Gerrit Cole allowed two runs in four innings in his return from injury… 62 pitches

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who had been out of the lineup due to an elbow injury, made a stable pitch in his return to injury.

Cole started the 2024 Major League Baseball home game against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 20th (Korea time), throwing 62 pitches in four innings, recording three hits, one walk, five strikeouts and two runs.

Cole was shaken by giving up a right-handed double to Gunnar Henderson, the leadoff hitter, and a right-handed double to Ryan O’Hearn in the first inning, but he kept the Baltimore lineup scoreless from the second to the fourth.

He was replaced after allowing a left-handed hit to leadoff hitter Cedric Mullins in the top of the fifth inning when the score was 1-1, and changed pitcher Ron Marinaccio brought home the succession runner, increasing Cole’s earned run to two points.

Cole is the league’s best pitcher who won the American League Cy Young Award unanimously last season. 토토사이트 추천

He left the starting rotation in March complaining of elbow pain during the exhibition game, and last month, he went through a full-fledged rehabilitation process to raise his physical condition again.

Meanwhile, the Yankees lost the game 6-7 after a close game in the 10th inning. The gap between the Yankees ranking first and second in the AL East has narrowed by 1.5 games.

Is SD the lifeblood of fall baseball? U.S. media paying attention to Cleveland-LAD-BOS

The Athletic, a local media outlet, said in an article titled “Guardians’ Introduction to MLB Trade: Three Stories to Watch” on the 13th (Korean Standard Time) that the Cleveland Guardians could covet shortstop Kim Ha-sung this summer.

Why Cleveland? It is leading the American League Central with 43 wins and 23 losses. It is 5.5 games away from the second-ranked Kansas City Royals. FanGraphs put Cleveland’s probability of entering the playoffs at 85.2 percent. They are expecting an autumn baseball for the first time in two years following 2022. However, Cleveland’s biggest weakness is shortstop.

“Guardians are ready to attack the market this summer. They are desperately trying to reinforce their starting lineup and want strong bats,” said journalist Jack Maisel, who wrote the article. “Both strikers Brian Locchio and Gabriel Arias have weak bats. Daniel Schneeman recently joined Triple-A and Jose Tena, Juan Brito, and Angel Martinez are growing up, but this is not the right answer for them to have a Keystone combination with (second baseman) Andrés Jiménez.” 토토사이트 순위

Rockino, Cleveland’s main shortstop, has a batting average of 0.213 (37 hits in 174 times at bat), one homer, 11 RBIs and an OPS of 0.603, which ranks among the lowest in offense capability. Indeed, the team needs a shortstop equipped with bat capability. In other words, Kim Ha-sung is an alternative.

“Guardians can find short-term solutions if they cannot be resolved internally. We need a batter who can immediately strengthen our offense capability at the shortstop position,” said reporter Maisel, recalling the splendid name Blue Jays Beau-Vichette. However, it is unclear whether Toronto will become a seller next month. Kim Ha-sung could be an attractive alternative if the Padres move away from the (Autumn Baseball) race, although the possibility is slim at the moment.

However, in terms of the possibility of a trade deal, Vissette is close to slimming down and Kim Ha-sung is close to impossible. There were a lot of trade rumors about Kim last winter. In fact, the San Diego Padres pushed for it. Although it was not achieved due to AJ Freeler’s high price tag, the team reportedly received considerable inquiries from the trade market.

However, Kim Ha-sung is indispensable to the San Diego Padres since the beginning of the season. The San Diego Padres has a high chance to advance to the post season this year. The San Diego Padres, which beat the Oakland Athletics for three consecutive games on the day, are ranking second in the NL West with 37 wins and 35 losses, and second in the wild card. The FanGraphs estimated the probability of San Diego’s fall baseball at 60.1 percent. The probability increased again from 57.3 percent on the previous day.

