Propelled by a MASSIVE 6-run 7th inning the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night. Hayden Wesneski didn't have the game he was looking for in his first start of the season, allowing 3 runs in just 4.2 innings, but the Cubs refused to fall to 1-4 on the season. Wesneski no-decision was backed by clutch RBI hits from Ian Happ, Trey Mancini, Patrick Wisdom and Miles Mastrobuoni in the 7th inning. Come vibe with Luke Stuckmeyer, Ryan Herrera and cody Delmendo as they recap the THRILLING comeback Cubs on the CHGO Cubs LIVE Postgame Podcast.

In the third hour, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes were joined by Cubs outfielder Ian Happ to discuss his preparation for the 2023 season, whether he'll hold in-season contract negotiations with the club and more. Bernstein and Holmes then explained how the Cubs displayed organizational strength and sound pitching infrastructure in trading righty reliever Scott Effross to the Yankees for right-hander Hayden Wesneski during the 2022 season. Wesneski earned the No. 5 spot in the Cubs' rotation this spring. Later, Bernstein explained how managers will be on the clock under the new MLB replay rule.

The Chicago Cubs dropped Game 160 to the Reds, but the silver lining from tonight was surely Hayden Wesneski. Wesneski wraps up a solid first season with a 6-inning, 1 run performance, bringing his season ERA down to 2.45. However, the Cubs offense could not get anything going vs Hunter Greene and the Cubbies fell to the Reds.

Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Pick Prediction 10/3/2022 by Tony T. Cubs at Reds—Hayden Wesneski to start for Chicago. Wesneski appeared in five games with an ERA 2.33 and WHIP 0.96. The righthander is striking out 25% with 5.6% walks. Ground balls dished at 45.2% with 1 home run per nine innings. A FIP 3.33 suggests a rise in ERA based on these numbers. Hunter Greene the starter for Cincinnati. Greene in 23 starts carries an ERA 4.66 and WHIP 1.25. The righty an elite strikeout rate of 30.6% with 9.2% walks. Grounders 29.4% with 3.53 home runs per nine innings.
Corey and Brendan review the Cubs series (and season) sweep over the Phillies by discussing Wesneski's diverse pitch mix, Alzolay's cutter and multiple sliders, Javier Assad's role for 2023, and the Cubs pitching depth as a whole heading into the final week of the season.

Wrigleyville Nation's Podcast - Chicago Cubs Discussion, News, & More
James Neveau, from NBC Chicago, joins Jeremy & Pat this week. We discuss how well Hayden Wesneski has been pitching. Keegan Thompson and Nico Hoerner return from injury. We speculate on all the roster needs going into the off season, and who on the current roster should stay.
This episode starts with a standard recap of the past week of Cubs baseball, one that actually saw the streaking Cubs win 5 of their last 6 games (as of this recording). Adam and Kevin talk about the continued development of Sampson and Wesneski, Esteban Quiroz making the most of his opportunity, and a cool opportunity for some of the Cubs' top minor leaguers. In the second half of the episode (starting at 25:22), Adam and Ken discuss their once in a lifetime experience at the Cubs' Season Ticket Holder Friends and Family event. They played catch on the field, ran the bases, visiting the Cubs dugout and clubhouse, AND MET ANDRE FRIGGIN DAWSON!!! It was a magical day, all made possible by Adam's friend and Cubs season ticket holder Amy. We end this episode by playing part of a Pat Hughes Cameo that Adam and Ken bought Amy to thank her.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Cleveland Guardians 4, Chicago White Sox 2 Chicago Cubs 3, Pittsburgh Pirates 2 Tigers were off Guardians 4, White Sox 2 – Bieber wins again as Guardians beat White Sox 4-2 for sweep Shane Bieber pitched two-run ball into the eighth inning, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 for a three-game series sweep. Cleveland opened a seven-game lead over Chicago in the AL Central with its 15th win in 18 games. The Guardians can clinch the franchise’s first division title since 2018 as early as Sunday. Bieber earned his fourth straight win. Gavin Sheets homered for Chicago in the eighth. Cubs 3, Pirates 2 – Wesneski has immaculate inning, pitches Cubs over Bucs 3-2 Rookie Hayden Wesneski had an immaculate inning in his second major league start to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the skidding Pittsburgh Pirates. Wesneski (2-1) gave up two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings while striking out six and walking two in sending Pittsburgh to its seventh straight loss. It was his fourth appearance in the majors. Acquired from the New York Yankees at the trade deadline, Wesneski had an immaculate inning in the fifth when he struck out the side on nine pitches. The Cubs have a three-game winning streak. