Cincinnati Reds' Bullpen Has Entered a Game Under Ideal Conditions CCiinncciinnnnaattii RReeddss MMeeddiiaa CClliippss MMaayy 2211,, 22001166 Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings May 21, 2016 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 2012-Mike Leake, Zack Cozart and Drew Stubbs produce back-to-back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning, all off the Braves Mike Minor, setting a club record MLB.COM Straily solid, but bullpen unravels in loss By Cody Pace and Kevin Goheen / MLB.com | 1:53 AM ET + 214 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Reds' bullpen squandered another early lead, leading to an 8-3 Mariners win at Great American Ball Park on Friday night. Cincinnati had a 3-0 lead before Seattle scored eight unanswered runs -- seven of them coming against relievers in the final three innings. After escaping some trouble and throwing nearly 50 pitches in his first two innings, Reds starter Dan Straily settled down, allowing one run on two hits -- both courtesy of Kyle Seager, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI -- over his final four innings. However, the early trouble left him at 110 pitches after six, meaning he had to hand the game over to the troubled 'pen for the seventh. Blake Wood took over and faced four batters without recording an out. He loaded the bases after two leadoff singles to Leonys Martin and Norichika Aoki and walked in a run before Tony Cingrani took over. Cingrani hit Robinson Cano with his first pitch and gave up a two-out, two-run go-ahead single to pinch-hitter Dae-Ho Lee, giving the Mariners a four-run rally on just three hits. "Obviously, today was a nightmare," said Wood, who saw his ERA jump from 3.10 to 4.87. "Ultimately, it's one game. I cost us the game, but I've got to move on. We've all got to move on. It's just the nature of the game. We're going to play a game tomorrow. I just have to try to get back in that frame of mind I was in before tonight." "It was a little slow-going offensively. We didn't get much going off of Straily early on, but we hung in there," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "A few hits, walks, a hit-by-pitch and a big pinch-hit by Dae-Ho Lee. Awesome." Seattle was anchored by a quality start from Hisashi Iwakuma, who went six innings and gave up three runs on six hits with six strikeouts, and then a shutout performance from the bullpen. The Mariners picked up a pair of late insurance runs in the ninth inning on a pair of solo home runs by Nelson Cruz and Lee against Jumbo Diaz. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Buckling down: Iwakuma and the Mariners were trailing 3-0 in the fourth inning with the Reds threatening for more runs, but Iwakuma was able to strand the bases loaded. After retiring Jay Bruce to begin the inning, Iwakuma walked Eugenio Suarez and then gave up back-to-back singles to Adam Duvall and Tucker Barnhart. Straily's sacrifice bunt put runners on second and third base. Iwakuma walked Zack Cozart intentionally to bring up Billy Hamilton. Hamilton lined Iwakuma's 1-2 pitch to center field, but it hung up for Martin to make the catch and end the inning. "Just keep the ball down, make him put the ball in play, and it worked out well," Iwakuma said of facing Hamilton. "I was fighting my command early on. I was going side to side instead of top to bottom, and that gave me a hard time commanding the ball down in the zone but I was able to make the adjustment towards the end and it paid off." Straily battles: Continuing the trend from his last start, Straily managed to get himself into trouble and work his way around it. Straily needed 19 pitches to get through the first inning, and then in the second, he issued a leadoff walk to Seager, followed by a single to Adam Lind. He managed to strike out two of the next three batters and force Ketel Marte to ground out and end the inning. Even after settling down, Straily put on the leadoff batter in each of his final three innings. Take two for the team: Cano had been hit by a pitch just once in his first 34 games of the season. He doubled that Friday night, and both were key in the Mariners' comeback. Straily hit Cano to lead off the sixth inning, and two batters out later, he scored Seattle's first run of the game on a double to the right-field corner by Seager. In the seventh inning, with the bases loaded, nobody out and the Mariners down one, Cano drove in the tying run when Cingrani hit him with the first pitch he threw after relieving Wood. Cano has 10 career grand slams, but the Reds didn't give him a shot at No. 11. Cozart goes deep: Cozart hit his fifth home run of the season in the third inning, giving the Reds a 3-0 lead. While the home run marked Cozart's fifth of the season, all five have come in his last 22 games. Cozart is hitting .299 over that span with 12 RBIs. QUOTABLE "I was waiting for a fastball, and it was a fastball, so I hit it." -- Lee, on his two-run, go-ahead pinch-hit single in the seventh inning "I've got nothing for Tony Cingrani except an appreciation. He came in, threw him a backed up slider, hit Cano, certainly not what he wanted to do. He comes into not an impossible situation, but a very difficult one and tried to maintain the lead there. I felt like if we could get out of there in a tie game, even with one down, he really would have done it. It would have been a nice job. It ends up he ties the game after the first pitch, but has two big hitters in Cruz and Seager and makes great pitches. And then Lee does a nice job staying on a fastball out over the plate and shooting it to right." -- Reds manager Bryan Price, on his bullpen's struggles SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS In the sixth inning, Hamilton made a spectacular diving catch deep in the gap near the warning track in left-center field. Hamilton ranked third among all outfielders coming into Friday's game in Fangraphs' range runs with 4.7, the number of runs above replacement a player is based on the amount of ground covered. UPON FURTHER REVIEW The Mariners challenged an out call at the plate against Cano in the seventh inning but the replay officials confirmed the call that there was no violation of the Home Plate Collision Rule. Cano was called out on a caught stealing, 1-3-6-2, on a play that began with Cingrani catching Lee straying too far off first base. WHAT'S NEXT Mariners: Felix Hernandez goes for his fourth win of the season on Saturday in the 1:10 p.m. PT start. He became the Mariners' franchise leader in wins (146) when he beat Tampa Bay on May 9, surpassing former left-hander Jamie Moyer. Reds: John Lamb looks to rebound from a rough four-inning, seven-run outing against Cleveland on Monday, as he searches for his first win of the season in the 4:10 ET start Saturday against the Mariners. Wood comes undone as Reds' 'pen struggles Right-hander allows four to reach base, recording no outs By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | 12:48 AM ET + 36 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- As irritated as Reds fans have become about the state of the team's bullpen, it doesn't compare to manager Bryan Price's level of frustration. No matter what combination of relievers Price uses, it backfires, just as it did in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners. "We had to get nine outs and just found it was very, very challenging to get there," Price said. "Well, it was impossible. We didn't get there today." Dan Straily threw six innings -- the rotation's first start of that length since May 11 -- of one-run baseball, exiting the game with a 3- 1 lead. But four relievers combined to give up seven earned runs for the bullpen's Major League-leading 14th loss. "I keep saying it and I get sick of hearing myself talk about these types of games," Price said. "It's the same game. ... I don't want to hear how hard people are working. I want to see some results or I want to see some change, one of the two." About 24 hours earlier, Price sang the praises of Blake Wood. The reliever, who stood out with a nice month of May to that point, threw 10 pitches in a loss vs. the Indians during a perfect ninth inning. Taking over for Straily, Wood faced four Mariners and retired none of them while allowing two singles and two walks. "That's what is completely baffling," Wood said. "I can go from a night like last night where you feel like you're in complete control and dominate those guys to a night like tonight, which was probably the worst outing I've ever had -- at least in the big leagues for sure. It's unbelievably frustrating. I'm sure Bryan is shaking his head kind of like I am, just wondering how it can go from what I featured last night to tonight." Wood, who came in with a 1.74 ERA in 10 appearances for the month, saw his overall ERA jump from 3.10 to 4.87 in one night.

INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Eugenio Suarez Celebrates After Hitting a Solo Home Run Off San Diego Padres Relief Pitcher Brad Hand in the Seventh Inning Thursday, Aug
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 24, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-The Reds release Ken Griffey, Sr. MLB.COM 'Tokki 2' belts 33rd homer as Reds fall to Cubs By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:05 AM ET + 196 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Cubs are playing the right teams at the right time to enable them to pull away in the National League Central division race. A 9-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night -- aided by a three-run first inning and five-run fourth -- was their fifth win in a row. "Collectively, we were all going through a down period [in the first half of the season]," infielder Tommy La Stella said. "The talent has always been there. It's starting to turn for us right now, and turn at the right time." With the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Giants, the Cubs opened a season-high 3 1/2-game lead in the division. In the midst of playing 13 straight games against last-place teams -- the Blue Jays, Reds and Phillies -- Chicago has won seven of the first nine games. For the season series, the Cubs have also won 10 of 15 games vs. the Reds. "You can struggle in the second half or you can learn from your mistakes and get better," winning pitcher Mike Montgomery said after the Cubs moved 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. "Now it's all about getting into the playoffs. We're completely over last year." Reds starter Asher Wojciechowski had a wobbly outing from the get-go as he faced eight batters -- and walked three -- in a 35-pitch first inning and allowed three runs.

  • Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy After 9/11 Michael L
    Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2005, pp. 107–129 Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy after 9/11 Michael L. Butterworth Baseball was among the most prominent American institutions to respond to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Tributes at ballparks across the country promised comfort to millions in shock but soon developed into rituals of victimization that affirmed the Bush administration’s politics of war, discouraged the expression of dissenting opinions, and burdened the nation with yet another disincentive to reflect constructively on its response to terrorism. This essay views the aftermath of 9/11 as a quasi-religious social drama in which ballpark tributes became a ritualized vehicle for a belligerent patriotism that sought unity at the expense of democratic discourse. Keywords: Baseball; Democracy; Patriotism; War on Terrorism; Rituals of Victimization On October 12, 2003, the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins played in the fifth game of baseball’s National League Championship Series. Thousands of Chicago fans, hoping to see their team end a 58-year World Series drought, made their way to Miami’s Pro Player Stadium and provided loyal and raucous support for the visiting Cubs. When the game reached the seventh-inning stretch, Cubs fans enthusiastically began singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but they were quickly silenced by the stadium’s public address system and the remaining fans who belted out “God Bless America” instead. One fan in a Cubs hat and jersey lamented, “Come on, it’s a baseball game!” Only after the public display of patriotism had subsided were Cubs fans able to perform their song.1 Michael L.

Twins history began in 1961 when Washington Senators president Calvin Griffith made the historic decision to move his family’s team to the Midwest, settling on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota. The new team was named after the state’s famous Twin Cities and began their inaugual season with a talented roster featuring Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual, and Jim Lemon. Homegrown talents Jim Kaat, Zoilo Versalles, Jimmie Hall, and Tony Oliva combined with the Twins already potent nucleus to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s.
