The Golden State Warriors loss in Game 1 of their Western Conference Final series versus Oklahoma City is not surprising considering how poorly the Dubs played.
I give all the credit in the world to the Thunder. They kept grinding it out and waited for their opening, sadly for Dubs fans the Warriors gave OKC numerous openings. Poor shot selection and quick shots while leading by double digits was the death-knell. Carelessness with the ball was clearly the Dubs un-doing and chances to add-on turned into buckets in transition for the Thunder.
Steven Adams was tremendous registering a double-double as the Thunder stayed with what they do well and that is go big. Russell Westbrook shook off a 1-for-10 to score 19 points in the 3rd quarter and finish with 27.
The Warriors clearly had trouble with Westbrook's dribble attacks. His aggressiveness in the 3rd quarter was a tone-setter. It was something the Warriors could stymie during the regular season, they will have to get back to those defensive principles in Game 2 and beyond. Saying they need to defend Westbrook better is easy, how do you do it ? Not easy. Dubs will need to throw multiple bodies at him and try to guard him with length. Iguodala is the natural choice but he needs to be on Durant. Thompson is probably where the Dubs need to go and hope he can slow him down.
We are already hearing the Warriors talk about how they played the Thunder's game in Game one. Shaun Livingston, "I think we played their game tonight instead of them playing our game." Andre Iguodala saw problems with the Warriors pace, "we gotta find our pace at a more consistent level."
Notice, nary a word about missing so many shots or taking so many rushed shots.
Contrary to what the national media and the Dubs haters will want you to believe, the outcome was only slightly because of things the Thunder did. Let's be intellectually honest here, the Warriors were pretty bad. The ball didn't move. Isolation dribble drives were preferred over pick-and-rolls and ball movement. If OKC is going to insist on playing big the Warriors need to make them pay with ball movement and pick-and-rolls causing mis-matches. They did that tonight on occasion but not nearly enough. When Kerr, Walton and company look at the game film it will become clear.
I am not very concerned. Am I in denial ? Maybe. I just don't see it. As good as KD and Westbrook are I don't see the liabilities that Kanter and Waiters are defensively being able to get the Thunder over the top. The haters are hoping that THIS is the Warriors team that shows up the rest of the series. I regret to inform them that this is the worst game the Warriors will play in this series.
The Warriors will win this series. The only question is will it last 5 or 6 games.
Be honest, you didn't think they could do this. Be honest, No fibs here people. After a tumultuous and sometimes rocky ride the 2016 Chico State Wildcats baseball team silenced the doubters and in turn wrote their own glorious chapter in Chico State baseball lore.
With four wins in four days, squeezed around a gut-wrenching loss the Cats summoned the guts and guile of some of Chico State's greatest teams. The Wildcats have punched their ticket to the NCAA West Regional.
Chico State not only limped into the conference tournament, they needed a walker. Chico had dropped 5 of 8 against two sub .500 teams and had lost 13 of 22 over a five-week stretch. Even the greatest of optimists would have been pushing the envelope in thinking the Wildcats could turn the table.
In the end, this is a story about a team that refused to be deterred, refused to let recent poor performance dictate their current circumstance and a team that showed a toughness and resiliency that has been a hallmark of the Chico State program.
In winning the school's fourth CCAA Conference Tournament title the Wildcats exorcised numerous demons from the previous three months. Their win over Pomona avenged a 9-2 shellacking where CCAA Pitcher of the Year Michael Koval threw a three-hitter over 8 innings out-pitching Clayton Gelfand. This time Gelfand twirled 7 gutty innings, not giving up an earned run and holding Pomona to 1-for-16 hitting with runners on base and 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
Their win over Monterey Bay signaled the signature moment for sophomore starter Hunter Haworth. He not only won two must-win contests against Sonoma and Stanislaus over the last couple of weeks, but he shoved against the power hitting Otters. Haworth scattered five hits over 8 innings and carved up a potent Monterey line-up.
The win over East Bay on Friday night was a performance for the ages by Steven Baker. The right-hander had lost six straight decisions, primarily out of the bullpen. His gem came just a day after surrendering a game tying double to UC San Diego with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the 9th inning. But Baker shoved all of that aside and shut-down the conference's best-hitting team, limiting East Bay to 7 hits and 2 runs over seven and a third innings as Chico played themselves into the title game with a 4-2 win.
There are not enough superlatives we can shower on Wildcat reliever Grant Wright. The submarining right-hander took the ball in the fourth inning of the title game on Saturday, pitching in his fifth straight game and for the fourth straight day. Wright pitched 5 innings of one run ball before tiring in the 9th. But, his tenacity and bulldog demeanor signified a sea-change for this 2016 team.
