The Art of Slow? Now an Innings Eater! Second-year hopeful, first QS perfect game of the season!

![](https://files.readme.io/4f1c310-image.png) <br> 'The aesthetics of slowness'. These are the words that describe Yoon Young-cheol (20), a second-year pitcher for the Kia Tigers. Yoon's average fastball is only around 140 kilometers. In the era of fastball pitchers that exceed 150 kilometers, the second-year pitcher's velocity seems slower than normal. However, Yoon's razor-sharp delivery, which is rare among fastball pitchers, helped him win eight games in his rookie year. In addition to his fastball, Yoon has a wide variety of pitches, including curveballs, sliders, changeups, and cutters. His ability to stay calm and not falter at any point in the game has earned him another nickname, “the old man. One of Yoon's weaknesses has been his ability to stay in the innings. Although he has the ability to locate his pitches near the strike zone, his slower pitches are often taken advantage of by hitters, and his natural pitch count naturally increases, making it difficult for him to complete innings. “My velocity will come naturally as I gain experience,” Yoon said, making it clear that he would focus on his strengths. Against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on April 24, Yoon proved his innings of durability by utilizing his strengths of pitching and game management. Yoon started the game with a walk to leadoff hitter Lee Yong-kyu in the top of the first inning, but Dawson and Song Sung-moon popped out, and catcher Kim Tae-goon prevented Lee from stealing, saving his pitch count. In the second inning, a walk and a single threatened to put runners on the corners, but Kim Hwi-jip got out of the jam with a strikeout. After giving up the first run in the bottom of the third inning, she gave up another hit and was in danger of giving up another run, but she remained steady and got the final out. From the fourth through the sixth innings, he faced 10 batters and issued just one walk while piling up outs to complete a quality start (6+ innings pitched, 3 earned runs or less). In the bottom of the seventh, he walked the leadoff hitter, Ko Young-woo, but Kim Hwijip caught the ball himself and threw to second base for a double play. The total pitch count was 88. As Yoon walked off the mound, the crowd gave him a standing ovation and praised his performance. Yoon's fastball had a maximum velocity of 141 kilometers and an average velocity of 139 kilometers. However, Yoon's performance was enough to prove that velocity is not everything for a pitcher. <https://www.majortotosite.top>

New Orleans Saints Face Depth Issues at Running Back

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller sustained a knee injury during the team’s preseason opener on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Miller is the second running back to suffer an injury since the Saints’ training camp began. The Saints indicated that Miller sprained his right knee in the third quarter, and he didn’t return to the game. Miller underwent testing on Monday to gauge the severity of his most recent injury. He doesn’t require surgery, but he’s most likely out for the remainder of the preseason. The Saints lack depth at the running back position and will begin the season without veteran starter Alvin Kamara. The NFL suspended Kamara for three games because of his involvement in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas. - Eno Benjamin Out, Will Saints Sign Hunt? The Saints selected Miller with a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of TCU. Miller initially injured his right knee during a loss against Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl in December. After getting drafted by the Saints, Miller missed off-season workouts and OTAs while he recovered from an MCL injury. Miller fully recovered by the time training camp began in late July. In March, the Saints signed veteran running back Jamaal Williams to a three-year contract. Williams rushed for a career-high 1,066 yards with the Detroit Lions last season. He led the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns in 2022. When the Saints signed Williams, they expected Kamara would have to sit out six games. They caught a break with only a three-game suspension. Running back Eno Benjamin joined the Saints last season, but didn’t make much of an impact. The Saints were not confident he could back up Kamara this season, which is why they signed Williams. Benjamin ruptured his Achilles during practice in early August, and Miller moved up the depth chart. Head coach Dennis Allen will rely on Williams to begin the season as the starting running back. However, without Benjamin and possibly Miller, there’s no one to back up Williams until Kamara returns in Week 4. Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt visited the Saints last week, but two other teams could outbid the Saints. The Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings are both interested in Hunt. Colts starting running back Jonathan Taylor is nursing an injury and is embroiled in a contract extension dispute. Meanwhile, the Vikings need a running back to replace free-agent Dalvin Cook. - Kamara Suspended for First Three Games Kamara was involved in a fight during an elevator dispute with Darnell Greene at the Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The incident occurred at Drai’s After Hours in February 2022 during Pro Bowl Weekend in Las Vegas. Kamara and Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons pleaded no contest to a criminal charge of breach of peace. They will both have to perform community service and must pay Greene’s medical bills. Kamara’s dust-up in Las Vegas resulted in a three-game suspension by the NFL. The suspension could have been worse if he earned a more severe charge. Kamara emerged as a dual-threat running back with the Saints after an auspicious rookie season in 2017. He tallied at least 1,300 combined yards from scrimmage in his first six seasons with the Saints, and has posted 1,500 combined yards at least three times. Kamara rushed for 16 touchdowns and caught five more in 2020. In 15 games last season, Kamara found the end zone only four times. But he combined for 1,387 total yards for a losing squad. - Betting the Saints on the Futures Market The Saints went 7-10 in 2022 and finished in second place in a lackluster NFC South, which was considered the weakest division in the NFL last season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South with a losing record at 8-9, and still secured a home playoff game as a division champion. The Saints enter this season as the betting favorite to win the NFC South at +120 odds. They are ahead of the Atlanta Falcons (+215), Carolina Panthers (+400), and the Bucs (+800). The Bucs are in rebuilding mode this season, and have yet to name a starting quarterback to replace Tom Brady, who retired in the off-season. Oddsmakers installed the Saints with a win total of 9.5 over/under for this upcoming season. The over pays out +105 odds, and the under pays -120. The Saints added quarterback Derek Carr in the off-season. Carr parted ways with the Las Vegas Raiders after they signed Jimmy Garoppolo in free agency. Jameis Winston, who struggled with multiple injuries last season, enters this season as the backup quarterback behind Carr. The versatile Taysom Hill is currently listed as the third-string QB and backup tight end on the depth chart. The Saints are +3000 odds to win Super Bowl LVIII. They’re fifth on DraftKings’ futures board to win the NFC Championship at +1200 odds. <br /> <https://www.bsc.news/>

