Pete Crow-Armstrong (OF - CHC)
9/18/24 5:31 PM -
[NBC Sports Bay Area] - How Miller made Oakland A's history with save vs. Cubs. Star made history in Oakland’s 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. Miller became Oakland’s all-time rookie saves leader after eliciting a game-ending double play off the bat of Chicago’s Pete Crow-Armstrong with a 93-mph changeup. “It’s special, yeah,” Miller told reporters postgame. “Just trying to get to the next one, each time. Now, you get an opportunity to kind of look back on the year and the success I had. It’s a special moment I’m appreciating.” The most saves by a rookie in Oakland history belongs to Mason Miller ?? — Oakland A's (@Athletics) It was Miller’s 27th save and 15th on the road during the 2024 MLB season. The 26-year-old righty surpassed A’s icons and . Street recorded 23 saves in 2005 and Bailey notched 26 in 2009. The two former A’s closers won AL Rookie of the Year for their respective save-heavy campaigns before eventually retiring as two-time MLB All-Stars. Miller, also an admirer of legendary Oakland native and , is respectful of those who paved the way for him to shut down games for the East Bay. “They had long, successful big-league careers — some Hall of Fame careers,” Miller said about Street, Bailey and Eckersley. “And I could only hope to continue to keep up with the pace that they set. [I’ll] just come into next year with the same mentality, same hunger; keep putting us in positions to get in the dugout with a win.” Miller now has a 2.37 ERA and 96 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings pitched. He also improved his WAR to 2.4 and WHIP to 0.86. The first-time All-Star has been integral to the 67-86 A’s second-half turnaround. Oakland is 30-25 since July 19 and has been an all-around dynamic team across that span, which isn’t too shabby for the by roughly $23 million. Rising and staples like Brent Rooker have jolted the A’s lineup thanks to plenty of stats and streaks. Miller, meanwhile, has held the bullpen down for the last 55 games. He has collected 26 strikeouts and 12 saves in 18 appearances, owning a 2.57 ERA in the span. “One hundred percent, finish strong,” Miller said about having nine games left this season. “We’ve played really, really well pretty much the entire second half. Outside of probably a seven-week skid after we started 17-17, I think we’ve had a really successful year — especially taking a big step forward from the last. “Now, the expectation just gets higher and higher. We know the talent we have [and] the success that we’re capable of. And I think we’re turning heads with the way we’re playing this second half. It’s a testament to the work that each guy in the clubhouse has put in.” Miller missed most of the 2023 season with a right UCL sprain. The A’s missed him, as they finished the past campaign an MLB-worst 50-112. Oakland’s new rookie saves leader knows the team is nowhere near where it wants to be. But, as Miller said, that’s not to say the A’s aren’t capable. The noise of the franchise’s has loomed over Miller and his teammates for much of the year. It won’t be going away, either, as the A’s will finish their 57th and final season as Oakland Coliseum residents on Sept. 26 against East Bay great Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers. However, Miller has found a way to strictly focus on his craft and the A’s on-field goals for future seasons, revealing the blueprint for the team’s success in 2025. “Consistency across the board,” Miller said. “Putting together a solid effort all sides of the ball. … It’s across the board, just putting the effort in on all sides of the ball and being able to show up with that mentality and effort every day.” The A’s haven’t made the playoffs since the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season when they lost to the and Oakland — the city — indefinitely won’t be back. Miller, though, appears to be the franchise cornerstone who can help the A’s dance again. General manager David Forst’s somewhat surprising retention of Miller at the 2024 MLB trade deadline proves the team believes it, one could imagine — but things can change. Wednesday’s game cemented one thing for sure: Miller is Oakland’s last great, historic closer.

In the second inning Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti got Arraez to miss on a curveball low and in.

Dodgers Injury Update: Gavin Stone 'Very Unlikely' To Return In 2024. Gavin Stone was among the Los Angeles Dodgers' most effective pitchers in 2024, but unfortunately, he was also one of the many that suffered an injury. Stone first landed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation in early September and he was shut down from throwing for at least 10 days. While there was some hope, albeit slim, that Stone would be back for the playoffs, he and the Dodgers needed everything in his rehab process to be checked without any setbacks.