Historically this is a program that doesn't get "excited" by CCAA Tournament championships. There hasn't always been an emphasis put on this tournament, but this year was different. Chico State played so poorly down the stretch that their regional lives were hanging in the balance. There were scenarios that if Chico went 0-2 or even 1-2 in this tournament that they would not be going to the regional. Faced with the prospect of folding and completing an epic collapse, the Wildcats instead chose to fight, to dig deep, to grind, to "figure it out" as a club. No one could do it for them. This was all about those guys in that uniform. So, while we all celebrate them and what our favorite baseball team accomplished. I think this group should take great pride in the fact that they rescued a season that was sinking fast. They went on a run against some very good teams and played at a championship level. I for one see no reason why they can't continue this amazing run.
A week ago Wildcat faithful were lamenting a series loss to Stanislaus State. But now, here we sit, with a banner that will hang from the rafters of Acker. I put nothing past this group. They remind me of another group of ne'er do wells, the 2006 Wildcats. Supremely talented, frustrating at times, but gutty and hard-nosed. Each and every time that team was counted out, they responded, they refused to give in. This group has had a ton of chances to do the same thing, they haven't quit.
There has been nothing easy about this season. The players will tell you that, the coaches will tell you that, the fans, heck even the broadcaster, but I would rather go to battle with a group that has been tested, then a team that has faced no adversity all season long. No one can ever take away the last four days from this group. This feat belongs to them. And now they have a chance to add a chapter or two to this amazing story.
Sometimes out of a necessity you embrace something that has been seen as a hindrance or speed bump to your overall success. We see it all the time in every walk of life. How many times has a conservative complained about big government Medicare and prescription drug benefits, only to tout the programs when they desperately need them. Necessity breeds understanding.
This is where the Chico State Wildcats baseball program is today. Embracing the CCAA Tournament as their sole life line to the NCAA West Region Championship tournament. Historically this early post-season confluence of conference foes was a pre-cursor and tune-up for the big prize, the regional. Nothing could be further from the truth this week.
The CCAA Championships is the Wildcats nadir. Their regional hopes ride on their performance over the next four days . I know it. They know it.
I will spare the Wildcat faithful the insidious numbers since April 3rd. I would rather focus on when this team was a dynamic offensive machine hitting nearly .340 as a club with an on base percentage hovering near .420. Sitting at 22-6 on the night of April 2nd in San Marcos, I never thought they would be in this position.
Several years ago after a change in Wildcat fortunes I said, "baseball is a fickle mistress." She has never been so downright audacious.
There is no diminishing the conference tournament today in Wildcat land. It is Chico's lifeline to more baseball next week. I saw this team perform with machine-like efficiency for two months, its time to recapture the magic.
For 20 years Chico State baseball has been about performing when the lights shine the brightest, they are shining. I fully expect them to rise to the occasion
The old adage is, if you go to the ballpark you will see something you have never seen before each and every time you go. That certainly happened to me over the weekend broadcasting the Chico State and San Francisco State series from San Francisco.
As the Chico State Wildcats were playing game two of their double-header on Saturday afternoon, a miniature up-rising of Chico State parents took exception to my descriptions and analysis of what was happening on the field. Let me be clear, it is well within their right to question my descriptions, especially if they are present and disagree. Hell, they can even disagree if they are not present. Momma and poppa can certainly think the radio guy is a horses arse and refuse to give his calls, descriptions and opinions any credence. I have no problem with that. They aren't the first and they certainly won't be the last. But, there were some comments that I did take exception to, and feel my role as a play-by-play broadcaster needs to be clarified.
First a little background, I grew up learning the trade listening and admiring the great Bill King. His descriptions and accounts were impeccably on point. His detractors cite his effusive opinions that didn't pull any punches. He is the guy I admired. He taught me the game. King called a spade a spade and I loved that about him.
In my 19 years behind the microphone I have had several mis-steps during games. It kind of goes with the territory when you broadcast for hours on end. You come to expect the occasional foible, it's part of the deal. It usually comes when a broadcaster backs themselves into a corner verbally, and they flail to get out. Saturday was not one of those days, which makes the parental outburst all that more confusing.
During the game in question Saturday, the Chico State pitcher was struggling with his command, struggling to find his location and hit his spots. You combine this with a ridiculously small and tight strike zone and you have the makings for some trouble. So, as the pitches continued to be called balls, and the frustration mounted the peanut gallery (Chico State fans) got a little bit perturbed and start voicing their displeasure toward the home plate umpire. Let me add, all well within their right. But, in San Francisco my broadcasting venue is behind the back-stop to the left of home plate. Not directly behind home plate, but to the left. My crowd microphone was picking up everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. There came a point, where those of us behind the dish got a little uncomfortable with the comments, as San Francisco State staff and myself kind of looked around to witness the vociferous reactions. As the broadcaster, knowing listeners at home were hearing this, I felt I needed to expound upon the reactions that were being transmitted through the crowd mic.
As the pitches out of the strike zone mounted, the voices grew louder. My contention on the broadcast was, "if you are a pitcher, and you don't have any command of the strike zone you should not expect border line pitches to be called strikes from an umpire that has a tight zone and hasn't seen you establish any of your pitches." Broadcasting out in the open is never really fun. It's better to be self-contained in a booth where one can have some semblance of privacy, in this instance I needed it.
