Forever Giant Romo daps up Baer, Lou Seal pre-Bay Bridge Series
By: Larry Baer
Tags: San Francisco, Baseball, Sports

Sergio Romo was part of three World Series-winning squads during his career with the Giants, and although he was in the opposite uniform for Friday night’s Bay Bridge Series opener, he felt the love from his former organization.

Romo, now a reliever for the Athletics, appeared to have a nice conversation and handshake with Giants president Larry Baer, before getting a warm embrace from Lou Seal himself.

The 38-year-old was drafted by the Giants in 2005, playing his first nine major league seasons in San Francisco. Romo had a 2.58 ERA over 515 appearances, and also a 3.09 ERA over 23 1/3 postseason innings for the Orange and Black.

After bouncing around the league with a few different clubs, Romo signed with the A’s this offseason, and has posted a 5.04 ERA over 25 innings in 2021.

No matter where or when his MLB career comes to a close, Romo will be remembered by fans as an integral part of the bullpen during the Giants’ even-year title runs.

Romo is the true embodiment of a Forever Giant.

Who can help the FIRST PLACE New York Mets?
By: Michael Loverde
Tags: New York Sports, Baseball, MLB, Basrtoolsports, Mets

Well isn’t this exciting Mets fans. 81 games in. The halfway mark of the season and the NEW YORK METS have a four game lead in the division. Now lets be real, is it a good division? Nope but I’m loving every bit of it. The one issue is, the Mets haven’t played up to their full potential and the division is very much still up for grabs.

Of course we have the best pitcher in baseball and it’s looking like Pete’s starting to heat up and Lindor’s beginning to find his balance at the plate, but what moves do GM Zack Scott and the rest of the front office need to prioritize so this team can easily run away with the division? Lets look at a few I might try to get done if I was the GM (probably a good thing that I am not):

German Marquez and Ryan McMahon (COL)

German Marquez is the Rockies best starter and was selected for this year’s All-Star Game.

Before reading too much into this, remember the Mets would have to give up a significant amount for two of the top players Colorado has, so this deal may be a long shot.

I’ll be honest, as much as I love 877-RUNS-NOW, I don’t trust JD Davis to stay healthy for the long term, plus he’s most certainly a liability in the field. I really like him off the bench and getting starts against AL teams but he’s got an early case of the yips already in a young career.

In only a small sample size this year, Davis has a slash line of .390/.479/.610 and an OPS of 1.089 through 14 games. While those are All-Star offensive numbers for a third baseman, JD has three errors and -2 defensive runs saved in those two-weeks worth of games, and it doesn’t take an expert to see that he’s not the most comfortable at the position.

In only a small sample size this year, Davis has a slash line of .390/.479/.610 and an OPS of 1.089 through 14 games.

At third base, McMahon has 6 defensive runs saved and only five errors in 48 games (111 chances). Not to mention he leads the entire league in defensive WAR. His slash line this season is only .252/.314/.479. McMahon’s OPS is also .300 lower than Davis, but he’s been healthy, playing in 82 out of the Rockies first 85 games.

Now the case for Marquez: THE METS NEED ANOTHER STARTING PITCHER. That’s really the summary of the argument here. With Cookie and Thor down until further notice with no guarantee of being fully healthy this season and David Peterson with a tricky oblique injury.

Marquez is the Rockies best starter and was selected for this year’s All-Star Game. He currently leads the league in starts and complete games, so not only does he provide durability, but also longevity throughout his outings. I’d argue that if he wasn’t on such a mediocre team and playing in such a hitter-friendly park that his numbers would be top 3–5 in the league. How about this stat for a Colorado starting pitcher: he’s averaging giving up only 0.7 HR/9… in Colorado… which is also ninth in the league right now.

