Who Owned Baseball Yesterday ( May 13th) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings

Justin Upton

Justin Upton haunted his old team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, with a 4-5 performance including a double and a massive two run homer to center field as the Braves won 10-1.

Travis Wood pitched seven shutout innings against the Rockies and collected a pair of hits including and RBI double as the Cubs pounded Colorado, 9-1.

Justin Masterson pitched a masterful complete game shutout of the Yankees, letting up only 4 hits as the Indians won by the narrowest of margins, 1-0.

And Aaron Hicks not only hit two homers for the Twins in their 10-3 victory over the White Sox, but he stole Adam Dunn‘s home run with his glove. So as far as the Twins were concerned he was +3 in home runs, adding two and removing one.

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (May 8th) + Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings

Screen Shot 2013-05-08 at 11.24.45 PM

Paul Goldschmidt was a one man wrecking crew, smacking two homers and driving in all three Arizona runs as the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 3-2.

Mike Minor held the Cincinnati Reds to one run over 7 innings and striking out 7 as the Braves were triumphant, winning the series on the road.

Felix Hernandez pitched 8 solid innings letting up only one run and one walk as the Mariners held on to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

And Adam Rosales smashed a clutch 2 out game tying home run in the 9th inning for the A’s. He DID do that. Everyone saw it. Everyone saw the video. Just because Angel Hernandez botched the call doesn’t take away from the FACT that he hit that homer in that situation.

History will not record it as a home run and the A’s game tying rally was squashed even though it actually succeeded. I can not right that wrong and I can not change the past.

But I CAN increase the WOB total for Adam Rosales by one.

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (May 7th) + Updated Yearly WOB Standings

image-1-1337895

Matt Harvey may not have pitched a perfect game, or a no hitter, or even get credit for the Mets 1-0 win over the White Sox. But any pitcher who throws 9 innings, no runs, no walks, 1 hit and 12 strikeouts is going to be honored here.

Shin-Soo Choo hit a pair of home runs including the walk off shot with 2 outs in the 9th as the Reds stunned the Braves, 5-4

Scott Diamond threw his fourth straight good start. He pitched 7 shutout innings against the Red Sox, surrendering only 3 hits and no walks as the Twins won 6-1.

Matt Wieters drove in 3 of Baltimore’s 4 runs including the 8th inning go ahead tally as the Orioles squeaked by the Royals, 4-3.

Who Owned Baseball – Updated May 7th, 2013

Stephen Drew hit a game tying homer and a walk off double, going 4-5, as the Red Sox beat the Twins in extra innings, 6-5.

The Kansas City Royals lost in extra innings to the White Sox, 2-1. But don’t blame Royals starter James Shields. His 8 shutout inning performance where he let up only 2 hits and recorded nine strikeouts were enough to own baseball even if his bullpen couldn’t hold the 1-0 lead.

Andrelton Simmons homered twice and went 3-4 with 4 RBI in the Braves 7-4 defeat of the Cincinnati Reds.

Scott Feldman threw 7 shutout innings against the Texas as the Cubs beat the favored Rangers. The final score was 9-2.
