Despite 2 hits and 3 RBIs, the team lost 5-17.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (32) shook off concerns about a hand injury and hit a home run.
Judge started as center fielder three times in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) home game against Baltimore held at Yankee Stadium in New York, USA on June 21, 2024, and played an active part with 2 hits and 3 RBIs in 3 at-bats, including his 27th home run of the season.

In the 3rd inning, trailing 1-8, with 2 outs and runners on first base, Judge properly caught opposing starter Cole Irvin’s fastball and crossed the right-center wall.
Yankees fans applauded the main hitter’s home run while the team was far behind.

In particular, the fans’ reaction was even more enthusiastic because it was a home run that Judge overcame concerns about injury.

Aaron Judge injured the back of his hand in the game against Baltimore.

Judge was hit by a ball on the back of his hand during the game against Baltimore on the 19th.

Judge, who entered as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the third inning, was hit on his left hand by a 94.1 mph four-seam fastball thrown by opposing starter Albert Suarez on a 1-2 count.
He played defense in the top of the 4th inning without being replaced, but was replaced by Trent Grisham as a pinch hitter in the offense in the bottom of the 4th.

Judge, who fortunately avoided injuries such as fractures in the post-game examination, took a day off from the game on the 20th and returned to the starting lineup that day.
Following his home run in the 3rd inning, Judge showed off his normal batting ability by scoring an RBI in the bottom of the 5th inning with a hit to left.

Judge, who led the league in home runs with his 27th hit of the season, also raised his batting average to 0.306 and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) to 1.128.

Yankees rout

Despite Judge’s performance, the Yankees suffered a crushing defeat due to the poor performance of starter Lewis Hill, who is also considered a candidate for Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award this season.
Hill collapsed early on, allowing 8 hits and 7 runs in 1.1 innings.

Hill suffered his second loss instead of his 10th win of the season, and his ERA soared to 2.77.
Even after attacking Hill early on, Baltimore attacked the Yankees’ bullpen, scoring 19 hits and winning 17-5.

SON racism issue calls for Tottenham investigation over Bentancur report

A new variable has emerged in an atmosphere where Son Heung-min (Tottenham) racism is buried as it is. An international anti-discrimination organization officially raised the issue after receiving several reports.

“Kick it out,” which fights for the withdrawal of discrimination in the sports world, said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), “We have received a significant number of reports on Rodrigo Bentancur’s comments about Son Heung-min, his Tottenham teammate. The report has already been delivered to the club and the relevant authorities.”

British public broadcaster BBC also reported on this. 안전놀이터 and BBC reported that the anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out said it had received a significant number of complaints about Bentancur’s racist slur on teammate Son Heung-min.

Kick It Out said: ‘We acknowledge Bentancur has admitted wrongdoing.

“However, this is an issue that has a significant impact on East Asia and the wider community. We will continue to work to address this wide range of issues next season. Report it if you see or hear it,” he said, stressing that he would never let the issue of racism slide.

Tottenham’s Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur made racist remarks on his own TV show on Saturday. He told the host to save Son’s uniform that they (Orients) look the same, so they wouldn’t know even if they brought their cousins. Bentancur apologized on social media saying it was a bad joke. BBC, Guardian, Reuters, ESPN and other foreign media reported it in unison. BBC called it a racist curse.

Tottenham have done nothing since the incident.

This is why fans shouted so loudly. Tottenham continuously posted content on its website and SNS account. The performance of its players at Euro 2024 and major schedules of the 2024-2025 Premier League were disclosed. However, these posts have turned into online battlegrounds for fans. There were conflicting opinions between those who demanded the elimination of racism and Bentancourt’s apology.

Paul O’Keefe, an agent known to be well-versed in Tottenham’s internal news, pointed out, “Even if the club intervenes, we will not necessarily inform it outside.”

Meanwhile, Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women’s University defined it as obvious racism, saying, “This is a statement that Asian faces, including Son Heung-min, all look similar, and the media mainly used to disparage Asians in Europe and South America.”

E-mail calls for tough punishment for Bentancur

Professor Seo said, “This is a remark that blasphemes not only Son Heung-min but also the entire Asian community. As a result, I immediately sent a complaint to the EPL Secretariat and all EPL clubs including Tottenham.”