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Assad 1-2) at Pittsburgh (Wilson 3-9), 6:35 p.m. Detroit (Rodriguez 3-5) at Chicago White Sox (Giolito 10-9), 8:10 p.m. COSY-FM 7:45 NFL – National Football League – Week 3 Last night Cleveland Brown 29, Pittsburgh Steelers 17 Brown 29, Steelers 17 – Brissett, Browns rebound from collapse, beat Steelers 29-17 Jacoby Brissett threw two touchdown passes, Nick Chubb ran for a score and the Cleveland Browns bounced back from their epic meltdown four days earlier to beat the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 29-17. The Browns built a nine-point lead early in the fourth on Chubb’s 1-yard run and then held on for dear life. On Sunday, Cleveland blew a 13-point lead in the final two minutes and lost by a point to the New York Jets. The Steelers pulled within 23-17 on Chris Boswell’s 34-yard field goal with 1:48 left but couldn’t recover an onside kick. The Browns concluded the game with a meaningless defensive touchdown. Sunday Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings, 1:00 p.m. Rock 107 WIRX 12:00 Houston Texans at Chicago Bears, 1:00 p.m. Kansas City Chiefs aT Indianapolis Colts, 1:00 p.m. NFL – Bears’ Smith misses second straight practice with hip injury Chicago Bears star linebacker Roquan Smith missed his second consecutive practice because of a hip injury, leaving his status for Sunday’s game in question. The Bears are scheduled to host former coach Lovie Smith and the Houston Texans. Smith has played every snap this season. Defensive coordinator Alan Williams said before practice he expected him to be ready to play “as far as I know.” Smith missed the preseason after he opted to “hold-in” with contract extension talks at a standstill. NFL – Smith returns to Soldier Field as Texans seek win over Bears Lovie Smith makes another return to Soldier Field, and the Houston Texans try to pick up their first win when they visit the Chicago Bears. Smith led the Bears to an 81-63 record and a Super Bowl appearance from 2004-12. He is 0-2 against Chicago, with losses coaching Tampa Bay in 2014 at Soldier Field and 2015 at Raymond James Stadium. The Bears have not gotten their passing game going. Justin Fields has attempted a league-low 28 passes. His 15 completions are tied for 31st among qualifiers. Chicago has by far the fewest yards passing at 153 yards.

Charging documents filed in Salt Lake City on Wednesday allege that the student posted threats before Utah’s game against San Diego State University on Saturday. The University of Utah said Thursday that the student admitted to posting the threat and told investigators that it was meant as a joke. Utah defeated San Diego State in Saturday’s game, 35-7. NBA – AP source: Jazz trade Bogdanovic to Detroit for Olynyk, Lee The revamping of the Utah roster continued Thursday with the Jazz agreeing to send forward Bojan Bogdanovic to the Detroit Pistons for forward Kelly Olynyk and guard Saben Lee, according to a person with knowledge of the trade. The person confirmed the trade Thursday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because not all details had been completed. That prevented the deal from being announced by either team. The Jazz now have traded all but one of their primary starters from last season. NBA – Celtics suspend coach Ime Udoka for 2022-23 season The Boston Celtics have suspended coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season. The move takes effect immediately and with no guarantee he will be back with the franchise. The Celtics said Thursday night that Udoka was suspended for “violations of team policies.” Earlier Thursday, two people with knowledge of the matter said Udoka was being sanctioned because of an improper relationship with a member of the organization. Those people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not reveal that detail publicly. NHL – Kane, Toews have no plans to leave the Blackhawks — yet Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews haven’t started making plans to leave the only NHL team they’ve ever played for. The franchise’s marquee names said they aren’t even thinking about it as rebuilding Blackhawks opened training camp Thursday. The 33-year-old Kane and 34-year-old Toews are in the final years of eight-year, $84 million contracts with no movement clauses. Both will become free agents at the end of the 2022-23 season, unless they consent to a trade to another team before then. Golf – Newcomers Young, Homa help US take Presidents Cup lead Cameron Young didn’t flinch in his first Presidents Cup. Neither did Max Homa. They are among the new blood on the United States team and they made the most of their opportunities in alternate-shot play, earning points to help the Americans take a 4-1 lead over the International team at Quail Hollow. Young buried a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th hole as he and Collin Morikawa closed out Tom Kim and K.H. Lee 2-and-1. Homa and Tony Finau won a tight match by making par on the 18th hole after Mito Pereira hooked his drive into the trees.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Cleveland Guardians 4, Chicago White Sox 2 Chicago Cubs 3, Pittsburgh Pirates 2 Tigers were off Guardians 4, White Sox 2 – Bieber wins again as Guardians beat White Sox 4-2 for sweep Shane Bieber pitched two-run ball into the eighth inning, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 for a three-game series sweep. Cleveland opened a seven-game lead over Chicago in the AL Central with its 15th win in 18 games. The Guardians can clinch the franchise’s first division title since 2018 as early as Sunday. Bieber earned his fourth straight win. Gavin Sheets homered for Chicago in the eighth. Cubs 3, Pirates 2 – Wesneski has immaculate inning, pitches Cubs over Bucs 3-2 Rookie Hayden Wesneski had an immaculate inning in his second major league start to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the skidding Pittsburgh Pirates. Wesneski (2-1) gave up two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings while striking out six and walking two in sending Pittsburgh to its seventh straight loss. It was his fourth appearance in the majors. Acquired from the New York Yankees at the trade deadline, Wesneski had an immaculate inning in the fifth when he struck out the side on nine pitches. The Cubs have a three-game winning streak. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Assad 1-2) at Pittsburgh (Wilson 3-9), 6:35 p.m. Detroit (Rodriguez 3-5) at Chicago White Sox (Giolito 10-9), 8:10 p.m. COSY-FM 7:45 NFL – National Football League – Week 3 Last night Cleveland Brown 29, Pittsburgh Steelers 17 Brown 29, Steelers 17 – Brissett, Browns rebound from collapse, beat Steelers 29-17 Jacoby Brissett threw two touchdown passes, Nick Chubb ran for a score and the Cleveland Browns bounced back from their epic meltdown four days earlier to beat the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 29-17. The Browns built a nine-point lead early in the fourth on Chubb’s 1-yard run and then held on for dear life. On Sunday, Cleveland blew a 13-point lead in the final two minutes and lost by a point to the New York Jets. The Steelers pulled within 23-17 on Chris Boswell’s 34-yard field goal with 1:48 left but couldn’t recover an onside kick. The Browns concluded the game with a meaningless defensive touchdown.

The Bears are scheduled to host former coach Lovie Smith and the Houston Texans. Smith has played every snap this season. Defensive coordinator Alan Williams said before practice he expected him to be ready to play “as far as I know.” Smith missed the preseason after he opted to “hold-in” with contract extension talks at a standstill. NFL – Smith returns to Soldier Field as Texans seek win over Bears Lovie Smith makes another return to Soldier Field, and the Houston Texans try to pick up their first win when they visit the Chicago Bears. Smith led the Bears to an 81-63 record and a Super Bowl appearance from 2004-12. He is 0-2 against Chicago, with losses coaching Tampa Bay in 2014 at Soldier Field and 2015 at Raymond James Stadium. The Bears have not gotten their passing game going. Justin Fields has attempted a league-low 28 passes. His 15 completions are tied for 31st among qualifiers. Chicago has by far the fewest yards passing at 153 yards.

