Para construir uma vantagem que faça o Verdão jogar mais tranquilo em Ribeirão Preto, daqui três semanas, o time de Abel Ferreira precisa fazer as pazes com as redes.

Isso porque o ataque alviverde não vive boa fase no Brasileirão, e com apenas um gol nas primeiras quatro rodadas, o atual bicampeão brasileiro tem o segundo pior ataque da competição.

Já na Libertadores, a fase do ataque alviverde muda completamente, e o time tem sete gols nos três jogos que fez na fase de grupos.

Este será o segundo encontro do Palmeiras diante do Botafogo-SP neste ano, uma vez que o Verdão bateu o rival do interior por 1 a 0 na campanha do tri do Paulistão.

David Ortiz Played Weatherman As Speedway Classic Started in Disappointing Rain Delay

A lot of planning went into Major League Baseball's Speedway Classic between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves at Bristol Motor Speedway.

An entire field was constructed in the middle of the race track, custom uniforms were handed out and there was even a pregame concert with Pitbull and Tim McGraw. Unfortunately, the one thing you can't plan for wouldn't comply for the first MLB game in the state of Tennessee.

Weather hit in Bristol, Tenn. which forced the contest between the Braves and Reds to start in a rain delay. A disappointing start to an event that was months in the making. But what can you do? Boston Red Sox legend and current MLB on Fox broadcaster David Ortiz provided plenty of optimism and kept the energy light during the delay by showing his skills as a weatherman.

"I'm a meteorologist," Ortiz joked on the broadcast as he analyzed the radar. "It's a little bit of green over Bristol, let's see the weather right here. See that little bit of green open? It will be gone in a little bit people. Don't rush it out, sit down and have a drink because that's going to go away in a little bit. It's a lot of green but I can see a little window right there."

You can watch the hilarious clip below:

First pitch at Bristol Motor Speedway was scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET. Starting lineups were announced and the national anthem was sung but the tarp had to be rolled out due to rain in Bristol that delayed the action.

At least Big Papi brought the fans at home some rain-delay entertainment.

Bracey 96 trumps Handscomb century as Gloucestershire hold on

Rookie batter Tommy Boorman compiles match-winning 38 as hosts hold their nerve

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay10-Aug-2025Rookie batter Tommy Boorman compiled a superb match-winning innings of 38 not out under intense pressure to carry Gloucestershire to an impressive three-wicket victory over Leicestershire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup at the Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol.Making only his third List-A appearance, Boorman struck two fours and two sixes and staged an unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 35 in 18 balls with Craig Miles, who helped himself to a brace of sixes in making 18 not out as Gloucestershire reached their victory target of 286 with nine balls to spare.Gloucestershire appeared to be cruising when James Bracey compiled an eye-catching 96 from 106 balls and staged an opening stand of 105 with Cameron Bancroft, who contributed 40. But seamer Alex Green turned the tide back in Leicestershire’s favour, taking 5-52, dismissing both openers and dangermen Ben Charlesworth and Jack Taylor to set up a tense finale.