In an e-mail, he called for strong punishment for Bentancur. At the same time, he called for a commitment to prevent a recurrence.

Model Hye-bak acted ahead of Professor Seo.

He directly commented on Bentancourt’s SNS. Hye-bak politely protested, saying, “After watching your interview on racism, I got a negative image of you. Such generalization is harmful and rude. Even dismissing it as just a joke was inappropriate. If you want to sincerely apologize, apologize politely and sincerely. I hope you will learn from this incident and don’t make the same mistake again.”

The Dodgers said on the 14th (Korea Standard Time) that they received left-hander Jose Hernandez from Pittsburgh and made a cash-giving trade.

The Dodgers placed right-hander Ryan Brazier, who was on the injured list (IL) on the 60-day IL on the 15th due to a calf injury to register Hernandez on the 40-man list.

Hernandez is a left-handed bullpen pitcher. He signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers in 2016 as an international contractor, but failed to make a big league debut after going through the rookie league to Double A. Eventually, he was released by the Dodgers, and moved to Pittsburgh in 2022 after the Rule 5 draft.

Since his Major League debut in April last year with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he played in 50 ⅔, recording one win, three losses, five holds, and an ERA of 4.97 in 50 games. In seven games this season, he has one win, one loss, one save, and an ERA of 3.38 in five ⅓.

It is back to the Dodgers in three years since 2021. MLBTR said, “The Dodgers will have Hernandez play in Triple-A.” 사설 토토사이트

In the minor league this season, he pitched in seven games, marking one win and one loss, 3.38 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in five ⅓.

This is not the first time that the Dodgers has made a trade. It brought Cavan Biggio, a super utility man, to the Toronto Blue Jays the previous day. In return, he gave some cash to pitcher Brayden Fisher. Biggio started the game for two consecutive days and only had one hit in four times at bat.

Last month, he brought in another bullpen pitcher, Johan Ramirez. He gave cash to the New York Mets.

Kim Ha-sung started as a shortstop and sixth batter in a home game at Petco Park in San Diego, California, against Oakland on the 13th (Korea time). He played as the eighth and ninth batters in every game last month, and returned to the sixth batter on the day after his OPS (on-base plus slugging) improved to 0.938 in the last 16 games.

Kim Ha-sung’s first at-bat on the day came in the bottom of the second inning in an attack. Entering the batter’s box with a no-out runner at first base, Kim targeted a changeup with four pitches and 81.2 miles (131 kilometers) with the ball count at one ball and two strikes against Hogan Heris (28), the starting pitcher of the opposing team, but was out after hitting a fly ball to the left field.

The second at-bat took place in the bottom of the fourth inning. Coming into the batter’s box with a two-out runner at first base, Kim hit a four-seam fastball with five pitches and 92.8 miles (149 kilometers) in three balls and one strike against Heris, the same pitcher from his opponent team, but he grounded out to shortstop and was forced out as a fielder. 토토사이트 추천

His third at-bat on the day came in the bottom of the seventh inning in an attack. Kim Ha-sung, the leadoff hitter, hit a four-seam fastball with six pitches and 92.4 miles (about 149 kilometers) after a full count match against Danny Jimenez, 31, the pitcher whose opponent team has changed, but he was out after hitting a ground ball in front of the second baseman.

Kim Ha-sung’s fourth at-bat was made in the bottom of the ninth inning. Entering the batter’s box as a leadoff hitter, Kim hit six pitches and 102.1 miles of four-seam fastball against Mason Miller (26), who had a ball count of two balls and one strike, but was grounded out in front of the second baseman.

Kim Ha-sung, who had no hit in four times at bat on the day, saw his batting average for this season slightly decline to 0.222. San Diego won the game 5-4 against Oakland thanks to a walk-off home run by San Diego outfielder Jackson Merrill (21) in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Will Gunner Henderson (23, Baltimore Orioles), who won the Rookie of the Year award in the American League last year, make a historic season? He will try to hit 50 home runs as a shortstop.

Henderson recorded a batting average of 0.274, 21 homers, 46 RBIs, 55 runs scored, 69 hits, and a 0.375 OPS 0.974 in 65 games of the season until the 12th (Korea time).