There is no reason to put Kim Ha-sung, the “hack” of offense and defense, on the market. Even if the possibility of a playoff is virtually eliminated due to the “drastic drop” of San Diego’s “one in the world” after the All-Star break in July, it will be difficult to put Kim Ha-sung on the market. This is because there is a $7 million mutual option for next season. In other words, if Kim Ha-sung has any chance of choosing this option, he could sign an extension contract after the season ends. San Diego needs to pay attention in particular to the fact that Kim Ha-sung has absolute support from home fans.

Kim Ha-sung’s batting performance has taken an upward turn since June. He has a batting average of 0.222 (53 hits in 239 times at bat), nine homers, 34 RBIs, 36 runs scored, 41 walks, 14 steals, and OPS of 0.729. In the recent 14 games, he has shown a sharp upward trend, posting a batting average of 0.261 (12 hits in 46 times at bat), three homers, 11 RBIs, nine runs, nine walks, and 0.940.

If Kim Ha-sung gives up his options after this season and joins the FA market, he is expected to be ranked first and second along with Willy Adames of the Milwaukee Brewers. Still, experts say that Kim Ha-sung is ahead in terms of both offense and defense capabilities. As of the day, bWAR is 2.0 for Kim Ha-sung and 1.8 for Adames. Shortstop is always called for in the market. Chances are high that not only Cleveland but also the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox, who desperately need shortstop, will jump in for Kim Ha-sung.

“Boston is expected to have minor league shortstop Marcelo Mayer make his Major League debut this year,” said Boston fan media BoSox Injection. “As a result, the shortstop that Craig Brisslow wants to bring in this summer is a player with a low reputation. Kim Ha-sung and Willie Adames, who will become FA later this year, say that Boston has to yield promising players, which is too expensive.” This means that Boston could eventually target the FA market later this year.

Tottenham is on the hunt for a teenage ‘wonderkid’

Tottenham is on the hunt for a teenage ‘wonderkid’.

Tottenham are interested in signing teenage wonderkid Michael Kayode (Fiorentina) for £33.8 million, according to British media outlet The Boot.

The 2004-born defender is a highly sought-after defensive talent around the world. Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Man City, FC Barcelona, and others are reportedly interested. He made 26 appearances in the Italian Serie A in the 2023-2024 season.

Tottenham are also in the race to sign Kayode. Spurs, 안전놀이터 추천 led by manager Enze Postecoglou, finished fifth in the English Premier League (EPL) in 2023-2024 with 20 wins, 6 draws, and 12 losses (66 points). They punched their ticket to European competition next season.

The club is now looking to strengthen its squad to reach even higher heights.

‘Spurs need the full support of chairman Daniel Levy if they want to go to the next level,’ says The Bootroom. Spurs have made contact to sign the talented defender. Kayode has been described as a wonderkid. He had a productive season in Serie A last season, leading the team. His current transfer fee is reportedly £33.8 million. That’s not cheap. However, Tottenham are the favorites to sign Kayode. Fiorentina said, ‘We expect a bid to come in soon’.

There are question marks. ‘Tottenham should prioritize the signing of a striker,’ says Dubutrum. They should focus on securing a replacement for Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). There’s a possibility that the Frenchman could leave. The club should sign a striker who can take the team to the next level. At the moment, they are relying too much on Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 35 league games last season. 카지노사이트 추천 He also played as a frontline striker depending on the team’s situation.

This is a ‘sweet red bean bread’.

“Kylian Mbappe (26) will not participate in Real Madrid’s U.S. tour,” the British ‘Tribuna’ reported on the 24th (Korea time).

Real Madrid announced through official channels on the 4th that “Kylian Mbappe has agreed to sign a contract with Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe will be a Real Madrid player for the next five years,” the club announced on its official website.

“We strengthen our offense with the signing of Mbappe, a six-time top scorer at PSG last season, where he set a new single-season record for goals (44),” Real added.

Mbappe is a breakout star for the French national team. 스포츠토토 He can play as a wing-forward or up front, and has all the necessary attributes to do so, including great pace, quickness, and a powerful shot.

