On a rainy, chilly night in Beantown, a small crowd of 3,298 fans watched in embarrassment as the Philadelphia Athletics (18-9) thumped the Boston Americans (11-16) by a score of 7 to 0.

Buttons Briggs (4-2) picked up the victory, limiting the opposition to 7 hits and 1 walk in the 121 pitch shutout; Game Score of 74.

Ended the month the same way they started the month; an extra-innings loss. The Philadelphia Athletics (19-9) beat the Boston Americans (11-17) in 14 innings. The loss moved the Americans into 7th place in the American League standings.

Red Donahue (3-0) went the distance, throwing 180 pitches in the 14 inning victory. In the game, Donahue allowed 4 runs (2 earned) on 14 hits to finish with a Game Score of 74. Cy Young went 8 innings in which he allowed 4 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits, 2 walks, and 2 hit batsmen but left with a no decision; Game Score of 56. Boston turned to its bullpen, seeing Jose Ramos pitch 1 inning of scoreless ball (3 walks though), Al Orth having 2 innings of scoreless ball, and then Oscar Jones (0-1) taking the loss after allowing 2 runs (unearned) with 2 walks and 1 wild pitch in 3 innings of play.

The Philadelphia hitting-attach was led by George Davis (3 for 5, Triple, 1 Run, 2 RBIs, 2 Walks), John Titus (2 for 3, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 3 Walks), Honus Wagner (2 for 6, Triple, 2 Runs, 1 Walk, 1 Stolen Base), and Billy Maloney (2 for 7, Triple, 1 RBI). Boston relied on John Farrell (2 for 3, 1 RBI), Fred Clark (1 for 5, Double, 1 Run, 1 RBI), and Cy Young (2 for 2, Homerun, 1 Run, 1 RBI).

Selected 3rd overall in last year's draft, expectations were high for Mordecai Brown coming into the season. His first month in the big leagues is going according to plan, as the Philadelphia fireballer went 5-2 in 7 starts and posted a 2.14 ERA to take home American League Rookie of the Month honors. For the month, Brown had a .272 BABIP, 143 ERA+, 1.0 WPA, and 1.6 WAR.

The National League Rookie of the Month honors went to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Red Ames. Ames, the 2nd overall selection in the most recent draft, went 5-2 with a 1.57 ERA, .223 BABIP, 193 ERA+, and 1.8 WAR to take home the award.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Doc White picked up his 3rd American League Pitcher of the Month award in his young career. In earning the honor, White went 5-2 with a 1.43 ERA and 1.2 WAR for the month, and has helped position his team in 2nd place in the standings.

OmahaBaseball · 10-22-2023, 04:20 PM

Harry Howell has had an odd career arc so far. The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher has in one month equaled or surpassed pitching marks than what he had done in the prior two seasons combined. It is difficult to predict how is season will turn out, but for now Howell is riding his good fortunes. In earning the Pitcher of the Month award, Howell went 6-1 with 1.86 ERA and 1.3 WAR.

OmahaBaseball · 10-25-2023, 10:25 PM

Even though he has been floated on the trading block, Washington Senators outfielder Cy Seymour hasn't let it bother him yet. In taking home the American League Batter of the Month Award, Seymour batted .342 (39 for 114) with 6 Doubles, 6 Triples, 2 Homeruns, 21 Runs, 28 RBIs, and 4 Walks to finish with a slash line of .342/.367/.553 that resulted in a 171 OPS+, 1.47 WPA, and 1.8 WAR.

OmahaBaseball · 10-25-2023, 10:34 PM

Like his American League counterpart, Buck Freeman has had to deal with trading block rumors. Like his counterpart, Freeman brushed that aside to take home National League Batter of the Month honors. For the month, the Cincinnati Reds outfielder went 35 for 110 (.318 batting average) with 4 Doubles, 4 Triples, 5 Homeruns, 17 Runs, 22 RBIs, 7 Walks, and 2 Stolen Bases for a slash line of .318/.377/.564 for a 174 OPS+, 0.66 WPA, 180 wRC+, and 1.5 WAR. This was Freeman's first BofM award.

Boston Americans lead scout Dave Radovanvic reported out to the front office his April 1903 Player Development findings. Overall, it was disappointing to see several starters decrease in core areas including Noodles Hahn and Cy Young. It will be difficult for the team to rebound after the disappointing month if this continues.

