Cal Raleigh’s Clutch 10th-Inning Homer Seals Mariners’ Victory over Blue Jays
Cal Raleigh homers in extras, Mariners beat Blue Jays
April 10th, 2024
The Seattle Mariners were in desperate need of a hero, and Cal Raleigh answered their call. After a disappointing string of losses and a lackluster performance on their road trip, the Mariners were looking for someone to step up and stop the bleeding. And that’s exactly what Raleigh did.
In the 10th inning of Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Raleigh delivered a clutch two-run homer to give the Mariners a much-needed 6-1 victory. It was a game-changing moment that showcased Raleigh’s ability to perform under pressure.
Prior to that decisive swing of the bat, Seattle’s offense had struggled to generate runs throughout nine innings. But when it mattered most, Raleigh came through with his trademark power and precision. His opposite-field home run put the Mariners ahead by two runs and ultimately sealed their triumph.
“In this ballpark, really against the Blue Jays, Cal Raleigh has been fantastic,” praised manager Scott Servais. “I don’t know what the career numbers look like, but there’s a bunch of home runs in there.”
Raleigh has consistently been a thorn in the side of the Blue Jays’ pitching staff. With his go-ahead homer in extra innings on Wednesday, he added another chapter to his impressive track record against Toronto. In fact, this was his ninth

3 highly controversial situations in the match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich
The Champions League quarter-final first leg match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich left behind fiercely controversial situations from players of both teams.
Arsenal player picks up the ball in the penalty area
In the 67th minute of the match when the score was 2-1 for Bayern, Arsenal inexplicably escaped a penalty when a home team player picked up the ball in the penalty area with his hand.
Specifically, after receiving a pass from goalkeeper David Raya, Gabriel Magalhaes picked up the ball and placed it inside the 5m50 box. Immediately, many Bayern players ran towards referee Glenn Nyberg to request a penalty. However, the referee refused.

Atletico Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg played at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
The Dušekchii played a very solid first half in which they took an early lead through Rodrigo de Paul. The world champion took advantage of a crazy mistake in the defense of Borussia to carry the ball and scored in the fourth minute.
Atlético’s tactics lacked the usual home pressure. Instead, the game of the Spaniards was more like the suffocating grip of a large snake that gradually suffocates its victim. The Germans looked clueless and even pathetic at times, with no clear plan of what to do in the final third of the pitc

Atlético Madrid has already forgotten to eliminate Dortmund: the return match will still be shaky for Axel Witsel’s (and Arthur Vermeeren’s) team
Atlético Madrid has already forgotten to eliminate Dortmund: the return match will still be shaky for Axel Witsel’s (and Arthur Vermeeren’s) team
Atlético Madrid deservedly beat Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday evening (2-1), although it became emotional in the final phase. The energetic team of Axel Witsel (and Arthur Vermeeren) will still have to work hard next week.
Coach Diego Simeone had sent his fiery players onto the pitch, as usual. After just four minutes the Spaniards punished a terrible mistake by Gregor Kobel. The Dortmund goalkeeper, who ultimately played a great game, caused problems for his left-back Ian Maatsen by making him play while he was under heavy pressure. Result: loss of ball and 0-1, signed Rodrigo de Paul.

After more than half an hour, Dortmund’s defense lent a hand again. Nico Schlotterbeck processed a throw-in poorly, allowing in-form man Antoine Griezmann to collect the ball and Samuel Lino, almost the successor to Yannick Carrasco who also plays right-footed on the left flank, to make it 2-0.
Meanwhile the Germans had barely managed to counterattack. Only on the stroke of half-time did Atlético goalkeeper Jan Oblak fall for the first time from a narrow shot from Maatsen, the Dortmund left-back who had impressed under Vincent Kompany at Burnley last year.
In the second half Atléti could have finished several times, but Simeone’s men also fell further and further back. About ten minutes before the end, substitute Sébastien Haller managed to score the goal of hope for Dortmund and it got really emotional after that. It will be the same in Dortmund next week.

Kim Min-jae Faces Uncertain Future at Bayern Munich: Manchester United Transfer Rumors Swirl
Star News Reporter Lee Won-hee | 2024.04.11 12:30
Minjae Kim. /AFPBBNews=News1 Kim Min-jae (right) concentrates on the game. /AFPBBNews=News1Korea monster defender Kim Min-jae (28) is competing for a tough starting spot. Last year he wore the uniform of the big German club Bayern Munich, but rumors of a shocking transfer are swirling a year later.
Germany’s FCB Inside quoted Kicker’s report on the 11th (Korea time) and said, “At the moment there are at least four players with question marks about their suitability for the Munich squad. One of them is Alphonso Davis,” adding , “In addition to Davis, defenders Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae are also available.” “They are on the list. Both players have recently lost their starting positions and are receiving critical evaluation.”
This is not the only story about Kim Min-jae’s transfer. German Sport also claimed that Kim Min-jae was not on good terms with coach Thomas Tuchel and that he predicted he could leave Munich in a year.
Kim Min-jae, who led his former team Napoli (Italy) to the league championship last season, went to Munich last year. But I’m going through a difficult time recently. At the start of the season, he served as a key member of the team and led the defence. Kim Min-jae’s continued participation in games led to controversy over overuse. However, things have changed a lot after Kim Min-jae visited Qatar Asian Cup 2023. Munich recruited Eric Dier, who played for Tottenham

