Dan Straily Named “California League Pitcher

of the Week” For the second straight week, the California League Pitcher of the Week plays for Stockton; this week (April 18-24) the honor goes to Ports starting Pitcher Dan Straily.

Straily made two strong appearances during the week to help in his quest to earn the title and earned the win in both contests he entered. Straily’s first appear-ance of the week technically came in relief as he entered the game on Monday, April 18 in the second inning, relieving rehab-bing Oakland Athletics reliever, Michael Wuertz. Straily pitched 5.0 innings of shutout baseball, giving up just two runs and two walks while striking out nine. Straily followed his impressive relief appearance with an equally outstand-ing start in Lancaster, pitching another 6.0 shutout innings. Straily’s 6.0 shutout innings earned him his second win of the week, brought his strikeout total to 22 and dropped his season ERA down to 0.90. “Dan had a great last couple of games and really dominated with his fastball,” Ports pitching coach Craig Lefferts said. “He showed an improving changeup and is doing a real good job in the strike zone. All-in-all it was a good last couple of games.”

This is not Straily’s first time earning the Pitcher of the Week title, having earned the distinction back in August of 2009 while with the Vancouver Canadians. In 2009, Straily made 16 appearances with the Canadians, including 11 starts, and went 5-3 with a 4.12 ERA. In 2010, Straily made 28 starts with the Kane County Cougars, the Low-A affiliate of the A’s.

Straily went 10-7 with the Cougars and re-corded 149 strikeouts during the season. Stockton Ports fans can check out the back-to-back California League Pitchers of the Week all season long as they take the mound for Stockton at Banner Island Ballpark

By Allie Mandel

It was Sunday, and I was sitting in the Ports Terrace before the start of what would be a very rough game for the Ports. It was hot, and all of the boys in the bull-pen were lounging around trying to stay cool.

I was taking photos of them all game long, but one thing that caught my eye occurred before the game even began. I had noticed what appeared to be a matrix made up of seven baseballs lying on the ground before the Sunday day game, but had never paid it much notice. They formed a large rectangle with a line down the middle. I was curious. A grid like that does not simply come to be; someone had obviously set that up.

“Scott! Hey Scott!” I yelled to get Scott Deal’s attention. He turns around and asks what’s up.

“What is that?” I ask. It’s the first time I’ve come back to the bullpen before, so he seemed a little surprised that I was there and chatting with them. But he was nice, and despite the fact that he probably doesn’t answer questions before the start of a game by yelling over the top of ten foot wall, he answered my questions.

“It’s a game we play before games some times,” he explains. The rules are simple. Standing on opposite sides of the grid, two players take turns throwing a stake that was wither left in the bullpen or brought out to the bullpen onto their opponents side of the grid. The players are only al-lowed to throw on their opponent’s side of the grid, marked by a line set at the middle balls. Then the non-thrower must retrieve the stake. However, they are only allowed to move one foot, and use one hand to reach it. If you move your second foot, or can’t reach the stake, you lose. He stands up with former Ports pitcher, Bo Schultz, to show me.

Schultz starts with the stake and tosses it right at the edge of the middle line. It barely makes it across the line and into fair territory. Deal groans, but I don’t think it looks like a terribly hard grab. I was wrong. Deal winds up and lunges for the stake. He makes a good plant and extends his back toe. And then he reaches. His fingertips graze the stake; it’s tantalizingly close. Slowly but surely, he inches the stake towards his outstretched hand, and then he has it.

Now it’s his turn to toss the stake. Deal is not allowed to move his feet, so he tosses it to a similar location on Schultz’s side of

the grid. Schultz goes through the same agony that Deal does, but eventually gets the stake out of the ground. Schultz then tosses it to the other side of the square. Deal considers and then pushes off his front foot and lunges over towards the stake. But its too far. He can’t reach. A.J. Huttenlocker, who was standing by the benches in the bullpen, starts to cheer Deal on.

