World Series - English
Yoshinobu Yamamoto - English
This week, the MLB Division Series matchups will be played. The Los Angeles Dodgers overcame the Wild Card Round after defeating the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, October 1, by a score of 8-4. Dave Roberts and company know that they have enough weapons to continue their march towards the World Series, however, the upcoming opponent represents one of their greatest fears.
As a summary of the game, Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out nine and worked into the seventh inning for Los Angeles, who scored four times in the sixth inning to beat Cincinnati. A day after hitting five home runs to tie the franchise record in the playoffs and win 10-5 in the first game of the Wild Card Series, the Dodgers eliminated the Reds with short hits and a total of 13 hits.

Dodgers face Phillies, one of the favorites to win the World Series
Heavyweight duel. Los Angeles clashes with Philadelphia coming in as a dark horse, as the Phillies – at least on paper – are favorites to win this series. The last time they met in the postseason (2009), it was The Fightins who sent the Dodgers 4 games to 1 in the National League Championship Series, just as they did the year before.
However, the Dodgers at that time did not have figures such as Shohei Ohtani, who would clearly make a big difference. But again, the numbers support Philadelphia, as the star-studded Phillies, who finished with 96 wins and defeated the Dodgers two weeks ago, are ready for October and will be looking forward to it after having a first-round bye.
Their best-of-five National League Division Series could easily become the World Series, knowing that whoever wins should be the favorite for the rest of October. The Dodgers won’t say it publicly, but just like a year ago, when they beat the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series before sweeping through October, they believe this could be their World Series.
Dave Roberts shows confidence in Roki Sasaki
Manager Dave Roberts said afterwards: “I think we can win it all. I think we’re equipped to do that. We certainly have the pedigree. We certainly have the hunger. We’re playing great baseball. And quite honestly, I don’t care who we play against. I just want to be the last team standing.” In addition, the manager will bring a little surprise for the game against the Phillies.
They will bring in a 23-year-old rookie who had never pitched a game as a reliever in his life until a few weeks ago, and suddenly has been anointed as their closer, just in time for the powerful Phillies. Say hello to Roki Sasaki, who pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning in the Dodgers’ 8-4 victory, throwing 11 pitches, nine strikes, with nine fastballs reaching at least 100 mph, answering the Dodgers’ prayers with their bullpen in trouble.
“I trust him, and he’s going to pitch with an advantage,” said the head coach, who could not even imagine saying those words a week ago. “The more you pitch and the more you put to play, the more you learn. I don’t think the moment is too important for Roki,” said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

“Vinicius desmanteló al Villarreal”
Un gol; otro con penaltito provocado (o fabricado) por él; su marcador, Mouriño, expulsado por dos amarillas; y otro penalti que pudo caer, por derribo del meta Arnau Tenas. Ese fue el saldo de Vinicius en el partido ante el Villarreal, un equipo de mucho calado que sin esa gran noche del brasileño podría haber hecho un roto en el Bernabéu.Salió con el plan de hacer el partido largo para buscarlo en la segunda parte con su mejor delantero, Mikautadze, reservado de salida. Por parte del Madrid, Xabi Alonso sacó a Valverde de lateral derecho, pelillos a la mar, y dejó fuera de nuevo a Bellingham, segunda rectificación en una semana del equipo que sacó ante el Atlético. El Bernabéu le mantiene un voto de confianza a pesar de la goleada del Metropolitano: no les recibió ni a él ni […]
“Del árbitro no hablo, que venga el CTA y que decida”
Marcelino García Toral, entrenador del Villarreal, aseguró que "no" le gustó "nada" el arbitraje de Guillermo Cuadra, quien señaló un penalti en su contra y expulsó a Santiago Mouriño por dos cartulinas amarillas, a la vez que insistió en que "no" iba a entrar a analizar cada jugada pero sí, con una sonrisa, se mostró irónico al decir que "algo pudo pasar".Marcelino inició su rueda de prensa siendo cuestionado por el arbitraje: "No sé. No voy a hablar del árbitro", respondió, aunque fue insistido por ello. Y, tras declarar, que "no" le gustó "nada el arbitraje" fue cuestionado sobre las palabras previas de Santi Comesaña , quien sí criticó directamente al árbitro y aseguró que "si ya es difícil ganar en el Santiago Bernabéu", con las decisiones del colegiado es "aún más difícil"."Es su opinión. Aunque me hagáis 200 preguntas […]
“Los penaltis los seguirá tirando Kylian, pero hoy han decidido entre ellos”
Xabi Alonso atendió a los medios de comunicación tras la importante victoria que logró el Real Madrid frente al Villarreal en el estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Un doblete de Vinicius y un tanto de Mbappé, que sigue siendo fiel a su cita con el gol, permite al club blanco marcharse al parón de selecciones con algo de tranquilidad tras la duro derrota en el Metropolitano. Sin embargo, sobre el tintero quedan aún muchos temas que tratar, como la posición de Valverde sobre el césped, una que le hace volar jugando de lateral aunque él piense que no ha nacido para ello.Así las cosas, si Valverde decidió aclarar públicamente que no se había negado a jugar de lateral es porque, sea verdad o mentira, entendió que era necesario aclarar algo. "Muy buen partido. Siempre está dispuesto para jugar donde le toque y ha […]

Miami vs. FSU live updates: Follow latest from today’s Week 6 college football game
Erich Ladwig: I don't know what a better feeling is... Knowing wholeheartedly that your team is going to walk into your biggest rivalry game and win convincingly or the excitement surrounding an unpredictable powderkeg of a game you know is going to be huge. That's my predicament one year apart in the Miami/FSU rivalry.Part of me wants to believe that Miami will walk into Doak Campbell Stadium and leave no doubt, akin to their wins over USF and Florida. But there is a part of me that agrees with Coach Cristobal, that FSU is physical and more talented than a year ago. The proof is there: Florida State has a much more capable offense than the Gators. And even Florida was able to make the game against UM interesting for a spell.I think Florida State will score more often than […]