THE 2015 NBA FINALS INAUGURATE THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD OF CHALLENGES BETWEEN CLEVELAND AND THE GOLDEN STATE – SportHistoria
Warriors celebrate 2015 title – from:abcnews.go.com
Article by Giovanni Manenti
Rivalry, as we know, is the “Sports Halls”, both in individual disciplines – Tennis and Boxing above all – and in team disciplines, a very heartfelt circumstance too overseas where, in the panorama of US professional sports, there are real challenges to the white heatwhile respecting the principles of loyalty…
Today we are dealing with NBA basketball, the most prestigious tournament in the worldwhere the greatest essence has long been constituted by comparison between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, franchises that hold the record for the highest number of Finals played between them, 12 (!!), with a gap of successes clearly in favor (9-3) of the Bostonians.
But, despite the fact that this challenge took place on six occasions during the 1960s, it has never occurred that the two quintets have faced each other more than two years in a row, even though it was staged three times (1962-’63, 1965-’66 and 1968-’69) in that decade…
A somewhat similar situation then occurred between the Lakers and the New York Knicks, who came to compete for the title three times (1970 and 1972-’73) in a four-year periodlike what happened in early ’80s (1980 and 1982-’83) still between the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ersbut only in very recent times has there been a situation of absolute domination of two teams in the respective (Eastern and Western) Conferences, that is the Cleveland Cavaliers on the East Coast and the Golden State Warriors on the western one.
The history of the two franchises is curious, in some ways parallel i Warriors – despite having been founded in 1946 – they were initially stationed at Philadelphia, with whom they played three finals for the title, winning the same in 1947 and 1956 and being defeated in 1948, before moving to San Francisco in 1962reaching the Finals on two other occasions only to be beaten in 1964 and 1967, before assuming its current name (while maintaining its headquarters in San Francisco…) starting in 1971…
Year following the establishment of Cleveland Cavaliers, a franchise which, moreover, writes few pages of history in the US basketball panorama – at most two defeats in the Conference Finals in 1976 and 1992 – at least until the advent of “His Majesty“, that is to say “The King” LeBron James, he “home boy” as he was born on 30 December 1984 in Akton, a city of just under 200 thousand inhabitants located 40 miles south of Cleveland.
Joined the Cavaliers as first overall pick in the 2003 draft, James manages to make a change for the franchise, which arrives to play the championship for the first time Final for the title in 2007, despite literally coming “swept away” by Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs 4-0only to be defeated 2-4 by the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals two years later…
Realizing that I couldn’t aspire to win the title, “The chosen One” (that is to say “The chosen one”) is guilty of the “betrayal” to move to the Miami Heat, with whom, forming a deadly trio with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, reached as many NBA Finals in a four-year period (2011-’14), winning the ring in two consecutive seasons (2012-’13).
Having gotten what he wanted, it’s time for 30-year-old James to

Tickets for Wednesday’s game in “Arena Riga” are almost sold out, and the teams will meet again on Thursday.
The Latvian national team can be supplemented by about 20 more hockey players, including those playing in the National Hockey League (NHL).
“In the test games, we will be able to see how many problems there will be in our game, whether we will need to bring one of the hockey players, or we can wait for our top players,” says Vītoliņš about the possible additions to the team. He confirmed that there are quite a few players who are still waiting.
The team includes several young hockey players from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship, and they positively impressed in the games with Austria.
Commenting on the performance of the young guys, Vītoliņš agreed that “all the young guys are trying and surprised”. He emphasized that most of them had not yet been seen in adult hockey, but they are focused, full of energy and quickly understand what is wanted from them.
“Everyone showed themselves well, and everyone is still in the team,” says the coach, arguing that the transoceanic environment, where there is a queue for every hockey player’s place, forces you to play both training and games at full capacity, otherwise someone else will take your place.
Commenting on the possible joining of Columbus “Blue Jackets” goalkeeper and Buffalo “Sabres” striker Zemgus Girgensons, Vītoliņš confirmed that “we want to see Zemgus and Elvi” in the national team.
“Zemgum does not have a contract for the next season. We will see if he wants to go. After the main tournament, we will call about his further vision. We are ready to buy tick

This Monday’s solar eclipse in North America left images that went viral on social networks, not only because of the way the phenomenon was seen in the different cities where it could be seen, but also because of the reactions of people, including several celebrities, like the star of the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes.

Her little girl raised her head to look at the sky, but she didn’t have glasses on, so her father quickly went towards her to prevent her from seeing the Moon hiding the sun.
“Don’t look, Sterling!” Patrick Mahomes shouted, as he ran to stand with his arms outstretched in front of the girl and blo