“Come on man, you can get that!” he says. But Deal has had enough, and stands up and shakes Schultz’s hand. They try to convince me to play a round with them, and I laugh and say it’s not really a fair fight. They are all over 6 feet tall and I stand at barely 5’5”. They joke about how they’ll make my side shorter, and are generally giving me a hard time. I asked if they would let me snap a shot of the game before the actual ball game

began. It takes some convincing, since they all enjoy giving me a hard time about how camera shy they are. They aren’t, Connor Hoehn had just spent the last week informing me how he wants every photo I have taken of him, so I keep push-ing for the shot. Finally I get Huttenlocker, Max Peterson and Deal to get up and let me snap three rather blurry shots of the game. Then it’s time for the national anthem to be sung and the game to begin, and they are immediately back to business.

Later, as I sat there taking shots of Josh Lansford warming in the bullpen, I real-ized how similar their playing style is to their pitching style. The kick, the lunge, the way they reach for the stake. They may be goofing off, but, at least to me, they are actually working on their delivery. And that is pretty darn cool.

“When I was 16 I got jumped and I was stabbed 37 times with a razorblade. I was in some street fights and stuff like that,” he said. “And then when I was 19, one of my best friends was shot and killed in a drive-by.”

It takes a great support system to overcome injury and loss, and Lipkin was lucky enough to have that kind of support, both at USF and at home.

“I had a lot of good people who surrounded me. [After] my best friend was shot, my coach from USF was the one who picked me up from the airport,” he said. “So I had a lot of support at that college. He helped me deal with that part a little bit. And I had really good parents. I had a good home life, I was just getting into some trouble away from home.”

Getting to know Ryan Lipkin

By Kirstie Haruta

With the season well underway, the Stockton Ports welcome another catcher to their 2011 roster. Ryan Lipkin, a former psychology student from the University of San Francisco, is fitting right in with the Ports staff at Banner Island Ballpark. One may not guess it from speak-ing to him now, but Lipkin faced some troubling and tragic times before making it to where he is today.

Born and raised in Vacaville, CA, Lipkin began playing baseball at the young age of four.

“It was always what I wanted to do,” he said.

But it wasn’t a clear-cut path to being drafted by the Oakland A’s. Though, understandably, he does not wish to go into great detail, he admits to some dark and devastating times for him as a teen.

throwing well, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

“He’s a real good kid and an exciting ballplayer,” said Ports manager Webster Garrison. “He’s a very entertaining guy, he’s good to have on the team, and he plays well.”

Ports fans can look forward to seeing Lipkin continue to play hard. He takes pride in his self-determination and passion for the game.

“I’m pretty self-motivated. I’ve always wanted it. I just love playing the game. It’s been a lot of fun,” he said.

He also doesn’t take anything for granted. The good friend he lost had been an aspiring football player at the commu-nity college they had attended. After his death, Lipkin became more acutely aware of how precious every opportunity is.

“Just to understand the fact that he doesn’t have the op-portunity to pursue his goals anymore, [having] his mom [tell] me to make mine special and live through him kind of – that’s been a big motivator,” he said.

Catch Lipkin behind the plate this season, as he enjoys homestands near his own home with the Stockton Ports.

Ever determined, Lipkin worked through it all and drew the at-tention of the Oakland A’s when he was a junior. However, aca-demic goals would take priority after his first draft.

“I got drafted my junior year by the Oakland A’s,” he said. “But I always wanted to get my degree, and I wasn’t drafted as high as I would have wanted to. So I definitely chose to go back to college, and I finished my psychology degree.”

But that wasn’t the end of the story for Lipkin and the A’s or-ganization.

“When the draft came around, I ended up getting drafted by the Oakland A’s again in the 24th round,” he said. “And I took it.”

Lipkin would go on to play for Vancouver and Kane County’s teams. He hit another obstacle during his time at spring training before landing a position with the Stockton Ports.

“When I went to spring training, everything was okay, and then I ended up with appendicitis. I got my appendix taken out during spring training, so I had to rehab my stomach,” he said. “And then some of the chips fell and the number one guy up here, [Max] Stassi, his shoul-der’s been injured, so I ended up getting called up to kind of take over his position until he gets healthy.”

While he’s still fairly new to the team, he’s been hitting and