'Kim Min-jae's transfer is not the problem' → 'Naples falling to the middle table, anarchy'

There has been criticism of Napoli's performance this season. Italian media La Repubblica claimed on the 22nd that Napoli's lackluster performance this season had nothing to do with breaking up with Kim Min-jae The media outlet said, 'Two years ago, Napoli's decision to release their main players at once was courageous and successful. Spalletti and Gintoli chose to part ways with players like Koulibaly, Mertens, Insine, Ospina and Lewis, which has transformed the team and become a plus,' said Napoli president Lorenz. They thought they could compete for the league title despite saying goodbye to Spalletti after the victory. However, Napoli became anarchic and suffered greatly. Even if Kim hadn't left the team, it wouldn't have been enough to solve the problem. He said, 'The reason Napoli fell was not the sale of Kim Min-jae Napoli is ranked eighth in Serie A with 13 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses (49 points) this season. Napoli, which won the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years last season, is still active as its strikers, including Osimhen and Kvaracelia, who led the team to win the championship last season. On the other hand, there has been a gap in the defense line since Kim Min-jae left. Napoli, whose performance has plummeted from last season, has conceded 41 goals in 33 Serie A matches this season, more than Genoa, which ranks 12th in the league. Napoli has ranked third or higher in Serie A in seven of the last 10 seasons, but there are concerns that it will remain the worst in the last 10 seasons. Napoli appointed Garcia when Spaletti, who led the team to the Serie A championship last season, left the team, but Garcia was replaced during the season due to poor performance in November last year. Machari was later appointed, but Machari was also replaced in February. Napoli, who dismissed two coaches this season alone, is under the leadership of Calzone. Rumors have it that Napoli will return to the club recently. Italian media outlet Il Martino said on Thursday, "Kim Min-jae may return to the club after a year. Napoli are considering signing Kim Min-jae next season. The only possibility is a loan deal." He also said, "Kim Min-jae's high salary will still be a big problem. Kim Min-jae is paid 8.5 million euros from Bayern Munich, which is much more than Napoli can afford," predicting that Kim Min-jae will unlikely return to the club. <br /> [www.totositeweb.top/](http://www.totositeweb.top/)

Kim Min-jae's New Teacher Finally Found... German Media "Munich May Promise Within April"

