A few days ago, it looked like Chatham might have to hold off Brewster for the final playoff spot in the East. The Anglers did that — and didn’t stop there. With Orleans cooling down, Chatham moved within striking distance of third place and then seized it by beating the [...]
Some quick hitters today as we head into the regular season finale… Hyannis lefty Sean Manaea pulled off a rare sweep in official Cape Cod Baseball League awards, taking home both the B.F.C. Whitehouse Top Pitcher Award and Robert A. McNeece Outstanding Pro Prospect Award. Neither is a surprise, but [...]
So many times this season, I’ve come home and checked scores, wondering if anything big happened. And so many times, something big did happen, from Phillip Ervin and Harwich hitting bombs to Sean Manaea striking everybody out to Cotuit winning again. The trend continued last night. Tyler Horan (Virginia Tech) [...]
In the record watch I posted the other day, I included Wareham’s Tyler Horan (Virginia Tech) and said that with a ridiculous finish, Horan could approach the Cape League’s wooden bat home run record. The ridiculous finish is happening. After hitting home runs in three consecutive games, Horan hit two [...]
Friday, August 3 was quite a day in the Cape Cod Baseball League. Harwich’s Eric Jagielo (Notre Dame) hit three home runs in a doubleheader as the Mariners set a new Cape League record. They now have 61 home runs. A few miles away in Brewster, Hyannis lefty Sean Manaea [...]
A lot will be sorted out in the playoff race over the next few days, but most of it will be about seeding and who’s playing whom. Unless Brewster gets hot and chases down Chatham in the East, though, the only battle for a final playoff spot will be in [...]
MVP awards are funny. Everybody has their own definition, their own qualifications for what an MVP should be. For some people, it’s just the best player. For others, the best player on the best team. And then there’s the concept of value. Sometimes, the best player is the most valuable [...]
It’s been a tough summer in Bourne, but the Braves have shown a flair for the dramatic all season. Even with the leading man in that drama — Mason Robbins — heading home, the Braves still put on a pretty good show last night. Trailing Orleans 4-3, they scored a [...]
Maybe they were inspired by the All-Star Game. A night after pitching dominated the Cape’s Mid-Summer Classic, the league jumped right back into regular-season action and pitchers dominated that, too. Falmouth’s Sean Hagan (St. John’s) had a no-hitter broken up in the ninth inning and settled for a complete game, [...]
In the power rankings the other day, I mentioned that Cotuit’s propensity for short outings from its starters was a little bit of a concern. I still think it’s an issue, but if anybody can handle the heavy workload, it might be the Cotuit bullpen. Even a 14-inning game wasn’t [...]