With Mbappe, Real Madrid is preparing for an extravagant signing ceremony.

Real Madrid is known for its ‘signing ceremonies’. When Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real from Manchester United in July 2009, more than 80,000 fans packed the Santiago Bernabeu stadium for his inauguration, while the arrivals of Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard were also celebrated in front of record crowds.

After a history of big-name signings, it seems that Real have really gone for it this time. “According to multiple sources in Spain, Real Madrid is planning a history-making induction ceremony at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu,” the media outlet reported earlier.

“The club is expected to announce Mbappe’s arrival with a brief official announcement on its website, social media and other official channels. His induction ceremony is expected to take place only after France has completed its UEFA Euro 2024 schedule,” the report added.

The problem is a broken nose. Mbappe, who entered the tournament as France’s first-choice striker, suffered a fractured nose in the first leg against Austria. He then missed the second game against the Netherlands.

Mbappe is not completely out of the Euro picture.

Like Son Heung-min at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, he will play with a face mask. In fact, he’s reportedly been training with one as well.

He”ll be fine for Europe, but will miss the tour of the United States. The injury to his nose was literally painful. “Thanks to the protective mask, he will be able to play, but he will need medical attention,” Tribuna reported.

On the same day, Spain’s As reported that “Mbappe is scheduled to undergo nose surgery in mid-July, with recovery usually taking two to three weeks. As a result, 토토사이트 순위 he will not be able to participate in the US tour. He is expected to return in time for the UEFA Super Cup before the start of the season.”

The Hungarian national team scored a stoppage-time winner

“Dominic Soboszlai (24, Liverpool) showed real leadership,” said the British publication Tribuna on Thursday.

He may be the youngest captain, but he’s certainly earned the title.

The Hungarian national team scored a stoppage-time winner to secure a 1-0 victory over Scotland in their final Euro2024 Group A match at the Stuttgart Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, at 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Hungary, who finished third in the group behind fellow group members Germany (2 wins, 1 draw, 7 points) and Switzerland (1 win, 2 draws, 5 points), will now depend on the results of the other group matches to determine their place in the round of 16. The first and second place finishers in each group, as well as the best four of the six third-placed nations, will also qualify.

Scotland failed to make it out of the group stage, 안전놀이터 finishing in last place (D1, L2, P1) without a single point in the tournament.

Hungary lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation on the day.

Varanavas Varga was up front, with Dominic Soboslai-Roland Salai in the attacking second line. Milos Kerkez-Undrash Schaefer-Callum Stiles-Bendeguz-Bowler filled out the midfield. Marton Dardewey-Bili Orban-Endre Boatker formed the back four, with Peter Gulacci starting in goal.

The first half was dominated by Hungary, but goals were hard to come by. Despite five shots on goal, none were on target. Scotland didn’t have a single shot on target. In the 41st minute, Orbán had a header off a free kick that hit the post.

Hungary continued to attack in the second half.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, there was a mishap on a free kick opportunity. Frontline striker Varga collided with opposing goalkeeper Gunn and was knocked unconscious. The situation was urgent.

The medical team’s slow movement was frustrating. Varga, lying on the ground, was given first aid by team captain Soboszlai before being loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital. In the 29th minute of the second half, Hungary substituted Ulsan HD forward Martin Adam for Varga.

Hungary managed to pull a goal back.

On a counterattack just before the end of the game, “substitute” Kevin Choszos got his foot on a cross from the right and fired the ball home. The game ended the same way. A 1-0 win for Hungary.

Tribuna said: “There was a terrible moment in the Hungary-Scotland game. Varga collapsed unconscious. Varga’s teammates called for help from the medical staff and the captain, Soboszlai, took the stretcher himself and helped the medics get to his teammate.”

After the game, the Hungarian Football Association announced that Varga was stabilized. However, the broken bone will require surgery and he is expected to miss the rest of the Euros.

