Stat geek: Numbers, analysis of Indians, baseball — May 11

Akron Beacon Journal — 27 — Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz carried a 27-game hitting streak that extended from last season into Wednesday but had it snapped after an 0-5 day. It’s the longest hitting streak in Boston since Johnny Damon hit safely in 29 consecutive games in 2005. The longest streak to extend over two seasons still belongs to Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies, who put together a 38-game streak between 2005-06..382 — Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, last year’s Triple Crown and MVP winner, is again leading the American League in batting average with a .382 mark. If he could...

Longoria went 1 for 4 Tuesday and is batting .282.

Go get Johnny!

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — Johnny Damon sounds desperate. He comes across as a fading champion who is just dying to take one more punch. An athlete reared at Scott Boras' knee who has already thrown any idea of negotiating out the window. That the Yankees should take a flyer on Damon, who was released by the Cleveland Indians in August of last year, an outfielder/DH, who had an OPS of .610 last year, says a lot about the current makeup of the ball club. It already feels like dire times, and first pitch is still two calendar turns away.

The Rays Tank: Rays Down Red Sox & Johnny Damon Is Still Bitter

DRaysBay — The Rays improved to 3-1 this spring with a victory over the Red Sox yesterday afternoon.

"The home run isn't very good, and the RBI double wasn't very good, but I got a lot of ground balls, which is what I'm looking for." The bullpen was excellent, with notables Jamey Wright, Cesar Ramos and Jake McGee combining to throw four innings, gi...
