It's starting to show that he's kind of just letting it eat now," Gomes said. "You don't see the 89-90 [mph] out of nowhere; 89-90 is usually an offspeed. It's good that he's healthy, he's feeling good. Once his confidence starts rising, that's when we know he's going to be real good." In his final inning, Salazar struck out the side in order. His final pitch clocked in at 96 mph, resulting in a swinging third strike from Yankees catcher Austin Romine. "That's good to see, especially late in the game like that," Francona said of Salazar's velocity. "When he's nearing the end of his game, his last pitch I think was [96], and there was some purpose behind it. ... When you can go get another gear that late, that's impressive." Salazar handed the ball over to Zach McAllister in the eighth, but the reliever allowed a solo homer to Chase Headley that ultimately proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Afterward, McAllister praised Salazar for his consistency since rejoining the rotation. "I think it's great for anybody that we face," McAllister said. "To see the staff that we have, especially [with Salazar] getting on a roll, he's an All- Star. He has All-Star stuff. When he's locked in, he's one of the best in baseball." Tribe can't back brilliant Salazar, fall on late HR By Jordan Bastian and Bryan Hoch / MLB.com | August 5th, 2017 + 189 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- The Yankees needed to get Indians right-hander Danny Salazar off the mound on Saturday night. Once his overpowering outing came to a close, Chase Headley delivered a go-ahead home run for New York, paving the way for a 2-1 win at Progressive Field that halted Cleveland's nine-game home winning streak. The decisive blow arrived in the eighth inning, when Zach McAllister took over for Salazar and then yielded the one-out solo shot to Headley to put the Indians behind, 2-1. Salazar was hung with a no-decision after notching a career high in strikeouts (12) and a season high in pitches (112) over his seven dominant frames. "It was big. We haven't been swinging the bats great," Headley said. "Part of that is us and part of that is their starting pitching. It was a big swing. I wasn't sure when I hit it, but it had enough and fortunately it carried out. It was enough to get us a win." With the Royals-Mariners game postponed, the loss trimmed the Tribe's lead atop the American League Central to three games over Kansas City. The Yankees held firm to the AL's top Wild Card spot and remained three games back of the Red Sox in the AL East. "The guy comes out there, gives us seven innings, one run, 12 strikeouts," Indians catcher Yan Gomes said of Salazar. "I mean, he's been doing that consistently the last couple starts since he's been back. It's really nice to see." • Indians see Salazar extend post-DL trend Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery also walked away with a no-decision after limiting the Tribe to one run on three hits over five innings. Montgomery, who struck out seven and walked none, flinched only in the second, when Carlos Santana crushed a hanging curveball over the 19-foot wall in left for a home run. The blast was Santana's 16th of the season. • What's next for Montgomery? "He kind of leverages the ball downhill," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Montgomery. "And his breaking ball, it was in and out of the zone and we had a really tough time laying off. Once a couple of them got called, then we started to chase it more. Their staff is really good. We made it probably even tougher, because we started going out of the zone more. They really took advantage of that." The Yankees' only other breakthrough arrived via an RBI double from Didi Gregorius in the first inning. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Gardy's got it: The sellout crowd of 34,651 roared in the ninth as Jose Ramirez lifted a deep fly ball to left field off Aroldis Chapman, sparking images of a possible two-run, walk-off homer. Brett Gardner had a different idea, as the Gold Glove Award-winning outfielder expertly tracked the ball to the wall and timed his leap perfectly on the warning track to take away what could have been an extra-base hit. Ronald Torreyes added a diving catch to steal a hit from the next batter, Edwin Encarnacion. Gardner's spectacular catch Gardner's spectacular catch Brett Gardner ranges toward the track and leaps to make a great catch in the bottom of the 9th inning "When he hit it, I wasn't sure," Gardner said. "I knew it was pretty high and I knew it was going to be really close to being a catchable ball. I just wasn't sure if it was going to land on the track or be halfway up the wall. It's a ball that [Aaron] Judge probably catches without having to jump. I'm fortunate it wasn't hit six inches higher, because it could have been a different result in the game." "Gardner makes a great play. And then the little bloop right there was a nice diving catch, too," McAllister said. "We had our chances right there. It's just one of those where that's tough. You have to tip your cap. They made good plays and we just missed a home run. There were multiple things where if the ball goes a different way, it's a different ballgame." More > Ellsbury's dive: After Francisco Lindor led off the sixth with a rocketed single off the wall in right, Brandon Guyer flared a pitch from David Robertson to shallow center. The ball looked destined for the grass until Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury dove to snare it at the last moment. Per Statcast™, the catch probability on the play was 75 percent, making it a 3-Star play for Ellsbury. The catch proved important, considering Michael Brantley followed with a single to left, before Robertson retired the next two batters to escape further harm. "Just because we're not scoring a lot of runs doesn't mean we can't win ballgames," Robertson said. "The pitching just has to get the job done, and we were able to do that tonight." QUOTABLE "I guess now it was a bad idea. It's one of those things, man. If the pitch is a little lower, Headley either takes or rolls over. Credit to Headley, man. He put a good swing on it. It pretty much won them the ballgame." -- Gomes, on calling back-to-back curves to Headley in the eighth inning WHAT'S NEXT Yankees: Right-hander Luis Severino (8-4, 2.98 ERA) is scheduled to work in Sunday's 1:10 p.m.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