Peter Handscomb could count himself unlucky to finish on the losing side, Leicestershire’s skipper raising a brilliant 107 from 125 balls with nine fours and a six and sharing in a substantial partnership of 115 for the fifth wicket with Ben Cox, who contributed a run-a-ball 61, as the Foxes recovered from 76 for 4 to post 285 for 7.Liam Trevaskis produced a hard-hitting 30 not out as the visitors added 61 runs in the final five overs, but Gloucestershire seamer Josh Shaw excelled with the new ball, returning figures of 3 for 40 to keep last season’s beaten semi-finalists in check.Gloucestershire’s decision to bowl first was justified when Shaw claimed 3 for 20 with the new ball to reduce the Foxes to 22 for 3. The Yorkshireman bowled Rishi Patel between bat and pad without scoring, had Sol Budinger held at deep third via a top-edged cut and then had Lewis Hill caught at the wicket in the act of cutting, at which point he had dismantled Leicestershire’s top order in the space of 15 deliveries from the Ashley Down Road end.Having mustered just three boundaries in the powerplay, the visitors were under duress in the face of variable bounce on a slow pitch. But Shan Masood and Handscomb effected a partial recovery, staging an important alliance of 54 in 13.3 overs. The fourth-wicket partnership was beginning to flourish when Ben Charlesworth made a breakthrough with his first ball, persuading Pakistan Test captain Masood to top-edge a pull shot to deep fine leg and depart for 35 with the score 76 for 4 in the 19th.That was as good as it got for Gloucestershire. New batter Cox looked to disrupt the home side’s smooth progress from the outset, clearing the rope behind square for the first six of the innings when Matt Taylor dropped short as the Foxes reached halfway on 113 for 4.The batters managed to get on top for the first time against spinners Ollie Price and Jack Taylor, Handscomb and Cox combining excellent running between the wickets and clever placement in raising a 50 partnership from 57 balls. Averaging a half-century every four innings in List-A cricket, Handscomb went to his 42nd fifty from 76 balls, while Cox attained the same landmark via 45 deliveries with five fours and a six.Gloucestershire needed a wicket and Akhter obliged, bowling Cox to terminate a partnership that had revitalised Leicestershire. Cox had scored a run-a-ball 61 and helped establish a platform from which the visitors could launch a late assault.Matt Taylor removed Ian Holland cheaply, but there was no shifting Handscomb, the Australian going to his ninth List-A hundred by launching Akhter over long-off for six. He received staunch support from Liam Trevaskis with a quickfire unbeaten 30 from 22 deliveries in a valuable seventh-wicket alliance of 51 in 35 balls as the Foxes smashed 61 runs in the final five overs.Gloucestershire openers Bracey and Bancroft were initially circumspect in the face of the new-ball threat. But Bracey soon warmed to his task, greeting Tom Scriven with a pick-up for six over midwicket and a pull for four next ball as the home side advanced to 47 without loss at the end of 10 overs. So dominant was Bracey, that Bancroft contributed just seven runs to the 50 partnership.Bracey went to an authoritative half-century from 58 deliveries, reaching that landmark with his ninth four, causing Handscomb to turn to spin. The opening partnership had realised three figures before the Foxes made the breakthrough they so desperately needed, Bancroft edging a catch behind off Chris Wright in the 20th over.Ollie Price proved adept at rotating the strike thereafter and Gloucestershire were well-placed on 134 for 1 at the halfway stage, requiring a further 152 at 6.1 an over. These two posted a 50 partnership from 65 balls, but Price fell for 29, hitting Green straight to Handscomb at midwicket.Green then struck a telling blow, having Bracey held at deep square leg, at which point Gloucestershire still needed 108 to win with two new batters at the crease. Charlesworth hit a quickfire 19, only to succumb to a leg-side strangle as Green made another important intervention.Sensing an opportunity, Leicestershire kept up the pressure and Trevaskis dismissed Joe Phillips for 14 to further reduce the home side, still 61 short of their target with nine overs remaining.Boorman helped himself to a six and a four off Holland, but Gloucestershire’s task was made harder when Green accounted for Jack Taylor and Akhter with successive deliveries in the 46th over.Miles hit a straight six off Green and Boorman repeated the feat off Trevaskis as the eighth wicket pair held their nerve. Miles hit the winning six in the penultimate over.

Aaron Boone Ties Unwanted MLB Playoff Record In ALDS Loss to Blue Jays

It may seen hard to believe, but Aaron Boone has now managed the Yankees for eight years.

Hired in the wake of Joe Girardi's 2017 exit, Boone has mostly been successful—going 697-497 for a winning percentage of .584. However, a World Series title has eluded a man who has now won more games with New York than Billy Martin.

When the Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees in the American League Division Series on Wednesday with a 5–2 win, Boone tied (per Josh Dubow of the AP) a record for most playoff games managed for one team without winning the World Series. That record had been held by Mike Hargrove, who managed 52 Cleveland postseason games from 1991 to '99 without a title.

During his playing career, Boone played 17 playoff games—all with New York in 2003. He did not win the World Series, but he did hit one of baseball's most famous walk-off home runs in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox.

Boone is under contract for 2026, but Yankees fans have to be growing impatient as their long-by-New-York-standards championship drought hits 17 years.

WFAN Host Questions Juan Soto's Age Amid Yankees, Mets Rant

In the ever-growing cross-city rivalry between the Mets and the Yankees, Juan Soto's mega-contract he signed this offseason—sending him from the Bronx to Queens—is only the latest blip on the radar.

The deal, a 15-year, $765 million pact, keeps the four-time All-Star with the Mets through 2039 and through his age-40 season … at least we think.

In a recent appearance on , host Brandon Tierney went on a bit of a rant about Soto's transition from pinstripes to orange and blue—and in doing so, questioned if the outfielder is really as young as we think he is:

"If you gave me a chance to put him on the Yankees right now, for the contract he signed with the Mets, or the contract that the Yankees offered, my answer would be … I'm good," he said. "Pass."

"Now I'm not good to the point where I'm feeling good about the Yankees team," Tierney continued. "And that's a Cashman thing, but 15 years of this? Honestly, does he look 26 [years old]? … When you're 26, you still have a youthful glow … I think that there's a chance, a good chance, he's not 26. I'll say it. Whatever."

What is this, ?

Tierney went on to dig himself deeper, saying that, while he doesn't want to give his theory any more credence, Soto may be closer to age 30.

Quite the interesting hill to die on.