OmahaBaseball · 10-26-2023, 09:36 PM

One month is in the books and some interesting things happening in the standings. The Philadelphia Athletics are off to a great start, leading the American League race with an MLB best 19-9 record. The Boston Americans (11-17) have been disappointing, and the Chicago White Sox (6-22) are just plain bad. The National League race has the St. Louis Cardinals (18-10) in the lead, though the Pirates (16-12) and Beaneaters (16-12) are in hot pursuit. The New York Giants (8-20) have a firm hold on last place.

OmahaBaseball · 10-27-2023, 09:08 AM

Not other way to say it, this was a terrible month for the Boston Americans. The finished the month on a 2-11 run, the players are not hitting the ball well, and the starting pitchers have been smacked around.

OmahaBaseball · 10-27-2023, 09:33 AM

Snapshot of April stats for the Boston Americans pitching staff. A few things to note: Noodles Hahn continues to be the anchor of the team, Cy Young is pitching respectably but starting to see hints that age is catching up; not sure what to make of Sam Leever as he is getting roughed-up. The bullpen has been strong so far.

OmahaBaseball · 10-27-2023, 09:51 AM

Not very many good-news stories with the Boston Americans hitting attack. A dramatic drop-off with the core players, with Chick Stahl, Dave Brain, and Kid Elberfeld struggling right now.

OmahaBaseball · 10-27-2023, 10:26 AM

A new month but same result; another loss! In a 12-inning battle, the Philadelphia Athletics (20-9) topped the Boston Americans (11-18) by a score of 5 to 1. The only thing keeping the Americans out of last place in the American League standings is the fact that the Chicago White Sox (6-23) are having a truly horrific season.

Mordecai Brown (6-2) picked up the victory, allowing just 1 earned run on 9 hits and 3 walks on the complete game (159 pitches) effort; Game Score of 81. Noodles Hahn (4-4) was tagged with the loss, allowing 5 earned runs on 8 hits, 4 walks, and 1 wild pitch; Game Score of 65.

Hitting production for Philadelphia came from Larry McLean (1 for 3, 1 RBI), John Titus (1 for 6, Homerun, 1 Run, 3 RBIs), and Tommy Corcoran (1 for 2, 1 Walk). Boston's offense came from Jiggs Donahue (2 for 5, 1 Stolen Base) and Homer Smoot (2 for 4, 1 Run, 1 Stolen Base).

Well it took 14-innings but the Boston Americans (12-18) picked up the hard fought win over the Chicago White Sox (6-24) by a 2 to 1 score.

Sam Leever (3-4) pitched remarkably well, allowing just 1 earned run on 6 hits and 5 walks for a complete game (211 total pitches -- YIKES) win; Game Score of 97. Fred Glade (0-8) remained winless on the season despite pitching his best game of the year, allowing 2 earned runs on 7 hits and 2 walks; Game Score of 93.

At the plate, the Americans were led by John Farrell (1 for 3, Triple, 1 RBI) and Ossee Schreckengost (1 for 2, 1 RBI), while Chicago was led by Harry "Deer Foot" Bay (2 for 6, Homerun, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 Stolen Base).

Player of the Game: Sam Leever (Season: #2 / Career: #24)

While the defense was sloppy with 3 errors, the Boston Americans (13-18) outlasted the Chicago White Sox (6-25) to take the victory by a score of 3 to 2.

Picking up the win for the Americans was Jesse Tannehill (3-5) who limited the opposition to 2 runs (0 earned) on 7 hits, striking out 4 to finish with a Game Score of 73. Bill Phillips (1-2) was tagged with the loss after allowing 3 earned runs on 7 hits and 4 walks; Game Score 58.

This is the 2nd time that Kelley has earned PofW honors.

OmahaBaseball · 10-29-2023, 05:32 PM

One of the few bright spots with the Boston American's this season has been the timely hitting of 2nd baseman John Farrell. In picking up the American League Player of the Week award, Farrell batted .579 (11 for 19) with 1 Double, 1 Triple, 3 Runs, 2 RBIs, and 1 Walk to finish with a slash line of .579/.600/.737 which was good for a 291 OPS+ and 0.5 WAR.

The Chicago White Sox (7-25) held off a late push by the Boston Americans (13-19) to pick up the 3 to 2 victory.

Chicago pitcher Bill Carrick (2-5) had a solid outing, allowing 2 earned runs on 7 hits to finish with a Game Score of 68. Cy Young was tagged with the loss after allowing 3 earned runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings of play; Game Score of 45. Jose Ramos pitched a scoreless final inning in relief.
