As Dodgers starter Walker Buehler exits the game to be replaced by Brusdar Graterol, let’s take a look at the state of LA’s bullpen. Through the first two games, the Dodgers’ bullpen has been plenty effective. Through 7 1/3 innings, Dodgers relievers have allowed only two runs, each of which came in the ninth inning of Game 2.

The outcome of this snap election signals that Ishiba may face difficulties in getting his party’s policies passed in parliament. The LDP may have to form a new coalition with a third party. Such a phenomenon raises uncertainties as…
The most compelling argument in favour of keeping Erik ten Hag in place at the end of last season was that he had not yet had the opportunity to work within an elite sporting structure at Manchester United. And if you wanted to be mischievous, you could say he still hasn’t.Not only because 14 games at the start of 2024-25 is arguably not much of an ‘opportunity’, but also because elite sporting structures do not generally reward a manager with a contract extension, and then sack him only four months later.Maybe that’s an unkind assessment of co-owner INEOS’ track record…