Are the A’s a contending team in the American league-The ups and downs of the green and gold

The beginning of summer

Photo: San Francisco Chronicle

Going in to June, the A’s were in first place in the division with a 31–25 record with the Astros only 1 game behind them with a 29–24 record. June would a tough month for the A’s, where they would face both the yankees and giants on the road during a 9 game road trip. The team needed to prove themselves. To start off June, The A’s got a 2 series wins, both on the road against the Rockies and the Seattle Mariners. The pitching staff, lead by Sean Manaea and Come Irvin only gave up average of 3.35 runs. Then the squad went on to grab 3 more series wins including 2 sweeps. The team was hitting the ball a lot better. Matt Olson was playing at an MVP level. Matt chapman was starting to hit the ball like he has in the past. And the bullpen wasn’t giving up games as their closer, Lou Trevino grabbed his eleventh save of the season. The team was playing better and had a 6 game win streak at the time. But a big road trip was coming up with a series against the New York bombers and their bay area rival, the Giants. A series win against both teams could prove the A’s are legit. But if they couldn’t do that, people could think the A’s are frauds. So with the first series against the yanks, The A’s won the first game, which was lead by. a Tony Kemp three run shot. But they ended up losing the next 2. The last game the A’s had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. With a hard ground ball to third, The A’s rolled into a triple play to end the series. They then splitted a series against the Rangers. The bullpen had struggled in that series and the bats couldn’t come through in clutch scenarios. With a series coming up against the giants. The A’s needed to win, but once again, the green and gold couldn’t come in clutch. The bats never got going in game 1 as they got shutout and the second game the bullpen couldn’t hold a lead in extras. They won game 3 but it wasn’t enough to win the series. They finished the month with 4th straight series losses. The team was definitely getting better as batting average improved to 19th in the league and 13th in runs. The ERA was 10th in the league as Sean Manaea and Lou trevino got both AL pitcher of the months awards. And Matt Chapman had 16 game hitting streak, while Matt Olson was hitting 340. in June. He also had 7 homers and 20 RBIs. And team still did finish with a 17–10 record in June. The A’s have the talent and the potential. They just have to stay consistent. If I had to give one piece of advice for A’s fans and the squad, I’d say just ride the wave.
Yankees make huge splash by trading for Edwin Encarnacion

Yankees make huge splash by trading for Edwin Encarnacion

Wikimedia Commons

“The Yankees needed pitching,” was the immediate reaction of most people in the baseball world when the Yankees traded for one of the most prolific home run hitters of this generation in Edwin Encarnacion.

Encarnacion, 36, is a name Yankees fans know all too well. He has made a living in the second deck in left field of the new Yankee Stadium for quite some time. In 69 career games in the new stadium, he has 18 career home runs. That is more than one every four games, or a 42-HR pace over 162 games.

When you look at what the Yankees gave up to get Encarnacion, it’s a no-for GM Brian Cashman. The Yankees gave up 19 year old prospect Juan Then, who over two years in the minor leagues holds a 2.67 ERA. The Yankees and Seattle Mariners will also split the remaining $15 million on Encarnacion’s deal this season.

Not a bad price to pay for a guy who has hit 32 home runs or more in each of the last seven seasons, and who currently leads the American League in home runs with 21.

The big question that remains is where Encarnacion will fit in the lineup. He will likely serve as the full time DH and play some first base, moving Giancarlo Stanton to left field and Brett Gardner to a fourth outfielder’s role. While Gardner has come on as of late, it is worth noting that he hit .220 in the second half of the season last year, and that he could have those same struggles this season. Gardner, in a more limited role, could be more effective than he already is.

Many are wondering if this is the first of at least two moves that Cashman is going to make this season. Will Clint Frazier, who was just optioned to Triple-A, be moved for a starting pitcher sooner rather than later? That is yet to be determined.

Aside from acquiring one of the premier power hitters in the game — and possibly just as important — the Yankees kept him away from rivals.

This aspect of the trade is one that can’t be emphasized enough. It was only a matter of time before the Mariners were going to unload Encarnacion, and the Yankees’ pitching staff has to be feeling great knowing they won’t have to face a notorious Yankees killer down the stretch.

