Article by Todd Lammi

by Todd Lammi

Jorge Cantu was a one man wrecking crew for the Florida Marlins, going 3 for 3 with two home runs and 5 RBI, to snap the teams’ seven-game losing streak. Hanley Ramirez missed the game for the Marlins after being hit by a pitch on Monday. Catcher John Baker slid into the third spot in the batting order with Ramirez out and Cameron Maybin was bumped up to the number two hole. In other news around major league baseball on Tuesday…

Hitters:

Colorado Rockies rookie center fielder Dexter Fowler has been named the full time starter by manager Clint Hurdle. The move means that Seth Smith will lose out on the majority of at bats, and Ryan Spillborghs will see a slight reduction in at bats for the days that Smith plays.

Edwin Encarnacion was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Cincinnati Reds with a fracture in his wrist. Adam Rosales was recalled from Triple-A and should see time at third base along with Jerry Hairston Jr.

Russell Branyan went 5 for 5 in the second game of the Seattle Mariners doubleheader and is now hitting.358 on the season.

Chone Figgins went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and two stolen bases. The stolen bases were his first in the last 10 days.

Mark DeRosa went 4 for 5, including his fourth home run of the season and scored four runs. He has made his hits count this year, despite batting only.235, he has driven in 17 runs on the season.

Chase Utley continues to reward those fantasy baseball owners that took him in the first round of their drafts with two more home runs on Tuesday. Utley is hitting.357 on the season with 20 RBI.

Alfonso Soriano hit his 7th home run of the season and drove in four runs. The one downside to having a guy with that much power of course is the limitation to his RBI numbers. Soriano only has 14 RBI for the year to go with his seven home runs.

Pitchers:

Felix Hernandez moved to 4-0 with eight innings of shutout work and nine strikeouts. Hernandez took over the American League strikeout lead with 36 now on the season.

Jo-Jo Reyes allowed one run in seven innings with seven strikeouts. His start means that Tommy Hanson will most likely remain in Triple-A for a little longer.

Kyle Lohse continued the magic for another week, tossing six shutout innings with six strikeouts. Lohse is normally a fly ball pitcher, but benefited from getting 10 ground ball outs compared to only two fly outs.

Phil Hughes returned to the major leagues, tossing six shutout innings with six strikeouts. Hughes recently recalled from Triple-A is currently replacing the injured Chien-Ming Wang in the rotation.

Edwin Jackson pitched six shutout innings with four strikeouts. Lucky for his fantasy baseball owners he was gone the inning before the New York Yankees put a 10 spot on the board in the 7th inning.

Wandy Rodriguez hurled seven strong innings, allowing one run with five strikeouts. It marked the fourth time in five starts he has allowed one run or less.

Cole Hamels lost out on a chance for a victory when he left his start in the fifth inning with a sprained ankle after trying to field a bunt. Hamels had went 4 1/3 scoreless innings before leaving the game.

The amazing success story of Scott Richmond continued after moving to 3-0 against the Kansas City Royals. Richmond, a 29-year-old rookie who two seasons ago was pitching in the independent leagues, allowed one run in seven innings with five strikeouts.

Chad Gaudin got the start for the San Diego Padres and tossed five scoreless innings with five strikeouts. He is someone worth grabbing in NL-only leagues pitching in Petco park.

Closers:

Frank Francisco has quietly been one of the more effective closers in the American League so far this season. Francisco picked up his sixth save of the season in six chances for the Texas Rangers Tuesday night. He has allowed only six base runners in 10 2/3 innings on the season.

Brian Fuentes picked up his fourth save of the year but has been less than dominant this season. He has not had a 1-2-3 innings since opening day and allowed a solo home run tonight.

Trevor Hoffman fresh off the disabled list got his first save of the season for the Milwaukee Brewers. Todd Coffey set him up with a scoreless eighth inning.

Joel Hanrahan has been removed as closer of the Washington Nationals. Julian Tavarez and Kip Wells could form part of the closer-by-committee to try and get the job done.

