This is the Current State of England’s Test Team 1. Ben Duckett 2. - 3. - 4. Joe Root 5. Harry Brook 6. Ben Stokes 7. Jamie Smith+ 8. Gus Atkinson 9. - 10.- 11. - Bowling Lineup 1. - 2. Gus Atkinson 3. Gus Atkinson - 4. - 5. - Of the 16 Positions in a Test Lineup, England have covered 7. That in my opinion is problematic against the Better Teams. One could say that it’s unfair to leave out Archer and Wood. My response to that is, I just witnessed Archer bowl in the 80s during a T20 Match. Two, can Mark Wood be a primary option if there’s uncertainty around Ben Stokes ability to bowl? Can Wood be 1 of 4 Bowlers? #EnglandCricket Sportsology Group Twenty First Group

This is my latest article on the NL Central Division leading Milwaukee Brewers for LastWordOnSports.com.

https://lnkd.in/eEQD7gqJ This interview with Francisco Lindor of the Mets, after he broke up a no-hitter in the ninth inning two days ago, tying the game and leading to an eventual Mets' win, is an understated lesson in non-hierarchical leadership from a peer. I recommend viewing for the 3+ minutes to hear how: (1) The leader recognizes not his personal achievement, but how it contributed to the team goal: His homerun was "only big because we ended up winning." (2) The leader focuses on his teammates and their contributions, recognizing the team effort, and minimizing his individual performance. (3) Most poignant, the leader puts things in perspective. This game was on 9/11, and he shows that a leader recognizes that there is always something bigger than a "win," whether it be in baseball or business. On that solemn day, he recognizes first responders and "all the people who really do a hard job in life," saying: "My problems in baseball are Disney problems." Excellent, unintended and unscripted, lesson in leadership.

Scully Spikes of the Day Who Will Win This Year’s 2024 Home Run Derby? The event showcases some of the best power-hitting sluggers in the game. The Home Run Derby is a perennial event to watch every year and always brings excitement. This year’s contestants: Pete Alonso - 19 HR (+330) Marcell Ozuna – 26 HR (+425) Bobby Witt Jr. – 16 HR (+425) Gunnar Henderson – 28 HR (+475) Adolis Garcia – 17 HR (+550) Teoscar Hernandez – 19 HR (+950) Jose Ramirez – 23 HR (+1300) Alec Bohm – 11 HR (+1600) *odds via FanDuel Scully’s Take: All these guys have a great shot at winning; there is no bad pick. But two players stand out to us to take home the crown. First, there is always value in the player from the hosting city. Adolis Garcia is one of the best power hitters in the game and will have all the support from the Rangers fans at the event tonight. However, our favorite pick to take home the crown tonight is Pete Alonso. It is almost like “The Polar Bear” is meant for this event. If he were to win in Dallas tonight, he would join Ken Griffey Jr. as the only two players to win the event three times. So tonight, we are rooting for history. #HomeRunDerby #MLB #PeteAlonso #AdolisGarcia #PowerHitters

Happy Opening Day! Check out this article to get all of your info surrounding today’s events and get ready to help us cheer the reds to their first win of the season! #GoReds #ATOBTTR

This weekend, Atlanta’s unexpectedly perfect weather wasn’t the only highlight—I hit the pickleball court + walked away with a medal! 🏅 Thanks to Amateur Pickleball Association for organizing such a fun tournament... But here’s the real kicker: pickleball isn’t just about hitting the ball—it’s all about strategy. Imagine this: the ball comes at you fast. Do you go for a power drive or drop it lightly into the non-volley zone? It’s all about timing and precision, just like in business. Knowing when to go all in or when to make the tough call can make or break a game... or an organization’s future... Balancing work & play? That’s the sweet spot. This tournament was a great reminder of why both matter. Whether I’m on the court or working with my team to close deals, it’s all about growing and winning together ⚡ Now, who’s ready for a little friendly competition? Let’s go! #Pickleball #SalesLeadership #WorkHardPlayHard #AtlantaVibes #APA #WeekendWarrior

BUILT DIFFERENT! By now you have likely seen images and/or headlines around Baltimore Orioles catcher James McCann taking a 95mph pitch to the nose and proceeding to catch 8 innings. Are you kidding me? Meanwhile, my son also took an unfortunate blow last week while catching the 16u semifinal game of the Marucci World Series in Baton Rouge. He too would go on to finish the game behind the plate. As I’ve stated previously, if you are going to be in the game (baseball, investment markets,etc.) even with appropriate protections in place, there is a level of ever present risk that must be accepted in order to perform at the highest level for both yourself and your team. When my son went down in agony, I didn’t budge because I knew his coaches would take care of him. One coach firmly told him to sit up when clearly it was the last thing he wanted to do, a 2nd coach ran to get water as he settled and finally our head coach would give him a hug, say something in his ear and walk away with a smile. “It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!” - Rocky Balboa Not everyone can be BUILT DIFFERENT like catchers but the next best thing is having a team of coaches (aka advisors) to help pick you up when needed most. If you are confident enough not to budge when times get tough, you have a winning team.
