Workman Watch: Red Sox don’t use Workman versus Yankees

Former Bowie High School standout pitcher Brandon Workman didn’t pitch out of the bullpen at all during last weekend’s series for the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees.
That means Workman’s last performance of the season took place on Sept. 18 at Pittsburgh against the Pirates – in which he earned a loss. The Red Sox wrapped up play this past Sunday.
Workman pitched well enough to win in that game, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out six and walking three. He allowed a home run as Pittsburgh defeated Boston 3-2 at PNC Park.
Workman finished a disappointing 2014 campaign with a record of 1-10, which includes a 5.17 earned-run average.
He worked 87 innings, giving up 57 runs (50 earned) on 88 hits, including 11 home runs. Opponents finished the season batting .263 against Workman.
The Bowie Hall of Honor inductee struck out 70 and walked 36.
Workman fared much better with the Triple-A Pawtucket (R.I.) PawSox, going 7-1 with a 4.11 ERA. In 11 game starts and 61-1/3 innings pitched, he allowed 28 earned runs on 61 hits to go with 55 strikeouts and 17 walks. He surrendered 10 minor league homers, too.
It’s unclear what role Workman will have with the Red Sox for the 2015 season, and a return to the bullpen could be in the offing.
This marks the final Workman Watch for now, as news warrants on the 2007 Bowie High School graduate.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
