Granted, was already hot and owned in the majority of Fantasy leagues, but because the one reason for skepticism with him was hittability, Wednesday’s no-hit bid against the Pirates was an eye-opener.

Coming into the game, he had allowed 10.0 hits per nine innings while recording just 6.3 strikeouts per nine this season. Not what you’d expect from a hard-throwing phenom. But with just one hit allowed and 11 strikeouts over eight shutout innings Wednesday, he’s now averaging 6.7 hits and 7.4 strikeouts per nine to go along with a 2.11 ERA over his last six starts.

Can Indians be this year’s Orioles? Mark Reynolds sees similarities

NEW YORK — The best team ever at winning one-run games was last year’s . The best this year is the .

, anyone?

“I a Matic has agreed a new deal to stay at Manchester United.Matic, out of contract this summer, had been in talks with the club but it looked as if he would leave.But United boss Solskjaer confirmed Matic will remain at United saying: “He will stay see the similarities,” Reynolds said.

He’s one of the similarities. Reynolds played for the 2012 Orioles. He plays for the 2013 Indians.

Then again, he also played for the 2009 Diamondbacks, whose 20-27 one-run record was one of baseball’s worst.

The more significant similarities, noted by Reynolds: home run hitters, a few speed guys in the lineup, a deep bullpen and a rotation that at least gives you a chance. One more similarity: a veteran manager, who brought belief to the clubhouse.

“I think that’s one thing that may have been missing here before, that expectation of winning,” Reynolds said.

That may be, but the Indians had baseball’s second-best one-run record last year (24-12), behind only the Orioles, who were 29-9. And the Indians still collapsed in August, when their pitching was so bad that their 5-24 record included just two one-run losses.

They strongly believe this year will be different, although that belief could be tested by a schedule that had them open June with consecutive series against the Rays, Yankees, Tigers, Rangers and Nationals.

For now, the Indians are just a game behind the Tigers in the American League Central, and just two games out in the AL wild-card race. They’re also two games behind the pace the Orioles set last year, at a point in the season where we were still trying to decide if it was time to take the O’s seriously.

“Hopefully, we can ride it out here, the way we did last year,” Reynolds said.

Luck obviously plays some part in a team’s one-run record, which is why many expected the Orioles to fall off this season. Their one-run record has fallen off (11-5 at this point last year, 8-7 so far this year), but the O’s have the same overall record (32-25) they did through 57 games a year ago.

The Indians are basically where they were a year ago, too. Not only that, but they got off to a great start in one-run games last year (12-2 through June 20).

It turned out then it didn’t mean anything. It turned out that the Orioles’ early success did mean something.

reliever has struggled since coming off the disabled list May 17. He took his second blown save in four appearances Saturday against the Red Sox after allowing four runs in one inning.

He’s posted a 11.25 ERA in four appearances following a stint on the disabled list because of a sore right elbow.

“I told Vinnie when he came off the disabled list, ‘There might be a little rust,'” manager Terry Francona, per The Plain Dealer. “But like a hitter with a track record, this is a pitcher with a pretty impressive track record with the way he competes, the way he cares. I wouldn’t want to run away from him. I just want to help him.”

Pestano’s struggles could be . He was throwing 92-93 mph before going on the disabled list. He was clocked throwing 88-89 mph Saturday.

“In spring training, when guys start throwing, they have to build arm speed,” Francona said. “That’s what he’s doing now. … There are no medical issues. We got him through that. Now we just have to get him back to being Vinnie.”

Jimmer Fredette is a member of the Westchester Knicks, the ‘ D-League affiliate. Westchester selected the former BYU star No. 2 overall in Saturday’s draft, right behind Jeff Ayres, who was taken by talks between the club and Maddison’s representatives started last November, but a fresh deal is yet to be agreed.City wanted to reward their number 10 with a contract that reflected his importance to the club and his rise to full England internatio the Idaho Stampede.

Fredette, 26, was waived by the San Antonio Spurs before the start of the regular season. This is obviously not where inst Everton last night.The Toon fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 in injury time.”I’ve never been involved in a game with an ending like that,” Longstaff told nufc.co.uk. “I’m still in a bit of shock. I think that game shows the fight that we hahe thought his career was headed when he was drafted No. 10 overall in 2011, but he was never able to produce consistently in the NBA. He will immediately become the biggest name in the D-League. 

It’ll probably be easy for Fredette to put up scoring numbers in the D-League. If he wants to get backain Luka Milivojevic would welcome January arrivals.However, he has warned they must focus on improving small details during games before the winter window.Palace manager Roy Hodgson has long been calling for January investment, and Milivojevic hopes in the NBA, though, he needs to focus on other things. Scouts want to see him improve defensively and become more of a playmaker, as he will have to be a role player in the NBA. 

Other notes: The Iowa Energy selected forwards Perry Jones III and Cartier Martin with the third and fourth picks in the draft, respectively. Journeyman forward Rodney Carney, 31, was taken with the 13th pick by the Oklahoma City Blue.

Pelicans strength coach: Anthony Davis is ‘stronger than he’s ever been’

Under strict orders from new head coach Alvin Gentry, has been . And according to the  head strength and conditioning coach Jason Sumerlin, Davis has also been working hard in the weight room, adding weight and strengthening his core.