Brad Lidge could be looking at potential time on the disabled list if his right knee does not get better. The pain is in the same knee that he had surgery on twice before the start of the 2008 season. If Lidge has to miss any time, Ryan Madson would take over as closer.

Jose Valverde was place on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf. LaTroy Hawkins will take over as closer for the next two weeks.

Baseball Games in Panama

Article by Andrew Cowan

Although Panama is located in Central America, during the winter months soccer takes a back seat to the Panamanian National Baseball League. With 10 teams in the league, each province has representation. I’ve been lucky enough to attend numerous games here in Panama City and highly recommend it to anyone who visits. It is an experience unlike any baseball game you can experience in the States.

Most recently I attended semi-final game 7 between Chiriqui and Los Santos. It was a game that would decide who attended the National Championship for the 2006 season. Baseball in Panama is followed by people from all corners of the country and is enjoyed at the game, in bars and at homes by people young and old. For this last game we left our regular bar in a Chivas Parrandaras. This is an old Blue Bird school bus that has been converted into the ultimate party mobile. The seats have been moved out of the center onto the sides and the equivalent of stripper poles have been erected in the center. The windows have had their glass removed and both doors are gone. We boarded along with a bartender and an eight piece band. The experience had begun.

The baseball stadium in Panama City is located just outside the stadium. In 2004 it was renamed Estadio Rod Carew after the Panamanian ballplayer who is a now in the Hall of Fame. It is the national stadium and on this night it was packed. The size of a small MLB stadium, Panama’s gem of baseball is an imposing sight at night, illuminated and surrounded by thousands of cars and people. There are two tickets available for purchase, a bleacher seat and a normal stadium seat. We elected to buy the concrete bleacher seats, as you spend as little time as possible at a Panamanian baseball game actually in your seat.

Beers are and beer venders walk around in neon green shirts hawking the ice cold “cerveza” from buckets hanging off their arms. The fact that beer is so inexpensive and comes in clear plastic cups leads to celebratory beer projectiles after good plays or home runs. Just thinking about the fact that I could drink a six pack at the stadium for less than the price of a beer at a game at home made the experience worth it. We entered the stadium with the band in tow and quickly set up in the heart of the Chiriqui fans.

The game was a blast, everyone was dancing, the band was playing, beer was flying and the team we were rooting for won 11-3 to enter the national championship series. After the game on the ride home, the excitement was still palpable with the band droning on and two buckets of beer on the floor of the bus. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend attending a Panamanian baseball game.

Take Me Out To The Baseball Game

Article by Joshua Miller

Baseball is the American pasttime, you may be surprised how very few people actually know the rules of the game.

I went to a baseball game a few weeks ago and had the misfortune of sitting next to a group of very young, very boisterous children. Not that enthusiasm in the game is unfortunate, but they kept cheering at all the wrong times. Like when the opposing team batted a run in. And they were home team fans–they were dressed in full baseball regalia from replica batting helmets like these: http://www.sports-collectibles-store.com/MLB_Batting_Helmets-p-1-c-21-ss2.html to the stirrup pants.

My point is here that many children nowadays don’t understand how the game is played. They confuse offense and defense and cheer when the pitcher beans a batter. Maybe they just don’t like batters, but for some reason I don’t think that is the case. They do all seem to know the value of baseball cards, which is more than I can say for many baseball card sellers. Baseball cards are not in their heyday anymore, but they are still darn popular and are still worth a pretty penny (or couple hundred bucks!).

Well, while I was sitting and trying to enjoy the game, the kids kept asking their dad questions. The one question that I believe I heard no less than 8 times was, “What’s the difference between wooden baseball bats and metal ones?” This question tickled me almost as much as hearing the poor father of these curious children explain it to them over and over again.

I say we get kids back into baseball. I mean football and basketball have been attracting children for years, but baseball has sort of been on the decline for awhile. Why not have baseball camps and sand lot games in the summer instead of sitting the kids down in the air conditioning playing video games and watching television?
