Künyesi Ebu Abdullâh'dır. Cüsseli, kalın pazulu, iki omzunun arası açık, kızıl ve kıvırcık saçlıydı. Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) zamanında İslâmiyeti kabul etti. Kabilesini de İslâma davet etti. Hudeybiye umresinden önce Müslüman oldu. Rıdvan Biati'ne katılanlardandı. Peygamber (s.a.v.)'den rivayette bulunmuştur. İbn Sad dedi ki: “Ona (isabetli görüşlerinden dolayı) 'Mugiratu'r-Re'y' derlerdi. Yemame Savaşına, Şam ve Irak fetihlerinde, Yermuk Savaşında ve Kadisiye Harbinde hazır bulundu. Yermük'te gözünden yaralandı. Eş-Şa'bî dedi ki: “Arabın dehâlarından idi”. Kabisa b. Cabir ise: “Mugire ile arkadaşlık ettim. Şayet Medine'nin seksen kapısı olsa ve onlardan ancak hile ile çıkılabilse, muhakkak ki Mugire hepsinden çıkardı.” Taberi dedi ki: “İçine düştüğü her durumdan mutlaka bir çıkış yolu bulurdu. İki seçenek arasında birini seçemeden kalmazdı. Hz. Ebubekir es-Sıddîk (r.a.) onu Nuceyr halkına göndermişti. Sonra Sad (r.a.)'ın elçisi olarak Rüstüm'e gitti.” Ömer (r.a.) onu Basra valisi olarak görevlendirmiştir. Bu dönemde Meysan, Hemedan ve birçok beldeyi fethetmiştir. Begavi dedi ki: “Mugire (r.a.) Basra'da ilk divan kuran kimsedir.” Hz. Osman (r.a.) onu görevinde bıraktı, sonra azletti. Hz. Osman (r.a.) şehit edilince Hakemeyn olayına katılana kadar savaştan uzak durdu. Bundan sonra Kûfe valisi olarak görevlendirildi. Kûfe'de, oranın emiri olduğu dönemde Hicri 50 yılında bir veba salgını yüzünden öldü. Ölümü yaklaştığı bir sırada şöylece duada bulundu: “Ey benim Allâhım, işte sağ elim ki onunla Peygamberin (s.a.v.)'e biat ettim ve yine Peygamberin (s.a.v.)'le senin yolunda mücahede yaptım.” (İbnu Hacer el-Askalânî, el-İsabe (Seçkin Sahabeler), s.375)

*Amr ibn As, Halid ibn Velid ve Ebu Süfyan gibi insanların birden amudî yükselişlerine hayret ediyorum. Mesela; gerçek insanlık ve beklentisizlik ufkuna doğru dikey yükselenlerden biri olan Amr ibn As (radıyallahu anh) kendisine ganimet verilmek istendiğinde: “Ya Rasûlallah, ben ganimet için Müslüman olmadım!” demiştir. Onunla aynı ruh halini paylaşan bir sahabîye de İnsanlığın İftihar Tablosu (aleyhissalâtü vesselâm) ganimetten hissesini vermek istediğinde, o zat, “Ya Rasûlallah! Ben bunu kabul edemem. Ben (boğazını göstererek) şuradan bir ok yiyeyim de şehit olayım diye Müslüman oldum.” demiş ve neticede arzu ettiği gibi şehit olup ötelere yürümüştür. *Hazreti Halid (radıyallahu anh) âhirete yürürken geride hiçbir şey bırakmamıştı. Sa'd ibn Zeyd diyor ki: “Hazreti Halid, herkesin övdüğü bir kumandan olarak yaşadı, İslam'ın bir yitiği olarak gitti.. gitti ve geride sadece atını, kalkanını ve kılıcını bıraktı.” *Hazreti İkrime, Müslüman olduğunda “Yâ Rasûlallah! Sana ve İslâm'a düşmanlık uğruna ne kadar mal sarfettiysem, bundan böyle İslâm için bunun iki mislini harcayacağıma söz veriyorum…” demişti. Yermük'te sözünde durmuştu.. ancak orada verdikleri arasında, canı da vardı. Yermük Muharebesi'ne hanımı ve çocuğuyla beraber katılır. O bu muharebede yaralanır ve alıp bir çadıra getirirler. Hanımı başucunda ağlarken İkrime, “Ağlama!” der, “Ben zaferi görmedikçe ölmeyeceğim.” Bu da ona ait bir keramettir. Biraz sonra çadıra amcası Hâris b. Hişâm girer: “Müjde, der, Allah bize zafer verdi!” İşte o zaman İkrime, “Beni ayağa kaldırın. Çünkü içeriye Allah Rasûlü girdi.” der ve Allah Rasûlü'nün ruhaniyatına hitaben şunları söyler: “Yâ Rasûlallah! Sana verdiğim sözümde durdum mu? Ahdimi yerine getirdim mi?”

