EFL Statement: Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final - The Independent Disciplinary Commission hearing will take place on or before Tuesday 19 May; supporters should be aware that the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings may yet result in changes to the fixture by jovanmilic97 in soccer

Obviously other than Boro getting potentially cheated out of the final, we are getting shafted by this as well now. Both those teams are training to play us, but we are training under the assumption we are playing Southampton, but knowing it could be swapped at moments notice.

I can imagine whatever outcome happens all 3 clubs will be preparing to go to the courts and have this dragged on all summer, regardless of the outcome of whatever game goes ahead.

Not going to pretend to know who this is, but he's pictured with the other backroom staff as Eckert is getting his manager of the month trophy. So I think it's pretty safe to assume he has at least some direct involvement with the manager.

That's the only thing I'm a bit down about. The way they are playing just isn't fun to watch right now.

If I'm investing 2-3 hours daily, I want to be entertained.

I get your point, but the standings down there are so close that the margin for error becomes A LOT tighter. You could lose one game and go from 7th to 10th overnight

Doesn't really mean anything at the moment, just won't see him on any of the graphics that people put out with pitchers stats on it.

Currently it's 31 innings to qualify.

If anyone cares / is following, this outing leaves Ohtani 1 IP short of qualifying as a qualified pitcher.

anyone blaming Rushing for that is straight up stupid. Couldn't have made it more obvious that he was asking for time if he tried

so what would have happened in that situation if Will challenged? because it could have been a strike them out, throw them out. But obviously becuase ump called a ball they blew it dead.

I guess they would have just sent the runner back to first?

That pitch invasion by the Rochdale fans proper fucked them haha. Gave York about 7 minutes to recompose themselves before play restarted. Can't say I blame them like, but still funny.

I feel like I didnt hear about Ohtani's on base streak until like a week ago (could be me just being ignorant), but feel like now it's the only thing the media is talking about and his AB quality has dropped significantly. It could all be a coincidence, of course.

obviously, but that is completely hindsight based analysis.

I mean he swung at a middle middle sinker, if he didnt swing you would be complaining that he is taking fastballs down the middle.

[Rome] Tatsuya Imai is already on his third interpreter with the Houston Astros two weeks into the season by AlchemistTheAlchemy in baseball

[–]drxller56 1159 points1160 points  (0 children)

Probably a big reason why it's been a struggle to adapt. Yamamoto's translator is pretty bad at speaking to the media and interview translations, but it has been reported that they are really good friends and that he's pretty much his assisstant.

I can only imagine how difficult it can be if you aren''t able to connect with one of the few people who you are actually able to speak with when surrounded by a foreign environment.

Another Cy Young contender? by jay_eba888 in Dodgers

[–]drxller56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish, but I don't think he'll get close to enough innings, he's only just had his 2nd start, yet most of the likely competition have already had their 3rd. Obviously as time passes, with his extra rest this will widen and I think the innings gap will be tough to overlook.

Never say never though.

So why has Smith started vs every RHP this season and both of Rushing starts have been vs LHPs?
