Kluber Logs 6 K's in Final AL Cy Young Case by Jordan Kluber logs 6 K's in final AL Cy Young case By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian KANSAS CITY -- The American League Cy Young Award race is going to come down to volume versus value in the eyes of voters. It is no surprise that Indians ace Corey Kluber once again finds himself in the annual conversation. In a 9-4 loss to the Royals on Saturday night, Kluber put the final touches on his Cy Young campaign, which will likely net a top-five finish rather than a third career plaque. Working on a limited pitch count, Kluber had mixed results in his final regular-season outing of 2018, walking away with a no-decision before the Tribe's bullpen concerns returned. "I'm going to always vote for Kluber," manager Terry Francona said. "And I don't apologize for that." Relief ace Andrew Miller and late-inning reliever Cody Allen combined to allow six runs across the sixth and seventh innings to help the Royals pull away. Both relievers have endured trying seasons, but they saw progress throughout the month of September. Over the past two games, though, the issues returned in the form of 10 combined runs allowed. While the bullpen will continue to be a talking point in the days leading up to the AL Division Series against the Astros, the Indians can at least move forward knowing the rotation has been the roster's strength. That starts at the top with Kluber, who is the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner. Kluber is currently lined up to be the Game 1 starter on Friday at Minute Maid Park. "He'll take the ball on Friday," Francona said. "And that's a big honor in itself, and he knows that. But, he's the guy we want to lead our staff." Limited to 80 pitches on Saturday, Kluber was charged with three runs on seven hits in five innings for the AL Central champions. One run scored on a bloop single by Meibrys Viloria in the second and two more crossed the plate on a Whit Merrifield double in the fourth that bounced off right fielder Melky Cabrera's glove. Against Royals righty Jakob Junis, the Indians managed three runs over six innings. Tribe slugger Jose Ramirez also launched a solo homer off reliever Kevin McCarthy in the eighth, marking the 39th shot of the season for the second baseman. Ramirez, who finished the night a triple shy of a cycle, entered the game batting .164 with one homer in 35 games dating back to Aug. 19, when his season average last stood at .300. "He just hit one the way you're supposed to," Francona said of Ramirez's home run. "That was so pretty." Kluber ended with six strikeouts and two walks in the performance, giving him 222 strikeouts vs. 34 walks on the season across his 33 starts. Overall, he finishes the regular season 20-7 with a 2.89 ERA in an AL-leading 215 innings. Kluber's 4.0-percent walk rate is the lowest mark in the AL and his 5.6 WAR (per Fangraphs) ranks sixth overall. "Innings pitched is important," Kluber said. "I think that's a reflection of being able to take the ball every fifth day or being able to work deep in the games, and hopefully give your team a chance to win. I think there's value in that. I don't think that it's the be all, end all, but I think it's important to be able to log a lot of innings." When it comes to wooing AL Cy Young voters, Kluber has competition. Astros ace Justin Verlander started on Saturday and finished 16-9 with a 2.52 ERA in 214 innings, in which he struck out 290, walked 37 and posted an AL-high 6.8 WAR. Rays lefty Blake Snell is also very much in the mix, going 21-5 with a pristine 1.89 ERA in 180 2/3 innings. Other candidates for the AL Cy Young Award include Boston's Chris Sale (12-4, 2.11 ERA, 158 innings), Cleveland's Trevor Bauer (12-6, 2.26 ERA in 171 1/3 innings) and Houston's Gerrit Cole (15-5, 2.88 ERA in 200 1/3 innings). "There's something to be said for guys that face the lineup that third or fourth time," Francona said. "That's when the majority of damage gets done with pitchers. Guys like Kluber or Verlander, they kind of stay out there. So, I think there's something to be said for that." "It wasn't the easiest year [for Kluber]," the manager added later. "Not everybody gets to see it, but I do -- how hard he works and how diligent he is. He finds a way, man, to be one of the best. We're proud of him." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Miller unravels: Heading into the game against the Royals, Miller had a 2.37 ERA with 21 strikeouts against five walks in 19 innings, dating to Aug. 1. The lefty has looked solid in September, but he encountered a setback in the sixth. With two out, Miller issued a walk and then yielded four consecutive hits, including a three-run homer to Adalberto Mondesi and an RBI single to Ryan O'Hearn. The five hits were the most allowed by Miller in a single appearance since Sept. 8, 2011, when he was a starting pitcher for the Red Sox. "I just didn't think he leveraged the ball downhill quiet as well," Francona said. "I think his stuff is still good and he got out to over 30 pitches again, which is really good. I just didn't think he was quite as downhill as he's been." Error in judgment: With two out, runners on the corners and Cleveland holding a 3-1 lead in the fourth, Merrifield lined a pitch from Kluber to right field. Cabrera broke in on the ball, tried to correct his route and then made a jumping attempt to catch the ball. On a play with a 99-percent catch probability, per Statcast™, the ball struck Cabrera's glove and fell to the grass, allowing two runs to score on what was ruled a game- tying double. "We didn't finish some plays," Francona said. "Shoot, it's 3-1, and Melky kind of came in and then didn't make the play, and that ended up being [two runs]. And then after that, the game got ugly." GOMES EXITS WITH INJURY All-Star catcher Yan Gomes left Saturday night's game in the third inning after hitting his right hand on Alex Gordon's bat. With none out, Mondesi attempted to steal second and Gordon swung at the pitch from Kluber. Gomes came up firing, hitting his throwing hand at full force as Gordon's bat lingered behind him on his backswing. Gomes immediately exited the game and was replaced by backup Roberto Perez. The Indians announced that Gomes sustained a right thumb contusion and laceration, but X-rays came back negative for any structural damage. "I think we kind of dodged a bullet there," Francona said. "He got a couple stitches, but it's just a contusion and the doctors feel like in a couple days, he'll get the swelling out of there and all that stuff. He could play with the stitches, but I think they think they can have them out of there by Tuesday or Wednesday. Again, I'm sure he's going to be sore for a few days, but it looks like he's going to be OK." HE SAID IT "I think you'll be able to see the difference a little bit here. Maybe before, I wasn't as focused and I was trying to hit the ball out a little bit too much. I just really don't think I was as focused as much as I am now." -- Ramirez, on his recent slump, via team interpreter Will Clements UP NEXT Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco (16-10, 3.42 ERA) will get the ball for the regular-season finale at 3:15 p.m. ET on Sunday against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Carrasco is scheduled to throw around 80 pitches in order to allow Trevor Bauer to enter in relief and build up his pitch count prior to the American League Division Series. Kansas City will counter with lefty Eric Skoglund (1-5, 5.40 ERA). Gomes has bruised thumb after hand hits bat By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian KANSAS CITY -- Indians catcher Yan Gomes dropped to a knee, inspected his bleeding right hand and immediately introduced another layer of uncertainty for the club ahead of the American League Division Series. In the third inning of the Tribe's 9-4 loss to the Royals on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium, Gomes sustained a right thumb contusion and laceration in a freak play behind the plate with six days remaining until the ALDS against the Astros (Game 1 is on Friday at Minute Maid Park). Gomes, who hit his hand on the bat of Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, received two stitches, but X-rays came back negative for any structural damage. Now, the Indians will wait to see how their All-Star catcher heals over the next handful of days. "It's just a contusion," manager Terry Francona said. "And the doctors feel like in a couple days, he'll get the swelling out of there and all that stuff.

