Pat Murphy suffered a heart attack on Saturday during workouts. President of Baseball Operations David Stearns indicated that he should be okay. #Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said Pat Murphy had a heart attack at workout Saturday and was immediately transported to Froedtert Hospital and had a stent inserted https://www.fanmb.com/mark-mathias-jersey. Said prognosis for recovery is good.— Tom August 3, 2020The sixty-one year old Murphy joined the Brewers’ organization in 2016. Craig Counsell first wanted his old coach at Notre Dame on his staff when he took the Brewers’ managerial job in 2015 Lorenzo Cain Jersey, but the San Diego Padres refused to let Milwaukee interview him. Murphy did become the Padres’ interim manager later in 2015 after the firing of Bud Black Mike Trout Jersey. Murphy and the Padres parted ways following the 2015 season, freeing him up to come to Milwaukee. Since then Murphy has been a colorful character that has been a major part of changing the culture and turning the fortunes of the Milwaukee Brewers. Murphy is expected to make a full recovery. Even so, I am sure I speak for everyone at BCB and the BCB community in saying get well soon and our thoughts and prayers are with you.Stearns said the good news on Murphy is he is expected to make a full recovery. That's what counts.— Tom August 3, 2020

Camden Chatters.Welp, the Orioles just finished their second consecutive winless road trip, a pitiful slog through Tampa Bay and Cleveland that resulted in two sweeps https://www.baltimoregearshop.com/trey-mancini-jersey, an 0-7 record, and a continuation of an unfathomable 19-game road losing streak. Yesterday’s contest was the typical, embarrassing, uncompetitive disaster we’ve come to expect from the Orioles, and Andrea SK’s recap has all the details.In times like these, it may feel like no other baseball fan base could possibly empathize with what O’s fans are going through. That no other team could ever put up this kind of horrendous streak, losing game after game after game on the road, closing in on historic futility with no end in sight to the suffering.And yet, as excruciating as things are in Birdland, the Orioles aren’t alone. In fact, they may not even end up setting the all-time MLB record for consecutive road losses — because the Arizona Diamondbacks have already beaten them to that humiliating mark. And it’s still going.Yesterday, the Diamondbacks lost their 23rd straight road game, getting trounced in San Francisco, 10-3, to complete a four-game sweep (and the seventh straight road series in which the D’Backs have been swept). Arizona has not won a road game since sweeping a doubleheader in Atlanta on April 25, in which the nightcap featured Madison Bumgarner’s seven-inning no-hitter that wasn’t a no-hitter. (Coincidentally, the Orioles’ last road win was also a no-hitter, the John Means gem in Seattle on May 5).The Diamondbacks have become the first team in the modern era to lose as many as 23 straight road games, surpassing the previous record of 22 held by the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics and 1963 New York Mets. They’ve also lost 14 in a row overall, which, incredibly, started just two games after a 13-game losing streak. (Yes, they’re 1-27 in their last 28 games.) It’s no wonder the D’Backs still manage to hold the pole position for the #1 overall draft pick next year, with a league-worst 20-50 record that out-stinks even the Orioles’ 22-46 mark.The Diamondbacks’ and Orioles’ dual road losing streaks will hit pause for a moment, as each team begins a six-game homestand today. The O’s head back on the road June 24 for a 10-game trip against three decent-to-good teams — the Blue Jays, Astros, and Angels — while the Diamondbacks will follow suit June 25 with a six-game jaunt through San Diego and St. Louis. Both streaks have a potential to get a lot longer.So take note, Orioles fans: if you think this is rock bottom, remember that things could be worse. One poor team has already proven as much.LinksJorge López allows three homers as road losing streak continues - Steve MelewskiBrandon Hyde and Trey Mancini offer their thoughts on the Orioles’ club-record losing streak. Spoiler alert: they do not like it.Myriad O’s Thoughts: Heston Kjerstad’s setback; DL Hall’s injury; Brandon Hyde’s future – The AthleticIf things weren’t bad enough at the major league level, the O’s also got bad injury news on two of their top four prospects. Welp. That’s it. Burn it all down.Mike Elias discusses Brandon Hyde’s job status for 2022 - Orioles.comI certainly don’t think the Orioles’ woes are Brandon Hyde’s fault, but there’s not exactly a lot of evidence that he’s a particularly good manager, either.