Chico State parents took exception to this analysis of the strike zone and where these pitches actually were. Some of the comments that reigned down, "get with it, you are clueless." (Good One), "you are a Chico State announcer, you shouldn't be saying these things, you need to be supportive of Chico State" (talk about this in a moment) "I am behind home plate, these pitches are right over the plate, you have no idea what you are talking about." (LOL)
Love it !!!!
Let me answer a few of these things since I couldn't answer my "home" fans while on the radio. First, any parent or fan would be hard pressed to find someone who wants Chico State to win more than me. Chico State is my alma mater. I have broadcast Chico State athletics for 23 years dating back to my days as a student. I absolutely want Chico State to win in all athletic endeavors every single time without exception. My competitiveness when it comes to Chico State winning is obsessive. I am happy and gleeful when they win, I am bummed and trudge around the house when they lose. So, this inference that I relish their demise is comical.
My job as a radio broadcaster is to provide, what I believe to be an accurate account of what is taking place for the Chico State fans. It's not to sugar-coat a sub-par performance from an athlete when he or she isn't performing. This is not an indictment on that player as a person, it's just about their performance. I would venture to guess not many of those in attendance on Saturday would agree with the legions around the conference who have asserted that I am the ultimate"homer" in the CCAA. I have never thought of myself as a "homer" where I mask the performance of Chico State athletes with platitudes.
Being called "clueless" been there…..done that. "No idea what I'm talking about" not the first time I"ve heard that. "Being a Chico State announcer, and having to tailor my description a certain way." Well, I haven't done that for 23 years and it's probably not a good idea to start now.
The crux of the problem on Saturday was I simply didn't think command had been established, so when a pitcher throws some borderline pitches, doesn't get them, and then complains, he isn't going to get any calls. The peanut gallery can disagree, heck even Chico State head coach Dave Taylor got ejected for his disgust with the strike zone. I agree, the zone was tiny and it was horrible. How else would a 7-inning game last three hours ? What I was trying to impart, as I usually do during a broadcast is "today, those aren't strikes, and if you want them to be strikes, you better have command." If I was an umpire, I wouldn't have called those strikes either. I can certainly empathize with Chico State fans who thought the San Francisco State pitcher was getting those borderline calls. In fact, he was. He was also getting hit hard by Wildcat hitters. Therefore there weren't a lot of deep and leveraged counts.
The passion of Chico State fans is unmatched. I am far from perfect. I make mistakes all the time. Heck, I may even be wrong about this. But one thing has always been clear to me, being a Chico State broadcaster shouldn't blind me to the reality of the action, and Saturday it didn't.
So now we know. The defending and most likely two-time MVP Steph Curry will miss AT LEAST the next two weeks with a sprained right medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
The rallying cry for the Golden State Warriors for the last two seasons has been "Strength in Numbers." All along the Warriors have embraced their greatest strength, incredible depth. That depth will be tested with the loss of the best player in the NBA.
During this great run by the Dubs they have never used injuries, match-ups for a poor performance and they are not about to start now. As Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green said after Sunday's win over the woeful Houston Rockets, the Warriors were assembled and built for THIS. THIS doesn't mean the post-season, THIS means "next man up." Just because the doubters are coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches sensing a meal, the Warriors will not yield.
Only Warriors lifers could see the look in the eyes of their team in the 3rd quarter on Sunday. The Dubs relished the opportunity to pick-up their mate bring home a victory. The Warriors weren't going to let the guy who has meant so much to them down in a game that had that ominous feeling. Green knocked down three straight three's and taunted the Houston crowd. Iguodala left the fish-hook follow through on his trifecta and Klay Thompson held up the double "3" sign with a furrowed brow as the Warriors blew the Rockets out of their own building. These dudes are a different breed, been there done that.
So, as teams salivate at the chance to take a bite out of the Warriors, this group sees more doubters and chance to shut even more people up. The Warriors should beat the hapless Rockets. If indeed they meet the Clippers in the second round it would be epic match-up between the newly engaged antagonists.
The Cleveland Browns are being almost universally lauded for trading the second overall selection in this weekend's NFL Draft for multiple selections this year, next year and in 2018. On the surface it looks like a shrewd move that will help this languishing franchise replenish their talent pool and become relevant. But, trading down doesn't necessarily guarantee success. Just ask the loyal Dawg Pound faithful….
Three times over the past seven years the Cleveland Browns have traded a top-ten first round draft choice to move down in the draft and garner multiple selections. And, almost every time the Browns screwed it up.
In 2009 the Browns had the fifth overall selection in the draft. Sitting on the board were several key players including USC quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Browns traded the pick to the New York Jets for their first round selection (#17 overall) and the Jets second round selection (#52 overall) plus three players including Kenyon Coleman, Abram Elam and Brett Ratliff.