The University of Utah said Thursday that the student admitted to posting the threat and told investigators that it was meant as a joke. Utah defeated San Diego State in Saturday’s game, 35-7. NBA – AP source: Jazz trade Bogdanovic to Detroit for Olynyk, Lee The revamping of the Utah roster continued Thursday with the Jazz agreeing to send forward Bojan Bogdanovic to the Detroit Pistons for forward Kelly Olynyk and guard Saben Lee, according to a person with knowledge of the trade. The person confirmed the trade Thursday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because not all details had been completed. That prevented the deal from being announced by either team. The Jazz now have traded all but one of their primary starters from last season. NBA – Celtics suspend coach Ime Udoka for 2022-23 season The Boston Celtics have suspended coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season. The move takes effect immediately and with no guarantee he will be back with the franchise. The Celtics said Thursday night that Udoka was suspended for “violations of team policies.” Earlier Thursday, two people with knowledge of the matter said Udoka was being sanctioned because of an improper relationship with a member of the organization. Those people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not reveal that detail publicly. NHL – Kane, Toews have no plans to leave the Blackhawks — yet Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews haven’t started making plans to leave the only NHL team they’ve ever played for. The franchise’s marquee names said they aren’t even thinking about it as rebuilding Blackhawks opened training camp Thursday. The 33-year-old Kane and 34-year-old Toews are in the final years of eight-year, $84 million contracts with no movement clauses. Both will become free agents at the end of the 2022-23 season, unless they consent to a trade to another team before then. Golf – Newcomers Young, Homa help US take Presidents Cup lead Cameron Young didn’t flinch in his first Presidents Cup. Neither did Max Homa. They are among the new blood on the United States team and they made the most of their opportunities in alternate-shot play, earning points to help the Americans take a 4-1 lead over the International team at Quail Hollow. Young buried a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th hole as he and Collin Morikawa closed out Tom Kim and K.H. Lee 2-and-1. Homa and Tony Finau won a tight match by making par on the 18th hole after Mito Pereira hooked his drive into the trees.

Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction 9/22/2022 by Tony T. Cubs at Pirates—Hayden Wesneski to start for Chicago. Wesneski in three appearances allowed four earned runs with eighteen strikeouts in 15 2/3rd innings. The righty started 19 games in Triple A compiling an ERA 3.51 and WHIP 1.15 striking out 83 in 89 2/3rd innings.
Adbert Alzolay finally returned to action this week, and he looks pretty good, even if we might be looking at a full-time reliever now. Wesneski dominates again, Sampson just keeps pitching well, and we talk about what this all means for how next year's pitching staff shapes up. We also talk free agency rumors, the draft lottery, Canario's 3-homer day for Iowa, and Adam's biggest baseball regret of the year. Don't leave the podcast early! Follow us everywhere @awaygamespod!

Hayden Wesneski turned in one of the most dominant MLB debuts in Cubs recent history but his pitching may not have been the most impressive part of his evening. Andy Martinez and Tony Andracki explain on the latest Cubs Weekly Podcast and chat about Wesneski's role for the rest of the season and in 2023. Plus, the duo discusses Wade Miley's return, next steps for Justin Steele, Keegan Thompson and Adbert Alzolay and Ben Zobrist's future role. Martinez and Andracki also break down the likelihood Franmil Reyes and Rafael Ortega play major roles on the 2023 Cubs.00:46 - Tony and Andy get stumped on this week's trivia question03:34 - Hayden Wesneski's dominant debut: What stood out most?08:10 - Taylor McGregor goes 1-on-1 with Wesneski after the game10:13 - What's next for Wesneski?14:52 - Will we see Steele and Thompson pitch again this season? When might Contreras be back?18:53 - Ben Zobrist potentially having an expanded role with the organization?21:32 - What does the future hold for Franmil Reyes and Rafael Ortega with Cubs?
Forget the St. Louis sweep, we've moved on to bigger things like Hayden Wesneski's dominating debut against the Reds. The man traded for Scott Effross made his MLB debut and dominated, possibly putting himself in line for the next long relief —> starter progression that previously worked so well for Steele and Thompson. We also talk about Jeremiah Estrada's debut and how exciting he looks as a late inning reliever, and Seiya Suzuki's offensive adjustments (good!) and defense (less good than we thought!). Follow us everywhere @awaygamespod!
The Dingers Crew's back together to recap the Cardinals sweep of the Cubs, look forward on the series with the Reds. Wesneski makes his debut and we try to answer the question: Why are the Cubs so bad at baserunning? That and so much more on this week's episode of the DINGERS podcast.

Taylor Ward scored the tying run moments earlier on a throwing error to the plate by shortstop Javier Baez, who had singled home Kody Clemens with the Tigers’ go-ahead run in the top of the 10th. Mike Trout homered in his third consecutive game for the Angels, who have won eight of 11 in their best stretch of play since mid-May. Baez had three RBIs. Mariners 3, White Sox 0 – Gilbert ties high with 9 strikeouts, M’s beat White Sox 3-0 Logan Gilbert tied his career high with nine strikeouts, Cal Raleigh homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 3-0 to keep the AL wild-card race tight.

