Lipka has yet to get an opportunity beyond AAA. Until 2019, Lipka swung a bit of
a light stick and really did not get on base. However while with the Yankees AAA
affiliate, Scraton Wilkes-Barre, he did put up a slash line of .281/.361/.453
across 72 plate appearances. While with the Yankees AA affiliate, Trenton, Lipka
dropped down a bunt hit in the ninth inning to break up a no-hitter. Death
threats evidently came his way as a result.He did not play in 2020 as he was not
picked up by the Dodgers player pool in the COVID-19 shortened season. Since
there was no minor league season, he got no reps on a professional baseball
field. In 2021, however, he has put up the best numbers of his professional
career. Right now he is slashing .333/.393/.505. It is possible the Brewers are
looking to capture lightening in a bottle with a late-bloomer. Most likely,
Lipka will serve as organizational depth. Nonetheless, David Stearns and Company
are always looking to improve the Milwaukee Brewers organization, not just the
Brewers team, and they likely see Lipka in that light.Baseball statistics

They didn’t pitch well. Like, at all. It was just
incredibly bad. The only pitcher not to allow a run was the position player!
They barely hit. When they did hit, they couldn’t bring in the runners. It was a
very Oriole-like performance all around. And the White Sox did what a first
place team is supposed to do to a last place team. Just another ugly night at
Camden Yards. Taking the mound for the Orioles was Jorge López, who was just as
frustrating as we’ve all come to expect. He struggled a bit in the second inning
but came away unscathed. Things got uglier in the third. López only gave up a
single run, but needed 32 pitches to get through it. With one out, Tim Anderson
came up for the second time in the game and singled. One out later, José Abreu
walked, which set up an RBI chance for Brian Goodwin. Goodwin doubled to knock
in Anderson
Ryan
McKenna Jersey. López retired Adam Engel on a nifty play by Kelvin Gutiérrez
to end the inning. After a scoreless fourth inning whose worst part was a wild
pitch that looked to me like Pedro Severino’s fault (he is not fun to watch
behind the plate at all)
Curt Blefary
Jersey, things really fell apart in the fifth inning. Anderson started the
inning for the White Sox, which means that López was about to see batters for
the third time. Here is a friendly reminder of what happens to López the third
time through the order, from our friend Tyler Young: I mean…
pic.twitter.com/YZNGOlNJV5— Tyler Young July 10, 2021 López faced three batters
in the fifth inning and didn’t retire a single one. He gave up three straight
singles to Anderson, Yoán Moncada, and Abreu. The third single knocked in what
was, at the time, the go ahead run for the White Sox. Things could have gotten a
lot worse, but Brandon Hyde pulled López for Cole Sulser, who got the next three
batters without allowing another run. Well done, Cole! But wait, he screwed it
up. Sulser came back for the sixth inning and walked two batters. That was it
for him, but Dillon Tate was even worse. Tate was awful. The White Sox gave him
an out with a sac bunt and he still couldn’t get anything done. Anderson, who
was quite annoying in this game, hit a two RBI double and then Tate walked the
next three batters. Three! The last one knocked in a run that made it 5-1, and a
sacrifice fly made it 6-1. Finally Tate got the last out and we didn’t have to
look at him anymore. Not that it got any better. Tate was followed by César
Valdez, who gave up three runs on three hits in the seventh inning. There was
something to smile about in that inning, however. Valdez gave up a solo home run
to Gavin Sheets. Sheets is a local guy who just happens to be the son of former
Oriole Larry Sheets. MASN cameras capture the happy father in the stands several
times earlier in the game, and again looking joyful as he celebrated his son’s
third career major league home run. The Orioles were gonna lose this game no
matter what, so it was a nice moment to see. Joining in the parade of terrible
pitchers tonight was newcomer Shaun Anderson. Just claimed off waivers from the
Rangers, Anderson fit right in. He pitched a scoreless eighth inning with two
runners allowed, but couldn’t get out of the ninth inning. With two outs and two
runners on, Anderson served up a three-run homer to Engel that made the score
12-1. The next batter singled, and that was enough for Brandon Hyde. It was time
to see a position player! Pat Valaika, come on down! Or, uh, over. He was
already playing second base. Valaika got the third out of the ninth inning
without incident. I haven’t mentioned the offense yet and that’s really because
there is nothing to mention. The lone Orioles run came in the second inning on a
Ramón Urias home run. Other than that the only offense was several wasted
opportunities. In the first inning, Trey Mancini doubled and Ryan Mountcastle
walked, but they were stranded. In the fourth inning, it looked like Anthony
Santander led off with a homer, but on review it was correctly called a double.
He was also stranded. Gutiérrez and Cedric Mullins started the fifth with
