It’s the ‘greatest’ ranking race of all time. It’s bloody on the field, but so much fun to watch. Who will cry and laugh in the second half?

The 2024 KBO League enters the second half of the season with five games in nine days.

The viewing point for the second half is clear. It’s a completely unpredictable standings battle.

It’s an epic battle. Every team has a goal. It’s interesting to see that there are no losers in the race for the title and fall baseball.

First, the championship race. The Kia Tigers swept the Samsung Lions at the end of the first half to take a 3.5-game lead, but it’s too early to rest on their laurels. They immediately open the second half with a three-game series against the second-place LG Twins. Depending on the outcome of this three-game series, the race for the top spot could change again.

Doosan, who have made a fresh start by replacing all their pitchers with foreigners, will also need to be careful. Given that Alcantara was virtually shut down, the math says that if Balajovic and Shirakawa can do more than that, Doosan’s chances of winning could be even higher. Samsung has also lost five in a row down the stretch, but they can’t be discounted as they’ve been on a winning streak and a losing streak this season.

Even more interesting than the race for first place is the battle for fifth place.

From fifth to 10th place, you never know who will have the last laugh. The fifth-place SSG Landers and 10th-place Kiwoom Heroes are separated by only five games. Kiwoom’s six-game winning streak at the end of the first half of the season ignited the race for last place.

No team is particularly strong, so it’s unpredictable. SSG Landers and NC Dinos have good base power. 해외 카지노 사이트 KT Wiz is the top dark horse in the second half. The team looks to repeat last season’s miracle of rising from last place to second place this year. The Lotte Giants have also come back from the dead in the first half thanks to the grit of coach Kim Tae-hyung and a strong offense. The Hanwha Eagles have also changed their fortunes with the appointment of Kim Kyung-moon. With the addition of Kim’s trusted assistant coach Yang Seung-kwan and pitching coach Yang Sang-moon, the team is expected to look even more different.

The biggest contributor to this season’s “honey jam” is Kiwoom. In fact, the team was rated as the worst team in the history of the game, with Lee Jung-hoo and Ahn Woo-jin missing. It was said that they could have lost 100 games before the season. However, the young players, led by head coach Hong Won-ki, have been performing beyond expectations. Especially the foreigners have been too good. As long as the league’s strongest one-two punch of Hurado-Heisus and Dawson, who is also a big man, doesn’t suffer from injuries, Kiwoom is a team to be reckoned with.

Lim Jong-sung, who wore the iconic number 36 during his playing days with the Doosan Bears, became a hero of the Futures All-Star Game. Manager Lee Seung-yeop has identified him as the Bears’ next third baseman.

Doosan rookie infielder Lim Jong-sung, 19, started at third base for the Northern All-Stars at the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Futures All-Star Game at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on May 5, going 2-for-4 with two doubles (one home run), one RBI and one run scored.

From his first at-bat, Lim made his mark on the fans of the 10 clubs. With the score tied 0-0 and the bases loaded in the top of the second inning, he hit a leadoff solo home run off Southern All-Star starter Han Cha-hyun (KT Wiz). Despite the unfavorable count of 1B-2S, he took a four-pitch pitch from Han and connected with it for a 120-meter home run to left-center field.

It was the first home run of the Futures League’s ‘0-homer’0 Lim Jong-seong since joining the professional ranks.

After striking out in the fourth inning and grounding out in the seventh inning, Lim came to the plate in the top of the eighth inning with the score 5-9 and hit a single to right field against Jeong Hyun-soo (Lotte Giants) for a multi-hit game. Ham Chang-geon (LG Twins) and Lim Jong-sung were the only other Northern All-Stars with more than two hits.

Im Jong-sung also had a “crazy presence” on defense. Down 2-9 with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, he made a spectacular diving jumping catch on a line drive by Choi Jae-jin and threw it to first base to extend the out, 온라인카지노사이트 and in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 5-9, he made a diving catch on a line drive by Lee In-han and threw it cleanly to second base. It looked like the talent to succeed Heo Kyung-min as Doosan’s starting third baseman had been born.