The union’s deputy executive director sent a letter to MLB claiming a majority of minor leaguers signed authorization cards. The MLBPA launched the minor league unionization drive on Aug. 28. Players with minor league contracts earn as little as $400 weekly during the six-month season. They would become their own bargaining unit within the MLBPA. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – WNBA Semifinals (best of 5) Last Night Connecticut Sun 104, Chicago Sky 80 (Series tied 2-2) Las Vegas Aces 97, Seattle Storm 92 (LVA wins 3-1) Sun 107, Sky 80 – Sun rout Sky 104-80, force Game 5 in semifinals series DeWanna Bonner and Courtney Williams each scored 19 points to help the Connecticut Sun rout the Chicago Sky 104-80 and force a decisive Game 5 in their WNBA playoff semifinal series. Alyssa Thomas added 17 for Connecticut, which will travel to the second-seeded Sky for the winner-take-all game on Thursday. Connecticut raced out to a 22-6 lead and never looked back. Kahleah Copper scored 16 points and Emma Meesseman added 14 for the Sky. Aces 97, Storm 92 – Sue Bird’s career ends as Aces top Storm to reach to Finals Sue Bird’s career came to an end as Chelsea Gray scored 15 of her 31 points in the fourth quarter, and the Las Vegas Aces advanced to the WNBA Finals with a 97-92 win over the Seattle Storm in Game 4 of their semifinal series. The Aces won the best-of-five series 3-1, all the games tense, pressure-packed and filled with spectacular shot-making. The Aces ended up making more, most notably Gray, who made five of six shots down the stretch and scored 12 of the final 20 points for the Aces. It will be the third Finals appearance in franchise history for Las Vegas. NCAAFB – Georgia moves up to No. 2, passing Ohio State Georgia moved up to No. 2 in the first Associated Press college football poll of the regular season. The Bulldogs passed Ohio State after the defending national champions dominated their opener. Alabama remained No. 1 in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, receiving 44 of 63 first-place votes. The Bulldogs narrowed the gap on the Crimson Tide after beating Oregon 49-3. Georgia received 17 first-place votes. Ohio State slipped to No. 3 and received two first-place votes. Michigan moved up four spots to No. 4. Clemson dropped one place to No. 5. Florida debuted at No. 12 after its thrilling victory at home against Utah. The Utes slipped six spots to No. 13 after the loss. Oregon’s loss to Georgia sent the Ducks all the way out of the rankings. NCAAFB – LSU addressing a slew of miscues after Kelly’s debut LSU has emerged from Brian Kelly’s coaching debut trying to address a slew of miscues which proved costly in a narrow loss to Florida State. Kelly says receiver Kayshon Boutte is the least of his offense’s concerns despite making just two catches for 20 yards without scoring. He says Boutte has high standards and was unhappy during the game. But Kelly asserts Boutte will have “great games” this season. Kelly cites blocking and special teams among areas needing improvement after LSU struggled to run the ball, muffed two punts and had two kicks blocked. But Kelly says LSU also showed grit and character while nearly erasing a late two-touchdown deficit. The Tigers host Southern on Saturday. NCAAFB – Big Ten – Big Ten punters just keep turning up from down under Half of the Big Ten’s 14 teams this season have a punter produced by Prokick Australia. The development academy down under has been supplying major college football programs with game-ready special teamers at a remarkable rate. Purdue’s Jack Ansell, Minnesota’s Mark Crawford, Rutgers’ Adam Korsak, Ohio State’s Jesse Mirco, Illinois’ Hugh Robertson and Iowa’s Tory Taylor are all from Australia. Indiana’s James Evans is a New Zealander. Prokick has landed full scholarships for 190 players and counting. It was founded in 2007 by Nathan Chapman after a brief experience in the NFL. NFL – Bears release renderings for enclosed suburban stadium The Chicago Bears plan to build an enclosed suburban stadium that could host Super Bowls, College Football Playoff games and Final Fours. The Bears released conceptual illustrations of the proposed stadium and entertainment complex that would be built on the site of a former horse racing track in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The Bears say the project could include restaurants, office space, a hotel, fitness