Madison Bumgarner I suspect Madison Bumgarner has Jewish blood. This is what is written about him on Wikipedia: Andrew Baggarly, a reporter who covers the Giants, wrote of Bumgarner, "While I wouldn't describe him as outgoing, he struck me as being smart, well spoken and polite. He is deeply Christian and seems to be very grounded." And look who he’s being compared to: “His 0.43 ERA in the 2014 World Series was the lowest in a single World Series (minimum 15 innings) since Sandy Koufax posted a 0.38 ERA in the 1965 World Series.” And he was the “First pitcher to throw at least four scoreless innings in a World Series Game 7 (2014) on two days' rest since Sandy Koufax's shutout for the Dodgers in 1965.” That’s the World Series where Sandy Koufax sat out the first game because it was on Yom Kippur, then had three starts; he was the most overpowering he ever was.
Madison Bumgarner There’s a Grant Bumgarner who had a bar mitzvah in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2009http://www.templetulsa.com/september-12-2009-anasazi-lessons-for-jews/
Here’s the Wikipedia entry: In the top of the fourth inning, Pablo Sandoval reached on an infield single and moved to third after Hunter Pence singled and Brandon Belt flied out to left. Manager Ned Yost brought in Kelvin Herrera to face Michael Morse, but Morse singled on an 0–2 pitch to score Sandoval, giving the Giants a 3–2 lead. After Jeremy Affeldt pitched a scoreless bottom of the fourth, the Giants brought in Madison Bumgarner on two days' rest to protect their one-run lead in the fifth. Bumgarner held the Royals scoreless over the final five innings, earning the longest save in World Series history.After allowing a single to Omar Infante in the fifth inning, Bumgarner retired 14 batters in a row. The game ended in dramatic fashion when Alex Gordon of the Royals reached third base as the potential tying run, with two out in the ninth inning, on a base hit and error combination. (After the game, there was much discussion among fans and statisticians about the decision not to wave Gordon home in an attempt to tie the game.) Bumgarner induced Salvador Pérez to hit a foul popup that was caught by Pablo Sandoval to end the game, series, and baseball season. Bumgarner was initially credited with the win, which would have given him a 3-0 record in the series, the first since Randy Johnson in the 2001 World Series. However, following deliberation among the official scorers, it was decided that Affeldt by rule was entitled to the win.
The Greatest World Series Pitchers by David Leonhardt (October 27, 2014) With his shutout Sunday night, Madison Bumgarner has become one of the greatest pitchers in World Series history. In four starts, over three World Series, Bumgarner has won all four, allowing a single run in 31 innings. And that run was all but meaningless: It came in the seventh inning in Game 1 against the Royals last week, with Bumgarner’s Giants ahead, 7-0.Bumgarner now holds the record for lowest career earned run average (0.29) in the World Series among pitchers with at least 30 innings pitched. The mark is impressive by any standard. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that Bumgarner is the best World Series pitcher ever.That distinction belongs to Christy Mathewson, who also did his pitching for the Giants (when they were in New York). It’s not even close, either.Madison Bumgarner is 7th best (that’s SEVENth best) all time. He’s after Christy Mathewson, Sandy Koufax, Waite Hoyt, Eddie Plank, Bob Gibson, and George Earnshaw.
Joc Pederson
Joc Pederson Rookie of the Year candidate for 2015Jewish on both sides of the family23 Nisan 5775 – first home run (in a Shemitah)On day when Jewish people remember the Shemini – when Yahweh killed Nadab and AbihuCould it be a sign of coming judgment?
The 2015 Baseball All-Star Game Providential signs…Joc Pederson, Jewish rookie outfielder for the Dodgers, not only made a very rare start in an All Star Game (rookies almost never start because the fans don’t often know about them yet), but came in a surprising second in the Home Run Derby
Two Jewish players eventually played: Joc Pederson started for the NL, and Ryan Braun tripled in a pinch-hitting role for the NL also… Braun was added to the team later because Matt Holliday of the Cardinals was hurt… many questioned the choice of Braun, since he’s not even the best hitter on his own team this year, and Milwaukee already was represented by reliever Francisco Rodriguez…Because Yahweh wanted him there.
Two other players of Jewish ancestry played…Paul Goldschmidt (who is a Christian)…And Jason Kipnis (who is a Roman Catholic)
Two more players of possible Jewish ancestry were selected…Madison Bumgarner, andDallas Keuchel, starting pitcher for the AL from the Houston Astros
2015 All Star Game Before the game, the four players voted the Greatest Living Players by the fans of baseball were introduced… they are: Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Sandy Koufax, and Willie Mays…
And Sandy Koufax, at the age of 79, despite only a tenuous connection to Cincinnati, threw out the one and only ceremonial first pitch…

Ryan Braun
Ryan Braun Voted NL MVP in 2011On August 8, 2015, had exactly 1400 hits for his career. His 162-game average for plate appearances was, at that moment, exactly 700. His average runs scored per 162-game-season was 107.
2015 Shemitah sign
2015 Shemitah sign (AP) Home sweep home.When the Seattle Mariners beat Baltimore 6-5 in 10 innings Tuesday night, it marked the first time in baseball history all 15 home teams won on the same day.Viewing every game as a 50-50 proposition independent of all others, STATS figured the odds of a home sweep on a night with a full major league schedule was 1 in 32,768.That was August 11, 2015 (26 Av 5775).
2015 Shemitah sign Research by the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball's official statistician, indicated that previously the best performance by home teams had been 12-0 on May 23, 1914 (27 Iyyar 5674).That included four games that day in the Federal League, then considered one of three major leagues.Was that a sign of the massive judgment soon to come on to the world? Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28, 1914 (4 Tamuz 5674), precipitating World War 1.