Lim Jong-sung was named the Futures All-Star Game’s Most Valuable Player for his offensive performance.

He received 1 million won in prize money and Mediheal cosmetics products as a consolation prize.

Upon hearing about Lim’s performance, manager Lee Seung-yeop told reporters at Jamsil Stadium on Aug. 8, “He didn’t have a home run this season, but he hit one there. Is he a star player?” He laughed and said, “Our young player went to the Futures All-Star Game and showed good performance in front of baseball fans. I didn’t know how good he was because I only saw his second-team results, but he hit a home run in such an important game. I think it was an opportunity for people to recognize his name,” said Lee with a proud smile.

Lim Jong-sung is an infield prospect who was selected by Doosan with the 22nd overall pick in the third round of the 2024 KBO Draft out of Gyeongbuk High School, Lee’s alma mater. Upon joining the team, he proudly wore the number 36, which was Lee’s number during his playing days, and was invited to the star-studded festival after batting 2-for-5 with eight runs and 15 RBIs in 47 games in the Futures League.

A Doosan representative at the Futures All-Star Game said, “Jong-sung Lim is a prospect that the organization is looking to develop into an infield starter in two years. He’s been making a name for himself in the Futures League, and the club is keeping a close eye on his play.”

The manager went on to evaluate Lim Jong-sung as a third baseman who could succeed Heo Kyung-min in the future.

“The second-team evaluation is very good. I think he can have more value than his performance. I keep hearing reports that he has the qualities to be Doosan’s starting third baseman in the long run, so I’m watching his performance closely these days.” “I heard that he works very hard and sincerely in the second team. I think I’ll see him in the first team someday,” he said, noting the 19-year-old’s potential.

“My older brother, who is in the third grade, was injured, so I suddenly got to play, and I’m happy to hit a home run.”

Seoul High School freshman Kim Ji-woo (16) announced his star emergence with a huge home run in the second game of the 79th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship and weekend league championship between Seoul High School and Korea Masa BC at Mokdong Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Monday.

Kim, who started the game as the No. 5 designated hitter, stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the top of the fourth inning with his team leading 9-1 and took a pitch from Korea Masa BC pitcher Kim Chang-ju. The ball went straight down the left-field line and cleared the left-field fence. The dugout and the stands erupted in gasps and applause. The ball traveled about 130 meters and reached a speed of 169 kilometers per hour. It was a big home run that is rarely seen in high school baseball.

Kim Ji-woo, a freshman, made a surprise appearance as the designated hitter when the starting third-year player was suddenly injured. But he lived up to the faith of Seoul High coach Kim Dong-soo. He drew a walk in his first at-bat in the first inning and reached base on an infield single in the third inning on a ball that nearly went to the left of the second baseman. In the fourth inning, she capped it off with her biggest home run of the day. She went 2-for-2 with a double, one walk, one RBI and three runs scored before being replaced by Kim Se-jung in the fifth inning. She reached base in every at-bat and scored in every at-bat, contributing to Seoul Go’s fifth-inning comeback win.

After the game,

Kim Ji-woo smiled shyly, saying, “I knew I wasn’t supposed to play today, but I suddenly got the chance to play, so I thought I would try to hit the ball well to avoid embarrassing my brothers, but I didn’t expect to hit a home run.”

Kim Ji-woo, who attended Seoul’s Isu Elementary School and Gangnam Middle School before entering Seoul High this year, had already made a name for himself as a promising player at Gangnam Middle. With a height of 184 centimeters and a solid physique, he already attracted attention as a pitcher in middle school, 카지노사이트 추천 posting a fastball in the 140-kilometer range and hitting home runs and other long balls at the plate. This season, he is still going strong, batting .571 with seven hits and four RBIs in nine at-bats in eight games.

“Kim Ji-woo has been a promising player since middle school, and as a pitcher, his fastball is currently around 147~148km and he has a good batting feel,” said Seoul High coach Kim Dong-soo. “His main position right now is third base, and I think he will grow into an infielder and hitter by his sophomore year.” “If he continues to train and work hard, I think he will be a great talent in the KBO in the future,” Kim said.