Meanwhile, Soboszlai, born in 2000, is the youngest captain in Euro history at 23 years old. Ahead of the tournament, Sly said: “We have nothing to lose. 슬롯사이트 순위 But we can achieve great things in Germany,” he said, adding that despite being the underdogs, he was confident they could pull off a miracle.

“A few days ago I found out that I am the youngest captain in the history of this tournament. I want to thank coach Marco Rossi for believing in me and giving me the opportunity,” he said, adding: “It’s a great honor for me. It’s a great honor for me.”

The Hungarian players, rallying around Soboszlyi, raised Varga’s jersey after the match and wished him a speedy recovery.

The reigning champions are looking to strengthen their squad

After winning the English Premier League (EPL) title for the last four seasons in a row, the reigning champions are looking to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window. They’re spending a whopping £100 million to bring in a quality midfielder. Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who is entering the final season of his contract, is one of Pep Guardiola’s top targets.

‘Man City are ready to make a move for the £100 million midfielder, who has been earmarked by Guardiola,’ according to British publication Cut Offside on April 24 (KST).

City are arguably the ‘best team of the moment’. They have won the EPL title in four consecutive seasons, starting with the 2020-2021 campaign. 카지노사이트 In the 2022-2023 season, they won the triple (EPL, FA Cup, and Champions League). The likes of Liverpool and Arsenal have tried to stop City from winning the title, but have always fallen short. The competition has been fierce, but City has always come out on top.

That’s why City is looking to “upgrade” this summer in the transfer market.

If all goes according to plan, they will be unstoppable in the EPL. They’re not just the best in the EPL, they’re the best in the universe. They already have one of the best midfielders in the world in Kevin De Bruyne, and with the addition of Guimaraes, they’ll have a formidable midfield.

The outlet cited a report from GiveMeSports that said: ‘Man City are preparing to sign Guimarães. It is expected to further strengthen the squad. Guimarães, a Brazilian specialist midfielder, signed a new five-year contract with Newcastle last year. His contract runs until 2028 and was thought to be off-limits.

However, Guimarães had a £100 million buyout clause. It was to be activated in June. City wanted to activate this clause and integrate him into the squad immediately. More importantly, Guardiola wants him badly.

If City make a move, Newcastle will have a hard time stopping it. Newcastle are aware of this. Of course, Guimarães wants to stay at Newcastle. However, if City meet his release clause of £100 million, he’ll have no choice but to move on. Also, 실시간 바카라사이트 the prospect of playing for a team that competes for the EPL title every season and plays in the Champions League could be enough to change his mind. It will be interesting to see if City can complete their dream midfield pairing of ‘The Browner-Guimarães’.

Bruno Fernandes is facing problems with teammate

Bruno Fernandes (29, Man United) is allegedly not getting along with the Portuguese attacking lineup.

“Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is facing problems with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at the Euros,” reported ‘Strictly News’ on July 23 (KST).

The Portuguese national team defeated the Turkiye 3-0 in their UEFA Euro 2024 Group F second leg at BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany, at 1:00 a.m. on June 23.

Portugal lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Cristiano Ronaldo lined up up front, with Japhael Leroy-Bruno Fernandes-Bernardo Silva in the attacking second line. 바카라사이트 João Palinha-Vitinha filled out the midfield, while Nuno Mendes-Pepe-Hubeng Dias-Juan Cancellu formed the back four. Diogo Costa was in goal.

Portugal’s first goal came in the 22nd minute, when a low, quick cross from the left flank was not cleared by the defense and fell to Silva in the box, who found the back of the net with a precise left-footed shot.

Luck was on Portugal’s side.

In the 28th minute, Thurquié seemed to have escaped the danger after a crucial mistake by Portugal. Center back Samet Akaydin collected the ball and played it to goalkeeper Bayindre. However, Bayindre was far away from the goal and Akaydin’s attempted pass to the goalkeeper went straight into the net.

Ten minutes into the second half, Portugal scored their third goal, effectively sealing the victory. A one-timed ball in from behind was collected by Ronaldo, who broke the offside trap, and played a pass to Bruno Fernandes, who rushed in from the other side and made no mistake.