<br /> It seems that the new teacher of Korean defender Kim Min-jae has been decided. German local media pointed to Ralf Rangnick as Bayern Munich's new head coach. Bayern Munich, who failed to win the German Bundesliga for the 12th consecutive year, will part ways with manager Thomas Tuchel, who is currently leading the club, after the 2023-24 season. Munich's separation from Tuchel was confirmed in February. At the time, Munich announced on the club's official website that "Bayern Munich has agreed with Thomas Tuchel to end his contractual relationship, which was originally due to expire on June 30, 2025, on June 30, 2024." Tuchel, who took charge of Munich in March last year, extended his club's winning streak to 11 years by becoming Bundesliga champion last season, but faced a crisis of ending the second year of the 2023-24 season without a game, eventually leading to a mutual contract termination agreement with the club. Coach Tuchel failed to lift the trophy after losing 0-3 to RB Leipzig in the German Football League (DFL)-Super Cup before the start of the league. In addition, he was eliminated early in this season's German Football Confederation-Pokal Cup after losing to Jarbrücken, a third-division team, and the Bundesliga, which had been at the top for 11 consecutive years, was also handed over to Bayer Leverkusen. It is known that neither Tuchel nor Munich had any intention of changing the terms agreed upon by each other, although they advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. Munich continued to search for a new head coach after his separation from Tuchel was confirmed. The leader who most wanted to replace Tuchel was Xavi Alonso, who led Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title this season, but Alonso himself said he would stay with Leverkusen and had to look for another leader. Munich, who failed to appoint Alonso, again sent a love call to German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann, who had been dismissed in the past. Nagelsmann, the young leader who holds the record for the youngest Bundesliga coach to make his debut, took charge of Munich ahead of the 2021-2022 season but was dismissed in March last year due to poor performance. He has led the German national football team since September last year after putting down the baton in Munich. Nagelsmann's contract period is until 2024 European Championship (Euro 2024) in Germany in July, so Munich decided to bring Nagelsmann after the tournament, but Nagelsmann's choice was to extend his contract with the German national team. The German Football Association announced on Wednesday that it had reached a unanimous agreement with Nagelsmann to extend his contract following the resolution of the association's supervisory committee and the general shareholders' meeting. With this contract renewal, Nagelsmann's contract with the German Football Association has been extended until 2026. Munich's position as the next head coach fell into the fog as the leaders to succeed Tuchel chose to remain in office. Several media outlets nominated Zinedine Zidane and Robert Dezerbi, but their weight was focused on appointing Ralf Rangnick, who currently leads the Austrian national soccer team. Rangnick has left a great mark in the Bundesliga. He has been the head coach of the Red Bull soccer team in Salzburg, Austria, and Leipzig, Germany, since 2012. As both coach and coach in Leipzig, he promoted Leipzig to the Bundesliga for the first time since his foundation and helped them finish second in the Bundesliga. The fact that he worked with current Munich general manager Christophe Freund at the time and established a close relationship also means that he is likely to become the next Munich general manager. <br /> [www.totosafedb.com/](http://www.totosafedb.com/)

Vegas Restaurant Roundup: Michael Mina Returns To Mandalay, Cho, Resort World Planning Rose Slusher

James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Mina is set to open his second restaurant at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Eyeing a winter opening, Orla will serve seafood dishes from a number of global cuisines — including Mediterranean, North African, Western Asian, and European. The restaurant replaces Fleur, the beloved French regional steakhouse opened at the hotel by Chef Hubert Keller in 2005. Mina also operates StripSteak at Mandalay Bay and, of course, Michael Mina at the Bellagio. - Days of Wine and Frosés Resorts World will host the Las Vegas debut of the Co-op Frosé & Eatery. The slushery, specializing in frozen rosé wine (get it, frosés?) will open this fall and operate out of kiosks on the casino floor and an Airstream at the pool. On offer will be 50 rosé slushies in a rotating seasonal selection of about 10 at a time. Sandwiches will also be available, for those who eat. In a way, the fast-growing chain is coming home, since the idea for its signature menu item came from the giant cocktail slushies seen on the Strip for at least two decades. The Co-op has outlets across the Southeast, and two famous retired NFL quarterback investors. (In the Knoxville, Tenn. location, that’s Eli Manning. At Resorts World, it’s Sam Bradford.) - Dining In & Out A year and a half after reality TV personality Brett Raymer and Chef Anthony Monte opened Stallone’s Italian Eatery — their Silverado Ranch restaurant with no connection to either Sylvester (or even Frank) Stallone — they’re opening another, next to the sportsbook at Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino. Raymer created one of Animal Planet’s longest-running shows, “Tanked,” which followed his work as a Las Vegas-based builder of custom fish tanks. Leoncito, described as “a modern Mexican restaurant,” will open in October at Red Rock Resorts, in the space formerly occupied by Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar. Chef Joel Ott debuts Joel’s Chophouse on August 31st at the Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel (formerly the Lucky Dragon). The eatery occupies the second-floor space formerly known as Chef Marc’s Italian Steakhouse, and Ott now occupies Chef Marc (Sgrizzi)’s job as the hotel’s executive chef. <br /> <https://www.badugisite.net/>