You have two Orioles birthday buddies: catcher and fan favorite Caleb Joseph (35) and 2003 first baseman Carlos Mendez (47) Cedric Mullins Jersey.On this day in 1974, the O’s crushed the Twins, 10-1, with should-be-a-Hall-of-Famer Bobby Grich smacking three home runs — one solo, one two-run shot, and one three-run blast. Not a bad day’s work. Orioles starter Ross Grimsley threw a complete game in which he gave up 13 hits but somehow zero earned runs, thanks to the Twins stranding 11 runners on base.And on this date in 2007, the Orioles fired manager Sam Perlozzo, who had posted a 122-164 record in parts of three seasons as the Birds’ skipper Chris Davis Jersey. The O’s were in the midst of a nine-game losing streak at the time of Perlozzo’s firing. Only nine? How quaint.

Winker during Sunday’s see-saw victory over the St Eugenio Suarez Jersey. Louis Cardinals deserves a ton of dap. He gave the Cincinnati Reds their early lead, he made it bigger, and after the bullpen had squandered it entirely, he put them back on top for good. At day’s end, he sat tied for the National League lead in dingers honked while also sitting among the best of the best in SLG (1st), wOBA (2nd), wRC+ (2nd), AVG (2nd), and OPS (2nd).With the Reds now nearly 60 games into their 2021 season, those are the marks of a breakout season. It’s undeniable that right now, in today’s game, there are few (if any) more potent offensive forces in the game, and anything close to this kind of production for the rest of the season is going to land some serious hardware (and future earnings) in both his trophy case and wallet.If you back things up just a bit, however, those who’ve been watching Winker closely can’t be wholly surprised by this offensive dominance. The level of it, perhaps, but not the likelihood of him establishing himself as one of the premier bats in the game. It was the calling card that made him a 1st round draft pick out of high school, a perennial Top 100 overall prospect, and a player the Reds refused to trade during their long, dark rebuild. Still, those aspects describing a player who’ll turn 28 this season with nary an All Star appearance or single MVP vote do appear, on the surface, to miss a big part of the story.That big part has been injuries more than underperformance. Rate stats are a brilliant way of measuring potency, but they define quality more than quantity, the latter being what haunted Winker for so long both at the minor league and MLB levels. In his 5th big league season, he’s played more than 89 games at the big league level precisely once, the 2019 season that saw him play 113 games before an injury cut it short https://www.crfanshop.com/jonathan-india-jersey. A busted wrist, a busted shoulder, a cervical strain, and even the pandemic-induced 60 game season in 2020 have done their best to keep him from putting up the kind of full-season numbers that cement a player’s status among fans across the game and begin to earn him his rightful reputation as one of the game’s elite hitters.That short 2020 sample, though, was obviously not his doing. He stayed on the field throughout the Reds campaign, wrapping the year with a 137 OPS+ after leading the entire game in OPS for a time mid-year. In fact, after a brutally slow start to last season, Winker absolutely bashed over his final 42 games played, posting a 1.042 OPS with 12 dingers in his final 148 trips to the plate last season. Since that August 6th breakout last year, he’s hit a whopping .324/.409/.654 in 369 PA, and here are his ranks among all MLB players in that span:AVG - .324 (2nd)OBP - .409 (4th)SLG - .654 (1st, with Ronald Acuna, Jr. a distant 2nd at .622)SB - 1 (T-90th)wOBA - .446 (1st)wRC+ - 181 (1st)HR - 29 (3rd, behind just Acuna and Fernando Tatis, Jr. at 30)It’s pretty clear that Jesse has not only been seeing beach-balls coming his way for a long Nick Castellanos Jersey, long time now, but that he’s got some catching up to do to win that future stolen base crown.In more Winker-related news, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic took a look even further back in Winker’s professional career to see just where his power stroke developed. In Reds prospect news, Baseball America released the first update to their Top 100 overall prospects list during the 2021 season. Each of Jonathan India, Tejay Antone, and Tyler Stephenson have logged enough big league time to no longer qualify for prospect status, but as Doug Gray noted over at RedsMinorLeagues.com, the Reds did place four prospects on BA’s updated list.The Cincinnati Reds just swept the St. Louis Cardinals in a four-game series at #Bush Stadium. I don’t have a particular link for that, but just wanted to see it typed out somewhere again.Reds prospect Mark Kolozsvary has largely flown under the radar since being selected in the 7th round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida, but an incredibly hot start to his 2021 season and a selection onto Team USA for Olympic qualifiers has certainly put a larger spotlight on him lately. So far, he’s done nothing but continue to shine in it, too, and as Gatorsports.com noted, he was a big reason why Team USA officially qualified last week. Playing with the likes of Todd Frazier and Homer Bailey, he’s brought a bat to match his solid receiving skills behind the plate, and had David Bell gushing about him, too. It’ll be very interesting to see how this breakout moves India’s former Gator teammate into the future catching discussions with this club.Finally, here’s the 2021 MLB All Star Game ballot. Go vote like hell for Jesse and the rest of the Reds you find deserving, y’all.