back-to-back singles but Austin Hays grounded into a double play and no runs
scored
https://www.baltimoregearshop.com/trey-mancini-jersey.
Two more runners were stranded in the sixth inning. They went 0-for-8 with
runners in scoring position. The White Sox starter Dallas Keuchel got into
trouble quite a bit but the Orioles just couldn’t capitalize. Because they are
the Orioles. That’s what they do. Orioles lose, 12-1. Just ugly baseball all
around. They’re back in action tomorrow night with Thomas Eshelman on the mound.
So, you know, that should go well.
four consecutive years of losing 90+ games, and a seemingly
endless amount of time since the Cincinnati Reds ever played a game with any
sort of relevance
https://www.crfanshop.com/jesse-winker-jersey,
it seems somewhat of a fool’s errand to attempt to pen a season review piece
about what went right this season. On the whole, of course, things haven’t been
right, weren’t right this year, and don’t appear to be - on paper - fixed enough
to project much pending right for next year.First, we looked at the things that
actually went well for the Reds, of which there were actually a surprisingly
decent few.Next up, we examined the aspects of the team that didn’t exactly
exceed expectations, but were solid enough parts to at least consider them as
OK.Today, we get to the fun stuff. The juicy stuff. The back-breaking,
mind-numbing, standings-crushing aspects of the 2018 Reds that were the fuel
behind their 67-95 fire and, almost as importantly, behind the malaise many of
us currently have with the rebuild’s pace. Gahhh.One-run games - or, rather,
losing by one-run all the dang time.Way, way back in the year 2005, when YouTube
was still in its infancy, Twitter had yet to exist, and Facebook was still going
by “The Facebook,” The Hardball Times was already diving into interesting,
provocative pieces about the game of baseball as we knew it - and as we hoped to
know it. It was in that year that former HT editor Dave Studeman dove into some
of the statistics behind team results in one-run games, noting that regardless
of overall team record, teams records’ in one-run games feature a winning %
much, much closer to .500 than in any other outcome.That’s a long-winded way of
saying that despite the true talent of teams, and despite how good they are
overall in a 162 game season, one-run games - at least by win/loss % - are
largely a toss-up. That puts this nugget of information from former Red Reporter
fearless leader Joel Luckhaupt a bit more into context:Since 1900, worst record
in one-run games1935 Braves 7-311937 Browns 10-311999 Royals 11-321916 A's
11-321936 Phillies 12-342018 Reds 10-28— Joel Luckhaupt September 28, 2018Of
course, that tweet came on September 28th, and the Reds still found a way to
lose another one-run game before the end of the season, meaning they clocked in
with a brutal, abysmal 10-29 record in their 39 games decided by a lone run this
year. I can’t even...Gahhhhh.The thing is, it’s often cited that the ability to
manufacture runs the old way, meaning with steals and bunts and moving runners
over, is one reason why teams succeed in tight contests. Well, given Jim
Riggleman’s proclivity for bunting, the stolen base prowess of both Billy
Hamilton and Jose Peraza, and the team’s 19.1% K-rate being only the 19th
highest in all of baseball, you’d think that wouldn’t be a problem on the
offensive side of the ball in these contests. Pair that with revamped back of
the bullpen - also a reasonable surface indicator of teams that win close games
- and you’d think, if anything
https://www.crfanshop.com/jesse-winker-jersey,
one-run games might’ve actually been a place where the Reds excelled.Nope.
Gahhhh.Heck, they even hit .254 with men in scoring position, which was the 11th
best mark in baseball, ahead of the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee
Brewers, and Los Angeles Dodgers, among many others.For whatever reason, they
were abysmal in these type games, the worst in all MLB, and it brutalized their
overall record. If they went, say, 20-19 in those games - hell, the San Diego
Padres went 22-21 in one-run games - that turns their 67-95 season record into a
77-85 record, and while that still sucks an egg, it’s at least a somewhat
shinier egg.This is the part where we mention injuries happen, and are no excuse
for losing.OK, this here’s a caveat, and one that I mentioned up top in the
intro. The injuries the Reds faced this year were brutal, of course, but those
simply cannot be fall-back reasons for the abysmal record in the standings. That
said, I’m including them here because they’re a big, big reason behind the
end-of-season malaise I think many of us faced, and that’s why I’ll mention it
here.Y’see, even in awful years, late August and the month of September at least
usually give rebuilding teams a chance to bring up their talented youngsters -
the future of the organization - and give the fans a different perspective when
they show up at games. Sure, they might lose again, but at least we’ll get to
watch those guys who are supposed to dig this team out of the cellar in the
