Astros players avoid boastful talk, but gulf with Yankees becomes clear with a 3-0 ALCS lead

The Astros’ postseason has been dominant, there’s no doubting that. “We’re aware of the task at hand, and everybody’s ready.”Throughout the season, the Astros and Yankees were the class of the American League. So I don’t think about being dominant. But it’s almost as though the Astros don’t want to really acknowledge the obvious. “We know there’s going to be ups and downs throughout the postseason because we’re playing against such great teams,” Houston third baseman Alex Bregman said.

Time-wasters, beware: 60-minute matches, kick-ins and other proposals to end time-wasting

Kinnear’s current bugbear is the time the ball is in play during Premier League games. AdvertisementAhead of hosting Aston Villa at the start of this month, Kinnear described the dark arts of time-wasting as “antithetical to everything that has made Premier League football loved across the globe”. Two Premier League games, a day apart and a 24-minute difference for what they call “ball in play time”. “If you look at the statistics today, you see that there are teams that play 52 minutes, others that play 43 minutes and others that play 58 minutes. However, the overall trend shows that the amount of time the ball is in play during Premier League matches is in decline.

Yankees’ anemic offense has them facing another ALCS defeat to Astros

It’s why the Yankees are facing an Astros sweep Sunday night and why it would be stunning if New York mounts an improbable comeback. The Yankees registered five hits in Game 1, four in Game 2 and three in Game 3 — two of those hits in Saturday’s game came with two outs and the Yankees down 5-0. Here’s what Cole said when asked what makes the Astros such a difficult team to face:“Their ability to hit good pitches,” Cole said. These are good pitches and they’re putting good swings on them regardless of if they’re over the plate or not. For the Yankees, a good at-bat is working a deep count before what’s often been a strikeout.

The Packers’ season has become a disaster, so what’s next in Green Bay?

They have two recent third-round picks in tight end Josiah Deguara and wide receiver Amari Rodgers who contribute little. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Packers hadn’t gone a full game without converting a third down themselves since Week 6 of the 1999 season. What they have been is a bad football team. Forget all the talk about the Packers needing a wide receiver such as Chase Claypool or Jerry Jeudy or Odell Beckham Jr. Time will tell, but it will take a lot of changes to put out the seemingly uncontrollable dumpster fire that has engulfed the Packers’ season.

How Blue Jackets’ Daniil Tarasov’s calmness led to big win over Rangers

On Friday, Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen refused to discuss the play of goaltender Elvis Merzlikins after a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. It should be said, too, that the Blue Jackets were much more successful at keeping the Rangers’ shot attempts from the perimeter. Advertisement“It was awesome to see,” Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski said. “Just by body language and how he’s making saves, absolutely.”The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, kept chipping away at Rangers backup goaltender Jaroslav Halak. The Blue Jackets were holding on to a 3-1 lead well into the third before Robinson and Johnson scored 44 seconds apart to seal it.

Isaac Hayden gives Norwich City ‘grit and experience’ in first start of 2022

Having split into their position groups and then into pairs, Isaac Hayden stopped his passes with fellow central midfielder Marcelino Nunez and started the instructions. AdvertisementIn this case, Hayden took the lead, gesturing where Nunez would need to operate and how that would connect with him. Hayden, 27, imparting his thoughts verbally and demonstrating his experience on the pitch was an obvious positive from an erratic afternoon. “Isaac came in and did what it says on the tin. “So to have Isaac, especially with Kenny (McLean suspended), adds a bit of grit and experience.