The Mets are just 1-9 in their last 10 games as they cling on to the final National League wild-card spot with just over a month to go in the 2025 season. Soto leads New York in home runs with 29 and is batting .252 with 69 RBIs.

Mesmo amado pelo elenco, António Oliveira corre risco de demissão no Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

A derrota do Corinthians por 1 a 0 para o Argentinos Juniors na terça-feira (23), pela Sul-Americana, escancarou a pressão sobre o técnico António Oliveira. O português perdeu prestígio, balança no comando do clube alvinegro e corre risco de ser demitido.

O que tem segurado o treinador no cargo é a boa relação com o elenco. Esse fator foi crucial para a demissão de Mano Menezes em fevereiro, por exemplo, que não se entendia com os atletas.

O antecessor de António Oliveira não vivia um clima amistoso com o elenco do Corinthians. Somado aos resultados ruins no Campeonato Paulista, não resistiu à pressão e foi demitido logo no início do ano.

Ainda assim, a avaliação interna do comando do futebol corintiano é que António Oliveira não tem feito o elenco ter respostas positivas em campo e que o time está em retrocesso técnico. Há um incomodo, também, com a falta de variação no esquema de jogo.

Ainda assim, o treinador português deve ser mantido no cargo em um primeiro momento, mas começa a ficar a ameaçado se mantiver o desempenho negativo. Uma derrota para o Fluminense no domingo (28), por exemplo, pode tornar insustentável a pressão sobre o profissional.

Nick Gubbins century condemns defending champions Glamorgan to opening defeat

Skipper’s career-best 144 not out leads young Hampshire side to dominant win

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay05-Aug-2025

Nick Gubbins reaches three figures•Getty Images

Nick Gubbins’ career-best 144 not out led an inexperienced Hampshire to a winning start in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup against defending champions Glamorgan at The Gnoll in Neath.Four teenagers featured for the visitors – including a three-man seam attack with ages of 19, 19 and 16. The youngest of the trio – Manny Lumsden took 3 for 64 to derail the top order despite Kiran Carlson’s magnificent 135.Carlson’s first ever one-day century was unable to be supported due to a steady flow of wickets left Glamorgan bowled out inside 40 overs, 72 short of Hampshire’s 324 for 6.Other debutant Ben Mayes played fearlessly for 74 from 55 balls in the 17-year-old’s 141-run partnership with Gubbins to end the visitors’ innings explosively.After inserting Hampshire to bat, Glamorgan got off to an economical start. James Harris and unexpected new ball partner Zain Ul Hassan containing Gubbins and Ali Orr.On the surface containing Hampshire to a 42-run powerplay on a small outground could have been viewed to be Glamorgan’s advantage, the drop of Gubbins by Carlson at second slip while the opener was on just four later proved to be a difference of what came later.A solid 68-run opening contribution was brought to a much-needed end as Ali Orr started to cruise, Ned Leonard making for a comeback from being hooked for six out of the ground on his first ball.Dangerous overseas Tilak Varma could’ve been a match winner for Hampshire given his two centuries in four games already for the club, removed for a duck.A flow of four wickets for 47 at a slowing rate dragged Glamorgan back when debutant Mayes entered at 115 for 4, Gubbins still anchoring.It didn’t take long for Mayes to motor, inflicting his freedom onto Gubbins, casually reverse-sweeping Glamorgan’s 18-year-old debutant Romano Franco four times on his way to a century.Mayes’ hockey-style sweeping, both orthodox and reverse, had the runs flowing before Felix Organ took over the role with a flashy 32 from 14 unbeaten to end the innings. Hampshire adding 129 in the final 10 overs, no bowler getting off lightly, Gubbins carrying his bat.Unlike in Hampshire’s innings, the hosts came out firing. Also unlike the hosts, a dropped slip catch was shortly after redeemed with the wicket, Tribe dropped on seven, out on 14.While Hampshire’s innings was backboned by one mammoth partnership, Glamorgan kept losing wickets when times were tough. Eddie Byrom’s steady start, enjoying cutting and leg-glancing the exciting Hampshire seamers was eventually removed for 29 on his return to first team cricket which brought the highlights package-esque viewing of Lumsden to Carlson.A first over for 23 may mean a debut to forget for a 16-year-old but a wicket in there and persistence from both bowler and captain gave him another wicket and a hat-trick ball. The three-over spell of 2 for 47 was about so much more than the figures.Hampshire’s 18 overs of consecutive spin in the middle overs contained Glamorgan enough while regular wickets left Glamorgan requiring Andy Gorvin’s 42-ball 11 to stick in a partnership with his captain to give a fighting chance.Lumsden’s return brought more fireworks including the big wicket after Carlson effectively run out of partners, but not before giving the Neath crowd a special display.