Bu video 30/10/2016 tarihinde yayınlanan " VUSLAT İŞTİYÂKI VE TEMİZ KALBLERİN NİYAZI" isimli bamtelinden alınmıştır. Tamamı burada: https://www.herkul.org/bamteli/bamtel... “Benim bayramım Sana kavuştuğum gündür!..” Hazreti Ömer (radıyallahu anh), bir gün coşup O'na (sallallâhu aleyhi ve sellem) karşı sevgisini ifade ettiğinde, “Yâ Rasûlallah, Sen'i, kendimden başka her şeyden fazla seviyorum!” demişti. Gerçekten öyledir. Fakat meseleyi o andaki ufka bağlı, o andaki kalbin tarassuduna bağlı olarak anlamak lazımdır ki bunun manası şudur: “Çok rahatlıkla ben eşimi, çoluk-çocuğumu, evlatlarımı Sana kurban edebilirim!” Hazreti Ömer, Rasûl-i Ekrem Efendimiz'e (sallallâhu aleyhi ve sellem) karşı dile getirdiği böyle bir ifadeye, böyle bir itirafa mukabil beklediği cevabı almıyor. Efendimiz (sallallâhu aleyhi ve sellem) kemâl-i ciddiyetle meselenin hakikatini vurguluyor; “Yâ Ömer! Beni kendinden de artık sevmedikçe hakiki imanı elde etmiş olamazsın!..” diyor. Var mı bu mevzuda “ben!” diyen?!. “Ben, Seni aile efradımdan, dünyamdan, mal u menâlimden çok daha fazla seviyorum! Öyle ki ölümü, bir şeb-i arûs gibi bekliyorum. Ama izin henüz Sen'in tarafından çıkmadığından dolayı, ‘emre itaatteki incelik'e bağlılık içinde Sen'den ferman geleceği âna kadar bu zehir-zemberek firkate, bu dâüssılaya katlanmaya çalışıyorum. Yoksa, derdim Sen'sin. Benim bayramım Sana kavuştuğum gündür!..” Kaç insan gösterebilirsiniz böyle söyleyebilecek olan?!. Kendi dünyanızda.. serkârlarınızda.. zâviyeleri tutanlarınızda… Hazreti Ömer, o zaman kükrüyor; “Yâ Rasûlallah! Şu andan itibaren, içimin sesi, Sen'i nefsimden de artık seviyorum!..” diyor. O nasıl bir tabiat ve nasıl bir fıtrat ise, hemen, birden bire bir amudî yükseliş ortaya koyuyor. Dikey yükseliş demek; kavsî değil, ufkî değil, amudî yükseliş; birden bire. Bu, Hazreti Ebu Bekir gibi kimselerde, Hazreti Ömer gibi kimselerde, Hazreti Ali gibi kimselerde, Hazreti Osman gibi kimselerde, Hazreti Hâlid gibi kimselerde (radıyallahu anhüm ecmaîn) görülüyor. Birkaç senede ihsan ufkuna erenler olduğu gibi yıllarca kâmil imandan nasipsiz gezenler de var. Hazreti Hâlid'in Peygamber Efendimiz'le mevcudiyeti üç sene. O ne kazanımdır?!. Cennetleri peyleyebilecek bir ufku ihraz ediyor. Evet, vefat ederken arkada bıraktığı şey, sadece sırtına binip savaştığı atı, kullandığı kırılmadık kılıcı. (Elinde yalnızca Yermük'te on beş tane kılıcın kırıldığından bahsederler.) Ve bir de oku ile yayı. Onun için, Hazreti Halid ruhunun ufkuna yürürken başında bulunan Sa'd b. Zeyd hazretleri diyor ki: عَاشَ حَمِيدًا، مَاتَ فَقِيدًا “Hazreti Halid, herkesin övdüğü bir kumandan olarak yaşadı, İslam'ın bir yitiği olarak gitti.”