With the first round selection which eventually turned into the 19th pick the Browns selected center Alex Mack out of Cal. Roundly considered one of the best centers in the league, Mack was a lynch pin for the Browns offensive line for several seasons before signing a free agent contract with Atlanta this off-season. The Browns chose linebacker David Veikune out of Hawaii with the second round selection. Veikune played only 10 games for the Browns before being released.
Coleman was a solid performer, a defensive end for the Browns for two seasons but then left after two years signing with Dallas. Safety Abram Elam played one year for Cleveland and played well before leaving for Dallas as a free agent. Ratliff was Cleveland's third-string quarterback and never saw the field.
In analyzing this deal, I think Cleveland did fairly well. Alex Mack for Mark Sanchez was a steal and even though Veikune was a flop, the Browns got some nice production from Coleman and Elam. This trade was not a slam dunk for the Browns but I believe they definitely won this trade. As you will see, this is as good as it got
In 2011 there was new regime at the helm and they realized they needed depth. They made what they thought was blockbuster deal that would fill several holes. Whoooops !
The Browns had the #6 overall selection and Cleveland was in desperate need for a wide receiver. Sitting on the board was Alabama stand-out Julio Jones. Instead of taking Jones the Browns traded the pick to the Atlanta Falcons for Atlanta's first round selection (#27 overall) the Falcons second rounder (#59 overall) their 4th round selection (#124 overall.) Cleveland also got Atlanta's first round pick in 2012 (#22 overall) and their 4th rounder.
This trade was hailed as a heist for Cleveland. Most analysts believed the Falcons mortgaged their future for Jones and they weren't wrong. While Atlanta was a Matt Ryan interception away from going to the Super Bowl, the last few years have not been kind to the Falcons. Their lack of interior line help and defensive depth has hurt them badly. But, in the end they win the trade because Cleveland so badly botched their selections.
With the 27th overall choice the Browns chose Baylor NT Phil Taylor as they looked for a lineman who could stop the run. Taylor played well when he was on the field, but he couldn't stay healthy and was released in 2015. He is now out of football. With the 59th selection Cleveland chose a player who had some of the worst hands we have ever seen on a wide receiver….EVER. Greg Little out of North Carolina. Little had an amazing body with great strength, there was just one tiny problem. HE COULDN'T CATCH THE BALL. He was released by Cleveland in 2014 and in January signed a contract with the Buffalo Bills. Good luck with that Buffalo.
With the 124th selection Cleveland chose Stanford line-backer/running back Owen Marecic. One of the enticements about Marecic is he could play offense and defense. Sadly for Cleveland he couldn't do neither at the professional level. Marecic was out of football by 2013 and is currently finishing his pre-med requirements at Stanford where he will get into medical research. Good for him, bad for the Browns.
With Atlanta's 2012 first round selection the Browns chose quarterback Brandon Weeden out of Oklahoma State. Yes, I know what you are thinking here……it just gets worse and worse, well, you are right !!!! Never mind that the guy was almost 30 years old, the Browns thought he was their quarterback of the future. Weeden played two years for the Browns showing a cannon arm but no feel for the position. Sometimes he left fans wondering if he had any peripheral vision. He spent two years with Dallas, starting several games after Tony Romo got injured. Dallas fans will also tell you he might have some peripheral vision problems. In January Weeden signed a two year deal with the Houston Texans.
The 4th round pick Cleveland got in the Julio Jones trade was flipped in the Trent Richardson deal to Indianapolis……guh !
So, if you are keeping score at home the Browns got Phil Taylor (out of football) Greg Little (hands of stone) Owen Marecic (in medical school) and Brandon Weeden (no peripheral vision) and Atlanta got Julio "freaking" Jones. Uhhhh, that would be a win for Atlanta. MAJOR WIN for the Atlanta Falcons.
If you thought the Browns had learned their lesson and decided not to trade down again, you don't know or understand Cleveland's fascination with misery. in 2014 there was a completely new regime in charge of football operations and they decided to put their money on the roulette table and try this trade down thing as well (they are like addicts.)
In 2014 the Browns had the number 4 overall selection and once again they needed a wide receiver. On the board were Sammy Watkins and Odell Beckham Junior. Instead the Browns traded the #4 pick to Buffalo for the Bills number one pick #9 overall AND the Bills first round pick in 2015 and their 4th rounder in 2015. Buffalo chose Watkins, when the Browns pick came they selected a guy who many felt was a reach at number 9. The "many felt" were right, the Browns brass was wrong. With the #9 pick the Browns chose Oklahoma State defensive back and kick returner Justin Gilbert. Put Gilbert's face on a milk carton. He has been MIA since he arrived in Cleveland. He has been plagued by sub-par play and questions about his work ethic. The Browns could have had up and coming receiver in Watkins or superstar Beckham, instead Gilbert. Horrendous selection.
In 2015 the Browns completed the trade by choosing Florida State offensive lineman Cameron Erving with the 19th pick of the first round. The choice made sense since the Browns assumed Mack would be leaving via free agency this year, which he has. Cleveland believed Erving was the heir apparent at center, which he probably isn't. In Erving's first year he was over-matched and out-played and looked out of his element. He could barely get on the field.