Maui's top cop, now in the spotlight, previously headed the Las Vegas Strip command for the LVMPD

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier, who has gotten national attention since the Hawaiian island was struck by a deadly wildfire last week, is no stranger to Las Vegas residents. Pelletier worked his way up to captain in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) over his 22-year career. He also was commander of the department’s Major Violator/Narcotics Bureau and was in charge of the K-9 and SWAT units. He was best known as the commander of the policing district that includes the Las Vegas Strip. During his watch, he played a key role in the response to the Oct. 1, 1997 mass shooting, which led to the deaths of 58 people, with two more perishing in later years. Hundreds of others were injured in the attack. The experience helped to prepare him for the grim, ongoing challenges on Maui, where the mounting death toll from the fire has reached 106, with more likely. That makes it the deadliest fire in the US in over 100 years. Since the wildfire, Pelletier frequently appears on televised press conferences to update the media and public on the police response to the tragedy. He stands alongside such recognizable figures as Hawaii Gov. John Green (D), and Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen. During his statements, Pelletier has called on the community to practice “patience, prayers and perseverance,” according to the Associated Press. Pelletier voiced a similar message after the Las Vegas Strip mass shooting. That incident became notorious as the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. - Proud of Vegas Experience When Pelletier was named Maui’s police chief in 2021, he was proud of what the LVMPD was able to achieve following the mass shooting. We took the biggest crime scene, second only to 9/11, and we did everything to mitigate that,” he recalled while being considered for the top cop job on Maui, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. “We brought a community together. We did something really, really great.” The two incidents also led to stressful and emotional times for officers and the wider community. - Puts Incident in Perspective Pelletier isn’t hesitant to clarify what’s at stake after such tragedies; families and friends have lost those they deeply care about, and neighborhoods hold more than just physical evidence. It’s not just ash on your clothing when you take it off. It’s our loved ones,” Pelletier recently stated. The current process in Maui — to find bodies, identify victims, and inform families — is similar to the one used after the mass shooting on the Strip. It takes time and needs to be done correctly, Pelletier has reminded the media during his press conferences. When we find these … you know, our family and our friends … the remains we’re finding is through a fire that melted metal. We have to do rapid DNA to identify them,” Pelletier was quoted by USA Today. Las Vegas and Maui are known as tourist meccas, so Pelletier’s experience in Clark County in dealing with diverse visitors is helpful to the role in Hawaii. Pelletier was born in Buffalo, NY and is a third-generation police officer. He graduated from UNLV with a degree in political science and attended the FBI Academy. <br /> <https://www.casinositehot.com/>

Jinhee Lim leads LPGA majors 2R...Hae Ran Hwang 4-5

Jin-hee Lim, 26, a six-time winner on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour who made her debut on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour this season, holds the second-round lead in the first major of the season. Lim began the second round of the Chevron Championship ($7.9 million) at Carleton Woods Club (Par 72-6824) in Texas, USA, on Tuesday in a tie for fifth place, three shots off the lead. She carded five birdies for an 8-under-par 136 total, tied for the lead with Ataya Thittitjerin (21-THA). Lim will be looking to become the first South Korean player to win on the LPGA Tour this season. Prior to this event, South Korean players had not won a tournament in eight events this season. They haven't won a major since Jeon In-ji (30) at the 2022 Wegmans PGA Championship. Lim led the KLPGA Tour in wins last season (4) and finished tied for 17th on the Q-Series before making her way to the U.S. this season. In her three previous starts, she missed the cut, tied for 27th and tied for 35th. "I wanted to play longer and I wanted to play on a bigger tour," she said of her first LPGA Tour major. World No. 1 Nellie Korda (USA), 26, who is looking to extend her winning streak to five events, is tied for third (7-under par), one stroke off the lead. Korda opened with a double bogey on the par-4 first but birdied the next two holes before adding five birdies and one bogey. Last season's LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year Hae-Ran Hae, 23, is tied for fourth (6-under par) and Bang Shin-Sil, 20, who plays on the KLPGA Tour, is tied for fifth (5-under par). Bang, the KLPGA Tour's longest-hitting player last season, qualified for the tournament as a top-40 player in the world. She carded a bogey-free eagle on the eighth hole (par-5) and five birdies to finish with the best score of the field (65). Jiae Shin (36), who will compete in the Paris Olympics, missed the cut in a tie for 49th place (1-over par). In her return to the Tour after a month-long absence, 2019 champion Ko Jin-young (29) tied for 74th (3-over par), while retiring star Yoo So-yeon (34) missed the cut at 110th (7-over par). "I tried my best to enjoy everything - the excitement of the tee shot, the difficult chip shot, the nervousness of making a birdie putt," said Yoo, who won the event in 2017, as she concluded her final tournament of the day. <br> [www.cmriindia.org/esports-betting-site/](http://www.cmriindia.org/esports-betting-site/)

