 118.7 miles (about 191 kilometers). That's the frightening speed, equivalent to the maximum wind speed of a Category A typhoon, measured at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 24th. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the speed of a pitcher's fastball. It was the speed of Shohei Ohtani's (Los Angeles Dodgers) sixth home run of the season. The Dodgers were playing the Washington Nationals on the road, and with his team leading 3-1 in the top of the ninth inning, Ohtani took a two-pitch splitter up the middle off Nats reliever Matt Barnes and lifted it over the right-center field fence for a wedge solo home run. The home run was measured at a whopping 450 feet (137.2 meters). But even more impressive than the distance was the ball's shocking speed of 118.7 mph. The Washington outfielders could only watch as the ball soared through the air and into the second level of the outfield bleachers at Nationals Park. According to MLB.com's Sarah Lance, it was the fastest home run hit by a Dodgers player since 2015 in the statcast era. It was also Ohtani's fastest bat speed in his major league debut. It is tied for 12th on the all-time list with Giancarlo Stanton's (New York Yankees) home run on Sept. 29, 2017, against the Atlanta Braves. Stanton's 121.7 mph (195.9 km/h) home run on Aug. 10, 2018, against the Texas Rangers is the fastest of all time. Ohtani's home run surprised more people than he did. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was reminded of Stanton and Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) when he saw Ohtani's home run, said, “Not many hitters can hit like that. It was definitely a liner with topspin,” Roberts said of Ohtani's shot to the second deck of the outfield. Teammate James Outman summed it up in one word: “It was like a cruise missile.” Otani actually had a rough start to the season, as he was still reeling from the trauma of his interpreter's offense earlier in the season. However, he quickly found his stride and returned to the form everyone knew. After hitting his first home run nine games into the season, Ohtani is now tied for first on the team with Mookie Betts with six home runs. He also has a .364 batting average and a 1.107 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage). He leads the National League in batting average, OPS, slugging percentage (.677), hits (36), doubles (11), and total bases (67). Had Ohtani been able to bat second or play consistent defense at any position, Betts might not have been at the top of MLB.com's MVP mock voting results, which were released on Nov. 23. Regardless, Ohtani is still Ohtani. <https://www.totosafeguide.com>

 The Hanwha Eagles' defense collapsed collectively. And there was nothing the mighty Ryu Hyun-jin (37-Hanwha Eagles) could do about it. Ryu started the game against the KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on April 24 and allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits, four walks, two wild pitches and four strikeouts in five innings. Chasing 100 career wins. He earned his first win in the KBO after 12 years with a six-inning no-hitter against the Doosan Bears on Nov. 11. However, on the 17th, he pitched seven innings of three-run ball against the NC Dinos, but the offense didn't help him and he ended the game in a no-decision. Another shot at 100 wins. The defense was just too good. Hanwha made only two errors on the day. Both were critical moments that led to runs. Even though they weren't recorded as errors, the sloppy defense led to extra bases. With a 1-0 lead after Jonathan Peraza's solo home run in the top of the first, Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound in the bottom of the inning. He got the first three outs. It was clean. The top of the second inning was more of the same. He got Moon Sang-chul and Jang Jang-woo to ground out to short and Hwang Jae-gyun to strike out looking. The defense continued to play smoothly until the second inning, easing Ryu's shoulders. It started to wobble in the third inning. The ABS didn't seem to be working. The leadoff batter, Choi Soo-ho, was hit by a straight ball. It was ruled a ball as it was slightly outside the strike zone. Ryu was embarrassed because he was recognized for his fastball in the major leagues. He also gave up a fastball to Ahn Chi-young. He induced a grounder to the second baseman for the first out. A straight ball to Kim Sang-soo put runners on first and second, and Chun Sung-ho singled. As the ball kept leaving the strike zone, the throw to beat the count became a hit. Kang Baek-ho followed with an RBI single. Rojas got a grounder to the third baseman to cut Baek-ho off at second, but the runner from third was allowed to score as Rojas was saved on a video review at first base. Moon induced a wild swing with a changeup at 2S to get the out to end the inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Hanwha defense had a “collective meltdown. As the defense faltered, Ryu Hyun-jin also collapsed without a solution. A leadoff double by Jang Jang-woo, a sacrifice bunt by Hwang Jae-gyun, and an infield single by Choi Sung-ho put runners on first