The Browns new regime, feels Erving had a great off-season and are prepared see what he can bring this year at either center or tackle……Yeesh ! With the 4th round pick the Browns chose Vince Mayle a wide receiver from Washington State. Mayle was released by the Browns before the season even started after it was discovered he had a broken thumb that was mis-diagnosed. He spent 2015 on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. Wow !
So, in the seven years I analyzed the Browns have had numerous drafts with plentiful picks and have moved down three times. Only once it can be argued did they win that trade. And, even with that victory, Alex Mack has moved on. The Browns are on their fourth different front office regime since 2008. This isn't stratomatic people, this is the Cleveland Browns way !
After reading this I hope you understand why Cleveland's trade that netted them picks number 77 and 100 in this weekend's draft and an extra first round pick next year to go along with a second round selection in 2018 doesn't titillate me.
Cleveland has 6 picks in the top 100. They have 12 picks in this draft, tied for the most in the league. While all of that is good news, it doesn't do any good if you have the Three Stooges making selections.
Do I have any faith that Cleveland will have a great draft and they will net several All-Pro performers ? No. Do I have any faith that Paul DePodesta and his analytics nerd boys will pull the Browns out football's abyss ? No. Do I have any believe that the Browns football franchise and their owner have any clue of what they are doing ? No.
I have reached the point where platitudes and talk ring hollow. They need to show me. Show me on the field that you know how to run a football team. Show me that you aren't completely devoid of any football knowledge. So, while some Browns fans cheer the accumulation of draft picks, forgive me while I sit back, put on a wry smile and expect to see some guy walk across the stage who will probably be flipping burgers in 24 months.
I know we are seven games into a 162 game season but let's get real. Right this very moment the San Francisco Giants are a better baseball team than the Los Angeles Dodgers. It doesn't hurt to say this. The truth is the truth.
As good as the Dodgers are offensively (and they are damn good) they don't have the rotation depth and bullpen to compete for 162 games with the San Francisco Giants. Many of us saw the iceberg and were accused of being alarmists and not "true fans" for sounding the alarm.
How do the Dodgers fix their problem ? This is the million dollar question and it doesn't have any easy answers. The bullpen should have been fixed in the off-season, it wasn't and now the club pays the price. Here are some possible remedies, but they aren't sure-fire fixes….
With all of this said I do realize we are only seven games into the season. This front office KNEW our rotation was not going to be as strong as last year, for them to think the bullpen would suddenly be better is mind-boggling. Having only one left-handed pitcher to start the season who tops out at 85 and struggles with inherited runners is not an answer from the left side.
The bullpen needed to be fixed, preferably in December. For the Dodgers brass they will have to try to fix it in-season and that is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. If they do decide to go the trade route they better be judicious in the kids they give up for a problem that could have been solved by a few extra dollars.
Keep Bleeding Dodger Blue !
The lunatic fringe, known as Dodgers Nation, is obsessed with Dave Roberts' decision to pull Ross Stripling with one out in the bottom of the 8th inning in a game where he was throwing a no-hitter. I get the consternation but we can't overlook the facts here. Stripling is two years removed from Tommy John surgery and this was his first major league start. He had just walked a hitter with one out in the 8th and had hit the magic 100 pitch count. In my mind, no-brainer, you pull the kid, shake his hand and tell him, "we are going to need you 25-30 more times this season, great job." END OF STORY.
Ahhhh, but all the amateur GM's are hammering Roberts for his decision. That's OK Dave, roll with it. They know not of what they speak.
In the wake of this Friday night debacle Dodgers fans are asking the wrong questions. Quit questioning the move to pull Stripling and start questioning, what in the world Friedman/Zaidi and Byrnes are doing in that front office. This is the third straight year the Dodgers have entered a season with an unproven bullpen. I have heard all the arguments from my twitter friends, "but they are trying to get arms, Chapman deal was in place, we offered O'Day more money, we offered Gregerson more money." I hear you loud and clear. But, you are missing the point. As an architect the people who live in the building don't want to hear about the high quality steal you "could have" had, they want to hear about what you have. And, what the Friedman, Zaidi and Byrnes crew has given us isn't Rearden Steel. Instead its a cheap imitation that melts in extreme heat.
The big leagues is not a place for pitchers to learn their secondary pitches. That is for the minors. Pedro Baez has one pitch. It's a 98-100 mile per hour fastball, certainly a great attribute but he can't consistently locate it and his secondary pitch is a slider which he can execute at roughly a 20 percent clip. That isn't good. Personally, his act has grown tiresome. His post-season foibles are tough to forget. I would be willing to let bygones' be bygones if he had a serviceable second offering…..he doesn't have one.
