Starting lineup

provides as follows: (1) A hitter may be designated to bat for the starting pitcher and all subsequent pitchers in any game without otherwise affecting the status of the pitcher(s) in the game. The rule allows for another batter to hit instead of the pitcher in the lineup without having to play in the field. But the rule only applies to the…

I can say that I am a perfectionist, and I have always wanted to do and make the best of everything I do. With being a perfectionist, everything he or she does has to be right. If it’s not I just failed at what I had to do. In my eyes my failure is what kept me striving at what I needed to do to make it. It was also a lesson I learned on how to improve my game at the next level. Then I noticed that I was not, and could not be the best at everything I done. I realized the more times I attempted…

hit me like getting trucked by a truck, ever since then i’ve always strived to do as much as I can and be the best at at it. The next year, I did Football for two teams and starting going to camps and combines, wrestle for three teams, joined track and broke multiple records, started basketball again and was starting lineup, baseball, and started weight lifting year round and have been taking it seriously. And before seeing this video, I didn’t really care. I just went thru the motions in…

After the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series, several teams in the Major Leagues are looking for a better way to develop their rosters similar to the 2016 Champions. The key in doing so starts with changes in the front office and then the team manager. Those two positions need to be filled before you can even think about what players you need to work the system. One of the teams that are looking to develop a roster similar to the Cubs is the Atlanta Braves. The Braves finished their 2016…

The news has spread like wildfire. Kevin Durant is now a member of the Golden State Warriors. Twitter exploded like the Fourth of July on Monday, which just so happened to be THE Fourth of July, and people and NBA players alike lost their minds. Several opinions have been thrown around these past couple days; Durant is a ring chaser, Durant is a traitor, and the list goes on and on. Not every opinion was bad though. A lot of the positive feedback came from Warriors fans — duh — and analysts…

Antonio head coach and sideline savant Gregg Popovich scoured over the film and radically adjusted his game plan for the rematch in Texas on March 19th. First, Popovich countered the Warriors' quickness and smaller lineups by replacing perennial powerhouse Duncan in the starting lineup with the more adroit Boris Diaw. The switch paid dividends as Diaw dominated Harrison Barnes on the offensive end of the floor, shooting 6-of-7 from the field and posting a plus-minus of 20 in 35 minutes.…

By not following that concept, your idea will not see as many daylight as it’d like. An example would be my failed business that went down in the beginning of 2016. I had no execution plan prior to creating my fashion apparel lineup. I told myself that something like that wasn’t needed and by doing so, it never got as many sales or traffic as I’d would hope. In less than a year, the business went down into the sewers and all was lost. The countless hours of work I’ve put into…

Despite wrapping up the most successful regular season in franchise history, there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re…

The biggest lessons I've learned in high school is to never give up and accepting failure. As a kid in middle school I played basketball. I was always one of the best players. I was always in the starting lineup. I was always shooting three-pointers and averaging 23 points per game. Then I graduated and went to high school. I wanted to branch out and try other sports. Given my tall, long-limbed stature, I thought I should join cross country. Cross country is a sport in which a person runs for…
