00:00 Today in Entre Líneas, our opener will review the most outstanding players of the month of August, especially for their offensive.
00:09 In the history we will also know which was the first Japanese player to play in the majors, and the pirates made history at some point with their alignment.
00:19 The versus will have a very interesting confrontation, two friends and rivals at the same time on the field, Manny Machado and Bry Harper.
00:28 And as always, in our closing, statistics and much more, all this begins at once, Entre Líneas.
00:53 Hello friends, welcome to this edition of Entre Líneas, we will be giving a lot of information around the world of baseball.
01:00 And we are going to start at once, we do not get into the subject, in our opener.
01:04 And it is that in the month of August, a recently finished month, there were players who marked the agenda in the offensive plane.
01:10 And it is not a coincidence that several of those names and several productions that we saw in those players,
01:18 are related to the offensive increase of the team in general and teams that are involved in the postseason.
01:25 But we are going to start with Julio Rodríguez, the Seattle Mariners player, he left behind some really problematic months.
01:33 Without a ruthless offensive, offensive, he started the month of August with just 251 on average, but then he began to beat.
01:43 And how so? So much so that his month of August closed with 286, an increase of 35 points in 23 games.
01:52 In addition, in 5 of those challenges, he gave 4 or more unstoppable and was involved in a historical streak,
01:59 where he connected 17 hits in 4 collection challenges this month of August.
02:06 And beyond those numbers, we go to his global line, 429 was his average, he scored 19 races,
02:15 boosted 30, shook 7 quadrangles, added 10 doubles, 11 stolen bases, in total there were 45 unstoppable,
02:25 his new EP of 474, a slugging of 724 and a 1,198 OPS, that is why the Mariners are in contention in the west of the American League.
02:38 But we can move on to the other side, and that is the case of Mookie Becks.
02:42 We are talking about the National League and this player also had an exorbitant August,
02:47 but it is that Mookie Becks, unlike Julio Rodríguez, he was already knocking on the door and saying,
02:52 "This is my month, the big month to get my team in the contest and him too in that fight for the most valuable in the National League."
03:00 It started a little slow, but between June and July, the best was for Mookie Becks,
03:05 offensively speaking, he was already telling us what he could produce.
03:08 But in August he did not leave anyone, the Doyers took advantage of it and took a great advantage in the west of the National League.
03:15 Mookie Becks performed and started in August with an average of 277 and closed with 316, which is the same.
03:22 He increased 39 points during the penultimate month of the regular round.
03:27 In total, 455 on average, 51 unstoppable, 30 races promoted, 11 horn runs, 10 doubles,
03:37 OVP of 516, a slugging of 839 and an OPS of 355.
03:45 Mookie Becks, undoubtedly the most outstanding player of the month of August in the National League.
03:50 Another one who woke up and had a great production was Marcelo Zuna,
03:54 with these Atlanta Braves that they have to choose, for all tastes.
03:58 And it is that you have to give credit also to the organization of the Atlanta Braves,
04:02 who had patience with this player. Remember what his start in the campaign was.
04:07 Barely 0.91 in April.
04:09 Then his average did not exceed 200-250.
04:14 In May, 297, he said, "I can wake up there."
04:18 But then he would fall again in a terrible lethargy in July with 209.
04:23 But it was an August of redemption for Marcelo Zuna.
04:26 359 on average, in total he took 9 balls from the park, 9 doubles, 23 races noted, 25 promoted,
04:36 37 hits in total, 431 on average, 1 OPS of 1140 and a slugging of 709.
04:45 That was done by Marcelo Zuna with the Atlanta Braves, with these Braves, which is already a playoff team.
04:51 We are now going to a team in contest, the Philadelphia Phillies.
04:55 Yes, there are several names, several outstanding players, but they were waiting for the resurgence of Trea Turner.
05:00 Yes, the one who in the world classic past led and practically dragged the United States team to the grand final.
05:08 And it is that Philadelphia had its production and at the best moment has begun to give those hits.
05:14 Turner lit up and now this line-up of the Phillies puts much more fear than what in principle
05:20 was already a fearsome line-up.
05:23 In August, 324, he also took 9 balls, 9 doubles, 26 promoted races, 23 notes, 1 OPS of 1044 and a slugging of 676.
05:37 That in what concerns Trea Turner, who leads these Philadelphia Phillies today to be at the top
05:43 in that fight between the national league's commodores.
05:46 We could mention other cases, other players who managed to hit and managed to have a very good month.
05:52 The case of Freddie Freeman with the Doers of Los Angeles, 375 in August with 427 OVP, 16 doubles too.
06:01 Teoscar Hernández with those Mariners, those inspired Mariners of Seattle, who left an average of 365, 396 OVP and 654 slugging.
06:13 In short, we speak that already at this end of the campaign is the month of men, of the production of those players
06:21 who can carry with their team, way to the playoffs and to the postseason.
