    BLOCKBUSTER BETWEEN PHILLY AND BOSTON
    WILLIAMS TO BOSTON, JONES TO PHILLY


    In a somewhat surprising move the Red Sox have moved 25 year old ace caliber pitcher Sam Jones (88/93), along with Weldon Wyckoff (86), Hack Miller (75/78), and $15,000 dollars to Philadelphia. In return the Red Sox receive the Phillies CF Cy Williams (88), SS Dave Bancroft (84), and LF Irish Meusel (75).

    This is a very, very good deal for us. We get another power threat in Cy Williams and his 9 home runs, a massive upgrade at shortstop with Bancroft, and it deepens our bench with Meusel, as well as pushing Amos Strunk to the bench because Williams will now be starting in CF. This trade gives us possibly the best middle of the line-up around, with a 3-4-5 of Williams-Ruth-Baker combining for 35 home runs so far on the season.

    I also find it to be a good deal for the Phillies. They are in a rebuilding mode at 36-46, and Jones and Wyckoff are both young and give them a solid core of pitchers to build around. While Williams, on the other hand, is 30 years old and of no use to a team like the Phillies. They also get a substantial amount of money (half what we had to play with), to push their cash reserve to over $60,000.

    This does mean some roster changes for us. In place of Sam Jones as the #5 SP will be recently drafted Syl Johnson (75/91), and called up for Wyckoff will be lefty Walt Kinney (80/83). Additional call-ups send downs as a result of this include reliever Dave Black (79) for Jean Dubuc (82), and Cy Williams and Irish Meusel will be taking the place of Heinie Wagner (57) and Del Gainer (67).

    RED SOX RECAP
    JULY 1918



    Games of Note:

    July 4; Indians take three of four in Boston to reclaim Pennant Lead - The Indians issued a 13-8 smack down in the final game of a four game series to take three games in the series and the Pennant. Tris Speaker scored four runs for the Indians in their win.

    July 9; Red Sox beat Yankees 3-1 to retake First - Dutch Leonard gave us a beautiful complete game, allowing just one run and striking out four on 98 pitches, to help us to the win. Cy Williams also went 2-4 in the win that helped us retake first place in the AL.

    July 13; New Red Sox combine to drive in seven in 13-3 Boston Win - The two new additions of Dave Bancroft and Cy Williams combined to drive in seven runs in this 13-3 win over the A's. The win also marks our eighth in a row and gives us a 2 game lead over the White Sox in the American League.

    July 17; Indians destroy Red Sox.....Again - On the 15th they brought our winning streak to an end at nine games, and then they sweep the series by winning on the sixteenth and today on the 17th as well. The sweep puts us into a tie for first with them.

    July 26; Red Sox smack Senators 13-2 - We win big over the Senators to stay tied with the Indians in the American League. Ruth hit his 22nd home run of the season in the game, but Cy Williams and Carl Mays each drove in three runs. Carl Mays also went all nine innings and allowed just two unearned runs on eight hits.

    Thoughts:

    17-11 is always good, but for some reason we're finding it virtually impossible to beat the Indians. We were 1-6 against them this month, and for the season we're roughly 3-10 against them. This is obviously a problem as they're one of the main contenders for the AL Pennant, along with the White Sox. Regardless, we enter August at 1 1/2 games back of the AL Pennant lead.

    Cy hasn't been providing the power I was hoping for when I acquired him, but he does have 20 RBI's in 23 games, in spite of a .273/.336/.364 line. Bancroft has been great in 23 games. He's got 11 RBI's and a line of .392/.482/.495.

    July MVP
    LF BABE RUTH

    He didn't hit as many home runs as he did in some previous months (only four this month). But that didn't stop him from driving in 20 runs and slugging near .600 in July. He also hit a tick below .400 for the month and got on base at a .534 clip. His totals now stand at 23 homers and 98 RBI's, both first in all of baseball, and his .373 batting average places him 3rd in the AL, approximately 20 points behind Detroit's Ty Cobb.



    July Cy Young
    SP CARL MAYS

    Mays was brilliant in July, going 6-1 in seven starts. He also put up an ERA of 2.86 in roughly sixty innings pitched and struck out 20 opposing batters. His 14 seasons wins are also good for first in the American League, by one over teammate Herb Pennock, and his 197 IP are also first in the AL, by eight over Pennock.

    RED SOX RECAP
    AUGUST 1918



    Games of Note:

    August 3; Sox win 12-3 on Williams 6 RBI's - We won the game 12-3 with a great deal of help from center fielder Cy Williams. Williams was 5-6 with his 11th home run of the season, a triple, three runs, and SIX runs driven in. Ruth also hit his 24th home run of the season, and Mays went all nine innings and allowed just three runs on 11 hits.

    August 11; Red Sox defeat Yanks 12-0 - Joe Bush pitches a complete game shutout, and Ruth hits home run #27 and drives in four runs in the win. Bancroft also homered and drove in fou runs, as well as hitting his 25th double.

    August 22; Sox earn series split with Indians - We earn a series split with the Indians, thanks in large part to a complete game, three-run effort by Dutch Leonard, and Babe Ruth's 30th home run of the season. The win keeps us at three games back for the AL Pennant.

    August 31; Red Sox beat Browns 8-0 to pull within 1 - Thanks to a complete game shutout by Dutch Leonard, we win this game 8-0. Schang and Baker each homered, and Baker, Ruth, and Evertt Scott all drove in two runs in the win, which brought us to within a game of first place in the American League with just a month to play.

