Gerrit Cole got it up to 99.6 mph in the third inning, then went changeup on the next pitch for his third strikeout of the night. He’s through three innings on 49 pitches.
FINAL: Northwestern defeats Johns Hopkins 13-12 to move onto the Big Ten Women's Lacrosse Tournament Championship. @callemley and @Matt_Saperstein recap all the game action as Northwestern prepares to play the winner of the Penn State/Rutgers semifinal game on Saturday.
In my opinion both sides of this Jimmy Butler saga are in fault but what is holding this trade back? Did Jimmy Butler really hurt his trade value that much this year? Also what happened to the “amicable” conversation the two had less than two weeks ago? #heat#jimmybutler

YES’ NY Sports Emmy count for the year lands at 5! First, our live season-long Yankees coverage & Ian Eagle won in early October, then last week Bronx Beat, the YES App, and our Yanks Media Day lighting setup were honored.

143 Games, .321 OBP, .396 SLG, .717 OPS, 108 OPS+, .7 dWAR
Rutschman leads in every raw statistic but has 220 more PA.
Austin Wells and Adley Rutschman are looked at in a totally different way. Adley was ranked Number 1 in MLB’s catcher rankings at the beginning of the season and Wells was not even the opening day starter but…
