ddle of the postseason race and may be without starting pitcher Sean Manaea for the remainder of the 2018 season.According to Jane Lee of MLB.com http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , Manaea was "shut down indefinitely" after it was discovered he has rotator cuff tendinitis. Oakland hasn'truled out a 2018 return, but Lee cautioned there is "a chance" he won't pitch again for the rest of the campaign. The southpaw has been a steady source of production in Oakland's starting rotation this year and has a 3.59 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 108 strikeouts in 27 starts. The ERA and WHIP totals would both be career-bests, and he just allowed zero earned runs in five innings in a Friday victory over the Minnesota Twins in his most recent start.While the Athletics still have Mike Fiers, Trevor Cahill and Edwin Jackson, this is another blow to their starting rotation.Julian McWilliamsof The Athletic reported on Tuesday Brett Anderson was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a forearm strain.Don't expect any moves, though, asKen Rosenthalof The Athletic reported the team is "unlikely to add a starting pitcher" even after the injuries and will instead insert Daniel Mengden and Frankie Montas into the rotation.Oakland is 2.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West but 4.5 games ahead of the Seattle Mariners in the race for the final wild-card position. It will be tasked with holding off the Mariners for the foreseeable future without one of its key pieces in Manaea. What are the greatest moments Domingo Santana Jersey , accomplished by the most pedestrian White Sox, of all time?"One of the coolest things about baseball is that in any given game, anyone can be the hero. Anyone (at least on the active roster) can be the one who makes the play or gets the hit that saves the game, turns the tide ... (insert your clich茅 here). And the history of the game is filled to the brim with examples.Take, for instance, the famous Nippy Jones World Series shoeshine incident. The famous Nippy Jones World Series shoeshine incident?For those who don’t know the story, in the 1957 Milwaukee Braves-New York Yankees World Series, Game 4 went into extra innings Eric Sogard Jersey , where the Yankees took a 5-4 lead, already up 2-1 in the series. In the bottom of the 10th, the Braves sent journeyman Jones to the plate to pinch-hit for Warren Spahn. Jones was in the final year of an uneventful eight years in the big leagues. He was a career .267/.304/.382 (WAR: -1.5) utility infielder. He’d come to bat 83 times in 30 games during the 1957 regular season, during which his numbers almost literally paralleled his career totals: .266/.293/.392. One can assume the County Stadium crazies were underwhelmed as Jones strode manfully to the plate. Tommy Byrne’s first pitch is low and inside, and the eventually illustrious umpire Augie Donatelli calls it a ball. But wait! Jones asks for the ball, and shows Donatelli a black smudge on it. He points to his shoe, where there is a clear smudge in the polish he lovingly applied before the game. Donatelli accepts this clear evidence that the pitch hit Jones, and awards him first base.Jones promptly is driven in with the tying run http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , and Eddie Matthews — the epitome of a non-journeyman — hits a two-run homer to win the game.The Braves went on to win the World Series, by the way.(You might recall not one but two acts of “Nippyism” on the 2005 White Sox’s run to the World Series, neither involving shoeshine, but every bit of skullduggered.)In the spirit of Nippy Jones, as well as the White Sox commemorating Dewayne Wise with a 10th anniversary celebration of “The Catch” preserving Mark Buehrle’s perfect game, let’s examine White Sox journeymen, never-weres, cups of coffee Zach Davies Jersey , those with otherwise completely forgettable careers, who nevertheless did one great thing for the Sox. And since I have curiously run across two completely unrelated references to it in the past three days, I would like to start us off with what I see as a perfect (pun will become clear very shortly) example:In 2012, Philip Humber pitched a perfect game.So tell us: what other one great things by White Sox everymen should we remember?