Yes, the Yankees have a roster crunch, but that’s a good problem to have. Aaron Boone said after the Yankees’ win Saturday that there is “always room for good players,” and he is absolutely right.

This does not prevent the Yankees from acquiring a premier starting pitcher. Juan Then was their No. 27 overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline. They did not give up a slew of valuable assets to obtain Encarnacion’s services. This is important to remember.

Not only will the Yankees’ lineup be adding Encarnacion, but Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are expected to return from injuries this week as well.

With Encarnacion, the power in this lineup is top-tier in MLB. Good luck to opposing managers and pitchers.
Frontier League Beat — June 8, 2021: Introducing OPSR / Power Rankings
By: Frontier League Journal
Tags: Sports, Opsr, Baseball, Frontier League, Stats

A bit of a special edition of the “Frontier League Beat”, this week, as we continue to just have fun and come up with different ideas to make the Frontier League coverage exciting for baseball fans. The game being such a huge part of my life, it’s fun to share on a daily basis the thoughts and discussions that run through our heads and group discussions.

In 2017, I established a website / entity, called “Édition Baseball”, dedicated to covering amateur and pro baseball in French for the Québec baseball crowd. While trying to find new ways to talk about the game we love, my friend Jean-François Côté and I got to talk about different stats (a subject dear to our hearts and minds) and, after a while, he came up with a version of OPS that I found interesting.

OPSR was taking the many great aspects of OPS (OBP + SLUGGING), but also included an aspect of the game that was not represented in its original form: baserunning.

Here’s the JFC Formula (if you use it, we only ask you to give him credit, deal?): OBP+((TB+(SBX(SB/(SB+CS))))/AB

You think you can improve on it? We hope so, too, just reach out to us with your ideas: frontierleaguejournal@gmail.com.

It takes into account the success a team has running the bases once it reaches them (success stealing bases) a facet of the game that should not be discarded, as baseball fans know. It is exciting, it creates runs / opportunities when done effectively and puts pressure on the defence. You do it well, you gain in the long run. You do it badly, you could cost yourself runs over a season.

While Édition Baseball did not last, OPSR did. Today, we’re proposing it to you, the readers, but also to the players and teams around the Frontier League. It is not revolutionary, but it is an additional tool that can be used to evaluate players. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don’t like it, disregard it. If you do appreciate it, then welcome to our troubled minds, the club is expanding fast.

This is an exclusive stat from us to you, making it another (I think) cool thing to follow the Frontier League.

As of Monday night, here are where teams stood with the OPS vs OPSR and the differential that a team’s running is having on their bottoms line. Below, the teams are ranked in order of OPSR, a difference-maker for certain clubs:

In the future, all players / teams will have their OPSR readily available to them if they choose to consult it. For the short term, the “Frontier League Beat” weekly column will be offering OPSR Team Rankings and the Top 50 OPSR Leaders in the Frontier League.

For pitchers, we are quickly working on offering you the excellent FIP stat (Fielding Independent Pitching) in order to identify the pitchers that truly stand out on the mound by controlling the elements they are able to. If you don’ know about FIP, here is a great primer on it.

Hope you enjoy. If you don’t, I’m confident we’ll still be able to share our passion for baseball.

Strike York!
By: Dany Cancino
Tags: Jacob Degrom, New York, Baseball, Gerrit Cole

New York and baseball are the same old story…

With the exception of Staten Island, every borough of the city that never sleeps has seen a baseball team. Manhattan saw the first New York dinasty: the Giants. Brooklyn and the Dodgers saw barriers fall down and made history with the arrival of Jackie Robinson. The best player ever and the team with the most World Series titles of all time are in the Bronx. The first two teams chose to pursue the “California dream”, and thus the Mets were born in Queens.