Kim’s idols are Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is a two-hitter in the major leagues, and Kim Do-young, who has been playing MVP-level baseball for the KIA this season. “I will continue to do my best to become an outstanding player like Kim Do-young and Ohtani,” Kim said.

On the day,

Seoul Go advanced to the Round of 16 with a 15-1 fifth-inning cold-game victory over upstart Korea MasaBC, pounding out 16 hits behind Kim Ji-woo’s evenly matched performance. In the top of the first inning, the team scored five runs on an RBI single by No. 4 Wang Ji-hoon, an RBI double by No. 6 Jeon Yoo-min and an RBI double by No. 7 Kim Ji-heon.

In the bottom of the second inning, Hankook Martha BC pulled within one run, but Seoul came back with four runs in the top of the third. Jeon Yoo-min’s RBI double, Kim Ji-heon’s RBI single, a fielding error and a sacrifice bunt plated one run each.

After Kim Ji-woo’s grand slam in the top of the fourth inning made it 10-1, Seoul Go exploded for five runs in the top of the fifth inning and held the opposing bats scoreless in the bottom of the fifth inning to secure the 15-1 fifth inning victory. In addition to Kim Ji-woo, who hit a huge home run, No. 6 hitter Jeon Yoo-min went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored, and No. 7 hitter Kim Ji-heon went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored.

Game 2 of the 79th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship between Ansan Industrial High School and Kyungmin IT High School at Shinwol Baseball Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday. Ansan Technical High School freshman Stable Hyuk (16) went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to lead the team to a 10-0 victory.

Starting at second base and batting second on the day, Steady started the game with a double to center field with runners on first and second in the top of the second inning. After the hit, he stole second base to capitalize on the offensive opportunity.

It was good to be able to come out in Cheongnyonggi this time, but I want to continue to win and go up.” He also revealed his future aspirations, saying, “I want to be a hitter with good contact and batting average like LG Hong Chang-ki, who is a senior at my school, and I want to be a hitter who grows more and more like Kim Hye-sung of Kiwoom.”

After taking a 3-0 lead in the second inning

Ansan Industrial High School scored seven runs in the third inning to complete the big inning. RBI singles by Han Yi-bin (junior), Lee Byung-joon (junior), 카지노사이트 and a sacrifice flyout by Lee Jung-hwan (junior) made it 8-0, and then, with runners on second and third, Kang Min-sung (junior) singled to center to make it 10-0.

Manchester United manager Eric den Haag has surpassed Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp in the wins column. According to Tribuna on Thursday, Van Gaal has more points than Arteta and Klopp in his first two seasons. In 86 games over two seasons, van Gaal has 53 wins, nine draws, and 25 losses. That’s a total of 168 points, or 1.95 points per game.

Arteta has 47 wins, 16 draws, and 23 losses in two seasons. He collected 157 points, or 1.83 points per game. Klopp has 178 points from 99 games, a low of 1.8 points per game.

We know the success stories of these two managers, as they turned struggles into progress in their first two seasons. Arteta ushered in a new era of glory for Arsenal with back-to-back runner-up finishes in the next two seasons, 안전놀이터 추천 while Klopp led Liverpool to their first title since the English Premier League’s format change. Both managers are hailed as the greatest of all time.

The situation has left United with a lot to think about.

The club has been debating the future of Van Gaal. Initially, it was thought that Van Gaal would be sacked. This season, the Red Devils have the worst record in the EPL since its inception. They have a goal differential of -1 for the season. It was the first time since the inception of the EPL that United finished eighth and had a negative goal difference.

However, the FA Cup win turned things around. This is the second consecutive season that Van Gaal has won the trophy. Ten Haag won the League Cup last season. As the BBC notes, “Van Gaal became one of only four managers to win the title in consecutive seasons at United. Alex Ferguson, Matt Busby, and Ernest Mangnall are the others.

The BBC also weighed in on the sacking speculation

“When reports emerged that Mourinho would be sacked regardless of the FA Cup result, the club refused to comment. “If they (United) don’t want me, I will go elsewhere to win trophies, that’s what I do,” Ten Haag said. That’s what I do,” he said confidently.