06:26 As you saw, each of these players is today involved in the classification or are there very close to that goal.
06:34 That's why these players, many of them earn a lot of money, they give them very good contracts because they know
06:40 that at the right time they will appear and they will lead to the safe harbor, in this case to the postseason.
06:48 Interesting way to open our program today, our opener today with the most outstanding strikers and hitters
06:54 of the penultimate month of regular season.
06:57 Good time to review today's trivia, a pitching trivia.
07:03 Which is the team with the most Nojik No Run games in the history of the baseball of the great leagues?
07:10 See these historical names for others. Boston's Red Sox, Los Angeles' Doers, the Giants as a franchise or the Chicago's White Sox.
07:20 So we repeat, Boston, the Red Sox, the Doers, the Giants or the White Sox.
07:26 Which of these teams or which team has the most Nojik No Runs?
07:31 Pitched is our trivia in today's program.
07:34 Here we are back with much more between the lines.
07:44 The time has come to enter our press room and review news and updated information
07:50 from the world of the great leagues.
07:52 And we are going to start with the Doers of Los Angeles because the manager Dave Roberts
07:56 said Walker Bearly will be this Sunday in AAA starting his rehabilitation program.
08:02 What is this final part of the recovery.
08:05 That day he will launch a couple of entries.
08:08 Roberts also mentioned that he would need maybe three more exits before joining the big team.
08:14 There is no need to risk. The Doers are very close to entering the playoffs again.
08:20 And Walker Bearly recovers from an operation.
08:23 There is no need to speed up processes, but that is good news for the Doers of Los Angeles.
08:28 We are going to San Diego because Hugh Darvish is dealing with a bone sprain in the right elbow.
08:34 San Diego's parents' manager Bob Melvin reported that there is a possibility
08:39 that he will be back in the season.
08:41 If San Diego still has a chance to qualify in two weeks, that possibility would increase.
08:46 The left-back Robert Suarez, also inside San Diego, withdrew his appeal for the suspension
08:51 of ten games for the use of a strange and illegal substance.
08:55 In this case, since yesterday, his process and his sanction began.
08:59 We repeat that it is ten games.
09:02 We move on to the Reds of Cincinnati because they took via waivers Harrison Bader
09:07 from the Yankees of New York and also Hunter Renfrod from the Los Angeles Angels.
09:13 They acquire a little more experience for their roster.
09:17 A very young roster for a team that, in addition, some say has been surprised
09:22 to be still fighting to enter the postseason.
09:25 This is regarding Cincinnati.
09:27 And we also have Nick Lodolo who will not launch in this 2023.
09:31 The left-back suffered a setback in the recovery in AAA.
09:35 He has a reaction to the stress in the left tibia.
09:39 He suffered, remember, a discomfort in rehabilitation and the Reds prefer to wait
09:43 for the necessary time to be 100% recovered and be back at the top in 2024.
09:51 We move on to the Clivellan Guardians.
09:54 And it was a very active day for these teams, collecting players from the waivers list.
09:59 And it is that the Guardians, in this case, took the right to Reinaldo López
10:04 and also to Lucas Yolito from the Los Angeles Angels.
10:08 The Californian team made them available and it was Clivellan who was interested
10:13 in his battle with Minnesota in the Central Division of the American League.
10:18 Although Yolito had not been well at all, he had gone through a complicated stage
10:25 of ineffectiveness in the mound.
10:27 We repeat, there he also has experience and will add an additional arm.
10:32 It is a very interesting push that will be presented for the end of the campaign
10:36 between Minnesota and the Guardians in the fight to win the division,
10:41 which is the only way to reach the postseason in the Central Division of the American League.
10:46 A division that is not compared to the East, much less.
10:51 A very deficient division with teams playing below 500 and long
10:58 and that some of those teams seem to have a very long recovery process.
11:04 And one day like today, in 1931, Lugueri connects his third Grand Slam in four days
11:13 and sixth home run in consecutive games.
11:16 He did it in the 5-1 victory of the Yankees over the Boston Red Sox.
11:23 In 1964, just like today, the relegation of the San Francisco Giants,
11:31 Masanori Murakami, becomes the first born in Japan to play in the major leagues.
11:38 The native of Ozuki launched a white inning in his debut during the defeat of the Giants
11:44 4-1 over the New York Mets.
11:48 And just like today, in 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates present what is considered
11:55 the first complete line-up of colored players, including several Latin American players,
12:02 all this in the history of the majors.
12:05 Pirates defeated the Phillies of Philadelphia 10 races by 7.
12:09 Among other players in that lineup stand out Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell.
12:16 [Music]
12:27 [Music]
12:34 And our versus today will have two players from the same generation face to face.
12:39 Two players who still have a long way to go and we hope the injuries can respect it,
12:45 especially in the case of Bry Harper.