Now there is a clock in baseball. The pitch clock is coming to MLB in 2023, and a shift ban is coming with it. MLB has been experimenting with these rules in the minors, and they were officially voted in on Friday. The pitch clock will eliminate tons of dead time between pitches where nothing happens and is likely to be a smashing success when all is said and done, despite not necessarily pleasing everyone initially. The ban on shifts will also have big consequences. There must be at least two fielders on either side of second base, and all must have both feet on the dirt. This will be a huge boon to left-handed hitters in particular, who have been victims of aggressive shifts that have taken away hits in shallow right field for many years now. The San Francisco Giants got swept in their doubleheader yesterday, but the big takeaway from the game was Sean Hjelle's strong five innings of work. The Giants right-handed pitcher was pumping mid-90s sinkers in the zone, racking up strikeouts and ground balls. The rest of the season should be about watching guys like Hjelle, and seeing whether they can be key pieces on next year's team. Outfielder Austin Dean was added to the 40-man and MLB rosters prior to Friday's game, and reliever Cole Waites is on the taxi squad. Dom Leone was placed on the IL with an elbow impingement. Yermín Mercedes was DFA'd and outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants have another roster crunch upcoming, with several players set to return from the injured list in the coming days. How they're going to fit those players onto the roster remains to be seen. Prior to last night's game, speedy outfielder Bryce Johnson was added to the Giants' roster. Johnson gives the SF Giants a rare element on this team: disruptive speed and high-end defense. But will he stick on the roster? Brandon Crawford and Joc Pederson are set to return on Saturday. Thairo Estrada will re-join the Giants on Sunday. Evan Longoria is likely to be added to the SF Giants' roster early next week. So who's going to come off the roster? David Villar can be optioned, but should he be? Is it really worth playing Longoria over Villar if the 2022 season is lost (which it isn't quite yet) and they don't expect him to be a part of next year's team (also unclear)? Yermín Mercedes can be optioned. The Giants will likely DFA Dixon Machado this weekend. But even if they make all of those moves, they'll still need to make more. Will the Giants option promising youngsters like Luis González or Johnson? Or will they finally cut ties with a struggling veteran like Tommy La Stella. whose tenure in San Francisco has been a disaster? As our attention turns towards the future, Joey Bart is highlighted. Bart's numbers since getting called back up by the Giants in early July are eye-opening. He's been striking out less, chasing less, and making more contact on swings in the strike zone. He's also showing more confidence and leadership, and has done a very good job defensively, whether it's framing pitches, blocking, or throwing out baserunners.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Toronto Blue Jays 5, Detroit Tigers 3 San Francisco Giants 4, Chicago Cubs 2 White Sox were off Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3 – Chapman 2 HRs, Kikuchi wins in return as Jays top Tigers 5-3 Matt Chapman hit two home runs, Yusei Kikuchi came off the injured list to pitch five solid innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 for their 10th victory in 12 games. Chapman hit a two-run homer off left-hander Tyler Alexander in the fourth and a solo shot off Angel De Jesus in the sixth, the ninth multi-homer game of his career and first this season. The home runs were his 17th and 18th of the year. Jonathan Schoop and Willi Castro hit solo home runs for the Tigers. Giants 4, Cubs 2 – Wood takes no-hitter into 7th, Giants beat Cubs to stop skid Alex Wood took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 to stop a seven-game slide. Yermín Mercedes hit an early two-run single, and four Giants pitchers combined on a three-hitter to snap Chicago’s six-game winning streak. An umpire’s ruling that appeared to give the Cubs a break instead contributed to San Francisco’s three-run third. Wood allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two and walking two. His no-hit bid ended in the seventh on Ian Happ’s leadoff single. Two outs later, Patrick Wisdom belted his 18th homer of the season. Tonight Detroit (Garcia 0-0) at Toronto (Manoah 11-4), 7:07 p.m.          WSJM/WCSY 6:45 Oakland (Kaprielian 1-5) at Chicago White Sox (Lynn 1-3), 8:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Stroman 2-5) at San Francisco (Cobb 3-4), 10:15 p.m. MLB – Unvaccinated Chafin misses Tigers’ series at Blue Jays The Detroit Tigers put unvaccinated left-hander Andrew Chafin on the restricted list before the opener of a four-game series in Toronto and selected right-hander Bryan Garcia from Triple-A Toledo as a substitute player. Detroit also added right-hander Derek Law and shortstop Zack Short to its taxi squad. Chafin signed a $13 million, two-year contract in March. He will lose $142,857 from his $6.5 million salary this season. MLB – Blue Jays announce $230 million stadium renovation plan The Blue Jays announced plans Thursday for a $230 million renovation of Rogers Centre, their downtown home since 1989 when it was knows as SkyDome, but said the change will not involve replacing the artificial turf surface with grass. The renovation, to be undertaken in stages over the next two or three winters, will begin with the team adding raised bullpens in left and right field, adjusting the dimensions and heights of the current outfield wall, and adapting the outfield seating areas to add bars and patios. Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro did not disclose the outfield dimensions and fence heights, saying they have not been finalized. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Kremlin poker-faced on US swap offer to free Griner, Whelan The Kremlin has warned that a possible prisoner swap with the United States involving American basketball star Brittney Griner needs to be negotiated quietly without fanfare. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps are typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes. He emphasized that “no agreements have been finalized” and refused to provide further details. Griner has been detained in Russia since inspectors at a Moscow airport found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. NFL – Cardinals remove Kyler Murray’s independent-study addendum The Arizona Cardinals have removed an addendum to quarterback Kyler Murray’s $230.5 million, five-year contract that mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks. In a statement Thursday, the team said: “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead this team more than the commitment reflected in his contract.” Earlier in the day, Murray declared that there have been no “shortcuts” to success during his football career, no matter what provisions the Cardinals included in his new contract. NFL – QB Ryan challenges Colts to keep up with quick-paced tempo Matt Ryan has seen and done just about everything other than winning a Super Bowl in his 14-year NFL career. He’s been the league MVP. He’s won a conference title. He’s steadily climbed the league’s career passing charts. But now, for the first time since his rookie season, Ryan is settling into a whole new world. The Indianapolis Colts new quarterback is getting acclimated to a new playbook, new teammates, a new training camp facility and a new routine. NFL – Rodgers says Packers offense can grow from early adversity Aaron Rodgers says he expects the Green Bay Packers offense to face plenty of adversity during the preseason as it lines up against a defense that seems far more settled. The four-time MVP quarterback believes that could prove beneficial in the long run. Rodgers says that taking some lumps early is “going to build some character.” The two-time reigning MVP is in a much different situation than last year. He’s smoothed over his relationship with team management and is dealing with a new group of receivers now that All-Pro wideout Davante Adams is with the Las Vegas Raiders. Golf – PGA – Finau, Pendrith share Rocket Mortgage lead at 8-under 64 Tony Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA Tour, and Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, Michael Thompson, Cameron Champ, Lee Hodges and Matt Wallace were two shots back. Si Woo Kim and Kurt Kitayama, both ranked among the top 70 in the world, were in the pack at 67 at Detroit Golf Club. The leaderboard was filled with players who took advantage of favorable scoring conditions with morning tee times. In the afternoon, the wind picked up and the scores did as well. Finau rallied from a five-shot deficit with 11 holes left to win the 3M Open by three shots Sunday in Minnesota. Golf – Trump says Saudi-funded tour creates ‘gold rush’ for players Former President Donald Trump says the Saudi-funded LIV Golf circuit has created a “gold rush” for players. Trump played a round Thursday on his home course at Trump National Bedminster. This one was the LIV Golf Invitational pro-am. He played with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. Trump says what the Saudi-backed league is doing is good for golf because it gives players an alternative. It’s been a disruptor for more than the PGA Tour. Now the Ryder Cup is involved. Henrik Stenson signed with LIV and was stripped of his captaincy for Europe. Reports indicated Luke Donald will be replacing him. Nassar – FBI open to settling claims by gymnasts abused by Nassar The FBI has reached out to attorneys representing Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar to begin settlement talks in the $1 billion claim they brought against the federal government. That’s according to three people familiar with the matter. The FBI’s general counsel contacted the lawyers for Olympic gold medalists Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney and dozens of other women on Wednesday. The people say the FBI’s attorneys told the lawyers for the women that they had received the federal tort claims and to say the agency was “interested” in a resolution, including discussions about a potential settlement.

Yermín Mercedes hit an early two-run single, and four Giants pitchers combined on a three-hitter to snap Chicago’s six-game winning streak. An umpire’s ruling that appeared to give the Cubs a break instead contributed to San Francisco’s three-run third. Wood allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two and walking two. His no-hit bid ended in the seventh on Ian Happ’s leadoff single. Two outs later, Patrick Wisdom belted his 18th homer of the season.

