Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 18, 2020 Braves.Com Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 18, 2020 Braves.com Cy Young poll: The 2020 favorites are ... By David Adler The two Cy Young Award races this year are completely different, but both are coming into focus as the 2020 season gets down to the wire. In the American League, Shane Bieber has dominated since Opening Day. The National League race has been much more wide open, but a trio of front-runners has emerged in Yu Darvish, Jacob deGrom and Trevor Bauer. Who deserves to be named each league's best pitcher? We put it up to the voters. MLB.com asked its reporters and analysts to fill out their 2020 NL and AL Cy Young Award ballots, following our MVP poll last week. There were 38 voters in total. Reporters were asked to rank their top five choices in each league, with five points awarded for a first-place vote, four for second, etc. Here are the MLB.com picks for the AL and NL Cy Young Award winners. AMERICAN LEAGUE 1) Shane Bieber, Indians (38 first-place votes, unanimous) It's no surprise that Bieber was the pick to win the AL Cy Young Award. Really, it's not even much of a surprise that he was the unanimous No. 1 choice. That's how good Bieber has been. The Indians ace isn't just the AL Cy Young favorite, he could get real AL MVP Award consideration. Bieber is in position to win a pitching Triple Crown, as he leads the Major Leagues with eight wins and 112 strikeouts and is second with a 1.74 ERA. He just became the fastest starting pitcher to reach 100 K's in a season in the modern era. 2) Lance Lynn, Rangers A bulldog on the mound for Texas, Lynn is second in the Majors in innings pitched (71 1/3), and they've been good innings. The 33-year-old right- hander has a 2.40 ERA and 79 strikeouts in those 71 1/3 innings, ranking third in the AL ERA race and fourth in strikeouts. Lynn has pitched some of his best baseball against the AL West-leading A's, going 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA and 25 strikeouts in his three starts against the Rangers' division rivals. 3) Lucas Giolito, White Sox Giolito has the defining pitching moment of the 2020 season: his brilliant 13-strikeout no-hitter against the Pirates on Aug. 25. But he's not the third-place AL Cy Young Award finisher in our poll for that achievement alone. Giolito is the ace for the playoff-bound White Sox team that's shot up to the top of the AL Central, with a 3.53 ERA, 86 strikeouts (third most in the AL) and 66 1/3 innings pitched (third most in the AL). 4) Kenta Maeda, Twins Maeda has been everything the Twins could have hoped for when they acquired him from the Dodgers in February. In his first season in Minnesota, the veteran Maeda ranks fourth in the AL with a 2.52 ERA and leads the league with a 0.758 WHIP. He's the best pitcher for a Minnesota team that's in playoff position and fighting for a second straight division title. 5) Dylan Bundy, Angels An under-the-radar offseason acquisition has paid major dividends for the Angels, who got a breakout starter in Bundy this year. Though some of our Cy Young Award ballots were cast before Bundy allowed a season-high five earned runs in his start on Wednesday, Bundy struck out a season- best 12 in the start right before that, and he still ranks seventh in the league in ERA (3.12), seventh in strikeouts (69) and sixth in K/9 (10.24). Others receiving votes: Dallas Keuchel (White Sox), Gerrit Cole (Yankees), Liam Hendriks (A's), Hyun Jin Ryu (Blue Jays), Andrew Heaney (Angels), Brad Keller (Royals), Chris Bassitt (A's) NATIONAL LEAGUE 1) Yu Darvish, Cubs (17 first-place votes) Darvish vs. deGrom vs. Bauer is a great NL Cy Young Award race, and the Cubs ace got the slightest of edges in our NL poll. Like Bieber in the AL, Darvish has a chance at a Triple Crown in the NL if he finishes the season strongly. He's tied for the league lead with seven wins, sits just behind Bauer in the ERA race at 1.86 and is right on the heels of Aaron Nola, Bauer and deGrom for the league strikeout lead with 79. 2) Jacob deGrom, Mets (15 first-place votes) deGrom might well have been the frontrunner for the NL Cy Young Award going into his start Wednesday, but he was forced out early with hamstring spasms. Some votes in our poll came in before deGrom pitched, but the Mets ace is still one of the top few NL Cy Young Award candidates, ranking fifth in the NL in ERA (2.09) and third in strikeouts (80). DeGrom plans to see the 2020 season through to the end, and if he returns to "deGrominant" form in his final two starts, he could pull off a historic NL Cy Young Award three-peat that might even give him a chance at Cooperstown. 3) Trevor Bauer, Reds (5 first-place votes) Bauer is rising up to the top of the NL Cy Young Award conversation. He's the league leader in ERA (1.71) and ranks second in strikeouts (83), and he's also thrown a pair of seven-inning shutouts. Bauer's last two starts were both double-digit strikeout performances that lowered his ERA from over 2 to well under. He was dominant at the start of the season and he's dominating at the finish, and it just might be enough to push him over the top in the NL Cy Young Award race. 4) Max Fried, Braves (1 first-place vote) Fried has been on the injured list recovering from back spasms, but he's set to return Friday, and the fact that he's still fourth in our NL Cy Young Award poll tells you how great he's been on the mound this year. Fried is a perfect 6-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his nine starts, and he's allowed no home runs, making him the only pitcher who's thrown at least 50 innings and not allowed a single homer. The 26-year-old lefty stepped up to lead the first-place Braves rotation after Mike Soroka went down with a season-ending Achilles tear, and Fried is returning just in time for the postseason. 