center, new parks and open areas. They also say they would seek no public funding for the stadium if the sale of the property is completed and if they decide to move there. But they would seek taxpayer assistance for the rest of the project. NFL – NFL features record-tying 10 new head coaches There will be a new look on the sideline in Week 1 of the NFL season with a record-tying 10 new head coaches across the league. The overhaul of nearly one-third of the league matches the previous high last reached 2006. The new crop includes five retreads looking to bounce back after getting fired from their last head-coaching job and five first-time coaches. They take over varying situations with Tampa Bay’s Todd Bowles and Las Vegas’ Josh McDaniels taking over 2021 playoff teams in their second chances, while others like Chicago’s Matt Eberflus and Brian Daboll of the Giants in rebuilding situations. Golf – PGA/LIV – Horschel, Rahm unhappy at LIV golfers playing at Wentworth Golfers from the Saudi-backed breakaway series have faced strong criticism for choosing to play the BMW PGA Championship on the European tour this week. The main targets of the criticism were those LIV Golf players who are in the field at Wentworth because of their ranking in the top 60 and are seemingly chasing ranking points not currently available on the breakaway tour. Billy Horschel is the defending champion from the United States and called the players in question “hypocrites.” Jon Rahm accused them of displaying double standards. Tennis – US Open – Khachanov stops Kyrgios in 5 sets; faces Ruud in semifinals Karen Khachanov has advanced to the first Grand Slam semifinal of his career by edging Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-4 at the U.S. Open. Kyrgios could not quite follow up his victory over defending champion Daniil Medvedev. The match began Tuesday night and concluded after midnight on Wednesday at a rowdy Arthur Ashe Stadium. The No. 27-seeded Khachanov will face No. 5 Casper Ruud on Friday for a berth in the championship match. Tennis – US Open – Garcia, 28, tops Gauff, 18, at US Open for 1st Slam semi Caroline Garcia has beaten 18-year-old American Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-4 at the U.S. Open to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal at age 28. The 17th-seeded Garcia had lost both of her two previous matches against the 12th-seeded Gauff but was the better player in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night. The Frenchwoman stretched her winning streak to 13 matches and solidified her status as someone playing as well as anyone in women’s tennis at the moment. Garcia has not dropped a set at Flushing Meadows this year. She finished last year ranked 74th but is projected to rise into the top 10 next week. Garcia will face Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur next. USA Soccer – U.S. Soccer, players formally sign equal pay agreements Representatives for the men’s and women’s U.S. national teams signed their historic collective bargaining agreements with U.S. Soccer, formally closing a long and acrimonious fight over equal pay. The federation announced in May that it had struck separate agreements with the players’ unions on contracts that run through 2028. A signing ceremony was held following the women’s friendly match against Nigeria at Audi Field in Washington D.C., with U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh among those on hand. The new contracts include identical pay structures for appearances and tournament victories, revenue sharing and equitable distribution of World Cup prize money. Olympics – Tokyo Olympics sponsorship scandal widens with more arrests Bribery allegations against a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member are widening as Japanese prosecutors “re-arrested” Haruyuki Takahashi in a case involving suspected payments from a publisher which became a sponsor for the Games. The latest allegations center on 76 million yen — about $540,000 — Takahashi received from publishing company Kadokawa, according to Tokyo District prosecutors. Two Kadokawa officials have been arrested for allegedly paying bribes. Takahashi has been in detention since he was arrested last month for receiving bribes from clothing manufacturer Aoki Holdings. He was also formally charged Tuesday with receiving bribes from Aoki. Three Aoki officials were also charged.