The game ended 3-0 in favor of Portugal.

Ronaldo played the full time and had 30 touches of the ball. He also added one assist, three chances created, eight touches in the opponent’s box, and two successful dribbles, proving that he is still a force to be reckoned with up front.

At 39 years old, 바카라사이트 추천 Ronaldo also seems to have lost some of the ‘greed’ he has been known for, as he neatly added an assist in the closing stages of the game, passing to Bruno who was in a better position to shoot when he had plenty of options.

“Ronaldo’s seventh assist of the tournament made him the most prolific Euro player of all time,” said The Athletic. Instead of shooting, he opted for a perfect pass.”

Ronaldo’s assist, Portugal’s big win, and Bruno’s goal.

Reports began to surface that something was wrong with the seemingly perfect Portuguese team.

According to Strait News, it was Portuguese daily newspaper Observador that first reported the news. “Bruno and Ronaldo are facing one problem at the tournament: the attacking midfielder is having problems with Ronaldo’s lack of pace,” the publication said.

Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has been playing Ronaldo up front and Bruno as an attacking midfielder in the tournament, with Bruno’s role being to play passes up front. But at 39 years old, Ronaldo’s feet have slowed down and this is causing problems.

“This problem, which often occurred when they were playing together at Manchester United, is now happening in the national team,” the outlet said. “Bernardo Silva is not as explosive and Ronaldo no longer has the pace he once had. Raphael Varane likes to drive the ball forward himself,” he said.

“All of this creates problems for Bruno. He likes to rush forward quickly,” 파워볼실시간 explaining that Bruno and the Portuguese offense are not a good match.

“Nevertheless, Ronaldo provided Bruno with an assist and Portugal took the two games without any problems. They will advance to the next round.”

The Spanish team is facing a “dilemma of epic proportions”

The Spanish national team is facing a “dilemma of epic proportions,” and some say it doesn’t matter.

“Spanish national team could be breaking strict German laws in their match against Albania, which could lead to unprecedentedly large penalties,” the UK’s Sports Bible reported on Thursday.

The Spanish national team will be looking to win the European Football Association (UEFA) Euro 2024. They thrashed powerhouse Croatia 3-0 in the first round of group play, and followed that up with a 1-0 win over defending champions Italy in the second round on June 21.

All that remains is a third-round match against Albania. 토토사이트 There were reports that there could be trouble in this match. One of the issues was the age of Ramin Yamal.

Yamal is a young player, born in 2007, who plays as a flanker for FC Barcelona. With solid fundamentals and mature individual skills, he torments opposing defenses with his fluid dribbling down the flanks. He also has a powerful shot and plays a big role in the team for his age.

According to reports,

Germany has a law that prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from working after 8 p.m., regardless of nationality. The law is meant to protect young workers, and soccer players are no exception.

“There is an exception that allows athletes to play until 11 p.m., but that exception must include time to shower and complete media obligations,” the media outlet reported, citing Germany’s Bild. If Yamal started and played the full time against Albania, showered, and gave an interview, it would be past 11 p.m. local time, which would be illegal.

As Sports Bible notes, “Yamal started both Euro games. In both games, he was subbed off early. Spain’s qualifying game goes to overtime and Yamal is playing in the wings, 안전놀이터 he’s in a difficult position to comply with the law. If that happens, he could be sanctioned.”

“If the German authorities take action, Spain would have to pay a fine of 30,000 euros ($44.7 million),” it added.

“However, some believe that this is just a ‘threat’ and is unlikely to be carried out. It would be surprising if the German authorities took action against the Spanish national team, as it is not as if Yamal is being victimized without receiving proper welfare.”

Meanwhile, Yamal is reportedly working on his schoolwork during his stay in Germany.

“I don’t know how many hours I study, I have a lot of free time, so I don’t have a set time, like ‘at least two hours today!'” he said.