    Thoughts:

    We went 19-9 for the month, but due to our continued failure to beat the Indians, we remain one game back with only 19 games to play. Obviously we can make up one game and more in 19 games, but if we don't play well in this final month and at least remain competitive, I might just end up with an ulcer.

    August MVP
    LF BABE RUTH

    Was there any doubt? 31 home runs, 117 RBI's, 113 walks, a line of .372/.493/.658 and still 19 games to play? Those numbers are pretty otherworldly, especially when you take into account the era we're playing in here.



    August Cy Young
    SP JOE BUSH

    Bush has been our most consistent pitcher all year. His 3.27 ERA is first on the team. His 228 innings are third, and they would be even higher if he hadn't missed a few starts earlier in the year. He went 3-1 for the month and posted a 1.70 ERA while striking out 12 batters. An honorable mention goes out to Dutch Leonard who put up a 3.38 with 2 wins and 0 losses.

    RED SOX RECAP
    SEPTEMBER 1918



    Games of Note:

    September 11; 3-2 loss at Senators leaves Boston 3 back - This three to two loss (which can be attributed in large part to the three errors we made) leaves us three games back of the Indians. With just ten games left in the season this lost is devestating, and basically means we have to win out in order to win the Pennant.

    September 14; Shellacking against Yankees win pulls Boston to within Two - This 18-5 win, which saw Schang, Ruth, Baker, and McInnins all drive in three runs, brought us to within two games of the Indians for the Pennant. With only seven games remaining it's all or nothing at this point.

    September 20; 7-4 loss at A's eliminates gives Indians Pennant - We were down three games with only three to play, which meant we needed to win out and the Indians needed to lose out in order for us to make it. And unfortunately neither of those things happened. We did all we could, but it just wasn't quite enough.

    Thoughts:

    Damn! I really thought we had a good chance when we were only a couple games back after sweeping the Yankees, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. We had too many injuries down the stretch (Baker, Williams, and Bancroft all missed time in September with injuries) and not enough time to deal with them I suppose. 94-60 is still a successful season however, and it's definitely something we can build on for next season. If we bring in a second baseman that's capable of slugging higher than the .317 Barry did this season I think we've got a great shot at the Pennant next season.

    I'm giving the season MVP and Cy Young there own post, so nothing down here this time.

    Re: Red Sox Memoirs - 1918 Red Sox and On

    Season MVP
    LF BABE RUTH

    Shouldn't be any surprise since the guys probably the league MVP as well. His 34 home runs are a single season record, as are his 138 RBI's. He really, really carried the team all season. In September when we really needed to win some games to even have a chance at the Pennant he was great, hitting at a .301/.414/.507 clip, with three homers and 21 RBI's.



    Season Cy Young
    SP JOE BUSH

    It was hard to not give this to Carl Mays and his 21 wins, but Bush was the better pitcher throughout the course of the season. He led the team in ERA at 3.20, and strikeouts with 107. He also finished second in wins with 19 and innings pitched with 267 even. In September he was 4-1 with a 2.79 ERA in about 39 innings pitched.

    1918 WORLD SERIES
    ST. LOUIS CARDINALS vs. CLEVELAND INDIANS
    (89-66) (99-55)


    Game 1:

    HTML Code:
                         1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +  R  H  E
         Cardinals (STL) 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0    2  8  4
           Indians (CLE) 0 0 3 1 2 0 3 2 x   11 15  1
    The Indians win the first game of the series due in large part to the efforts of Smokey Joe Wood, who went all nine innings and allowed only two unearned runs. Bill Wambsganss drives in three for the Indians in the win as well.

    Players of the Game:

    HTML Code:
           CLEVELAND   ip  h bb hr  r er  k pit    ERA
             J. Wood  9.0  8  2  0  2  0  3 117   2.71

         Cardinals (STL) 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 1  5  9  1
           Indians (CLE) 0 0 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 0  4 13  2
    The Cardinals manage to come back and win Game 2 due to a 3-5 two RBI day by Hornsby, and some solid work out of the 'pen by Earl Howard and George Scott.

    HTML Code:
           ST. LOUIS   ip  h bb hr  r er  k pit    ERA

    ST. LOUIS            ab  h bb  r hr bi  k sb     avg
    R. Hornsby (SS)       5  3  0  1  0  2  0  0    .338
    =============================================



    Game 3:

    HTML Code:
                         1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +  R  H  E

         Cardinals (STL) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0    2  6  1
    Bob Groom helps the Indians to the Game 3 win with a complete game two-earned run performance. Tris Speaker helps out at the plate by going 3-5 with three RBI's.

    Players of the Game:

    HTML Code:
           CLEVELAND   ip  h bb hr  r er  k pit    ERA
            B. Groom  9.0  6  2  0  2  2  7 113   4.16
    
    CLEVELAND            ab  h bb  r hr bi  k sb     avg
    T. Speaker (CF)       5  2  0  0  0  3  0  0    .329
    =============================================



    Game 4:

    HTML Code:
                         1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +  R  H  E

         Cardinals (STL) 0 2 0 0 0 3 0 1 x    6 13  1
    The Card's even up the series at two games a piece with the Game 4 win. And this time they have Red Smyth's three RBI's to thank, and Lee Meadows nine innings of two-run ball.

           ST. LOUIS   ip  h bb hr  r er  k pit    ERA
          L. Meadows  9.0  7  1  0  2  1  3 113   2.70

    R. Smyth (LF)         3  1  0  1  1  3  1  1    .274

    Feel free to post guesses on who ends up winning the series. You've got a 50/50 chance, and if you get it right I'll let you make a prospect for next year's draft. I'll post the conclusion of the series tomorrow, probably a little bit after noonish.