They take over varying situations with Tampa Bay’s Todd Bowles and Las Vegas’ Josh McDaniels taking over 2021 playoff teams in their second chances, while others like Chicago’s Matt Eberflus and Brian Daboll of the Giants in rebuilding situations. Golf – PGA/LIV – Horschel, Rahm unhappy at LIV golfers playing at Wentworth Golfers from the Saudi-backed breakaway series have faced strong criticism for choosing to play the BMW PGA Championship on the European tour this week. The main targets of the criticism were those LIV Golf players who are in the field at Wentworth because of their ranking in the top 60 and are seemingly chasing ranking points not currently available on the breakaway tour. Billy Horschel is the defending champion from the United States and called the players in question “hypocrites.” Jon Rahm accused them of displaying double standards. Tennis – US Open – Khachanov stops Kyrgios in 5 sets; faces Ruud in semifinals Karen Khachanov has advanced to the first Grand Slam semifinal of his career by edging Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-4 at the U.S. Open. Kyrgios could not quite follow up his victory over defending champion Daniil Medvedev. The match began Tuesday night and concluded after midnight on Wednesday at a rowdy Arthur Ashe Stadium. The No. 27-seeded Khachanov will face No. 5 Casper Ruud on Friday for a berth in the championship match. Tennis – US Open – Garcia, 28, tops Gauff, 18, at US Open for 1st Slam semi Caroline Garcia has beaten 18-year-old American Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-4 at the U.S. Open to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal at age 28. The 17th-seeded Garcia had lost both of her two previous matches against the 12th-seeded Gauff but was the better player in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night. The Frenchwoman stretched her winning streak to 13 matches and solidified her status as someone playing as well as anyone in women’s tennis at the moment. Garcia has not dropped a set at Flushing Meadows this year. She finished last year ranked 74th but is projected to rise into the top 10 next week. Garcia will face Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur next. USA Soccer – U.S. Soccer, players formally sign equal pay agreements Representatives for the men’s and women’s U.S. national teams signed their historic collective bargaining agreements with U.S. Soccer, formally closing a long and acrimonious fight over equal pay. The federation announced in May that it had struck separate agreements with the players’ unions on contracts that run through 2028. A signing ceremony was held following the women’s friendly match against Nigeria at Audi Field in Washington D.C., with U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh among those on hand. The new contracts include identical pay structures for appearances and tournament victories, revenue sharing and equitable distribution of World Cup prize money. Olympics – Tokyo Olympics sponsorship scandal widens with more arrests Bribery allegations against a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member are widening as Japanese prosecutors “re-arrested” Haruyuki Takahashi in a case involving suspected payments from a publisher which became a sponsor for the Games. The latest allegations center on 76 million yen — about $540,000 — Takahashi received from publishing company Kadokawa, according to Tokyo District prosecutors. Two Kadokawa officials have been arrested for allegedly paying bribes. Takahashi has been in detention since he was arrested last month for receiving bribes from clothing manufacturer Aoki Holdings. He was also formally charged Tuesday with receiving bribes from Aoki. Three Aoki officials were also charged.

News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM @wsjmsports wsjmsports.com Wednesday, September 07, 2022 MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Los Angeles Angels 5, Detroit Tigers 4 – 10 Innings Seattle Mariners 3, Chicago White Sox 0 Chicago Cubs 9, Cincinnati Reds 3 Angels 5, Tigers 4 – F/10 – LA Angels blow lead, rally in 10th for 5-4 win over Tigers Andrew Velazquez scored from third on Magneuris Sierra’s bunt in the 10th inning and the Los Angeles Angels secured their first winning homestand since early May with a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Taylor Ward scored the tying run moments earlier on a throwing error to the plate by shortstop Javier Baez, who had singled home Kody Clemens with the Tigers’ go-ahead run in the top of the 10th. Mike Trout homered in his third consecutive game for the Angels, who have won eight of 11 in their best stretch of play since mid-May. Baez had three RBIs. Mariners 3, White Sox 0 – Gilbert ties high with 9 strikeouts, M’s beat White Sox 3-0 Logan Gilbert tied his career high with nine strikeouts, Cal Raleigh homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 3-0 to keep the AL wild-card race tight. Raleigh hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning as the Mariners won for the eighth time in nine games. Seattle and Tampa Bay are 1 1/2 games ahead of Toronto, which is 3 1/2 games in front of Baltimore for the final AL wild card. Raleigh has 23 homers, tops among catchers. Chicago has lost two of three and dropped three games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central. Cubs 9, Reds 3 – Wesneski 5 shutout innings in debut, Cubs beat Reds 9-3 Hayden Wesneski allowed two hits over five shutout innings of relief to win his major league debut, and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of 11 walks to beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-3 for their second win in nine games. Wesneski, a 24-year-old right-hander acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 1, struck out eight and walked one in front of about 20 family members and friends from Texas. Wesneski retired 13 of the first 14 batters. Today Detroit (Hutchison 2-7) at L.A.