Jerseys. He batted .331. He was 21 years old. The Royals signed him to a five-year contract that could become an eight-year contract. Things were good for Salvador Perez and the Royals, very recently.Things are worse now. Tuesday, Perez injured his left knee catching warm-ups. He was sent to Kansas City for close inspection Michael A. Taylor Jersey, and the inspection turned up some worrisome results.Royals announce catcher Salvador Perez suffered a left lateral meniscus tear in the knee that will require surgery— Joel Goldberg March 14 https://www.kcrgear.com/kevin-appier-jersey, 2012No timetable on Perez's return has been announced.Surgery expected in next few days.— Joel Goldberg March 14, 2012As noted, there's no timetable, as the medical team still needs to examine the area and determine the severity of the tear. This doesn't look like a season-ender, but you can count on Perez to miss a good chunk of time. Brayan Pena will presumably shoulder the load for now. The other catcher on the 40-man roster - Manny Pina - is recovering from surgery. Cody Clark, Max Ramirez, and Julio Rodriguez are in Royals camp as non-roster invitees.Perez should make a good recovery from this injury. The Royals probably weren't going to make the playoffs. In the big picture, this injury isn't real significant. What's troubling is that Perez is now a young catcher with a knee injury history. Knee injuries can turn promising catchers into less-promising not-catchers. Hopefully this is just a one-time issue, and Perez can go on to flourish, with knees like robot knees instead of knees that ... are ... robot knees ... hopefully Perez is healthy in the future.

a good ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel with both Carlos Rodón and Jordan Montgomery racking up double-digit strikeouts while throwing shutout ball. But amazingly, that’s not the story of tonight’s game. This one had a little of everything, from gut-wrenching lows to improbable plays, so let’s jump right into this wild 2-1 Yankees win.The White Sox squared up balls with alarming frequency, starting with the first batter of the game. Thankfully for Montgomery, it appeared that luck was on his side, as only one fell for a hit. He was aided by two nice running catches by Aaron Judge, who displayed some of the best jumps off the ball this year. Courtesy of StatcastIt wasn’t a pretty beginning for the home team, as Rodón struck out the side on 12 pitches. Fears started to creep in that the Yankees were in for another Scherzer-esque challenge.The next inning was more encouraging for Montgomery. Although he gave up a leadoff single to Yermín Mercedes, he retired the next three batters, including strikeouts of Andrew Vaughn and Zack Collins. Fears from the opening frame sharpened as Rodón struck out the next two batters he faced. Per Elias Sports, he became the first pitcher to strike out five straight Yankees to start a game in the Bronx since Sandy Koufax in Game 1 of the 1963 World Series. It’s never a good sign to remind fans of a sweep, and it almost felt like a moral victory when Rougned Odor flew out to end the inning. Judge’s defensive clinic in right continued in the third, as he made a sprinting catch at the wall. Just as he did in the previous frame, Montgomery struck out the final two batters. Despite two high-powered offenses going toe-to-toe, this is another year of the pitcher and the hurlers had the day.At least the Yankees would not be the next no-hit victims, as Miguel Andújar looped a one-out single just over Nick Madrigal’s glove into shallow right. What followed was one of the stranger plays I’ve seen all year. Brett Gardner lined one right into Madrigal’s glove, who somehow dropped the ball. However, Andújar, thinking he caught it, began to scramble back to first, seemingly giving the White Sox an easy force out at second. But then, Madrigal inexplicably airmailed a throw over José Abreu at first, allowing Andújar to scamper to third and Gardner to second.E4, E4 pic.twitter.com/822RWPG0sw— MLB Errors May 22, 2021Madrigal was issued two errors on the play, and I wondered if this was just the break that the Yankees needed to steal a run against a dominant pitcher. Unfortunately, the answer was a resounding no, as TOOTBLAN struck again with Andújar being thrown out at home on DJ LeMahieu’s sharp grounder to first. Luke Voit struck out to end the threat, as Rodón tallied his seventh strikeout in three innings. Montgomery once again struck out a pair in the fourth, though Mercedes did collect his second hit of the night. Rodón worked around a leadoff Judge single in the