future! LET’S GOOOOOOO!Nope. Not so much this year.Jesse Winker’s rookie season
was cut short by a freak shoulder jam, meaning the .400+ OBP and emerging power
we saw from him that helped catapult the offense into relevance mid-year was
long gone by September. Nick Senzel, a consensus Top 5 prospect in the game and
presumptive mid-year call-up candidate, found out he’s no Stretch Armstrong when
bending his finger twelve awkward ways on a slide, and was done for the season
before ever getting a chance to be called up. Even Lucas Sims - the most
promising piece of the Adam Duvall trade to Atlanta - had his shoulder flame out
before he could ever start a game in September, meaning we’ll go into this
offseason without knowing whether he might be one of the few young pitchers who
can help this rotation going forward (more on that below
Cincinnati Reds T-shirts, of
course).Scott Schebler faced multiple DL stints. Eugenio Suarez was shelved
early. Michael Lorenzen and David Hernandez missed a month, which preceded the
signing of Yovani Gallardo. Gahhhh. Even the indestructible Joey Votto landed on
the DL for a time, ending a run of Cincinnati Reds seasons that were admittedly
awful but buoyed by his record-breaking talent sending out statistical anomalies
in the latter months that made you tune in anyway.Rebuilding seasons are often
designed to show the future’s promise while ignoring winning, and while certain
young players gave glimpses of that for the Reds in 2018 - here’s looking at
you, Jose Peraza - injuries sapped even that from us this year, which was just
awful.OK, fine. Here’s the part about the starting pitching.Unlike the last few
seasons - here I go, trying to spin optimism into this - the Cincinnati Reds
starting pitching wasn’t the absolute worst in all of baseball. Heck, the unit
even cobbled together 4.4 positive fWAR in 2018!That said, they still posted a
collective 5.02 ERA from their starters, which was good for the 6th worst mark
in the game.Their 1.62 HR/9 mark was ‘bested’ by only the abysmal Baltimore
Orioles staff, albeit barely (1.72).Their 4.88 FIP ranked as the 4th worst mark
across all MLB teams.Gahhhhh.If you dig into the individual numbers, you’ll also
see some troubling aspects. 140 MLB pitchers threw at least 100 innings in the
2018 season, and if you sort those 140 by ERA from worst to best, you’ll find
several familiar names on that ‘leader’ board. Homer Bailey’s 6.09 ERA ranked as
the third worst, somehow. Sal Romano’s 5.31 effort ranked 11th. Tyler Mahle’s
4.98 was 19th, Anthony DeSclafani’s 4.93 was 22nd, and that’s how you end up
with a starting rotation that you can barely depend upon to get into the 5th
inning of most games, let alone through it. And, if you sort it by FIP just to
get a slightly different potential explanation for why those four allowed so
many earned runs, you still find each of them ranked among the 21 worst pitchers
in that category, which is equally disconcerting.Look, the fact that Robert
Stephenson was too bad to even factor into this may or may not be a positive.
The same can be said for Brandon Finnegan, in what was another lost year for
him. The Matt Harvey experiment was reasonably not awful, but if he leaves in
free agency, that just further dents a group that already drove like it’d sat
out in a hail storm.They weren’t last, no. They weren’t good, though, for the
fifth consecutive season, and we’re reaching the point of the rebuild where one
of the key pieces that was acquired to begin the rebuild - Anthony DeSclafani -
is already set for his second trip through arbitration this winter. Better, yes,
but still with miles to go before being anything other than the weakest link on
the team.Gahhhhh.
Until it wasn't, as the Chicago White Sox mounted a huge comeback to beat
the Kansas City Royals, 10-7 in 12 innings.On the strength of another solid
outing by Jeff Francis, the Royals took a 6-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
Just three outs, and they would exit their season-opening home stand with a 5-1
record and a lofty perch atop the American League Central
https://www.kcrgear.com/carlos-beltran-jersey.Oh,
and Joakim Soria, one of the game's best closers, would be attempting to
preserve that three-run lead. To nobody's surprise, Soria got two quick outs.
One more.Soria would get that third out ... but not until far, far too late.Last
season, Soria never gave up four runs in one game. Last season, Soria never gave
up three runs in one game. In fact, entering this season Soria had never given
up four runs in a single major-league game.He gave up four Wednesday afternoon,
though, with the crushing blow delivered by Carlos Quentin, who smashed an 0-2
fastball into left-center field for a two-run double. Soria finally got that
third out, but the White Sox led 7-6.Momentum-killer, right? The end of the
Royals' recent magic? Hello, reality?Maybe not quite yet. Because in the bottom
of the ninth, Billy Butler singled with one out. Pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole
second base easily -- that's why he's on the roster -- and scored moments later
when Kila Ka'aihue blooped a double down the left-field line