The union’s deputy executive director sent a letter to MLB claiming a majority of minor leaguers signed authorization cards. The MLBPA launched the minor league unionization drive on Aug. 28. Players with minor league contracts earn as little as $400 weekly during the six-month season. They would become their own bargaining unit within the MLBPA. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – WNBA Semifinals (best of 5) Last Night Connecticut Sun 104, Chicago Sky 80 (Series tied 2-2) Las Vegas Aces 97, Seattle Storm 92 (LVA wins 3-1) Sun 107, Sky 80 – Sun rout Sky 104-80, force Game 5 in semifinals series DeWanna Bonner and Courtney Williams each scored 19 points to help the Connecticut Sun rout the Chicago Sky 104-80 and force a decisive Game 5 in their WNBA playoff semifinal series. Alyssa Thomas added 17 for Connecticut, which will travel to the second-seeded Sky for the winner-take-all game on Thursday. Connecticut raced out to a 22-6 lead and never looked back. Kahleah Copper scored 16 points and Emma Meesseman added 14 for the Sky. Aces 97, Storm 92 – Sue Bird’s career ends as Aces top Storm to reach to Finals Sue Bird’s career came to an end as Chelsea Gray scored 15 of her 31 points in the fourth quarter, and the Las Vegas Aces advanced to the WNBA Finals with a 97-92 win over the Seattle Storm in Game 4 of their semifinal series. The Aces won the best-of-five series 3-1, all the games tense, pressure-packed and filled with spectacular shot-making. The Aces ended up making more, most notably Gray, who made five of six shots down the stretch and scored 12 of the final 20 points for the Aces. It will be the third Finals appearance in franchise history for Las Vegas. NCAAFB – Georgia moves up to No. 2, passing Ohio State Georgia moved up to No. 2 in the first Associated Press college football poll of the regular season. The Bulldogs passed Ohio State after the defending national champions dominated their opener. Alabama remained No. 1 in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, receiving 44 of 63 first-place votes. The Bulldogs narrowed the gap on the Crimson Tide after beating Oregon 49-3. Georgia received 17 first-place votes. Ohio State slipped to No. 3 and received two first-place votes. Michigan moved up four spots to No. 4. Clemson dropped one place to No. 5. Florida debuted at No. 12 after its thrilling victory at home against Utah. The Utes slipped six spots to No. 13 after the loss. Oregon’s loss to Georgia sent the Ducks all the way out of the rankings. NCAAFB – LSU addressing a slew of miscues after Kelly’s debut LSU has emerged from Brian Kelly’s coaching debut trying to address a slew of miscues which proved costly in a narrow loss to Florida State. Kelly says receiver Kayshon Boutte is the least of his offense’s concerns despite making just two catches for 20 yards without scoring. He says Boutte has high standards and was unhappy during the game. But Kelly asserts Boutte will have “great games” this season. Kelly cites blocking and special teams among areas needing improvement after LSU struggled to run the ball, muffed two punts and had two kicks blocked. But Kelly says LSU also showed grit and character while nearly erasing a late two-touchdown deficit. The Tigers host Southern on Saturday. NCAAFB – Big Ten – Big Ten punters just keep turning up from down under Half of the Big Ten’s 14 teams this season have a punter produced by Prokick Australia. The development academy down under has been supplying major college football programs with game-ready special teamers at a remarkable rate. Purdue’s Jack Ansell, Minnesota’s Mark Crawford, Rutgers’ Adam Korsak, Ohio State’s Jesse Mirco, Illinois’ Hugh Robertson and Iowa’s Tory Taylor are all from Australia. Indiana’s James Evans is a New Zealander. Prokick has landed full scholarships for 190 players and counting. It was founded in 2007 by Nathan Chapman after a brief experience in the NFL. NFL – Bears release renderings for enclosed suburban stadium The Chicago Bears plan to build an enclosed suburban stadium that could host Super Bowls, College Football Playoff games and Final Fours. The Bears released conceptual illustrations of the proposed stadium and entertainment complex that would be built on the site of a former horse racing track in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The Bears say the project could include restaurants, office space, a hotel, fitness center, new parks and open areas. They also say they would seek no public funding for the stadium if the sale of the property is completed and if they decide to move there. But they would seek taxpayer assistance for the rest of the project. NFL – NFL features record-tying 10 new head coaches There will be a new look on the sideline in Week 1 of the NFL season with a record-tying 10 new head coaches across the league. The overhaul of nearly one-third of the league matches the previous high last reached 2006. The new crop includes five retreads looking to bounce back after getting fired from their last head-coaching job and five first-time coaches. They take over varying situations with Tampa Bay’s Todd Bowles and Las Vegas’ Josh McDaniels taking over 2021 playoff teams in their second chances, while others like Chicago’s Matt Eberflus and Brian Daboll of the Giants in rebuilding situations.