Chris Hatcher supposedly has a change-up. We all know he has a great fastball, but to quote the great Teddy Ballgame in Ed Linn's great book, Hitter, "I am so good at hitting the fastball that if it doesn't have any run on it and it is straight, I will hit. I could hit a bullet out of gun if its straight." Hatcher's fastball is straight, his change-up is inconsistent. Don't ask me, look at the hitter's measure Hatcher and Baez.
To continue sending these guys to the mound in leveraged situations without other options or even addressing this ongoing bullpen problem is negligence. I have written too many blogs about this topic. Why ? One, is I have too much late night-time on my hands, but two, this team can not and will not win a pennant, let alone a World Series with this bullpen.
Friedman and company have had two years to address this bullpen and they continue with the same group of one pitch wonders. Evidently there is some analytic that tells these guys that Baez and Hatcher are essential. The Dodgers needed to address this bullpen issue, not with would've's and could've's but they needed a strategic plan to make it better. Make O'Day an offer he couldn't refuse. Make Andrew Miller an offer he couldn't refuse.
The Royals and Giants have been winning World Series with strong lights-out bullpens. I am not sure why the memo hasn't gotten to the Dodgers.
So, in closing, while the fringe debates Roberts' move, the rest of us here in the world of sane people continues to wonder why we continue running the same guys out there who cough up games year-after-year out of that bullpen
The road trip from hell is over and now the Chico State Wildcat baseball team can circle the wagons and get ready for the stretch run.
Going 3-3 on their most recent 96 hour two-city road trip was wicked difficult. The ramifications of rain-outs are usually taxing, more so when you are team that doesn't live in an urban center. Chico State's weekend travel included a flight to San Diego, a three game set against Cal State San Marcos on Saturday and Sunday. A delayed flight late Sunday night back to Sacramento which meant they didn't get back into Chico until 3am.
Twelve hours later the Cats had to hop back on a bus and head to East Bay where they would finish a suspended game from March 4th (a loss) and then play the rescheduled double-header from a March 5th rain out (15-13 win; 10-9 extra inning loss).
Before you shed a tear for these Cats I do recognize these young men are playing baseball. I do get that. As head coach Dave Taylor told me during Tuesday's pre-game from Cal State East Bay, "it's not like we are digging ditches for a living, we're playing baseball." All true, but to perform at your highest level I am firm believer in physical rest and mental clarity. I believe the body's biorhythms must be in sync. Young or not, the body and mind needs rest and these Wildcats didn't get any last weekend and into Monday and Tuesday.
Chico State now sits at 23-9 overall and 13-7 in the CCAA. This year is far cry from the angst of the 2015 campaign. We are certainly thankful for the resurgence of this proud program. These 2016 Wildcats are one of the best hitting teams we have seen in Chico State history. They simply rake. One-through-nine in the order this group seeks out their pitch and when they get it, they haven't been missing it. I rarely see hitters on this squad put themselves at a disadvantage by swinging at bad pitches early in the count. This team's plate discipline is stellar. They seek out the mistake and then pounce. Amazing collective approach by these hitters. A week ago they surpassed the 2015 team's runs total for the year. They did it in about roughly 25 fewer games.
As a team Chico State is hitting .335 on the year with an on-base percentage of .416. They are second in the conference in extra base hits (Monterey Bay is 1st) although the Otters batting average is nearly 40 points lower than the Cats. The offensive prowess of this team ranks with some of the great offensive teams we have seen here at Chico State, especially clubs we saw during the "live ball" era 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2006. Offensively this team is good enough to win a West Region title.
To be the team they want to be, and to reach the goals they want to reach the Wildcat pitching staff needs to ratchet it up a notch. While the Chico State arms rank second in team ERA for the season (3.64), their production during conference play has taken a huge dip (4.72)
Despite being away from the team for much of March, one problem that has persisted with this group is not throwing strike one. By not getting ahead in the count the Wildcat pitchers are putting themselves at a tremendous disadvantage. Both San Marcos and East Bay were two of the top three hitting teams in the CCAA. The Cats spent the entire four-day stretch falling behind these quality hitters. This is no way to live. And, it wasn't just one or two guys, other than AJ Epstein's five inning relief stint on Tuesday, not one Chico State hurler could consistently get ahead in the count.
Also, not one Wildcat starter went more than five innings. In the three game San Marcos series Wildcat starters went 14.2 innings and walked 11 hitters. For the entire 27 inning series Wildcat pitchers walked 19 Cougars. Not good.
While many may point to the struggles of Chico State's bullpen, the starters need to shoulder a ton of the blame. Eventually a team and a pitching staff will have to pay the price for starters who constantly have deep counts, walk hitters and don't go deep in contests. In this competitive conference a team can survive maybe one sub-par start a weekend. When they get three less than average starts, good luck. By the time Tuesday came around the Wildcat bullpen was spent. The Wildcat starters need to pitch deeper, when they don't, it stretches the bullpen thin.