12:47 And it is Bry Harper who is now with the Philadelphia Phillies,
12:50 is involved in a very interesting fight for the classification.
12:54 And on the other side, Manny Machado, the San Diego Padres' player,
12:58 in a more complicated, complex dispute, the current situation for Machado.
13:03 But two races that began at the same time.
13:06 Two contemporary players from all points of view.
13:09 Two players who, although they do not occupy the same position in the field of play,
13:14 they keep some similar characteristics.
13:17 Yes, the injuries have been Harper's main enemy throughout his career,
13:21 wasting a lot of game time to the point that today Harper has seen his work in the outfield,
13:27 in the gardens, has been diminishing to the point of also placing him to play in the inside box
13:32 to try to extend his effective time on the field of play.
13:36 When we compare these two elements, or these two players,
13:39 we can observe very similar numbers in some lines.
13:43 For example, Bry Harper has just reached 300 square meters.
13:48 Compared to Manny Machado, Machado has connected 308.
13:53 But there is also an interesting sample, and it is the number of games disputed.
13:57 Machado has been able to play almost 100 more games than Harper himself.
14:02 We repeat, we are talking about two races that have had injuries, but mainly for Harper.
14:08 In drives, there is also an important advantage for the San Diego Padres' football team,
14:13 with 931 against 872.
14:17 But notice here, which is a very interesting number to consider,
14:22 and it has to do with the percentage of bases.
14:26 The percentage of bases of Harper is 390, and 339, that of Machado.
14:33 Here, the number of bases per ball that Harper receives plays a predominant role.
14:39 Harper, in his career, is already on his way to 1,000 or 1,000 tickets received.
14:44 He has 935, 558, presents and hosts the San Diego Padres' football team.
14:51 In those first 12 campaigns, Manny Machado also managed to become a very interesting figure,
15:00 desired and coveted by many, his super contract also for Machado.
15:04 And Harper also added a great contract in his 13-year time,
15:08 and 330 million dollars, nothing more.
15:13 Harper was the Novato of the Year in 2012, for that time the youngest Novato,
15:18 or the most valuable, because he was also the most valuable player in 2015,
15:23 for a time when he was the youngest to win that award.
15:26 He was champion of the 2018 Derby of Gonrones.
15:29 Many spoke of Harper as one of those players with the five tools,
15:33 a player who could bat for power, who could bat for average,
15:38 a good runner of the pads, beyond his good defense.
15:42 In the outfield, 129 bases stolen against 88 from Machado.
15:47 Harper also has an advantage there, but he has been limited to running so many pads
15:53 due to physical problems.
15:56 Other elements to consider of Bryce Harper himself,
15:59 he was a leader in Gonrones in a campaign, a leader in OBP in a Safra and Slugging,
16:04 and OPS twice, achieved a leadership of scores and another of doubles,
16:08 and also in 2015 he was a leader in the World Range.
16:12 Two silver bats for Harper, Novato of the Year we said it,
16:15 seven times the game of the stars.
16:18 Manny Machado, in his 12 campaigns, 6 star games, 2 gold gloves,
16:23 a silver bat, although he has not won the MVP, it must be said,
16:27 he has been there, rounding, he has been in the vote,
16:31 in one opportunity he was second, in another third, fourth, fifth and ninth.
16:36 He was in a season leader in doubles with 51,
16:39 6 campaigns of 30 or more corangulares for Machado,
16:42 in 2023 he already exceeded the barrier of 20 and is on his way to 30.
16:48 Interesting the contrast that we can see between these players.
16:52 Another point, subjective perhaps, between both,
16:55 has to do with the influence they exert on their teams.
16:58 Since Harper arrived, the Phillies of Philadelphia,
17:01 from the Nationals of Washington, it has been said that he has played many times with pain,
17:06 that he has managed to cause a direct impact with his teammates,
17:09 due to that great demonstration of self-love and wanting to take the team to the postseason,
17:16 and leave even the individual numbers or the teams above the individuals above.
17:23 Something that some consider, Manni Machado,
17:26 seems to have not that same ascendancy, beyond being a leader within the field of play.
17:34 So, interesting that Harper, we reiterate, today with the Phillies of Philadelphia,
17:40 seems to have been more in tune with the fans, a player who has everything to continue
17:47 to pave his way towards the most outstanding award,
17:52 which is the entrance to the Hall of Fame for any player, but still has to travel a lot.
17:57 Harper is practically like Manni Machado himself, who also has numbers to consider,
18:02 they are practically halfway through the tour, with great contracts that support them,
18:07 that gives them that boost to be able to continue, and we hope, as we said before,
18:12 that the injuries can respect them from here to the end.
18:16 Harper, Machado, who is left?
18:18 I think that Brian Harper today has a small advantage, but an advantage, anyway,
18:23 over the San Diego Padres' player.