Dodgers Vs. Marlins Game Preview: Mookie Betts Playing Second Base; Miguel Rojas Scratched. The Los Angeles Dodgers had their modest two-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday and now look to avoid what would be a disappointing series loss to the Miami Marlins. That also would amount to a losing record for the Dodgers on their seven-game road trip. They aim to rebound behind Landon Knack, who himself is coming off a subpar performance. Knack labored through just two innings last week against the Atlanta Braves as he allowed five runs on seven hits in what was the shortest start of his young career. Despite struggling through that start, Knack remains under consideration for the Dodgers' postseason rotation . Overall this season he's 2-4 with a 3.70 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 12 games (10

Yu Darvish (P - SD)
9/18/24 1:18 PM -
Padres Pitcher Extends Astonishing Modern-Era MLB Record. San Diego Padres ace Yu Darvish might have been sidelined for much of the season due to injuries and a personal matter, but it would be remiss to forget how dominant Darvish is. Since returning to the Padres on Sep. 4, Darvish pitched his best start yet on Monday. During Monday's 3-1 win over the Houston Astros, Darvish pitched six innings for the first time since his return. Perhaps the best stat to sum up what has made Darvish special as a pitcher is that he has recorded multiple strikeouts in every each of his MLB appearances — a remarkable 280 games since his debut with the Texas Rangers in April 2012.

Luisangel Acuña's huge game for the Mets hurts older brother's team, the Braves, in NL playoff race. Luisangel Acuña has subbed so nicely for the New York Mets already that his brother’s team is in growing danger of missing the postseason. Replacing an ailing Francisco Lindor at shortstop, Acuña capped a huge night at the plate with his first career home run to help the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 10-1 on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Acuña, a younger sibling of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., finished a triple short of the cycle and scored three times in his fourth major league game. New York’s victory coupled with Atlanta’s 6-5 loss in Cincinnati left the Braves two games out of a playoff spot with 11 to play. The Mets and Diamondbacks are tied for the second of three National League wild cards at 83-68.

Shohei Ohtani (DH - LAD)
9/18/24 12:20 PM -
AP PHOTOS: Ohtani chases historic 50-50 club in home runs and stolen bases.
Shohei Ohtani is getting closer to making himself the sole member of an exclusive club.
He's already the sixth player in major league history and the fastest ever to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases, needing just 126 games.
He’s the only player to hit the 40-40 mark in the same game. He did it in style, too, on a game-winning grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Aug. 23.
“He’s very goal-oriented,” Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He likes to take down records.”
On the horizon for Ohtani is potentially becoming the first member of the 50-50 club.
He blasted his 48th homer on Tuesday and has 48 stolen bases with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.
Ohtani signed a $700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers last December. The two-way Japanese superstar hasn’t pitched this season — his first with the Dodgers after six years with the Los Angeles Angels — as he rehabilitates after surgery for an injured elbow ligament that he had a year ago. That has allowed Ohtani to focus on his hitting.
Los Angeles leads the National League West and will be headed to the postseason in October, which will be another first for Ohtani. He didn’t reach the postseason with the Angels, and they never had a winning record during his tenure in Anaheim.

Puk, meanwhile, has been arguably the most dominant reliever in MLB since joining Arizona from the Miami Marlins with a ridiculous 42% strikeout rate (fourth in MLB).

Pirates' 3 Early Free Agent Targets In 2024 MLB Offseason. The 2024 season had its ups and downs for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The debut of Paul Skenes was the highlight but Pittsburgh had plenty of memorable moments from several impact players to make this season a little more tolerable for fans. The Pirates are six wins away from topping their win total from last year but another season will pass without playoff baseball. MLB free agency won't have as many big players this winter as the last, but there are still recognizable names that will demand heavy markets.

Could San Francisco Giants Finally Move on From Zaidi After Recent Negotiations?. The San Francisco Giants have a big decision to make, and they don't have much time. Is it time to move on from President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi? It isn't a new thought that the top executive in the Giants front office is on the hot seat. Although the initial expectation that the Giants would remain with the same people in charge after making an aggressive contract extension with third baseman Matt Chapman, recent reports of how the deal got finalized is beginning to raise questions on who is actually in control in the front office.

How Brewers helped Jackson Chourio rise from early struggles. The Milwaukee Brewers currently have a 10-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central standings with 12 games remaining in the season. Suffice to say, the Brewers are well on their way to capturing the division title for the second year in a row despite all the changes the team has gone through over the past year. Veteran shortstop Willy Adames and the Brewers, at first, felt as though it would be best if they let Chourio take his lumps, as they believed that the youngster will waste no time learning from his mistakes.

The Giants brought in Matt Chapman to be the anchor at third and Jung Hoo Lee to do the same in centerfield. Lee has been out for the majority of the season, which is what began the trend of San Francisco having players out of position. One player emblematic of this is Marco Luciano.
