Allen Craig deserved to be MVP? 12Bet update 10/31


In Game 7 of the World Series, Allen Craig(notes) hit a third-inning home run off Matt Harrison(notes) to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 lead over the Texas Rangers. The Cards would never trail again in the game, as they went on to win, 6-2, clinching their 11th World Series championship.
The home run was Craig's third of the series. And with that homer, he drove in the go-ahead run for St. Louis in four of the seven games against the Rangers. (The Cardinals went on to win three of those games, with their Game 2 loss being the exception.)


In both Games 1 and 2 of the series, Craig came through with pinch-hit RBI singles off the Rangers' Alexi Ogando(notes) that gave St. Louis the lead. If not for him, the Cardinals could have been down 0-2 in the series before heading to Arlington for the next three games.
His three home runs tied teammate Albert Pujols(notes) for the highest total in the World Series. His 1.154 OPS was second to David Freese among Cardinals hitters, and third overall (behind the Rangers' Mike Napoli(notes)). And as mentioned, four of his five RBI in the series gave St. Louis the lead.
Craig also helped the team with his glove when he played in the field. In the sixth inning of Game 7, his leaping catch at the left field fence robbed Nelson Cruz(notes) of a home run that would've cut the Cardinals' lead to 5-3 and potentially fueled a Rangers rally. - http://sports.yahoo.com

Swallows win Game 1 to put Giants on brink 

JASON COSKREY



The Tokyo Yakult Swallows came out on top in their season series against the Yomiuri Giants this year. Now they're halfway to a triumph that may be even more satisfying.

Kyohei Muranaka delivered a solid performance out of the bullpen, Shinya Miyamoto drove in a tiebreaking run in the sixth inning, and the Swallows edged the Giants 3-2 in Game 1 of the first stage of the Central League Climax Series on Saturday night at Jingu Stadium.

The Swallows are now one win away from knocking their crosstown rivals out of the postseason and moving on to face the CL champion Chunichi Dragons in the final stage.
"We're only halfway there," Miyamoto said. "We have to win one more against a tough Giants team to make it to the final stage, but I think we can do it tommorow."

Muranaka (1-0) entered the game in the sixth after the Swallows pinch-hit for starter Shohei Tateyama. The left-hander came through with 3⅔ innings of relief to earn the win. Muranaka gave up one run on two hits and struck out three.

12BET MLB News Update 10/28

 Cardinals, Rangers tied 7-7 after 9 innings

ST. LOUIS (AP)—With the St. Louis Cardinals down to their last strike, David Freese hit a two-run triple just over a leaping Nelson Cruz in right field with two outs in the ninth inning, tying Game 6 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers on Thursday night.
Adrian Beltre and Cruz hit consecutive home runs off Lance Lynn, and Ian Kinsler added an RBI single off Octavio Dotel as Texas built a 7-4 lead in the seventh.
Allen Craig’second homer of the Series cut the gap in the eighth against Derek Holland. Then in the ninth, Albert Pujols doubled with one out off Neftali Feliand Lance Berkman walked on four pitches.

 Craig took a called third strike, and Freese fell behind in the count 1-2. He sliced an opposite-field drive, and when Cruz jumped, the crowd of 47,315 at Busch Stadium couldn’t tell at first whether he caught it.

Feliz then retired Molina on a flyout to right, sending the game to extra innings.
With Texas ahead 3-2 in the Series and one win from its first title, the Rangers also wasted 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3 leads. The Cardinals made three errors in a Series game for the first time since 1943, and Rangers first baseman Michael Young made two, with each team allowing two unearned runs.
Matt Holliday  was picked off in the sixth at third base by catcher Mike Napoli(notes), thwarting the Cardinals’ attempt to go ahead, and he had to leave the game because of a bruised right pinkie.
Josh Hamilton’s  RBI single had put the Rangers ahead in the first off Jaime Garcia, Berkman’s two-run homer gave the Cardinals the lead in the bottom half and Kinsler’s run-scoring double tied it 2-all in the third.

