The Juice: Red Sox lose to O’s again; Papelbon blows save in eighth

Posted by on September 22, 2011 No comments

1. Red menace: The Boston Red Sox jersey fell to 5-15 in September after the Orioles beat them 7-5 on Tuesday night, with closer Jonathan Papelbon (notes) blowing a save in the eighth inning. Fenway folks probably can’t wait for Robert Andino (notes) to leave; he went 3 for 5 with a three-run double to put the O’s ahead. Did we mention that the Orioles have 90 losses?

Watch Andino get to Papelbon

“It’s on me, no one else,” Papelbon told the assembled media conduits.

You see what happens when managers bring in closers before the ninth? Happy now, one-inning-save haters?!

Pap is mistaken about something, though. Another key to the game was Baltimore’s bullpen pitching six shutout innings, most notably three by Jo-Jo Reyes (notes) . Also: Pedro Strop (notes) might lead the 2012 O’s in holds. He looks great. Conversely, Boston starter Erik Bedard (notes) had a rough night .

2. Super: In the New York Yankees jersey ‘ 5-0 victory, Ivan Nova (notes) kept the Rays in check with seven scoreless innings. He has a 3.09 ERA in 15 starts since June 9 and is apparently the No. 2 starter heading to the playoffs. Also breaking: Curtis Granderson (notes) (3 for 5, four RBIs) is good.

Playoffs reset: The Yanks can clinch the AL East with one more win (or Boston loss), and the Red Sox stayed a game ahead of Tampa Bay in the loss column for the wild card. The Angels, who beat Toronto, gained a game on Boston and are three out.

3. Kicking birds: The unlikely combination of Ryan Theriot (notes) and rookie Adron Chambers (notes) led a comeback for the St. Louis Cardinals , who bolted to an 11-6 win against the Mets thanks to a six-run seventh inning. Theriot hit a two-run double and Chambers followed with a three-run triple to help Team Fredbird keep pace in the wild card race. They’ve won 11 of 13

4. Brave rebound: A night after an unbearable loss, the Atlanta Braves beat the Marlins 4-0 behind rookieRandall Delgado (notes) . Their lead in the wild card race used to be 10 1/2 games, but they’re happy to still be ahead by 2 1/2 with seven games left for themselves and eight for St. Louis.

5. Not Amish, just looks it: Can you feel the momentum for Clayton Kershaw (notes) and the Cy Young Award? He won his 20th game , beating the Giants 2-1. Kenley Jansen (notes) cut off a rally in the eighth by striking out pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval (notes) and Carlos Beltran (notes) .

6. It was nice: The Giants didn’t fall any further behind the Arizona Diamondbacks , who lost 5-3 to Charlie Morton (notes) and the Pirates. But they are about out of time. Arizona’s magic number is three.

7. Clench, not clinch: The champagne cocktail party the Philadelphia Phillies are planning has been delayed. The dastardly Washington Nationals beat them 4-3 in 10 innings and 3-0 to sweep a doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park.

8. The West was still: The AL West remains unchanged after the Texas Rangers jersey beat the A’s 7-2 with the help of an Adrian Beltre (notes) three-run home run. The Los Angeles Angels beat the Blue Jays 10-6 with Mark Trumbo (notes) getting home run No. 29 . Jays lefty Brett Cecil (notes) pitched poorly in his first post-blender start.

How The West Will Be Won: Oakland Athletics

Posted by on March 21, 2011 No comments

Oakland went into the offseason coming in a close second behind the Texas Rangers Jersey in the AL West. Hungry for more, they struck a deal almost immediately with the Kansas City Royals for outfielder David DeJesus. David DeJesus put up great numbers last year, a slash line of .318/.384/.443, which would be an immediate upgrade to the A’s, who posted a team slash line .256/.324/.378. DeJesus should rebound from his season ending injury last year, which occurred when he leaped against the right field wall to make a catch and tore a tendon in his right thumb. Once he rebounds, his bat is going to inject some life into the A’s lineup.
Along with DeJesus came Hideki Matsui Jersey and Josh Willingham, who are looking to replace the power lost in the departure of Jack Cust. These two combined for 44 HR’s, 140 RBI’s, and 90 XBH’s, which will look a lot better coming out of the 4-5 hole for Oakland then what they’ve had in a while. Angel fan’s are very familiar with Matsui, not only being a key player with rival New York Yankees Jersey for many years, but also as an Angel after coming to LA after the 2009 season. Although Matsui still carries the ability to put up strong numbers, his decline (while graceful) is becoming apparent. The Coliseum is notorious for heavily favoring pitchers, so those power numbers will most likely take a small dip next season. Still, a 3-4-5 of DeJesus-Willingham/Matsui-Matsui/Willingham will improve the A’s offensive greatly, but will they do enough to send the A’s to the 2011 playoffs? It all really depends on the performance of the regulars from last year.

Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers Jersey and Bud Black of the San Diego Padres were named winners of the Connie Mack Award by the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, noting them as the best managers in their respective leagues for 2010.
Washington, who weathered a drug controversy in spring training, led Texas to their fifth divisional title since 1994 and their first since 1999.  While the voting was based on his regular season accomplishments, Washington also guided his team to their first ever postseason series victory when they eliminated the Tampa Bay Rays Jersey in five games in the American League Divisional Series.
Washington received ten first place votes in route to accumulating 74 total points.  He edged out Minnesota Twins Jersey manager Ron Gardenhire, who received 67 points.
In the National League, Black’s guidance of a Padres team almost universally expected to finish last to first place most of the summer helped him edge Dusty Baker of the Cincinnati Reds by the slimmest of margins.  The fact that the Padres fell just short of the playoffs while the Reds won the NL Central helped lead to the tight race.  Black garnered nine first place selections and 53 total points to Baker’s seven first place nods and 51 total points.