The Guns of August? August 1, 1914 (Tisha B’Av – the 9th of Av, 5674)(from History Channel) “On August 1, 1914, four days after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, two more great European powers—Russia and Germany—declare war on each other; the same day, France orders a general mobilization. The so-called “Great War” that ensued would be one of unprecedented destruction and loss of life, resulting in the deaths of some 20 million soldiers and civilians and the physical devastation of much of the European continent.”Not a Shemitah… not (yet) a blessing for the Jewish people (but it would be, later)
Shemitah sign 2015 The Philadelphia were dead last with a horrific record of 20 – 62 and in a tail-spin at the All Star break 2015The Phillies emerge from the All Star Game on fire, going 17 – 7 in the first 24 games.As of August 14… could they win THE WHOLE THING?

Jackie Bradley’s Big Day
Jackie Bradley’s Big Day On Saturday, August 15, 2015 (during this Shemitah year, on 30 Av 5775), the Boston Red Sox Red Sox torched Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, one of the best pitchers in baseball. The final score was 22 – 10.Leading the pack was Jackie Bradley Jr., who homered twice and doubled three times, while driving in seven and scoring five runs out of the ninth spot in the batting order.
Jackie Bradley’s Big Day Five extra-base hits (Bradley had two home runs and three doubles) has only been done twice before in Major League historyOnce was by Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves in 1954Later, it was done on May 23, 2002, by a Dodger outfielder…Guy named Shawn Green…Who happened to have had the biggest offensive day ever, with four home runs, a double, and a single for 19 total bases in one gameWho, by the way, is… well, you know…
August 25, 2015 From Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler Taken together, four recent and upcoming events make a compelling case for imminent and dramatic messianic advancement. The four events are the end of the Shmittah year on September 13, the shaking of the world economies last week, numerical hints that abound in Bible Codes and the final Blood Moon of the current tetrad on September 28.In the name of Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl, the former Chief Rabbi of the Old City of Jerusalem, author Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf told Breaking Israel News that, since the end of Biblical prophecy, God speaks to us in headlines. Apisdorf said the same idea, that God speaks through historical events, is echoed by Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler, an important 20th century rabbi, Talmudic scholar, and Jewish philosopher. Where do we find hints of God’s Hand in recent economic news? As previously reported by Breaking Israel News, there is a well established pattern of connection between the end of a Shmittah cycle and a downturn in the US economy. This has happened at or near the end of the last seven Shmittah cycles.
Repeating… “…God speaks to us in headlines… God speaks through historical events.”And He has spoken to us – and DOES speak to us - in the History of Major League Baseball!
Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler, August 25, 2015 “Three weeks ahead of the end of the Shmittah cycle, Wall Street just experienced a very difficult week, the worst in years. The Dow fell more than 1,000 points. Some say it’s just a normal market correction. End of Days blogger Tomer Devorah has a different way of understanding the numbers. In the system of gematria, where every Hebrew letter has a numerical value, the numerical value of the word Mashiach (Messiah) is 358. On Thursday, August 20, the US stock market fell 358 points. The next day, Friday, August 21, the US stock market fell another 530 points. Together, 530 and 358 equals 888. This is significant because the number 8 represents God, who is above nature. As Tomer Devorah writes “The number 8 is also connected to the revelation of Mashiach (messiah)!” She explains that the number 7 is associated with completeness in nature – the seven days of Creation, the seven days of the week, the seven colors of the rainbow, etc. The number 8 is above nature. The Messianic era is also represented by the number 8 because, during that time, our souls will transcend nature and will experience a higher level of understanding God.”
So what does this all mean? Elohim, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is in control of the universe, and He is in control over every aspect of our lives.Yahweh will keep His promises to His covenant people, Israel – “I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you.” That promise was never rescinded, even when His people turned away from Him.
“Signs of the times” Abba Father uses the world we live in to warn us. He works in the headlines, not on page B19.If you don’t believe that, ask yourself: “Why do we still care so much about a not-really-so-big city of Jerusalem?”And: “Why does the world care so much about Israel and the Jewish people?”
And… How is it that, despite the world’s general contempt for Jewish people – from Nazis to Islamists to European intellectuals – Yahweh has so remarkably blessed His people (see the beginning of this)?
So, what do we do? The best thing to do is get right with Abba Father.“How do we do that?”Not by doing good works, whatever they may be. Jesus said, “Repent, and believe the gospel”“What is that?”
The Gospel is… The Good News that Elohim, the all-powerful God of the universe, came down to this Earth in the God-man, Yeshua ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah). He lived a life of sinless perfection, then allowed Himself to be executed – a bloody death by the horrifying method of crucifixion – the just for the unjust, so that our sins can be forgiven.
“Anybody’s sins?” Anybody’s – Everybody’s sins.”‘By doing what?”By repenting – admitting to Abba Father that you are a sinner worthy of nothing but condemnation – and believing that what Jesus did on the cross paid for your sins.”“That’s it?”Yes. As long as you come to Him with a sincere, humble heart… Oh, and something else.”
“What else?” If you are really genuine, you will also believe that Abba Father raised Jesus from the dead. Belief in the Resurrection of Jesus is a sign that you have genuine faith.“That’s all it takes?”Read John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that He gave his only-begotten (one and only) Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but will have everlasting life.” It’s all right there. Abba Father loves you.
“What about good works?” There are no good works you can do that can gain you salvation. Just “believe in the One He has sent.”“No good works?”They’ll follow. He said “If you love Me. You will keep My commandments.”