From the :

Entering his fourth pro season, the 22-year-old has worked to add more muscle and bulk to his frame. As a result, with training camp one month away, the 6-foot-10 Davis is 12 pounds heavier than he was last season, up to 253, while maintainithe club captaincy.De Gea has agreed a new £375,000-a-week deal with United, which will be signed when he returns from the club’s pre-season tour.“I’ve been captain formmer.Ndombele has left Lyon for Spurs in a deal worth up to €70m.He told L’Equipe: “Could the project of PSG have attracted me? Yes, it’s a big club Paris, it’s the city where I grew up. “Today, I am not disappointed. Not at all. Beyond football, a some games,” said the Spain No.1. “It’his new club.The English central defender has arrived for a record fee for a defender.He will have his work cut out for him at United, given the team finished sixth last season and conceded goals for fun.”It’s a young team now and I think we’ve got bs amazing to be captain of a club likeng 10 percent body fat.

Without a lengthy commitment to USA Basketball this offseason, Davis has been able to consistently focus on a weight-training routine and modifying his diet. He spent a combined total of eight weeks in Los Angeles and Anguilla working daily with new Pelicans head strength and conditioning coach Jason Sumerlin, who continues to adjust the approach of Davis, a noted pizza lover.

“He has been lifting consistently, doing all the small things perfectly and efficiently,” Sumerlin said of Davis’ regimen. “We are more consistent in his lifts and his corrective exercises. He’s lifted a lot more weight – he’s stronger than he’s ever been.”

The additional strength should allow Davis to hold his ground better against bigger frontcourt players he faces, some of whom have outweighed or outmuscled him in the past.

“He’s going to be stronger, faster, quicker and more explosive this year,” said Sumerlin, who has also emphasized core strength. “He talks about it all the time. He feels it. His trunk stability is a huge thing. Whenever he has been down low with the big guys, he kind of collapses (at his midsection). He’s starting to understand how to use his body more efficiently now.”

Davis “” will still play at the power forward position but his added bulk and strength should help out immensely when the Pelicans are playing a small lineup. It may still be tough for Davis to bang down low with bigger players like DeMarcus Cousins. However, his added strength should at least help him hold his own in the post, both defensively and offensively. 

Davis was already playing at an All-Star level last season but now with a 3-point shot and added strength, he is poised to be one of the league’s elite at just 22 years old. No wonder Gentry thinks Davis is “.”

The Oregonian reports he’s sticking to his word and staying with . 

Wesley Matthews says he will sign with the Dallas Mavericks regardless if center DeAndre Jordan changes his mind and returns to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources close to the player told The Oregonian.Matthews, who last week gave a verbal agreement to Dallas to sign a four-year deal worth around $13 million the first year, is expected to sign and be introduced to the Dallas media on Thursday, the first day the NBA moratorium ends.

Source: . 

Matthews from the Sacramento Kings, but took less money to join Dallas. There had been speculation that Matthews might reconsider after Jordan decided to back out on his deal with Dallas, but it appears Matthews is staying with the Mavs. It actually complicates matters for the Mavericks, who have to find a player that fits alongside Matthews, and if they were to tank, as Mark Cuban told reporters he would have if he did not get Jordan, Matthews’ contract makes no sense for Dallae refusing to sell more tickets for their FA Youth Cup quarter-final against Millwall over fears of crowd trouble.The Blues have capped the attendance for Thursday’s clash at their 41,631-seater Stamford Bridge stadium to just 2,700 in a bid to preves going forward. 

This is on top of the fact that Matthews is recovering from an Achilles injury and that may lead to complications for his career. The history of players trying to come back from that kind of injury at age 28 or older is not good. 

Matthews next to Jordan made for a formidable inside-out defensive combo. The signing takes a different look with Jordan headed back to LA.

Former NBA commissioner David Stern is bored and his friends want him to run for mayor of New York City in 2017, . Stern, though, said he’s not looking to go into politics:

Stern is an associate at the Council on Foreign Relations. Of $311,400 Stern has given to Democrats, $5,000 went to President elles admits he had big concerns when Rafa Benitez chose to quit.Lascelles feared Newcastle would “go off the rails” following Benitez’s shock departure but backed Steve Bruce to steady the ship.”I did think when we came back that it would be quite dObama in 2012, and $30,800, the legal max, went to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2011. Not a cent went to Republicans.

…

“He’s tough as nails. He’s popular with the black community,” said one associate. “New York would be lucky to have him as mayor.”

Stern, though “flattered,” said he is not interested in running. “I remain a happy Westchester resident and am very busy as a senior adviser to a number of enterprises.”

Can you imagine Stern as mayor? This is the man who, during the lockout,  — just think of what would happen if he got into a war of words with a rival candidate.

Even if running for mayor isn’t a realistic scenario, it’s not much of a surprise that someone called him “bored.” He spent (exactly) 30 years as commissioner of the , and for the last year and a half his daily decisions have not had nearly the same sort of stakes. He’s turning 73 years old next month though, so it would be a bit of a weird time to start a political career.
