Kritik und Lob » to go 1 for 11 with eight strikeo

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame left tackle Mike McGlinchey has about three months until he has to make a decision about his football future, but for now, the redshirt junior captain said he intends to return for a fifth year.Answering a question about his recruiting process, McGlinchey said Wednesday that he entered college with a five-year plan, and he hasnt deviated from that mindset.I have 19 games left here and thats what I fully intend to take on, McGlinchey said. I have a lot left to learn. Im not ready to go anywhere. I have the best in the business coaching me [offensive line coach Harry Hiestand] each and every day, and its to my benefit to stay here and learn from and theres nothing that I can do to want to change that. I have no intention of wanting to change that.Ive played a lot of football so far, but I have a lot left to accomplish and Im not going to put myself in position to go somewhere when Im not full ready to. Im fully confident that I will be ready at some point, but I dont think it will be after this season.Scouts Inc.s Todd McShay lists McGlinchey as the No. 22 overall prospect on his latest draft board, which was released two weeks ago.McGlinchey was asked whether his intentions for next season may change should his stock rise like that of his predecessor, Ronnie Stanley, who was picked sixth overall by the Baltimore Ravens in this years NFL draft.I dont know, I dont really pay attention to all that, McGlinchey said. Its not going to come down to a projection for me. Its going to come down to a mindset and a look in the mirror of whether or not Im ready to go. And based off of what Im feeling now, Im pretty confident that Ill be back here for a fifth year, and its not any major decision, groundbreaking decision. I fully intended to do that when I first got to college.Like I said, I have so much left to learn here and its not going to come down to projections or potential money that I can make. If Im good enough at the point where I feel ready to do it, Ill do it, and those projections will become reality at some point when its my time to be ready to do that.The 6-foot-7?, 310-pound McGlinchey is in his second year as a starter for the Fighting Irish, having played right tackle last season. He saw time in all 13 games as a redshirt freshman, too, and is a first cousin of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.McGlinchey is the third Notre Dame player in the past four years to say in-season that he plans to return to school for another year, but both previous players to say that -- defensive end Stephon Tuitt in 2013 and receiver Will Fuller in 2015 -- ended up declaring for the draft after those respective seasons.Redshirt sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer, who is McShays No. 1 quarterback and No. 18 overall prospect, spoke after McGlinchey on Wednesday but wouldnt entertain draft questions when pressed, saying his focus is on this season.If you know me you know that thats the last thing I want to talk about, Kizer said. The circle that I keep close to me knows that those conversations arent going to happen till they need to.Philadelphia Phillies Gear . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars.

Phillies Jerseys 2019 .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place.WASHINGTON -- By the time Game 1 of the National League Division Series rolls around, Daniel Murphy will have gone three weeks without a start for the Washington Nationals.When the NL East champs host the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday to get things started, one big question will be which team deals better with all the time off since the end of the regular season.Another will be how the Nationals fare without starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg and slugging catcher Wilson Ramos, both sidelined by injuries (Strasburg for the series, Ramos for the season). And yet another will be how key players such as 2015 postseason star (while with the Mets) Murphy, 2015 NL MVP Bryce Harper and franchise stalwart Ryan Zimmerman deal with nagging ailments.Almost everybody has something, Washington manager Dusty Baker said. So our training staff and everybody will be busy working on guys.After giving his players Monday off, Baker will gather them at Nationals Park on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for workouts. One benefit of waiting until Friday to start their postseason is the extra time for dealing with health issues.Murphy last started a game on Sept. 17, kept out by a strained glute muscle. Since then, he has had only three at-bats, including a flyout as a pinch hitter in Sundays regular-season finale. Baker says he expects to have Murphy in the lineup against the Dodgers.What does the player himself say?Its tough to guess whats going to happen on Friday on Sunday, Murphy said. But hopefully.His impact on the Nationals success -- the nearly wire-to-wire division title, the 95 wins, the home-field advantage in the NLDS -- cant be overstated.ddddddddddddA year ago, remember, Murphy starred for the Mets in October, homering in a record six consecutive postseason games and earning NLCS MVP honors. That helped him get a $37.5 million, three-year deal from Washington, with a salary of $8 million in 2016.All Murphy did was hit .347 with 25 homers, 47 doubles and 104 RBI -- all team highs -- and really carry the offense for much of what turned out to be a real down season for Harper.The youngest unanimous MVP in baseball history last season, Harper batted only .243 with 24 homers and 86 RBI in 2016. After hurting his left thumb on a slide in late September, he sat out four games, then returned to go 1 for 11 with eight strikeouts over the last three days of the regular season.Zimmerman, dealing with a bad calf, finished with career lows in batting average (.218), on-base percentage (.272) and slugging percentage (.370).Youve got to tighten up little things, because theres nothing you can about whats already here. You dont have Ramos. You dont have this guy; this guy might not be swinging well; this guy might not be healthy. Or whatever it is. I just have to manage around that. Its not easy. Id rather just have everybody healthy and just have a set lineup, and me just sit back. But Ive never had that. Thats never been the case. So I dont expect that, Baker said. I just burn the midnight oil sometimes and keep that pad by my bed, and when I get a thought, I go with it.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