This is 51 home runs pace. He has 50 home runs in shortstop so far. Alex Rodriguez in 2001 and 2002. He hit 52 home runs and 57 home runs, respectively.

In other words, Henderson is aiming for 50th homerun as shortstop for the first time in 22 years since Rodriguez in 2002. This is the third record in Major League history.

Shortstop is the core of infield defense. As such, physical burden is huge. Mookie Betts, who moved to shortstop, saw his batting performance drop suddenly compared to the beginning of the season.

Henderson has shown great performance on base and defense, and at the same time boasts remarkable slugging capability. He has already reached three-quarters of the 28 home runs he recorded in 150 games last year. 토토사이트 순위

Henderson, who is in his third year in the Major League, won the utility silver slugger and the Rookie of the Year at the same time with a batting average of 0.255, 28 homers and 82 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.325 OPS of 0.814 in 150 games last year.

Until last year, Henderson played shortstop and third baseman. Last year, he played 77 games at shortstop and 76 games at third base. However, this season, he played 64 games at shortstop and one game at designated hitter.

He completely changed his position to shortstop. This means that his defense burden has increased. However, Henderson’s batting performance has increased significantly compared to last year.

This is reflected not only in slugging power but also in the ratio of walks to strikeouts. Henderson struck out 159 while walking 56 times last year.

However, he has posted 37 walks/71 strikeouts as of Tuesday this season. The walk-and-strike ratio has improved significantly. This has led to a sharp improvement in the on-base percentage.

Attention is focusing on whether Henderson, who is becoming more and more complete, will be able to achieve his third shortstop 50 home run since Rodriguez in 2002.

In a home game against the Oakland Athletics of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the morning of the 13th (Korea time), Kim Ha-sung started as the sixth batter (striker) and had no hit in four times at bat. Kim’s batting average for this season fell from 0.226 to 0.222 (53 hits in 239 times at bat).

Kim Ha-sung stopped short of a fly ball to the left field in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, and his well-hit ball headed straight to the shortstop in the fourth inning. Kim Ha-sung also grounded out to the second base in his third at-bat in the seventh inning. Kim Ha-sung took the lead in the last opportunity of the ninth inning when the score was 4-4, but he was out due to a grounder in front of the second base. 토토사이트 추천

However, the San Diego Padres won 5-4 with Jackson Merrill’s walk-off home run over the right wall after one out in the ninth inning. The San Diego Padres won again on the day and swept all three consecutive games against the Oakland Athletics.

The U.S. local media “Dodgers Nation” reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that “Otani Shohei was selected as the best player of the game on this day by his teammates.”

The Athletic, a U.S. sports media outlet, announced the results of a survey of 100 active players from 18 MLB clubs on the 11th. As a result, 47 out of 102 surveyed, or 46 percent, chose Ohtani as the best player in MLB. The survey was conducted over two months from the spring training period before the opening of the season. 토토사이트 추천

At a home game against the Texas Rangers in the Major League Baseball at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, Ohtani hit a 169 km/h homerun from his first at bat in the bottom of the first inning. It was his 17th homer of this season.

Ohtani also fired a wedge two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning against Texas on the 12th, the previous day, and fired cannons for two consecutive days until the 13th.

In June, Ohtani seemed to falter briefly as the .OPS 1,000 mark collapsed. After hitting his 13th homerun of this season against the Cincinnati Reds on April 18, he remained silent for 10 games, before starting operation of the home run factory on the same day on June 30. He also smiled while firing flares of revival on June 12 and 13.

“About 46% of the voting pool selected Ohtani as the MVP,” the “The Athletic” said. “Some players had no choice but to admit Ohtani, but some players chose other answers (on purpose) out of fear that (the prediction) was too obvious.”

Ohtani, a Japanese pitcher and batter who entered the Major League by signing a contract with the Los Angeles Angels through the posting system in 2018, became the first free agent (FA) after the end of the last season.

In December last year, he signed a 10-year, 700 million-dollar contract with his current team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and changed his uniform. However, he is still only a hitter this season due to the aftermath of Tommy John Surgery meant for elbow ligament.