And for the third straight game, the Royals went into extra innings.Nobody
scored in the 10th.Nobody scored in the 11th.In the top of the 12th, the White
Sox loaded the bases against Sean O'Sullivan, and Brent Morel broke the tie with
a two-run single to right field. Another run scored on a sacrifice fly.In the
bottom of the 12th, Chris Sale -- who'd gotten himself into trouble in the 11th
-- set down the Royals in order.Hello, Mr. Reality. Hello, Mr. O'Sullivan.For

it would have been scored a first-round knockdown by the
Phillies. Jameson Taillon gave up four runs while only recording a single out,
and this deficit proved almost too steep to overcome. However, the Yankees were
able to get up after a nine-count only to see Aroldis Chapman blow it in extras.
Let’s see how it unfolded.The Yankees came out swinging, and went down in order
on six pitches in the top of the first. Things couldn’t have been different for
Taillon in the bottom half, as he was on the ropes from the first pitch he
threw. The Phillies loaded the bases with three straight leadoff singles. Bryce
Harper knocked in two with a single up the middle to put the Yankees in a first
inning two-run hole. Taillon then reloaded the bases with a walk to Rhys
Hoskins, only for Andrew McCutchen to drive in the Phillies’ third run with a
sac fly to the warning track. They then added a fourth on an RBI single from
Alec Bohm, which knocked Taillon from the game.This was by far the worst we have
seen from Taillon this season. He pushed most of the counts to two-strikes, but
proved utterly incapable of putting guys away. Phillies hitters had no issue
fouling off pitches until Taillon made a mistake, and they made him pay every
time. Courtesy of StatcastThat’s 14 two-strike pitches without recording a
single out. Yikes. Taillon’s final line: 0.1 innings, five hits, four runs, one
walk, no strikeouts

more on a Ronald Torreyes single. He did escape the inning with strikeouts of

line but was left stranded. Nothing much happened until the bottom of the fourth
when Herrera doubled to lead off, took third on a wild pitch, and scored on a
Jean Segura single to make it 5-2 Phils.The Yankees created some traffic in the
fifth with a leadoff Gardner single and pinch-hit walk by Chris Gittens, but
Velasquez retired the next three in order. The Phillies tacked on two more in
the bottom half, with Luis Cessa looking like the Cessa of old. He walked
Hoskins, and then gave up two straight singles and a double to Torreyes before
recording a single out in the inning. He settled down the rest of the frame, but
not before the Phillies extended their lead to 7-2.Rougned Odor clawed back a

seemed lost, the Yankees mounted a ninth-inning rally. Gardner and Tyler Wade
each drew one-out walks, bringing LeMahieu to the plate. He drilled a 2-2 Hector
Neris splitter into the seats in left center. The 109.1 mph, 397 foot three-run

poised to spoil the comeback after giving up a leadoff double to Harper in the
bottom of the ninth. However, he buckled down and retired the next three
hitters, including a game-saving diving play by Gleyber Torres, to send this one
to extras.Torres with the tough defense. pic.twitter.com/JWuV0X0gQR— New York
Yankees June 12, 2021The Yankees wasted their chance to grab a lead in the
tenth. Torres started on second, but misread an Urshela grounder and failed to
advance. Sánchez and a pinch-hitting Higashioka both struck out, and you could
feel this one slip away. Indeed, Aroldis Chapman came on in the bottom of the
tenth, and sailed a throw to first on a Travis Jankowski sac bunt attempt,
allowing Torreyes to go to third. He scored the winning run on a Segura infield
single that Urshela gloved on a diving play, but could not throw fast enough to
home.Alexa: play High Hopes. #RingTheBell pic.twitter.com/W5qtae3877—
Philadelphia Phillies June 13, 2021It wasn’t as immediately devastating as
Chapman’s recent blown save against the Twins and didn’t exactly have a lot of
hard contact, but the result was the same: a Yankees loss. They now sit just two
games over .500, or exactly where they were after the Red Sox swept them last
weekend.The Yankees will try to split this series tomorrow, with Domingo Germán
taking on Aaron Nola. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET, so join us in