  • Peter Gammons: the Cleveland Indians, Best Run Team in Professional Sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—T
    Peter Gammons: The Cleveland Indians, best run team in professional sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—The Cleveland Indians have won 454 games the last five years, 22 more than the runner-up Boston Red Sox. In those years, the Indians spent $414M less in payroll than Boston, which at the start speaks volumes about how well the Indians have been run. Two years ago, they got to the tenth inning of an incredible World Series game 7, in a rain delay. Last October they lost an agonizing 5th game of the ALDS to the Yankees, with Corey Kluber, the best pitcher in the American League hurt. They had a 22 game winning streak that ran until September 15, their +254 run differential was 56 runs better than the next best American League team (Houston), they won 102 games, they led the league in earned run average, their starters were 81-38 and they had four players hit between 29 and 38 homers, including 29 apiece from the left side of their infield, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. And they even drew 2.05M (22nd in MLB) to the ballpark formerly known as The Jake, the only time in this five year run they drew more than 1.6M or were higher than 28th in the majors. That is the reality they live with. One could argue that in terms of talent and human player development, the growth of young front office talent (6 current general managers and three club presidents), they are presently the best run organization in the sport, especially given their financial restraints.

  • Castrovince | October 23Rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- the Baseball Season Ends with Someone Else Celebrating
    C's the day before: Chicago, Cleveland ready By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com | @castrovince | October 23rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- The baseball season ends with someone else celebrating. That's just how it is for fans of the Indians and Cubs. And then winter begins, and, to paraphrase the great meteorologist Phil Connors from "Groundhog Day," it is cold, it is gray and it lasts the rest of your life. The city of Cleveland has had 68 of those salt-spreading, ice-chopping, snow-shoveling winters between Tribe titles, while Chicagoans with an affinity for the North Siders have all been biding their time in the wintry winds since, in all probability, well before birth. Remarkably, it's been 108 years since the Cubs were last on top of the baseball world. So if patience is a virtue, the Cubs and Tribe are as virtuous as they come. And the 2016 World Series that arrives with Monday's Media Day - - the pinch-us, we're-really-here appetizer to Tuesday's intensely anticipated Game 1 at Progressive Field -- is one pitting fan bases of shared circumstances and sentiments against each other. These are two cities, separated by just 350 miles, on the Great Lakes with no great shakes in the realm of baseball background, and that has instilled in their people a common and eventually unmet refrain of "Why not us?" But for one of them, the tide will soon turn and so, too, will the response: "Really? Us?" Yes, you. Imagine what that would feel like for Norman Rosen. He's 90 years old and wise to the patience required of Cubs fandom.

  • Indians Add Delabar, Banwart to Spring Camp by Jordan
    Indians add Delabar, Banwart to spring camp By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | January 13th, 2017 + 10 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- The Indians added a pair of arms to the Spring Training mix on Friday, signing right-handers Steve Delabar and Travis Banwart to Minor League contracts that include invitations to attend camp with the Major League club. Indians pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Spring Training at the team's headquarters in Goodyear, Ariz., on Feb. 12, with the first workout slated for Feb. 14. Delabar and Banwart represent the first pitchers added to the spring fold as non-roster players. Cleveland currently has seven non-roster invitees, along with its 40-man roster. Catchers Erik Kratz and Guillermo Quiroz, first baseman Chris Colabello, utilityman Michael Martinez and outfielder Daniel Robertson are also on the Indians' list of non-roster players who will be on hand this spring. Cleveland has yet to announce its non-roster invitees from within the club's farm system. Delabar, 33, has spent parts of six seasons in the Majors and was an American League All-Star in 2013 with the Blue Jays. That season, the right-hander turned in a 3.22 ERA and had 82 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings. Last year, Delabar split his time between Triple-A Louisville (2.62 ERA in 17 games) and Cincinnati (seven games) before being granted his release at the end of June. He has had stints with the Mariners, Blue Jays and Reds in his career. Banwart, 30, was in the Indians' system in 2014 but then went on to play in parts of three seasons in the Korean Baseball League.
