 Five wins and a 0.96 ERA. If there's one pitcher in the major leagues who's been on the rise this season, it's Shota Imanaga (Chicago Cubs). Imanaga started a game against the Atlanta Braves on April 14 and had a rough outing, giving up seven hits and three walks over five innings, but he was able to get out of the jam and keep the game scoreless. Although he didn't get the win, as his team lost 0-2, he did get his ERA back down to zero. At this point, it seems like Imanaga should be a lock for the National League Rookie of the Year award, as well as a frontrunner in the Cy Young Award race. However, the experts have a different opinion. On Thursday, MLB.com released the results of its mock Cy Young Award voting for both leagues. The poll was conducted by 41 participants, who each voted for five pitchers from both leagues, giving them five points for first place, four points for second place, three points for third place, three points for fourth place, two points for f

  Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has given himself a pat on the back for his side's second-half comeback. According to European soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Pochettino smiled and clapped during his pre-match press conference against Brighton on Thursday (ET) when a reporter said, “Since Dec. 26, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have more points than Chelsea,” and Pochettino smiled and clapped. He then pumped his fists and pointed his index fingers to the sky in self-congratulation. Pochettino arrived at Chelsea ahead of this season. After a disastrous 12th-place finish in the league last season under Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, the Blues were looking to rebound by bringing in Pochettino, who had previously achieved considerable success in the Premier League with Tottenham. They also spent a lot of money in the transfer market. They brought in Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. Both players also broke the Premier League transfer

 SSG Landers left-hander Oh Won-seok lived up to his manager's expectations with his best pitch of the season. On Thursday, he started the fourth game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League against the Samsung Lions at SSG Landers Field in Incheon, South Korea, and pitched six innings of two-hit ball with two walks and seven strikeouts to earn his third win of the season in the team's 9-2 victory.

It had been 214 days since he had a quality start (six innings or more and three earned runs or less) since Oct. 13 last year against the Literature Kiwoom Heroes.  He threw 88 pitches, with the fewest in the second and third innings (eight or more).

Won-seok Oh suffered his second loss of the season in his previous outing on Aug. 8 against the LG Twin

  Ederson was surprised to see Rodri missing from the Premier League (PL) Player of the Year nominations. Manchester City will host Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Friday at 4 p.m. ET in the 34th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (PL) season. City is second in the league with 85 points, while Tottenham is fifth with 63 points. “Ederson said it was unacceptable that Rodriguez was not in the running for the PL Player of the Year award,” ESPN reported on Thursday. Rodriguez is City's “win fairy. He hasn't lost in his last 48 league games (39 wins and nine draws). The three defeats they have suffered this season came when he was suspended. Rodri's influence on the team is evident. It is the centerpiece of Pep Guardiola's tactics. He distributes the ball from the center of the pitch and is quick to switch from side to side. He has played 2,757 minutes in the league this season, the most in the team. Thanks to his performances,

  If he is forced out of Manchester United, he won't suffer too much. "Inter Milan are interested in signing Anthony Martial (28, Manchester United) on a free transfer this summer," Italian outlet Calciomercato reported on Tuesday. Marcial joined United in 2015 from AS Monaco. United paid a record £57.6 million ($94.4 million) for the then-19-year-old because of his potential. The signing was a disappointment. Marcial's development at United gradually slowed down. He was plagued by injuries, big and small, and his potential slowly faded. Last season was no different. Marcial was constantly plagued by nagging injuries. A disappointing stat line of nine goals and three assists in 29 games. This season was no different. In fact, his place in the team was even narrowed by Rasmus Höjlund (21). He only started five games in the league, and injuries  안전놀이터 effectively ended his season prematurely. A farewell to Manchester United this summer is more of a foregone conclusion.