Was last weekend a blip on the screen, an aberration ? I do believe last weekend and into Tuesday were your atypical grouping of games. We all knew it would be tough against two of the better hitting teams in the conference and it was. The Wildcats are capable on the mound, but the time for talking about it is over. It's time for the entire staff to take ownership of their performances. Five innings from the starters is not good enough. Average teams have starters that go five innings. Great teams have pitchers who get through seven. Throw strike one, get ahead in the count. quit nibbling. Attack the hitters, believe in your stuff.
It sounds simple, we know it's not. This team can hit. They rank right up there with some of the more complete offensive teams to wear the Cardinal and White. Even with some pitching slippage at San Marcos and East Bay blowing 7-2 and 8-2 leads, this group of arms is certainly talented enough to get the Cats where they want to go. But, the time for toughness is now. No excuse making, no lamenting ones' role. Every great Chico State team has faced that put up or shut up moment and that time is fast approaching. It's time for this group to dig deep and show the toughness we believe they have.

GridPoint, an innovator in comprehensive, data-driven energy management systems (EMS) that enable customers to optimize energy savings, facility efficiency and sustainability agendas, is pleased to announce Electracom Projects, a building management systems (BMS) specialist based in the United Kingdom, as an international extension of GridPoint's channel partner program. Electracom's installation and BMS combined with GridPoint's submetering and monitoring technology allows UK enterprises to enhance energy conscious behaviour through innovative sensoring, cloud-based big data analytics and intelligent control.
New regulations and rising energy costs prompt adoption of submetering technology
Electracom and GridPoint's strategic partnership opens new opportunities for both companies to provide effective energy and sustainability management for enterprises as the United Kingdom prepares for the implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive in 2015, which will require a programme of regular energy audits.
"With costs of energy steadily rising in the United Kingdom and the impending changes in government regulations within the energy industry fast approaching, Electracom surveyed the market and saw a need to employ next-generation energy management solutions to help businesses gain control through submetering, monitoring and cloud-based big data analytics," says director Kerry Overman of Electracom. "GridPoint's vision is to deliver Internet of Things technology specific to energy; transforming how commercial, government and educational enterprises reduce energy expenses and carbon emissions, which they have successfully proven with their impressive customer base."
Energy management solutions bring data-driven visibility to usage
Todd M. Raba, president and CEO of GridPoint, says of the partnership, "GridPoint is excited to further our business in the United Kingdom with the assistance of Electracom. Their extensive energy industry experience and installation skills position us to assist UK enterprises as they adapt to new energy regulations and manage escalating energy prices."
The GridPoint solution submeters individual energy-consuming assets and monitors environmental conditions, sends the data to a cloud-based platform and provides real-time visibility, big data analytic capabilities and dynamic control over energy usage, carbon emissions and critical facility performance. Electracom's expertise in BMS, automatic controls and electrical installation helps bring these innovative solutions to United Kingdom businesses and government agencies aiming to save money, reduce carbon, enhance customer comfort and achieve sustainability goals.
GridPoint's savings demonstrated in North American retailers
GridPoint solutions have delivered proven results through the combination of data-driven, real-time, asset-level submetering with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) analytics. With GridPoint's submetering devices in place, a big box retailer identified 249 issues across 1,100 stores, including unnecessary energy expenses, malfunctioning HVAC and lighting systems and freezer and cooler inventory losses. Additionally, a convenience store operator saves 22% annually per site in energy and capital expenses by monitoring HVAC performance and detecting malfunctions before damaging outages occur.
About Electracom Projects
Electracom Projects has been trading since 2003 and was incorporated in 2008 to form Electracom Projects (UK) Ltd. Initially a provider of electrical installation works to a number of the UK's premier and blue chip companies Electracom specialises in power, control and data cabling systems. In 2011, the company expanded its capabilities to provide a specialist service for Building Management Systems (BMS). Electracom works closely with technology and business organisations to create control capabilities that not only meet today's needs to reduce cost, but also addresses tomorrow's needs for enhanced business and operational capabilities enabled by converged networks.

In the rush to compete in the digital age, a successful digital transformation is essential, but many organizations are setting themselves up for failure. There's a common misconception that the process is just about technology, but it's not. It's about your business. It shouldn't be treated as an isolated IT project; it should be driven by business needs with the committed involvement of a range of stakeholders.

Introduction Life expectancy at birth in high developed countries has increased significantly over the last 50 years, for example, by about nine years in the USA, 11 years in Germany and even 17 years in Japan.

For example, from 1980 to 2003, male life expectancy at birth rose by 5.7 years in England and...

Rodrigo Abd, Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez's crusade to transform Venezuela into a socialist state, which has bitterly divided the nation, was put to the stiffest electoral test of his nearly 14 years in power on Sunday in a closely fought presidential election.
Both camps said turnout was high, with millions of Venezuelans casting ballots. Long lines formed at many polling centers, with queues of hundreds of voters snaking along sidewalks and around blocks in many parts of Caracas.
Chavez's challenger, Henrique Capriles, has united the opposition in a contest between two sides that distrust each other so deeply there were concerns whether a close election result would be respected.