“Otani doesn’t pitch this season, but he spent a lot of time focusing on at-bats,” Dodgers Nation said. “He suffered a short slump due to injuries, but (Otani) can be better than ever.”

Pop star Ariana Grande is joining Weverse, a superfan platform owned by HYBE, an entertainment firm that manages K-Pop phenomenon BTS.

Here is what we know about Weverse and why more pop stars around the world are joining the app.

Weverse is an app that specializes in interaction between artists and fans. Artists on the app write posts, livestream and sell merchandise. HYBE described Weverse as a ‘super app’ that also offers machine translation in 15 languages.

When Jin, the oldest member of BTS, spoke to fans on Wednesday after finishing his 18-month-long military duty, his initial livestream crashed before resuming and racking up more than 2 million views in 10 minutes.

Released in 2019, the app had more than 10 million monthly active users on average in the third quarter of 2023, according to HYBE. Nine of 10 Weverse users are international.

Grande will join the app after signing a partnership with HYBE America, the entertainment firm said on Friday, without providing further details.

Her channel is yet to launch, and HYBE declined to confirm the opening date.

HYBE America, which also manages Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI, will also continue cooperation with Grande’s cosmetics brand R.E.M Beauty, the company added.

The new partnership comes after Billboard reported last year that Grande was parting ways with manager Scooter Braun, who she had been with since her debut in 2013. Braun is now the CEO of HYBE America after a $1.05 billion merger deal in 2021 between HYBE and the music executive’s Ithaca Holdings.

The announcement of Grande’s partnership was met with amusement from K-Pop fans online.

“Ariana unnie” one fan said on X, referring to her with a Korean honorific for older sister.

Japanese pop duo Yoasobi, who attended a state dinner at the White House with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in April, also opened their channel on Weverse earlier this month.

In a 2022 interview, Weverse President Joon Choi told Reuters that the platform’s users are “superfans characterised by passionate engagement.”

“They bought merch here, watched videos there, communicated elsewhere … We didn’t have a database of our customers. So, we began developing each service in-house,” he said in the interview.

The app’s growth comes against the backdrop of HYBE’s efforts to expand as a label including its acquisition of Exile Music, 안전 a music label of Spanish language media company Exile Content, in its first major foray into the Latin music market.

Taihan Cable & Solution (C&S) is under a police investigation for alleged theft of LS Cable & System’s (C&S) technologies to produce high-voltage submarine cables, according to industry officials, Friday.

The police recently raided Taihan C&S’ factory in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province, and Gaun Architects & Engineers in Seoul, which designed the factory. This came as Gaun is suspected of having leaked technologies it obtained from LS C&S while designing its factories between 2008 and 2023.

LS C&S said it will take legal action if the allegations turn out to be true. The company is one of the world’s six manufacturers of extra-high-voltage submarine cables, along with five other firms in Europe and Japan.

“If the industrial espionage is true, we will suffer irrevocable damage,” LS C&S said in a statement. “If the information about our 500-kilovolt high-voltage direct current submarine cable is leaked to other countries, it will have a negative impact on national security and the economy.”

Earlier this month, Taihan C&S began operating its No. 1 submarine cable factory in Dangjin after completing phase 1 of the plant’s 추천 construction. Police are reportedly investigating whether LS C&S’ technologies were utilized in the construction and operation of the factory.

LS C&S noted a potential technology leak when a single architecture firm oversees the design of factories for competing cable manufacturers. The company emphasized the seriousness with which it views Gaun’s contract with its competitor.

“For the architecture firm to design our submarine cable factory, we had to supply detailed information about our facilities,” LS C&S said. “The architecture firm knows all the history of our efforts to overcome difficulties and upgrade our factories to enhance efficiency.”

Taihan C&S said it is not a suspect in this case at the moment. It claimed that the recent police raid into its factory was intended to prove Gaun’s crimes.

“We chose the architecture firm through a competitive bid,” the company said in a statement. “The architecture firm did not handle the design of cable manufacturing equipment, as we tasked other domestic and foreign companies with producing and installing submarine cable manufacturing equipment in our No. 1 factory.”

Taihan C&S, the nation’s oldest cable maker, also emphasized its existing capabilities in manufacturing submarine cable equipment.
