HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1982-06-16, Page 14Poo, 2A Times -Advocate, June 16, 1482 Sports Spotlight tAiti By Ross Haugh More strategy A week ago we talked about baseball strategyand how• sometimes it works and on other occasions it doesn't. A prime example of this came in Wednesday night's game in Toronto between the Blue Jays and the Califor- nia Angels. In the bottom of the ninth Lloyd Moseby of the Jays tripled to tie the score and was on third with nobody out. At this point Angel manager Gene Mauch decided to walk the next two batters intentionally to fill the bases and set up force plays all the way around. The Jays were in good position because Alfredo Grif- fin a switch hitter was coming up and he already had two hits earlier in the game. Toronto manager Bobby Cox overlooked Griffin's achievement and went to the bench for left handed hitting Alvis Woods. Woods came through with a ground ball that went at least 60 feet. But, it was a hit in the right spot down the first base line and just past the pitcher and the runner from third scored easily. • The Blue Jays are continuing their good play especially with good efforts from their young pitching staff.. A couple of managers around the American league have suggested that Toronto has the second best mound staff in their league. Manager Bobby Cox has been doing some ek- perimenting and now has found five more than satisfac- tory starters which is something a lot of teams would like to have. The emergence of rookie Jim Gott and the more veteranish Luis Lea adds to the already steady throw- ing of Dave Stieb and Jim Clancy and gives Cox a steady starting foursome and now their one-time bull pen ace Jerry Garvin has been doing well when he goes into a starting role. George Steinbrenner of the Yankees has said recently that he would like to get a couple of Blue Jays over to his team. They are pitcher Dave Stieb and se- cond baseman Damasso Garcia who was a Yankee at one time. Our other favourite American league team the Detroit Tigers continue to surprise a lot of people and are hanging right in therefor first place in the Eastern division with the Boston Red Sox. The Tigers faced with the loss of Dave Rozema for the rest of the season and Milt Wilcox for a week or two are getting excellent pitching from the rest of their staff "Wilkey hits when they, need them. ter -Wednesday's Blue Jaya win, Lloyd Moseby sit on television his team-mates are beginning to have at in themselves and their abilities to beat any team in the league. • In recent games with the Yankees the Blue Jays won five of six games and were able to handle the best pitching the New York club could throw at them in- cluding their ace Goose Gossage. Wednesday night Tiger pitchers gave up only four runs to the Cleveland Indians in 23 innings of a doubleheaderwhich stretched out to 14 innings in the second game and was called at 3-3 because of a curfew.

Pawtucket Red Sox, a Boston farm club. The Bird went —a full nine inning game Wednesday, but, was defeated. So, it appears he isn't making too much progress on the comeback trail. An exciting time The last few weeks have probably been the most exciting in the life of Exeter hockey player Dave Shaw. At the age of 18 Dave has experienced the thrill of being a member of a Memorial Cup championship hockey team and shortly after being selected in the Na- tional Hockey League draft. Dave was picked Wednes- day in the first round and 13th overall by the Quebec Nordiques and that's a great honour to be chosen that high. The official scouting report had Dave listed on 16th on the list and the June Hockey News had him pegged at 14. To be chosen by Quebec came as a complete sur- prise to Dave and the entire Shaw family. Previous to the actual draft no one from Quebec had made contact. Because of last minute trading it was expected Dave would be going to the Buffalo Sabres, but, that didn't happen. When Buffalo traded goalie Roy Ed- wards to Calgary the night before they received that team's ninth pick in the first round. That gave Bowman picks six and nine and he said he wanted both Kitchener rookie defencemen Scott Stevens and Dave Shaw. Bowman was apparently prepared to take Stevens sixth and Shaw ninth. The only problem was Bowman didn't get the chance to take Stevens as Washington picked him up as the fifth overall selection. Exeter mayor Bruce Shaw accompanied his son to the NHL draft meeting which was held at the Forum in Montreal and said it was a very interesting and ex- citing experience. A further story on the draft and Dave Shaw's in- volvement appears elsewhere on these sports pages. Tuffy Knight is speaker South Huron athletes told to believe in themselves "You have to believe in yourself if you expect others to believe in you. A positive attitude is essential as you move down the road of life". This is one of the things the ef- fervescent and outspoken Wilfrid Laurier University football.coach, Tuffy Knight had to say to an audience of nearly 200 South Huron athletes, their coaches and parents at the annual athletic banquet, Tuesday, at the South Huron Recreation Centre.

"Ronnalee best personifies the .athletic, academic and personal qualities shown by the late Mike Moser", said Potje.