    Contact: Abrielle Swisher Gordon C. James Public Relations Office: (602) 274-1988 Cell: (602) 370-5557 MLB Players Partner with Fans to Strike Out Poverty Across Globe Nine Players Combine Efforts to Bring Drinking Water and Crisis Relief to Hardest Places PHOENIX, AZ (March 28, 2019) – For many across the world, access to some of life’s most basic needs, like clean water and a nutritious meal, can be near impossible to come by. With that in mind, Major League Baseball (MLB) players have teamed up with Food for the Hungry (FH), a global humanitarian organization serving the vulnerable in over 20 countries, to raise money through the Striking Out Poverty campaign, in an effort to meet the most urgent needs in some of the poorest communities in the world. As the 2019 MLB season kicks off, nine players from four different MLB teams have committed to a variety of Striking Out Poverty projects and encourage fans to support them throughout the season to raise the necessary funds to meet their goals. These projects range from providing medical care to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, building school classrooms and providing clean water in Rwanda, providing emergency response to the current crisis in Venezuela and building baseball fields and implementing additional water filtration systems in the Dominican Republic. “Opening day doesn’t just mark the first day of the baseball season—it also marks the beginning of new hope for so many underserved communities,” says Milam Byers, Director of Sports Partnerships at Food for the Hungry. “We are excited to embark on our third year of changing lives, providing resources and looking past the scoreboard with the help of these players and their fans.” Baseball fans can support these projects and their favorite players by visiting www.pledgeit.org/team/sop-2019 or www.bigleagueimpact.org and clicking on the player’s picture to pledge for home runs, base steals, and learn more.

  • Post Produced Sets from 1960-1963 (That Is If You Can Consider the 1960 Group of Cards a Set Or If You Even Consider Them Cards)
    Post and Jello Sets from the 1960's- Updated 8/19/10 by Peter Mead Post produced sets from 1960-1963 (that is if you can consider the 1960 group of cards a set or if you even consider them cards). Here is my recap of the various sets. 1960 Post This is a set of nine cards (five baseball, two baseketball, two football). The cards are approximately 7 x 8 1/2 and were distributed on the backs of Grape Nuts cereal. These normally run above $25 each, even in OBC condition, with a few stars (Mantle) costing considerably more (the set includes Bob Cousey, Bob Pettitt, Frank Gifford, Johnny U, Kaline, Drysdale, Mathews, Mantle, and Killebrew). I have three of these and they all have the telltale sign of having been stuck to a wall with a thumbtack. 1961 Post This was Post's first of three annual 200 card sets that were traditionally found on the back of cereal boxes (or as an insert in those small ten-package variety packs). This is the only one of the three annual sets that has a box version and a company version. A complete set can not be put together without cards from both box and company variation. Box cards were cut off the back of cereal boxes by kids with scissors so they are perfect for the OBC collector. There are a number of box only cards, in other words, there are cards that were not part of the mail order company cards. Company cards arrived in team sets of ten cards and were separated by perforations.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, September 23, 2017 * The Boston Globe Red Sox put new formula to work in win over Reds Peter Abraham CINCINNATI — The Red Sox were up by a run after four innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night and Rick Porcello had thrown only 57 pitches. His performance had been erratic, the righthander putting eight men in base. But Porcello expected he would stay in the game because that is what managers traditionally do, they let starting pitchers try to hold a lead. But most managers do not have a pitcher of David Price’s caliber in the bullpen and John Farrell does. Farrell turned to Price in the fifth inning and he handed that lead over to Addison Reed with two outs in the seventh. Craig Kimbrel took over in the ninth and the Sox beat the Reds, 5-4. It was a dress rehearsal for the playoffs, the Sox using Price for multiple innings to get to Reed and Kimbrel. That combination can be as good if not better than what any other playoff team has. “You saw it last year in the playoffs, so many starters went five innings or even less. You need that guy to bridge the gap,” Reed said. “When that guy is David Price, it doesn’t get much better. We’re pretty damn excited to have him down there.” With the Yankees losing in Toronto, the Sox now lead the American League East by four games with nine games to play. “The ball’s in our court.

  • 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.