STL Cardinals vs TEX Rangers MLB 12BET 10/28 8:05AM GMT+8

Jaime Garcia of the St. Louis Cardinals pitched seven scoreless innings in Game 2 of the World Series against one of the best hitting teams in baseball. The Cardinals will be counting on him to match that effort in Game 6 to keep their hopes alive to extend the World Series.


Garcia allowed just three hits, but received no decision in a game the Cardinals lost. St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa said Game 2 was a major step for Garcia. LaRussa said, according to MLB.com, "He's done that for us a bunch of times his first two years, but considering this situation, that's huge for us and for him."

Time reports that miscommunication or Texas crowd noise worked against LaRussa in the eighth inning Monday night. With the game tied 2-2, La Russa called to his bullpen to request that left-hander Marc Rzepczynski, and righty Jason Motte warm up. St. Louis bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist did not hear the call for Motte.

When right-handed hitting Texas catcher Mike Napoli came to the plate with the bases loaded, Napoli hit a bases-loaded double off Rzepczynski, instead of Motte, that drove in the deciding runs.

 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Mitch Moreland and Adrian Beltre hit solo home runs off Chris Carpenter, pulling the Texas Rangers into a 2-2 tie with the St. Louis Cardinals in World Series Game 5 on Monday night.Trying to head home with a three-games-to-two lead, the Cardinals went ahead 2-0 in the second off a wild C.J. Wilson as Yadier Molina and Skip Schumaker drove in runs, but St. Louis was just 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven runners.Carpenter, who beat Wilson in last week's opener, allowed six hits, struck out three and walked one as he tried to improve to 9-2 in his postseason career.
Moreland, in a 2-for-23 postseason slide, homered nearly halfway up the right-field second deck in the third inning. Beltre, 8 for 20 (.400) in the Series, sent a hanging breaking ball over the left-center field fence in the sixth.
 Wilson avoided becoming the first pitcher to lose four games in a single postseason, giving up two runs - one earned - four hits and five walks in 5 1-3 innings. He threw just 57 of 108 pitches for strikes, went to three 3-0 counts (not including a pair of intentional walks to Albert Pujols) and walked 11 in his two Series starts. His 19 walks in a single postseason matched Jaret Wright's record from 1997.Wilson's 11 walks were the most since Allie Reynolds had 11 for the 1951 Yankees, according to STATS LLC.

TEX Rangers vs STL Cardinals MLB Game 5 12BET Prediction 8:05AM GMT+8

 The 99-77 St. Louis Cardinals jumped out to a 5-0 lead in Game Three en route to a resounding 16-7 win over the 104-71 Texas Rangers to move ahead in the World Series under the bright lights in Arlington.

Allen Craig homered in the first run of the game during the top of the first for St. Louis who struck again during the top of the fourth with David Freese's RBI double triggering a four-run inning. The Cardinals scored two more on Jon Jay's fielder's choice while Ryan Theriot knocked in Yadier Molina to make it 5-0 visitors. Texas tallied their first three runs during the bottom of the fourth on two longballs by Michael Young and Nelson Cruz.

Freese and Molina knocked in the next three runs for St. Louis who led 8-3 heading to the bottom of the fifth where the Rangers added three more runs to once again pull within two. Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli drove in three Texas base runners, but the Cardinals were back at it during the top of the sixth with Albert Pujols going yard along with Molina's sacrifice fly elevating St. Louis' lead to 12-6. Pujols' two-run jack an inning later made it 14-6 bad guys as the Rangers returned to the scoreboard during the seventh with Napoli's sac fly. Molina's RBI double made things worse for Texas during the top of the eighth while Pujols' third homer of the night during the ninth was the final blood drawn for the Cardinals who have a 2-1 World Series lead heading into Game Four.

STL Cardinals[N/A] VS TEX Rangers[N/A] MLB 10/23 12BET tip 8AM(GMT+8)


St. Louis was unable to hold a 1-0 ninth-inning lead Thursday night and now travel off to Texas for three games.  Both teams will be looking to get their offenses going in the warmer weather of the Lone Star State, as the Cardinals are hitting .203, while the Rangers are batting only .186.  All eyes will be focused on how first baseman Albert Pujols reacts to criticism following Game 2, as many feel that a defensive play that he was unable to make cost the team a potential win.  St. Louis is 21-22 versus left-handed starters this year and the ‘over’ is 23-19 in those contests.