“If I don’t have anything to do in my room, I’ll do some homework on my tablet, and if Fermin calls me to play games, I’ll go downstairs with them,” he said.

“Do I take tests? No. I just look at the material I get on the tablet, print it out and do the problems. They’ll probably send me my transcript online. I don’t know how far I’ll go in the Euros, but I hope I go far. I don’t want to go back and take classes again.”

“If we make it to the finals, 사설 토토사이트 I’m going to go straight on vacation without going back to school,” adds Yamal.

NC Dinos’ Son Ah-seop ties KBO career hits record

Son Ah-seop of the NC Dinos celebrates after tying the Korea Baseball Organization record with his 2,504th career hit against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, Wednesday.

Son Ah-seop of the NC Dinos tied the all-time hits record in South Korean baseball Wednesday.

Son picked up two hits against the Doosan Bears to reach 2,504 for his career in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), pulling into a tie with former LG Twins star Park Yong-taik.

Son, batting second as designated hitter, grounded out to second in the top of the first inning at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.

Son then got his first hit of the night in the top of the third inning. With two outs and a runner at second, Son dropped a soft hit in front of left 안전 fielder Kim Dae-han. The ball bounced once and took a funny hop past Kim, allowing Son to take second base. He was credited with a double.

Leading off the top sixth, Son grounded out to first baseman Yang Suk-hwan, with reliever Lee Young-ha just beating Son to the bag when covering first base.

With two outs and two men aboard in the top seventh, Son bounced into a forceout at third base.

Son came up for one last time in the top of the ninth and had another bloop hit to left field for his record-tying base knock.

Son extended his hitting streak to nine games and has hit safely in 14 of 15 games in June so far.

Park finished his career with 2,504 hits in 2,237 games. This was Son’s 2,043rd game.

Son, 36, made his KBO debut with the Lotte Giants in 2007 and has been a veritable hitting machine since becoming an everyday player in 2010.

He has recorded at least 100 hits in every season from 2010 to 2023, and his 1,994 hits and a .327 batting average in that 14-year span are tops in the KBO.

Son has led the league in hits four times, most recently in 2023 with 187. He also won his first batting title in 2023 with a .339 average.

After 15 years with the Giants, based in his hometown of Busan, Son signed a four-year contract with the Dinos as a free agent in December 2021

Nat’l football body terminates deal with women’s coach Bell by mutual consent

Colin Bell speaks during a press conference in Brisbane, Australia, Aug. 2, 2023. Yonhap

The South Korean national football federation announced Thursday it has parted ways with women’s national team head coach Colin Bell by mutual consent.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) said it decided to terminate its contract with Bell with six months left on the deal. Since the two sides came to a mutual agreement, the KFA said it doesn’t owe Bell any additional money.

The 62-year-old Englishman took over South Korea in October 2019 as the first foreign-born bench boss for the women’s national team here. He had signed two extensions with the KFA prior to Thursday’s decision.

In 49 matches under Bell, South Korea had 24 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses.

Some positive vibes from his early days gradually gave way to disappointment. South Korea failed to win a match in the group stage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in July last year and then lost to North Korea in the quarterfinals of the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, two months later.

Later in 2023, South Korea missed out on qualification for the Paris Olympics, unable to get past North Korea and China in the second round.

With no tournament action scheduled, South Korea have played six friendlies so far this year, most recently losing to the United States in back-to-back matches by a combined 7-0 on June 1 and 4.

“We at the KFA decided the women’s national team needed a change to take the next step, and it would be better to start preparing for that at this 추천 juncture,” the KFA said in a statement. “Coach Bell also felt that considering his own future, it would serve him well to terminate the contract with six months left on his deal here.”

For the past couple of years, Bell often lashed out at the domestic WK League, where most of the national team players are based, for not preparing players for international competition. He claimed that the absence of relegation in the WK League means losing has no consequences, and that training sessions for clubs are too long and not intense enough.

There have not been notable changes to the women’s league here, and Bell’s constant criticism is believed to have ruffled some feathers in the WK League
