  • 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).

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, October 3
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, October 3, 2010 Oakland A's see bigger things for shorstop Cliff Pennington By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune People throughout the A's organization speak highly of shortstop Cliff Pennington's play this season. Pennington is a bit more critical. "I've definitely got some things I need to work on," he said before Saturday's 5-3 win over the Seattle Mariners. "I can improve my consistency at the plate and obviously work on cutting down those errors on defense." So as the curtain draws on his first full big league season, Pennington has room for improvement. But with the A's facing decisions all over the diamond this offseason, they don't appear concerned with their shortstop. Pennington has started 146 of Oakland's 161 games, no small feat on a team that lost player after player to injury. He also has established himself as a rapidly improving defense player who has displayed excellent range while justifying the A's decision to install him as the starter after only 96 games of major league experience. "I think he's made a lot of strides both offensively and defensively," A's general manager Billy Beane said. "Last year he kind of ran out of gas. But I think he's improved a significant deal and has everything to be one of the best defenders at his position in the league." To be mentioned among the game's best shortstops, however, Pennington will have to reduce the errors. Only Miguel Tejada's 26 errors in 1998 were more by an A's shortstop over the past 23 years than Pennington's 25.