"We will recognize the results, whatever they are," Chavez told reporters after casting his vote in Caracas.
Chavez was greeted at the polling center by American actor Danny Glover and Guatemalan Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu. He said he was pleased to see a "massive turnout."
The stakes couldn't be higher.
If Chavez wins a new six-year term, he gets a free hand to push for an even bigger state role in the economy, further limit dissent and continue to befriend rivals of the United States.
With a Capriles win, an abrupt foreign policy shift can be expected, including halting preferential oil deals with allies such as Cuba, along with a loosening of state economic controls and an increase in private investment. A tense transition would likely follow until the January inauguration because Chavez's political machine thoroughly controls the wheels of government.
Some Venezuelans were nervous about what might happen if disputes erupt over the election's announced outcome.
"There's a little anxiety on one side and also on the other," said Deyanira Duarte, a housewife who voted for Capriles in downtown Caracas. She said she was worried about what could happen if there were a dispute.
Others said they were simply pleased to be out backing their candidate.
Carlos Julio Silva, a bodyguard employed by a private security company, said whatever his faults, Chavez deserves re-election for helping people with programs including free medical care and public housing.
"There is corruption, there's plenty of bureaucracy, but the people have never had a leader who cared about this country," Silva said after voting for Chavez at a school in the Caracas slum of Petare. "That's why the people are going to re-elect Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias."
Chavez's critics say the president has inflamed divisions by labeling his opponents "fascists," ''Yankees" and "neo-Nazis," while Chavez backers allege Capriles would halt generous government programs that assist the poor.
During Chavez's final rally Thursday in Caracas, he shouted to the crowd: "We're going to give the bourgeoisie a beating!"
Reveille blared from sound trucks around the capital to awaken voters on Sunday morning, and the bugle call was later replaced by folk music mixed with a recording of Chavez's voice saying "those who love the homeland come with me." At many polling places, voters started lining up hours before polls opened at dawn.
"I'm really tired of all this polarization," said Lissette Garcia, a 39-year-old clothes seller and Capriles supporter who voted Sunday in the affluent Caracas district of Las Mercedes. "I want to reconnect with all my friends who are 'Chavistas.'"
Some said they waited in line for more than four hours to vote, while in other areas the lines moved more quickly.
Violence flared sporadically during the campaign, including shootings and rock-throwing during rallies and political caravans. Two Capriles supporters were shot to death in the western state of Barinas last weekend.

The City of Lee's Summit Prepares for Second Major Winter Storm
February 25, 2013
As the City prepares for the second major storm of the year citizens are encourage to stock up, stay in, and stay safe. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 3:00 p.m. Monday, to 3:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Snow fall amounts of 12 plus inches are expected for the area. The additional snow on top of what we already have will certainly make safe travel a challenge.
Make sure that you stock up early on food, medication and other supplies…before the storm.
Snow removal crews began pre-treating streets Monday morning, and will begin plowing all roads (primary, secondary and residential) as soon as measurable snowfall arrives. During the storm, priority is given to keeping a passable lane on all primary routes. Once the snow has stopped, crews will work toward having two cleared lanes on all streets within 48 hours.
During the last storm our citizens did a great job of removing vehicles from the roadways so crews could more effectively clear the streets. Please help us again with this storm by not parking vehicles on the street or in the cul-de-sacs.
The police department will tow illegally parked and abandoned vehicles that are blocking the primary roads. The police department will attempt to contact the vehicle's owner to have it removed prior to having it towed. If you have questions about your vehicle, call the Lee's Summit Police Department at (816) 969-7391.
Once the storm starts residents are asked to stay indoors unless it is absolutely necessary to get out and to help with the snow removal process by doing the following:
• Remove vehicles from streets to prevent a delay and to improve the snow removal process. This is especially critical on cul-de-sacs.
• Shovel snow to the side of your driveway to lessen the amount of snow left at the entrance of your driveway. City crews will not come back and clear driveways entrances, or lift the plow when passing a driveway.
• Remove snow from around fire hydrants near your property.
Other safety tips to remember:
• Make sure that all exit doors are free of snow and can be opened in case of an emergency.
• Ensure that snow is not blocking furnace exhaust vents on the roof, or side of the house.
• Do not allow children to play in snow piles along the street. Snow plow operators cannot see children on, or inside of a tunneled snow pile.
• Have a disaster supply kit with enough supplies for at least 72 hours. For more information about what should be in your kit go to www.preparemetrokc.org.
• Check on friends and neighbors to make sure they are okay.
The City remains under a State of Emergency as we monitor the approaching winter storm.
The City's Emergency Operation Center will be staffed during the storm to monitor changing conditions and ensure that public safety concerns are being addressed.
You may call the Snow Desk at (816) 969-1870. Normal business hours are 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. During winter storm events, the Snow Desk operates 24 hours a day.
For more information about the City's snow removal program, visit www.lspw.net or stay-up-to-date on Nixle, Facebook and Twitter.
