Red Sox give Workman extra rest
Brandon Workman, the Bowie High School Class of 2007 graduate, was given extra rest and didn’t make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds.
Anthony Ranaudo, one of Workman’s best friends in the Red Sox organization, took his place and earned the win as the Red Sox nipped the Reds 5-4.
Ranaudo gave up four earned runs and eight hits (two of them home runs) in six innings in place of Workman.
According to ESPN.com’s schedule, Workman is likely to make his next start on Aug. 18 against the Los Angeles Angels. The first pitch is set for 6:10 Eastern Daylight Time, and will be shown on DirecTV’s Extra Innings package.
Boston Globe sportswriter Peter Abraham interviewed Workman about his extra rest.
“The little extra rest should help me,” Workman said. “I’ve had a couple of tough ones in a row. I need to solidify some mechanical issues, too.”
In his last six games, five of them starts, Workman is 0-6 with a 6.35 earned-run average. In his last game, Workman yielded the game-winning home run to the Angels’ Albert Pujols in a 5-4 19-inning loss.
It’s been reported Workman’s velocity has dropped a couple of miles per hour this season, which can make a difference between a strikeout and a home run.
“It’s not an injury,” Workman said. “It’s more of hitting a wall and not being as sharp.”
Red Sox manager John Farrell said Workman is feeling the effects of pitching so much during the 2013 season and this year.
When added with his postseason experience and time spent in the minors, Workman has appeared in 37 games and pitched 105 innings. He pitched into September and October for the first time in his career last year.
It’s expected Workman will remain as part of Boston’s rotation for the remainder of the season.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
