Alex Cora Red Sox Pregame 3 Was a Cutter Down and In, That's Why I Went to Talk to Kimbrel in the 9Th When Tony Was Up, I Said, MLB World Series: Dodgers vs Red Sox Friday, October 26, 2018 Alex Cora Red Sox pregame 3 was a cutter down and in, that's why I went to talk to Kimbrel in the 9th when Tony was up, I said, "Hey, stay Q.

I heard somebody talking about Rick in changed their lineup dramatically against a righty Houston -- yeah, Houston, he pitched there -- yeah, starter. As a guy who has been a GM yourself, do that his stuff was a little bit down. I don't think his stuff you see this as another trend, just the roster was down. I just thought when we went to certain they've built with the versatility and the balance guys, it wasn't a good game plan. Like Tony Kemp, it and the talent to have such dramatic shifts from Rev #1 by #178 at 2018-10-26 22:11:00 GMT page 1 of 3 one day to the next? ALEX CORA: Yeah, I think versatility is huge In 2000 I played for Sandy Alamo Senior, and Sandy, nowadays. We talk about certain decisions we make he was a guy, he'll always tell you, the game will tell early in the season because of that. And like tonight you something, you just have to pay attention to it. The we're versatile tonight. We've got guys if we double- scoreboard is not for the fans, the scoreboard is for the switch or we run for them, we can move around, Blake, players.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

    The UCLA baseball program has sent eight players to play for the USA Baseball National Team a total of 10 times, beginning with the selection of Shane Mack in 1984. Most recently, former UCLA shortstop Brandon Crawford helped the U.S. National Team capture its second consecutive FISU (International University Sports Federation) World Championship in the summer of 2006. Crawford’s selection in 2006 marked the first time a Bruin had been named since Karp, a right-handed pitcher, competed for the national team in 2000. The 2006 U.S. National Team finished its summer campaign with a 28-2-1 mark and successfullyl defended its gold medal won in the 2004 FISU Tournament in Taiwan. UCLA’s student-athletes have not been the only individuals affiliated with the U.S. National Team.

  • A's News Clips, Tuesday, November
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, November 16, 2010 Power moves: A's target big bat in free agency Acquisitions of DeJesus, Encarnacion also provide trade bait By Jane Lee / MLB.com 11/16/2010 The A's last week jump-started the Hot Stove season by moving quickly in directions unforeseen. As a result, they're suddenly -- and surprisingly -- equipped with an additional outfielder and an extra third baseman. Oh, and they're in the process of negotiating with a starting pitcher. Yet none of these moves -- involving David DeJesus, Edwin Encarnacion and Hisashi Iwakuma, respectively -- fit the blueprint for an offseason map many assumed would be drawn out in Oakland this winter. This is a team loaded with glamorous pitching and defense, seemingly lacking nothing more than a couple big bats, after all. So has general manager Billy Beane simply started a game of dominoes? When the A's won bidding rights to negotiate with Iwakuma, a righty from Japan, the thought was that the hurler would lend the team a surplus of pitching that would allow it flexibility when trading for a needed power bat. Two days later, the A's shipped some of that pitching (Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks) for DeJesus, who is a quality outfielder but lacks that mentioned power. Fast-forward another two days, and the A's decided to pick up Encarnacion off waivers from Toronto. He surely can hit, but his glove is susceptible to error, and his presence means above-average defender Kevin Kouzmanoff's status is in limbo. There's a chance Encarnacion could DH or at least share those duties with a player to be named later, but there's also a chance Oakland is just a pit stop for him this winter.
