    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.

(NCBWA) --- UCLA relief pitcher David Berg is the 2013 recipient of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s Stopper of the Year Award, the NCBWA announced Saturday prior ot the beginning of the College World Series. Berg, the 2013 Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, has posted a record of 7-0 with 21 saves while currently leading the nation in ERA with a 0.88 mark. Berg's 21 saves are also a new UCLA single-season record and rank tied for second in all of Division I baseball, two shy of tying the single-season NCAA Division I record. In addition, he is second in the country in WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) with a mark of 0.80 and has allowed the second-lowest opposing batting average (.194) in the conference. The sophomore from Covina, Calif., has also given up fewest runs (7) and walks (8) in the Pac-12, while appearing in the most games in the conference (46). At one point this season, the first team All-American did not allow a run in 37 consecutive innings, which was the longest consecutive scoreless innings streak in the nation this season. In the postseason this year, Berg has recorded three saves while finishing all five of UCLA's NCAA postseason games. The right-hander has helped UCLA post a current 44-17 overall record and a 21-9 record in the Pac-12 Conference.

    A’s News Clips, Monday, November 22, 2010 Drumbeat: Iwakuma info from Japan; pursuit almost officially over From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser 11/22/2010 12:10AM Update: I've received more detailed information from Japan since posting this, so will note that where necessary. I just got a call from Japan at midnight California time, and a source with knowledge of the A's talks with Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma told me that it is more than likely that Iwakuma's Pacific League team, Rakuten, will announce his return to the Golden Eagles today. Talks with the A's? "Ended," the source said. "I think so. I don't even know why they bid on the posting." New information: I'm told that the posting fee was $18 million, a bit higher than the $16 million that had been estimated in the U.S. That info came from Japan, not from a major-league source. According to the source in Japan, the A's were offering $3.8 million per year, a figure that did not include the posting fee; that's right in line with the $3-5 million per year average the Chronicle reported on Sunday. The A's, the source said, wanted to use Texas pitcher Colby Lewis, who pitched in Japan before returning to become a top-notch starter with the Rangers, as a comparison; Lewis will make $3 million next season. Kei Igawa's five-year, $20 million deal with the Yankees was also mentioned. "They basically said take it or leave it," the Japanese source said of the A's.

  • Baseball and Statistics: Rethinking Slugging Percentage
    Baseball and Statistics: Rethinking Slugging Percentage Tanner Mortensen December 5, 2013 Abstract In baseball, slugging percentage represents power, speed, and the ability to generate hits. This statistic does not account for the relative skill of the opponent. We develop a new statistic that will more accurately rank players based on their opponents performance in addition to their own. We assign weights to the slugging percentage of batters and pitching effectiveness of pitchers and use linear algebra to determine these weights. Introduction Behind every hit, strikeout, run, win, loss and World Series victory lies statistics. These statistics track every player's performance through the highs and lows of their respective seasons and careers as a whole. Statistics are used for determining awards in batting and pitching based on recorded actions throughout the season. Several of these awards take into account the slugging percentage or pitching effectiveness of a certain player for the season in question. However, the effectiveness and current performance of the opposing players are not taken into account when awarding honors such as the Golden Glove, Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. By assigning weights to the opposing batters and pitchers through performance, a player's statistical value and rating can be determined using linear algebra. More specifically, the weighted slugging percentage and the weighted pitching effectiveness are found by finding a specific eigenvector of a matrix. Using these weighted statistics, comparisons can be drawn between current leaders of slugging percentage against leaders of weighted slugging percentage of the same season. Background Major League Baseball (MLB) consists of 30 teams, each with a set roster of batters and pitchers for that particular season.