and third. Ahn Chi-young's grounder to shortstop was misplayed by the second baseman, allowing the runners to advance to third and home. Kim Sang-soo followed with a double to center field, but Chun Sung-ho's throw to shortstop was misplayed by the shortstop. Kim Sang-soo came home to score another run. Kang Baek-ho and Rojas were retired, but the deficit grew to seven runs. Facing a single with one out in the bottom of the fifth, Ryu retired Hwang Jae-gyun and Cho Myung-ho on a fly ball to left field and a strikeout, respectively, to end the fifth. His total pitch count was 79. On the day, Ryu topped out at 145 mph, mixing his changeup (17), curveball (13), and cutter (8). Ryu was eventually replaced by Jang Min-jae in the bottom of the sixth inning, leaving his 100th career win on the back burner. Unable to overcome the shock of the defensive collapse, Hanwha fell to a 7-1 defeat. <https://www.totopick.pro>

[block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/f3d36c7-image.png", null, null ], "align": "center" } ] } [/block] <br> Arsenal are looking to bolster their midfield. “Arsenal and Manchester City are seriously considering a move for Bruno Guimaraes (26, Newcastle) ahead of this summer's transfer window,” British outlet Tribal Football reported on Thursday. Arsenal are one of the favorites to win the Premier League this season. After 34 games in the league, they are currently in a tight race at the top of the table with 77 points from 24 wins, five draws, and five losses. A solid midfield has been a driving force for Arsenal. Martin Ødegaard, 25, has been a key part of the team's rise, working seamlessly with Declan Rice, 25, who joined last summer. It's not as if they don't need any more midfield reinforcements. With the future of Jorginho (32) and Thomas Partey (30) unclear this summer, a replacement is needed to fill the void. Guimarães has been on Arsenal's shortlist of targets. According to reports, the Gunners are facing stiff competition from Man City and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for his signature this summer. Guimarães is considered one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Since joining Newcastle in 2022, he has turned heads around the world with his wide vision and accurate kicking. He has already established himself as an integral part of Newcastle's core. With four goals and eight assists in 44 games across all competitions this season, he is considered an indispensable part of the Magpies' team. He is also making his mark with the Brazilian national team. A member of the Brazilian national team since 2020, Guimarães played 79 minutes in last month's friendly against England. Arsenal's interest in Guimarães is serious. “Arsenal, who have a number of Brazilian players such as Gabriel Jesus (27), Gabriel Martinelli (22) and Gabriel Magalhaes (26), believe Guimarães would fit in well with their squad,” according to Tribal Football. The signing is not guaranteed. Newcastle are reportedly keen to build next season's squad around Guimarães despite their financial difficulties. The player himself is not keen on a move. Guimarães is happy in Newcastle and is reportedly looking for a new home outside of the city with his wife and two children. <https://www.oncasinosite.net>

<br> Choi Jung-jeong (37-SSG Landers) was lucky enough to catch the KBO's longest home run hit by Kia Tigers fan Kang Sung-koo (38). While watching the SSG-Lotte Giants game of the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on April 24, Kang caught Choi's home run in the top of the fifth inning with his glove. This home run made KBO history. With his 468th career home run, Choi became the KBO's all-time leader in career home runs, surpassing Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop, who hit 467 home runs in his career. The historic ball is back in the best hands, as Kang graciously donated it to SSG. Mr. Kang, a Seoul-based office worker, is currently working in Busan for a company project. An avid Kia fan, he visited the stadium that day because a senior in his company asked him to check out Lotte's home game schedule. “I didn't have a particularly good dream, but I picked up some tissues like Shohei Otani (who picks up other people's trash to pick up luck), and I think good energy came to me,” Kang laughs. “I saw that Choi Jung was challenging for the record for the most home runs, so I analyzed the direction of his home run and bought tickets for seats under the Rocket Battery Zone in the outfield, and the direction of the home run was exactly right.” “I thought I couldn't catch the ball, but when I saw that I caught it in one motion with my glove, I felt like I was dreaming,” he said. I usually play social baseball, and it was a great experience.” Kang received a gift worth 15 million won for donating the home run ball. For catching the historic ball, the SSG organization will provide Kang with two 2024-2025 Live Zone season tickets, an autographed bat and large logo ball signed by Choi Jeong-jeong, two tickets to participate in the 2025 spring training tour, an E-Mart online gift certificate (1.4 million won), a free Starbucks drink for one year, an overnight stay at Chosun Hotel, and an SSG.com gift certificate (500,000 won). “When I saw the free Starbucks voucher for a year, I gladly donated the home run ball. My brother is an SSG fan, so I plan to give him season tickets and other SSG-related gifts,” he said. Finally, Kang said, “I was heartbroken and sorry that Choi couldn't play (after being hit in the side by a ball in a game against KIA on the 17th),” adding, “I hope KIA wins the championship this season, not SSG.” <https://www.sportstoto.link>