Today, The Big Apple continues having stars and making history: NYC has the two most dominant pitchers in the ball game. Gerrit Cole with the Pinstripes, Jacob deGrom with the Amazins. After 5 and 4 starts respectively, both have 50 strike outs. If this number isn´t absurd enough, Cole has 1.71 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, in 31.2 IP. While deGrom has 0.31 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, in 29 IP. Jacob, in adition, is hitting for his own cause, and surpasses the hero in blue and orange, Tom Seaver, with a 2.55 career ERA.

It seems that the history of these teams, and therefore, of their pitchers, goes in diferent paths. The Yankees, despite of the low start, are historically tied to success and can take off at any moment. On the other hand, the neighbors of Queens seem to have been born in a tragedy and live for the drama. Each victory, each defeat is suffered. Both have their “aces” in the mountain. Each league has it´s “aces”. New York has it´s “aces”. The two most dominant, spectacular, entertaining, and even poetic players in the big leagues play under the lights of the big city.

Today the pitching style is pure New York style.

Paper Year
By: Ayah Kindi
Tags: Happiness, Anniversary, Weddings, Marriage, Paper

It’s the first year of marriage, “it’s going to be tough”, “it’s the hardest”, “it’s sort of hangover from the earlier bachelor life!” (That’s what everyone said or thought) but why to assume all of that in advance!

In the 21st century when most of the couples live together and get to know each other well enough before they’re married, does it really make a difference?

Well, physically doesn’t look like a major transition but it could be mental. When the first year of marriage meant getting used to someone being all up in your space for the first time, it could impact the thoughts and let the new married couples be focused on the differences in each other’s behavior which make them have some arguments according to that!

So how about start thinking differently and focus on the positivity of this adventure and how lucky you are to be married to your love ones, how will you care and treat each other and how happy moments you are going to have in your new life, then you will realize how can the responsibilities be much easier when you can share them with the partner.

Life after the big day can still be tricky, You’re just starting to come back from the wedding and worry about combining finances, working around your two careers, student loan debt and house mortgage, you will start feeling the reality of married life day after day.

But, as it’s called “A Paper Year”, all of those details can still be light as a piece of paper that can fly in the air if you carry and treat it with love and understanding each other’s point of view by simplify and facilitate things.

As for my personal experience, I moved from an overseas country with complete deferent culture one month before our wedding, everything was a big challenge for us, my paperwork, the wedding planning, finding a house and many other stuff that could put us under real stress, but by being grateful that finally we got to be together and looking forward to enjoy every single day of our new life, we got through our first year with its ups and downs really smoothly and we gain lots of great memories to be written.

First year of marriage doesn’t last forever, couples will settle down and get used to the marriage life at least until they get to have their first child then a new chapter begins.

As you’re selecting a makeup artist for Asian bride in New York, consider these tips so as to ensure you get the very best one.

Now let’s get into the fun parts of wedding planning (well, in most cases, it should be), and that’s picking out your bridal party! Now some names automatically come to your head when you think of your bridal party, and it’s your sister, childhood best friend, or your all-time favorite person. Whomever you choose is a personal decision; it’s totally up to you, but just a few points to keep in mind.

First, having a large bridal party can be expensive. Keep it small and keep it simple. Even if you have five sisters, five best friends, and five favorite cousins do not mean that they all have to be part of your bridal party. Please keep in mind not to allow anyone into pressuring you or make you feel guilty for not making them a part of “your” bridal party. Listen, there is so much that goes into planning a wedding; when persons in life are truly happy for you, they are more than willing to support you in any way they can.

You have known this girl your life, she is practically your sister…that’s great. But here’s a some questions to ask yourself: Is this person responsible? Is it always all about them? Will they execute your vision? If no, you may want to reconsider making this person your maid of honor or even a bridesmaid. No weddings without any glitches, but the last thing you want is to have bridesmaids to have drama at the wedding. It’s a whole vibe and not a good one. Choose responsibly…..

Being a bridesmaid is rewarding to my chic bride, but it can also be expensive and time-consuming. Treat your bridesmaids to a lovely spa, gift basket, or pay for the hair and make-up if you could afford it on your day. The point is to show them that you care and appreciate them for being part of your day. Your bridesmaids should have been true friends before, during, and after the wedding.