bottom-half, with the Yankees hitters continuing to look largely helpless. Montgomery then countered with another economical inning while Rodón secured his 10th and 11th strikeouts.Neither pitcher showed any sign of slowing down in the sixth. Montgomery successfully sandwiched around a Yoan Moncada double between strikeouts of Tim Anderson and Abreu, while Rodón set a new career-high in K’s with numbers 12 and 13. Montgomery matched Rodón stride for stride, setting his own career-high in strikeouts with his 10th of the night, finally retiring Mercedes.With two outs in the seventh, though, disaster nearly struck. Andújar reminded everyone in attendance why he is not a tenable solution in left field, as he cut in front of a Vaughn fly ball. Gardner was calling for it all the way, but couldn’t reel it in thanks to Andújar’s interference (the latter was tagged with an error on the play). Thankfully, Montgomery picked his teammate up, forcing pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal to whiff for his 11th punch-out of the night.It was a relief to see that Rodón’s night was over after six, but the repose was short-lived. In came Michael Kopech, one of the most dominant relievers in MLB. “Have no fear,” said Gleyber Torres, as he lined a middle-middle 98-mph fastball on a 3-1 pitch into the first row in right field, giving the Yankees a precious 1-0 lead. There goes our Gleyby. pic.twitter.com/UOmCMgHal6— New York Yankees May 22, 2021Montgomery’s night was over after a masterful performance. His line for the outing: seven innings, four hits, no runs, no walks, and eleven strikeouts on 90 pitches. He tied his season-high with 17 whiffs including a 57 percent whiff rate on the curveball.Career-high 11 Ks for Monty pic.twitter.com/UoR6gKYzUC— New York Yankees May 22, 2021 Courtesy of StatcastJonathan Loaisiga came in for the eighth and surrendered a leadoff walk to Adam Eaton Oswald Peraza Jersey. Eaton took second on a wild pitch and third on a soft grounder by Anderson. Madrigal threw his bat at a curveball, dunking it into right to drive Eaton home and tie it up, 1-1. Judge made another sparkling play in right field, deking Madrigal and gunning him down at second for the force on a sharp Moncada line drive. The bottom of the inning was a rollercoaster of emotions, and not in a good way. Andújar led off with a single, his second of the night. Tyler Wade came in to pinch-run, and stole second. Brett Gardner capped off a 10-pitch at-bat with an opposite-field single to put runners on the corners with no outs. This is where things turned ugly.Wade was thrown out at home on a LeMahieu grounder up the middle. Voit then lined out to third, and Gardner was doubled up at second after he forgot how many outs there were, I guess. The Yankees made their second and third outs on the basepaths in one inning — par for the course at this point — and once again wasted a scoring opportunity with a man on third and less than two outs.The absurd carnival ride continued in the top of the ninth. Aroldis Chapman came on to preserve the tie and promptly walked the leadoff batter. Leury García laid down a sacrifice bunt, but reached safely at first after Chapman bobbled it. Just when things looked dire, Andrew Vaughn grounded into an around-the-horn triple play to cap off maybe the wackiest 30 minutes of the Yankees’ season. pic.twitter.com/dAifF57BKb— New York Yankees May 22, 2021It was the Yankees’ first triple-killing since a perhaps equally-improbable triple play turned by a trio of one-year Yankees on April 17, 2014: Yangervis Solarte, Brian Roberts, and Scott Sizemore. The sound of “Gio Urshela to Rougned Odor to Luke Voit” is just a smidge better.The Yankees saved the best for last, thanks in part to Chicago skipper Tony La Russa electing not to use closer Liam Hendriks in a tie game on the road. Riding the crowd energy from that unbelievable escape, Judge and and Urshela led off with singles against Evan Marshall to bring Torres to the plate Zack Britton Jersey. The star shortstop delivered in the clutch, pulling a first-pitch changeup through the hole on the left to score Judge and send the season-high attendance into a frenzy.What a (Gley) day at the ballpark. pic.twitter.com/rcwZmspCM7— New York Yankees May 22, 2021Boy, I still need to catch my breath after this one. Montgomery was brilliant, and the Yankees overcame what could have been costly errors on the basepaths to win a crucial opening salvo of the homestand Roy White Jersey.The Bombers have just the man they want on the mound to carry that through tomorrow, as Gerrit Cole takes on Dylan Cease.