 SSG Landers slugger Choi Jung (37) breaks the record for most career home runs The spectator who caught the ball was neither an SSG fan nor a Lotte Giants fan. Choi's record-breaking ball went into the glove of Kia Tigers fan Kang Sung-koo. Choi started the game against the Lotte Giants of the 2024 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on April 24, batting third and hitting a solo home run to left field off Lotte starter Lee In-bok in the top of the fifth inning. With SSG trailing 4-7 in the top of the fifth inning, Choi came to bat with the bases loaded and no outs, and when Lee In-bok's first-pitch slider was a wild pitch in the middle of the strike zone, Choi pulled it over the left-field wall. The crowd was buzzing with anticipation for Choi to break the record for most career home runs. Every time Choi stepped to the plate, the crowd gathered in the left-field bleachers, where he has hit the most home runs. The moment Choi's pitch sailed over the plate, the crowd rushed toward the ball. Among them was Kang Sung-koo, who caught the historic ball. Born in 1986, the office worker originally lives in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, but has been working in Busan since late last year. He came to the stadium when he realized that Choi was going to try to break the record for the most home runs in a career. Mr. Kang graciously donated the memorial ball to Choi, who was able to hold it in his arms. In an interview after the game, Kang Sung-koo said, “I have been working in Busan since November last year for a company project. A senior member of my company asked me if there was a game in Sajik, so I checked and found out that the opposing team was SSG.” ‘Choi Jung-jeong was challenging the record for the most home runs in his career, so I went to the stadium myself.’ Mr. Kang Sung-koo said, “I sat where my baseball buddy told me to sit. I chose the seats because Choi Jung hit a lot of home runs in that direction,” he said. When asked if he had a good dream, Kang said, “I didn't have a good dream. I picked up a tissue like Shohei Ohtani did, and it seems like good luck came to me.” “I thought I couldn't catch the ball because it was low, but it was in my glove. My hand hurt the moment I caught it, but I felt so good that I forgot about the pain. It was like a dream,” he said. “I play left field for a social baseball team called the Yeongrak Eternals,” said Kang Sung-koo, who loves watching and playing baseball. It's worthwhile to play social baseball,” he smiled. When Choi was close to breaking the record for the most home runs in a career, SSG announced that they would offer a 'big benefit' for donating a home run ball. In return for donating the home run ball, Mr. Kang Sung-koo receives a gift worth 15 million won. He will receive two 2024-2025 Live Zone season tickets, a bat autographed by Choi Jung, a large logo ball signed by the team, and two tickets to participate in SSG's spring training tour in 2025. They will also receive an E-Mart online gift certificate worth KRW 1.4 million, a free Starbucks drink for one year, a KRW 750,000 accommodation voucher for Chosun Hotel, and a KRW 500,000 gift certificate for SSG.com. “My younger brother is an SSG fan,” said Kang Sung-koo, a Kia fan. I'll think about whether to give the season ticket to him. I'll think about it later,” he said, emphasizing, ‘I was greedy for a Starbucks drink voucher, and I thought I'd donate it if I caught the ball.’ Kang Sung-koo said, “KIA will win the championship this year. I hope that Kim Do-young will be as good as Choi Jeong,” and ended the interview by cheering for KIA. <https://www.majortotosite.top>

'He doesn't watch football and comes out to commentate...' Dele Alli has disappointed soccer fans yet again. He's completely destroyed any hopes we had for him. It"s almost like he"s trying to figure out how to ruin his career. This time, he was criticized by fans for going on air as a soccer commentator. He was criticized by fans for his gibberish and poor broadcasting. It wasn't just that he didn't know what to say. He was fundamentally unprepared for the broadcast. Fans were disappointed with Ali's performance, as if he hadn't watched soccer at all this season. Alli, who was once touted as the "future of English soccer" and the centerpiece of Tottenham Hotspur's attacking squad alongside Son Heung-min, was once again a broken man in public. This time, he gave the worst on-air commentary ever. "Viewers were left convinced that Alli hadn't watched soccer at all after watching Monday Night Football," the Daily Star reported on Jan. 16 (KST). Ali appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports' popular program 'Monday Night Football (MNF)' after the 33rd round match of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) season between Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge in London, England. The Everton player is currently injured and unable to play. Given his injury, his public profile, and his EPL career, it makes sense for him to be on the show. Of course, it's not a good sign for his former club Tottenham. Alli left Tottenham for Everton as a free agent in January 2022, failing to meet the £10 million release clause in the deal that required him to make 20 appearances. Alli has appeared in 13 of those games so far, and this broadcast will leave him with seven games to fulfill. It's a missed opportunity for Tottenham to earn £10 million. In any case, Alli has ventured into new territory with his commentary. But in the end, it was better that he didn't. The broadcast, which began after Everton's devastating 0-6 defeat to Chelsea, shocked viewers with his gibberish. He didn't seem to have done any basic preparation for the show, failing to answer questions from his co-hosts Jamie Carragher and Ollie Watkins, leaving fans convinced that he hadn't watched any soccer this season. Many fans took to social media to criticize Ali, saying, "Ali clearly hasn't watched a single game of soccer all season. It was very bad," they wrote on social media. <br> [www.cmriindia.org/esports-betting-site/](http://www.cmriindia.org/esports-betting-site/)

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has issued a warning to his players for doing 'stupid' things. Chelsea thrashed Everton 6-0 in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 Premier League (PL) season at Stamford Bridge in London, England, on Saturday (Jan. 16). It was a dominant win. Cole Palmer completed an early hat trick, scoring in the 13th, 18th, and 29th minutes of the first half. Nicola Jackson added another in the 44th minute. Chelsea closed out the first half 4-0 to take an early lead. Chelsea's goal fireworks didn't end there. In the 19th minute of the second half, Palmer scored his fourth goal from the penalty spot (PK) to reach the 20-goal milestone in the league, tying him with Elling Holland (Manchester City) for the league lead. Chelsea added a second-half injury-time goal from Alfie Gilchrist to seal the 6-0 victory. The win extends Chelsea's unbeaten run in the league to eight games (W4 D4 L4) and puts them in ninth place with 47 points. Just three points separate them from sixth-place Newcastle United, who have played one more game, and seventh-place Manchester United (50 points). On their current form, the Blues are well within reach of qualifying for next season's European competition. It was a perfect day for Chelsea, but there was one glaring omission. The players even got into a minor scuffle over who would be the PK kicker. In the 16th minute of the second half, Noni Madueke was awarded a PK when he was tripped by a defender while dribbling. Chelsea's designated PK kicker is Palmer. However, Madueke refused to give the ball to Palmer, as if he wanted to take the kick himself. Eventually, captain Connor Gallagher stole the ball and passed it to Palmer. Jackson saw this and joined the fray, trying to wrestle the ball away. There was some chest shoving in the process, and Madueke stormed off in a huff. Palmer took over the kicker duties and calmly split the net. Order on the team was completely broken. According to the UK's Mirror, Jackson didn't even join the celebrations after Palmer scored. The Daily Mail added: "Three Chelsea players were involved in a scuffle. Gallagher and Palmer had to push Madueke out of the way," according to the Daily Mail. Pochettino was furious: "I can't accept this behavior. I told the players that this is the last time. It's not a joke. It's impossible to behave like this after a performance like this. If we want to be a great team, we have to change and think in a way that is good for the team." Pochettino also said, "The PK kicker is a farmer. He is the one who has to decide whether to give the ball to his teammate or not. "We acted like children today," Pochettino said, "and that's a shame. It's the process of a young team that has to learn a lot. I apologize to the fans, the players have to learn and be professional. We have to focus on the team. It shows that we are still learning," he emphasized. The commentators on the game were equally dismayed. "Oh my God," said Alan Smith, a former Man United player, before adding: "A team that's winning 4-0 is arguing amongst themselves. What's going on? It's really bad. Who's the PK kicker? It's Palmer. Give him the ball." Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher added: "It's just ridiculous. It's ridiculous." Palmer, meanwhile, didn't want to make a big deal out of it: "They wanted other players to take the PK, I can understand that. It was 4-0. But I'm the PK kicker, and I wanted to kick it myself." "I think I showed that we all wanted to take responsibility. Maybe it was a little too much, but we all want to win. We were laughing and joking around."