Texas is ready to play in front of its home crowd and play just the fourth World Series home game in franchise history.  “It’s going to be crazy, just crazy,” commented Rangers infielder Michael Young.  “I’ve played in the postseason in Yankee Stadium and I’ve played in Detroit and now St. Louis.  This is the loudest I’ve ever played in front of.”  The Rangers and Cardinals, who both ranked among the majors’ top 5 in runs scored, have combined for a total of eight runs in the first two games.  Texas is 77-46 versus right-handed starters and 57-29 when playing at home. - http://www.madduxsports.com

OSAKA — Outgoing Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters manager Masataka Nashida is at the top of the Hanshin Tigers' wish list should the Central League team seek to hire its new skipper from outside the club, a source speaking on condition of anonymity told Kyodo News on Monday.

The 58-year-old Nashida, whose departure from Nippon Ham at the end of the season has already been announced, succeeded Trey Hillman in 2008 and led the Fighters to the Pacific League pennant the following year.

The Fighters are again in the playoffs this season, having secured second place behind the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.
In related news, the Fighters have narrowed down their choice of candidates to take over as new manager to former Tokyo Yakult Swallows outfielder and sports analyst Hideki Kuriyama, team sources said on Monday.
The Fighters will make a formal offer to Kuriyama, 50, at the conclusion of the 2011 season.
'"All I can say is, I will think it over when a formal offer is made to me," said Kuriyama, who is currently also a professor of business at Hakuoh University in Oyama, Tochigi Prefecture.

12BET TIP: Japanese Baseball-Central League 10/18 5PM(GMT+8)


Dicky Gonzalez had just gotten a subpar year back on track when he went down on Aug. 24 with a right calf strain that some thought could keep him out for the rest of the regular season.

Dicky Gonzalez has thrown 14 scoreless innings since returning from a calf injury earlier this month.
Not only did the Yomiuri Giants pitcher prove those fears to be unfounded, the right-hander looks like he hasn't missed a beat.

Gonzalez (3-3, 3.48 ERA) has resembled his old self since returning to the Giants rotation this month, which has to put a smile on manager Tatsunori Hara's face.

Gonzalez made an emphatic return on Oct. 9, tossing seven one-hit innings against the Chunichi Dragons at Nagoya Dome.

He delivered an encore on Saturday, denying the Dragons a chance to wrap up the league title with seven more innings of one-hit ball at Tokyo Dome.

In all, Gonzalez threw 14 innings against the probable Central League champions over the past two weeks and allowed no runs, two hits and just four baserunners. - http://search.japantimes.co.jp

12BET Tip Yomiuri Giants vs Chunichi Dragons 10/16 GMT+8

The Chunichi Dragons may eventually celebrate winning the Central League pennant at the Yomiuri Giants' home stadium, but it won't be on Hirokazu Sawamura's watch.

Yomiuri's rookie hurler overcame a shaky start, and the Giants had a big day at the plate to beat the Dragons 7-2 on Friday at Tokyo Dome.
"I gave up a run in the first inning but was able to relax after my offense scored some runs for me," Sawamura said. "I felt good pitching during the latter part of the game."
Sawamura went the distance on 103 pitches, allowing two runs on six hits and striking out seven to win his fifth straight decision. He improved to 11-11 and maintained an ERA of 1.97 in what was likely his final start of the regular season.
"I have to feel good about my season," Sawamura said. "I was able to avoid finishing with a losing record and my ERA was good. So I have to be happy with my performance."
Chunichi arrived in Tokyo with a five-game winning streak and a magic number of two to clinch the league title. The Dragons could've wrapped things up with a win or tie and a loss by the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.
The Swallows' loss to the Hanshin Tigers meant the Dragons managed to lower their magic number to one despite the loss. Chunichi can clinch the league title with a win over the Giants on Saturday or if the Swallows lose to the Yokohama BayStars.