5) Dinelson Lamet, Padres Lamet is the ace the electric Padres needed as they rose up to challenge the Dodgers in the NL West this year. The right-hander was great down the stretch in 2019, with four double-digit strikeout games in the final two months, and he's only been better in 2020. Lamet is sixth in the NL with a 2.12 ERA, tied for fourth with Darvish and Max Scherzer with 79 strikeouts, and he's racked up 11 K's in each of his last two starts, including an absolute gem to outduel Clayton Kershaw and beat the Dodgers in his latest outing. Others receiving votes: Corbin Burnes (Brewers), Aaron Nola (Phillies), Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers), Devin Williams (Brewers), Luis Castillo (Reds) Atlanta Journal-Constitution Ten games to go until playoffs, and here’s where Braves stand By Tim Tucker, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution This is the time of year when baseball players traditionally engage in “scoreboard watching,” sneaking peeks between pitches or innings at how teams near them in the standings are faring in games elsewhere. Not this year, as most stadiums apparently have streamlined their in-game information displays because no fans are in attendance. “They don’t have out-of-town scoreboards, so there’s no scoreboard to look at,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “I wish they did have them, but they don’t. Maybe that’s good. We’ll focus on what we’re trying to do and not worry about anybody else.” The waning days of the regular season – the pennant stretch, to use the vernacular held over from baseball’s pre-divisions era -- just feel different this year. Maybe it’s because of the strangeness of the shortened season. Maybe it’s because the inflated number of teams that will reach the expanded playoffs has further diluted the significance of division titles. Maybe it’s because of the empty seats. Or because fans have so much else on their minds in 2020. “It’s never felt normal from the get-go,” Snitker said of this season. But with just 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Braves lead the National League East by three games over the second-place Miami Marlins, who will come to Atlanta next week. Here’s where the Braves – and the postseason picture – stand heading into the final stretch of a season like no other: REMAINING SCHEDULE The Braves' final 10 regular-season games include a three-game series against the Mets in New York this weekend and a seven-game homestand next week (four against the surprising Marlins and three against the disappointing Boston Red Sox). Max Fried, the Braves' No. 1 starting pitcher, will return from the 10-day injured list (muscle spasms in his back) to start Friday’s game in New York. His velocity fell off sharply in his last start before he went on the IL, so it bears watching if he’s back to peak form.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Monday, September 21, 2020 Braves.com Wright baffles Mets in 6 1/3-inning, 1-hit gem By Mark Bowman Ronald Acuña Jr. was bound to right himself before the postseason arrived. But the fact Kyle Wright has also started the regular season’s home stretch on a good note gives the Braves even more reason to be excited about what October might bring. Acuña’s solo homer provided all of the necessary support for Wright, who constructed a career-best start in the Braves’ 7-0 win over the Mets on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The right-hander’s confidence has grown significantly as he’s used his past two starts to show he has the potential to lessen concerns about the postseason rotation. “He’s been tremendous,” said catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who hit a two-run double in the eighth inning. “His demeanor on the mound and his demeanor in between innings, he’s been carrying himself really well. He’s just been attacking guys.” The Braves’ magic number to clinch a third consecutive National League East title has been reduced to six with seven games remaining, four of which will be played against the second-place Marlins this week. Looking ahead to the postseason, the Braves’ rotation will likely include Max Fried, Ian Anderson, Cole Hamels and Wright, who had essentially been a candidate by default before he produced two of the strongest starts of his young career over the past eight days. Wright earned his first career win with six strong innings at Nationals Park last weekend.

  • Tribe's Eye Remains on WS Prize in 2018 by Jordan
    Tribe's eye remains on WS prize in 2018 By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian CLEVELAND -- When word began to spread that Carlos Santana had agreed to a free-agent contract with the Phillies, Indians catcher Yan Gomes fired off a text to his long-time teammate. Santana was well-liked inside Cleveland's clubhouse and productive on the field, but his departure does not damper the Tribe's expectations for 2018. "Guys are going to step up and pick up the roles of the guys that we lost," Gomes said recently. "We don't go into the offseason thinking there's some secret magic guy out there that's going to, boom, join us and next thing you know we're World Series champions. We have a good enough team. We don't need to panic. We believe that we do have a good enough team." The Indians were the American League champions two seasons ago with much of the same group that's still on the roster, and they are coming off a 102-win campaign that ended with an early October exit. Cleveland has also absorbed some losses this winter (Santana, plus relievers Bryan Shaw and Joe Smith), but it still fields a team capable of contending for a third straight AL Central crown. The offseason is not over, but the year 2017 is officially in the books. Here are some questions facing the Indians in 2018: 1. Can the rotation continue to carry the load? The Indians' rotation led baseball with 81 wins last season and paced the AL (second in MLB) with a 3.52 ERA.