<br> The "mockery" of Harry Kane (30, Bayern Munich), the "curse of irrelevance," never ends. "Kingsley Coman (27, Munich) missed out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in 12 years due to the Kane curse," said the foreign media 'BInSport' on the 16th (Korea time). "Leverkusen's victory was not only the first in history, but also highlighted the 'Kane curse'." "Kane is the best striker in the world, yet he has failed to lift the trophy," he added. Coman, who played for Juventus, has been in a Munich jersey since 2015. "Having been crowned league champion every season since the age of 16 (including his time at Juventus), Comand's 'winning streak' has come to a halt," said BeInSport. Is Kane's curse real or just a coincidence?", mocking Kane. Kane moved to Munich just before the season to shake off his 'irrelevance' at Tottenham, but finished the Bundesliga empty-handed. 'Contenders' Bayer 04 Leverkusen clinched the title with a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in the 29th round of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga on Friday at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Cologne, Germany. With the three points, Leverkusen has 79 points (25 wins, 4 draws). Leverkusen's league title is assured because second-place Bayern Munich and third-place VfB Stuttgart (both on 63 points) will not reach 79 points even if they win all of their remaining matches. It would be the first league title in the history of the club, which was founded in 1904. Kane is empty-handed again. Kane, who has been linked with Tottenham since joining the club's youth team in 2004, traveled to Germany this season in search of a 'trophy' but had to watch Leverkusen win the title. He's been a star for Tottenham. He scored 30 English Premier League (EPL) goals last season, giving him 213 career EPL goals and moving him past Wayne Rooney (208) into second place on the all-time EPL goalscoring list. Kane's long career at Tottenham hasn't exactly been one for the 'trophies', and in his first season in Munich, he didn't even make it to the top of the league. Coman, on the other hand, has won the league title every season since the age of 16 with Juventus. However, he failed to reach the top of the league when he was paired with Kane. There is still hope for Kane. Munich are in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. They drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg. They will play the second leg on the 18th. <br> [www.mttotosite.com/](http://www.mttotosite.com/)

<br> George Assi (20, West Ham) has returned home. West Ham United announced on its official website on Friday afternoon (ET) that George Assi has been discharged from the hospital and is on his way home after collapsing. The Hammers hosted Fulham at the London Stadium in London, England, on Sept. 14, losing 0-2 in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season. After failing to pick up a point, the Hammers remain in eighth place in the league with 48 points (W13 D9 L11). Needing to chase down seventh-place Manchester United (50 points) in a tightly contested race, the Hammers were unable to accumulate points. Worse than the inability to pick up points was the dizzying head injury to "promising youngster" George Assi. In the 37th minute of the second half, with the Hammers trailing 0-2, Moyes brought Michael Antonio to the bench in favor of youngster George Assi. It was Assi's first Premier League start. He was a little tentative, but calmly received the ball and passed it on. About three minutes into the second half, in the 40th minute, Assi had an accident. After a move with Edson Alvarez, Assi tried to win an aerial ball and collided with Alvarez, knocking him to the ground. Alvarez's urgent gestures brought the medical team to the scene, and after seven minutes of medical attention, he was stretchered off the field. Eleven minutes of stoppage time were played and the game ended in a 0-2 defeat for West Ham. Assi is one of the Hammers' 'Holy Grail Youth', having worked his way up from the U-6s. He signed a professional contract with the club in June 2022 at the age of 17. He was an integral part of the team's success in the FA Youth Cup and U-18 Premier League in the 2022-2023 season. Assi's professional debut came on March 15, when he came on as a second-half substitute against SC Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League round of 16. The Hammers went on to win 5-0 against Freiburg. Moyes was more than surprised to see his favorite prospect go down. After the game, the Hammers announced on their official website that "Assi will undergo further tests at a hospital in London after the game. He was forced to be substituted in added time." Moyes added: "He suffered a head injury. Thankfully, he regained consciousness and was taken straight to hospital for further tests," Moyes explained his situation. "We will keep you updated on his condition," the club added. On the afternoon of the 15th, West Ham provided an update on Assi's latest situation. "He has undergone further tests at a nearby hospital. He will now begin the process of returning to action in accordance with Football Association and Premier League guidelines." According to the club, West Ham's Director of Performance Richard Collinge said: "Assi is going home. We will now allow him to work on his return to play program over the next few days. We will continue to monitor his condition." The club added: "We at West Ham would like to thank our pitcheside rescue team, Medic24. We would also like to thank the fans for their many messages of support for Assi. Everyone at West Ham wishes him a safe and speedy recovery." [www.casinositekim.com/](http://www.casinositekim.com/)