'Angler' Schaeffler dominates...RBC Heritage leads again

At this rate, it looks like "America's Angler" is going to do it all by himself. World No. 1 Scotty Schauffler (28-USA), who has three wins this year, including last week's "dream stage" Masters, carded eight birdies in the third round of the RBC Heritage ($20 million purse), a PGA Tour event, to shoot an 8-under 63 and take sole possession of the lead with a 16-under 297 total. Schauffler was tied for 10th after the second round the day before. Jeff Straka (AUT) is one stroke back in second (15-under par) and Colin Morikawa is third (14-under par). Ludvig "Woods of Sweden" Oberg, who finished second at the Masters, is tied for fourth (13 under par). The Masters-like battle for the title between Schauffler, Morica, Oberg and three other 20-somethings was set to unfold on the final day. Day 3 of the tournament at the par-71 Harbortown Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA. Schaeffler started off with a birdie on the first hole, using his signature "fisherman swing," in which his feet slide and his arms lift the club as if he's reeling it in. He made his first birdie on No. 2 (par-5) and followed it up with five birdies in the first half, including holes 4-5-7-9. He added birdies on No. 11 (par-4) and No. 15 (par-5) in the second round. Schaeffler's golf looks so easy. He hits it straight and far off the tee and gets the ball on the green with his second shot, which is either a birdie opportunity or an easy par. Schaeffler has a fairway percentage of 78.57% (tied for fifth) despite hitting cannons up to 332 yards in this tournament. He's second in greens in regulation at 77.78%. Schauffler's worst offense is putting, ranking 27th with 1.67 putts per on-green. After struggling with short putts last year, Schauffler has made a huge turnaround thanks to Rory McIlroy (NI), who advised him to "try a mallet putter with a blunt back of the putter head". "I'll never advise Schauffler again," said McIlroy, who went on to help make Schauffler a household name. In his last four starts, Schauffler has won (Arnold Palmer Invitational), tied for second (Players Championship), tied for third (Houston Open at Texas Children's), and won (Masters). The key to his high level of focus is his religious dedication to the game of golf. He always says, "It doesn't matter if I win or lose. My identity is forever secure in God," he says. Wearing his Masters green jacket, he says, "I feel like professional golf is a job where you're never satisfied. Even if I win today, I have to tee off again on Thursday in another tournament." "The joy of winning is only until today, and I have to practice what I lack again," he said. Kim Si Woo and Kim Joo Hyung tied for 17th (9-under par) and Lim Sung Jae and Ahn Byung Hoon tied for 25th (7-under par). [www.sportstoto365.com/](http://www.sportstoto365.com/)

Lee Hye-kyung and Heo Mimi win side-by-side silver medals at Asian Championships

Two members of the women's judo team that will compete at the Paris Olympics took home silver medals at the Asian Championships. Women's 48kg Lee Hye-kyung (Gwangju Transportation Corporation) and 57kg Heo Mi-mi (Gyeongbuk Sports Federation) both reached the finals at the 2024 Asian Judo Championships at Kitek Star Hall in Hong Kong. Both Lee and Heo lost in the finals, but both came away with silver medals and are in great shape for the Olympics. In the semifinals, Lee defeated China's Guo Zhongying with a cool half-legged takedown and half-up reversal to reach the final. In the final, she met Mongolia's Basankhu Bapudozhi and lost a waist takedown in the final. However, she finished the Asian Championships with a silver medal, having already booked her ticket to the Paris Olympics. Lee is ranked ninth in the International Judo Federation (IJF) Olympic rankings in the 48kg category.