Congratulations!!! The question was popped, and you said, “Yes!” And here we are. I tell you, most brides enjoy feeling like they are walking on air for a while unless time is not on your side. People nowadays vary in times being engaged from a few days to years…..well, no judgments here. But what are some first things you and your partner should consider?

Pick a date. At least think about the time of year you would like to get married. When you narrow it down to a season, you can plan everything around the season, i.e., outdoor wedding venue, bridesmaid dresses, and even flowers (some flowers are not available all year round).

A few tips to keep in mind, weddings have high seasons and low seasons. Getting married during the winter months in some venues may save you hundreds of dollars…….. I know, I know, summer weddings are beautiful but could be pricey. If you are absolute about getting married in the summer, shop around when looking for venues, have an open mind, consider even having a garden-style wedding. Also, getting married during the week (Monday to Thursday) or on holiday may be less expensive. For example, at some venues, getting married on Thanksgiving could make the difference of $95 per person to $70 per person by merely changing the day of the week. Fridays and Saturdays tend to be more expensive because everyone and their auntie want those days. Think about having a brunch wedding which may be less costly than having a formal dinner wedding.

Picking a day should not be a cause for contention, be flexible and compromise, which are the building blocks to a successful marriage. Look out more for tips.

Planning a wedding is proven to be tiring and can drain all out the couple’s energy even up to the last minute of walking down the aisle. That’s why many soon to be married lovers today seek professional help from wedding coordinators and wedding planners to spare themselves from the stress and pressure of planning their own wedding.

Wedding Card

The task of wedding coordinators and planners started from giving the couple an overview of how their wedding would look like. They will lay down all their ideas to the soon to be wed couple and then later on ask for their opinions, suggestions and even violent reactions. However, most of the time, the bride and groom leave all the decision making to them except for the bride and groom’s outfit and the wedding card. These two factors are deemed important to the couple and that having them with a touch of their own personality is quite imperative. They could not just let wedding coordinators decide for themselves that’s why they require setting an appointment meeting if it concerns the wedding dresses and the wedding card design.

With regards to the wedding garments of the bride and groom, the decision is solely theirs while in the case of their wedding cards, since their coordinators are more experienced on this aspect; they rely to them after they share their personal views.

Most of the time, wedding card come in plain colors like white, pink, blue and others as long as it remains coordinated with the wedding theme. Textured and card stock are the common canvass for these invites, just perfect especially if the couple wanted to have some embossed image on it. Wordings are supplied by the marrying couple and possible editing may be done by their coordinators with their permission of course. These wordings are normally the same as their wedding vows which they will recite during the wedding ceremony. Graphic Design Company

Couples do not need to put themselves in a stressful situation like constructing their wedding cards because it is included in the package when they decided to hire wedding planner and coordinators. What they just need to contribute is their own idea and fancy of how they like their invites to come out in the actual printing.
Honestly I think grooms get a bad rap sometimes.

Honestly I think grooms get a bad rap sometimes. Too often in today’s society the groom is not involved in the wedding planning or the preparation for the ‘Big Day’. How often do you hear “Oh she did all the work… I just showed up.” Why are weddings now considered only something a woman can come up with or a gay man can design. Maybe we underestimate straight men. Maybe we put boxes and delineations on people in general that simplify things so we don’t have to change our own perspective on how we view others. Labels. Titles. Confines. Everyone tells you, you can’t do something until you do it. Then everyone can’t believe it happened until you do it again. The only difference is those people sit around talking while we go out and do the things. Just do it. Couldn’t say it better myself.

I had the pleasure and the honor of putting together my fiancés bridal shower. We got engaged in Champagne France so I cam up with the idea of a French Countryside shower with all the trappings (including a mischievous French Mime) Actually it was the Mother-in-law who came up with the mime idea. But the mime is actually a friend of mine. The kids are a special part of all showers and we wanted to acknowledge this.