Former Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, and Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna have all been mentioned as possible candidates for the job. However, the case for Ten Haag’s appointment is starting to look more convincing. According to the Manchester Evening News, United are not ruling out the idea of keeping Van Gaal. United’s hierarchy was reportedly impressed with the way van Gaal led them to victory over Man City in the FA Cup final.

According to the Manchester Evening News, 메이저사이트 “If officials unanimously agree to retain Van Gaal in an internal review at the end of the season, he will remain in charge of United next season. Van Gaal’s contract with United runs until the summer of 2025.

Tottenham are looking to sign 2005-born Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham (21-Real Madrid).

‘Tottenham have been scouring the market for a new midfielder for some time, and sources have confirmed their interest in Jobe Bellingham,’ the UK’s TeamTalk reported on April 4 (KST). ‘Tottenham can exclusively reveal that they have been in contact with Jobe’s representatives to confirm the terms of a potential deal,’ it claimed.

Jobe, who plays for Sunderland, is recognized as one of the brightest young talents in the Championship (second tier). He moved to Sunderland from Birmingham City for just £3 million last summer.

His potential has exploded this season, 스포츠토토 scoring seven goals in 47 appearances in the Championship. Sunderland want to keep hold of Jobe. They have made it clear that they have no intention of selling him. However, the second-tier side will find it hard to turn down a big offer, according to Team Talk.

Of course, Jobe is currently outclassed by his older brother Jude.

Jude is the future of English soccer, having just moved from German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

He broke the record for the highest fee ever paid for an English player at his age. The transfer fee was a whopping £115 million (approximately $20 billion). In his first year, Zidane won La Liga and dominated Europe. He recently beat his hometown club Dortmund in the European Champions League final.

Spurs will be counting on Jobe. If he can reach anywhere near the level that his brother Jude has achieved, he could be a fantastic signing for Spurs. 파워볼실시간 Crystal Palace and Brentford are also in the running for Jobe’s signature.

Jobe plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play as a number eight. Sunderland are reportedly planning to ask for more than £20 million for Jobe, nearly 10 times what they paid for him last year.

Shocker. Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr) is in the running to sign Casemiro (Man United).

British media outlet CourtOffside reported on April 4 (ET) that ‘Ronaldo wants to strengthen Al Nasr’s squad. He is personally pushing for the signing of two players, including Casemiro,” the outlet reported.

Ronaldo joined Al Nasr in January last year. Despite joining midway through the 2022-2023 season, he finished fifth on the team’s scoring list with 14 goals. This season, he scored 50 goals in 51 official matches, including four hat-tricks in the regular season. His 35 goals in the regular season, three in cup competitions, six in the Asian Champions League (ACL), and six in the Arab Club Champions Cup were all scored in all competitions. 안전놀이터 His 35 regular-season goals in the Saudi Arabian League are the most in a single season in history. But he never won a single trophy. In the end, he burst into tears on the pitch.

“Despite Ronaldo’s dazzling performances this season, Al Nasr hasn’t lifted a trophy,” said CourtOffside. ‘Ronaldo is keen to help strengthen the side,’ the publication quoted Spanish outlet Marca as saying. Al Nasr are looking to strengthen their squad for the new season. Ronaldo is expected to take active measures, including wanting to sign former teammates.

One of the players Ronaldo is said to want is Casemiro.

‘Casemiro is contracted to United until 2026,’ says CourtsOffside. However, he has only been in the starting lineup for 63% of the English Premier League (EPL) under Eric ten Haag. Casemiro and Ronaldo have won titles together in the European Champions League (UCL) and Spanish Primera Liga. Ronaldo added: “I am confident that the addition of Casemiro will strengthen Al Nasr’s competitiveness.

Casemiro joined United from Real Madrid (Spain) in the summer of 2022, in a transfer that was valued at £60 million. Casemiro became known as a “world-class” player during his time at Real Madrid, where he won trophies. 카지노사이트 추천 He quickly established himself in the first team at United, but his performances have been controversial this season and have been criticized by fans. Due to the team”s situation, he also played as a center back, where his sloppy performances often led to goals.
