Toronto Blue Jays - English
Now the Yankees are in a losing streak, now the critics can ramble on about the situation of the team. There will be talk of how Aaron Boone has to handle a crisis once again, of how some areas suddenly went cold, or of how players start to voice their concerns, like Jazz Chisholm. They just they went 0-3 in a series against Toronto and the Bahamian couldn’t contain his emotions in the second loss yesterday.
Chisholm delivered a candid message to manager Aaron Boone regarding the switch to third base he’s submitted to the last month. Since returning from IL, the Yankees player hasn’t been the choice for his natural position in Boone’s lineups. The Bahamian simply voiced his identity as a natural second baseman, yet the conversation sparked major headlines in MLB circles.
Shohei Ohtani distances himself from the Dodgers in a move that fans feel too relatable
Jazz’s fielding struggles fielding struggles
Chisholm’s officious move to third base hasn’t gone smoothly. His .949 fielding percentage, -4 outs above average, and meager 64% success rate project a concerning trend. During the July 1st matchup against Toronto, he misplayed a slow tapper and produced an errant throw, inginitng a late inning rally for the Blue Jays that turned the Yankees’ lead into a 12-5 drubbing.
Despite batting success, ranking second in OPS (.833) behind AL VMP frontrunner Aaron Judge, defensive woes at the third bag have become too glaring to ignore. Chisholm’s discomfort was evident when he reminded reporters, “everyone knows I’m a second baseman”.
Chisholm shows discomfort on position switch
The change came after D.J. Lemahieu cemented his role at second, and the team touted Chisholm’s arm as a fit for third, but the Bahamian didn’t sugarcoat the move. “I know I’m better at second base…but…I still have to play third. I just have to deal with it”, he voiced in the locker room. Despite his displeasure, he emphasized team-first professionalism, like he has since arriving to the Yankees.
Aaron Boone defended the decision attributing recent errors to Jazz’s inexperience on artificial turf. The New York manager said unfamiliar hops at Rogers Centre impacted his timing and rythm. Boone sure showed support for his player, plus it’s been said that the team may be looking for third base reinforcements with the trade deadline coming. A move like this could allow Chisholm to revert to his natural second baseman role, while solidifying the hot corner.
What’s next for Chisholm and the Yankees?
Will Chisholm stay at third base, embracing the challenge? Or will the Yankees acquire a veteran third baseman to realign roles? How will Boone manage locker room cohesion during this logistical shift. Lots of questions to be answered.One thing is clear: the Yankees’ defensive strategy and Boone’s adaptability will be under close scrutiny.

Michigan State HC Tom Izzo: Jeremy Fears Jr. ‘As Good As Any Guard I’ve Had’
Jeremy Fears Jr. is off to a spectacular start for the Michigan State Spartans on both ends of the floor, and it shows in the box score.Over Michigan State's last two games, Fears has totaled 26 points, 24 assists and five steals, and the redshirt sophomore guard has caught head coach Tom Izzo's attention."I'm never satisfied. I think his defense can be a little better because I think he's an absolute dog defensively, meaning he'll dog you. Not a dog in a bad way. He can get after you. He's a pitbull in that when he wants to be," Izzo said about Fears after Michigan State's win over Detroit Mercy on Friday night. "Now we're getting him a little rest, 28-29 minutes [per game] is probably perfect if we can do that because he's got to push the ball, he's […]
Sparta zdržovala, mínila Boleslav. Vítej v mém světě, řekl Priske kolegovi
Boleslavský trenér Aleš Majer, který byl v hodně chladném odpoledni do utkání tak ponořen, že koučoval jen ve svetru, se u postranní čáry několikrát chytal za hlavu. Sparťanský kouč Brian Priske se pak dostal do výměny názorů s domácí lavičkou a po utkání si vše vyříkával s vedoucím domácího mužstva Markem Matějovským.Reakce aktérů? „Bylo to úplně v pohodě. Nešlo o nic zásadního. Říkali jsme si (s trenérem Priskem - pozn. aut.) něco k tomu, že Sparta hrála v závěru pomalu. On mi to totiž vytýkal po zápase na Spartě, že po 80. minutě za stavu 2:2 jsme pomalu rozehrávali. Říkal jsem mu, že tady je to to samé,“ vylíčil Majer.Zmínka o tom, že zdržovali, hosty nenechala v klidu. „Nepřijeli jsme sem zdržovat utkání. To nikdy není náš záměr, naopak my jsme ten tým, který chce držet tempo utkání. Ale když máte pět minut do konce, vedete o gól, hráči jsou pod tlakem a mají zodpovědnost […]

What now for England after Ashes implosion in Perth?
You head into an intimidating environment with hopes of success and then it goes so epically, spectacularly badly.No, we are not referring to Monty Panesar's appearance on Celebrity Mastermind back in 2019, which made a surprise entry into an eventful Ashes build-up as the former England spinner became embroiled in a spat with current Australia batter Steve Smith Instead, we are talking about England's fortunes in the first Test. As you surely know by now, that match didn't end well for them. It didn't start well for them either (172 all out inside 33 overs on day one) but at lunch on day two they had wrestled control: leading Australia by 99 runs with nine second-innings wickets in hand. Two and half hours later, they had somehow lost, through their own errors and the unbridled brilliance of makeshift opener Travis […]