Detroit also added right-hander Derek Law and shortstop Zack Short to its taxi squad. Chafin signed a $13 million, two-year contract in March. He will lose $142,857 from his $6.5 million salary this season. MLB – Blue Jays announce $230 million stadium renovation plan The Blue Jays announced plans Thursday for a $230 million renovation of Rogers Centre, their downtown home since 1989 when it was knows as SkyDome, but said the change will not involve replacing the artificial turf surface with grass. The renovation, to be undertaken in stages over the next two or three winters, will begin with the team adding raised bullpens in left and right field, adjusting the dimensions and heights of the current outfield wall, and adapting the outfield seating areas to add bars and patios. Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro did not disclose the outfield dimensions and fence heights, saying they have not been finalized. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Kremlin poker-faced on US swap offer to free Griner, Whelan The Kremlin has warned that a possible prisoner swap with the United States involving American basketball star Brittney Griner needs to be negotiated quietly without fanfare. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps are typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes. He emphasized that “no agreements have been finalized” and refused to provide further details. Griner has been detained in Russia since inspectors at a Moscow airport found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. NFL – Cardinals remove Kyler Murray’s independent-study addendum The Arizona Cardinals have removed an addendum to quarterback Kyler Murray’s $230.5 million, five-year contract that mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks. In a statement Thursday, the team said: “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead this team more than the commitment reflected in his contract.” Earlier in the day, Murray declared that there have been no “shortcuts” to success during his football career, no matter what provisions the Cardinals included in his new contract. NFL – QB Ryan challenges Colts to keep up with quick-paced tempo Matt Ryan has seen and done just about everything other than winning a Super Bowl in his 14-year NFL career. He’s been the league MVP. He’s won a conference title. He’s steadily climbed the league’s career passing charts. But now, for the first time since his rookie season, Ryan is settling into a whole new world. The Indianapolis Colts new quarterback is getting acclimated to a new playbook, new teammates, a new training camp facility and a new routine. NFL – Rodgers says Packers offense can grow from early adversity Aaron Rodgers says he expects the Green Bay Packers offense to face plenty of adversity during the preseason as it lines up against a defense that seems far more settled. The four-time MVP quarterback believes that could prove beneficial in the long run. Rodgers says that taking some lumps early is “going to build some character.” The two-time reigning MVP is in a much different situation than last year. He’s smoothed over his relationship with team management and is dealing with a new group of receivers now that All-Pro wideout Davante Adams is with the Las Vegas Raiders. Golf – PGA – Finau, Pendrith share Rocket Mortgage lead at 8-under 64 Tony Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA Tour, and Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, Michael Thompson, Cameron Champ, Lee Hodges and Matt Wallace were two shots back. Si Woo Kim and Kurt Kitayama, both ranked among the top 70 in the world, were in the pack at 67 at Detroit Golf Club. The leaderboard was filled with players who took advantage of favorable scoring conditions with morning tee times. In the afternoon, the wind picked up and the scores did as well. Finau rallied from a five-shot deficit with 11 holes left to win the 3M Open by three shots Sunday in Minnesota. Golf – Trump says Saudi-funded tour creates ‘gold rush’ for players Former President Donald Trump says the Saudi-funded LIV Golf circuit has created a “gold rush” for players. Trump played a round Thursday on his home course at Trump National Bedminster. This one was the LIV Golf Invitational pro-am. He played with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. Trump says what the Saudi-backed league is doing is good for golf because it gives players an alternative. It’s been a disruptor for more than the PGA Tour. Now the Ryder Cup is involved. Henrik Stenson signed with LIV and was stripped of his captaincy for Europe. Reports indicated Luke Donald will be replacing him. Nassar – FBI open to settling claims by gymnasts abused by Nassar The FBI has reached out to attorneys representing Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar to begin settlement talks in the $1 billion claim they brought against the federal government. That’s according to three people familiar with the matter. The FBI’s general counsel contacted the lawyers for Olympic gold medalists Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney and dozens of other women on Wednesday. The people say the FBI’s attorneys told the lawyers for the women that they had received the federal tort claims and to say the agency was “interested” in a resolution, including discussions about a potential settlement.

"Not good enough. Really frustrating. A level of play that is just not going to be acceptable for us." Those were San Francisco Giants Manager Gabe Kapler's words after the SF Giants got completely overwhelmed by the Dodgers en route to their first four-game sweep vs. their rivals since 1995. The Giants looked like the far inferior team all weekend—and really they've looked inferior to many opponents all season. Where should the Giants go from here? The NL West race is essentially over before it really started. The Dodgers have a 16.5 game lead over the Giants. But at 48-47, the SF Giants are still just two games back in the NL Wild Card race. Their next seven games are against two of the worst teams in the NL. By the time the Aug. 2 trade deadline comes around, they're likely to be still in the race. FanGraphs has the Giants' playoff odds currently at 38%. Could they add someone like Ramón Laureano, who'd help them in 2022 but also in 2023-25? What about Joey Wendle, who'd be more of a rental but wouldn't cost too much and is a plus defender at second, third, and shortstop? The Giants' defense continues to be an embarrassment. Yermín Mercedes is miscast in left field, and it showed on Sunday. All season long the Giants have stuck bad defenders all over the diamond and it has cost them seemingly every night. How do they expect it to improve with the likes of Mercedes roaming the outfield against arguably the best team in baseball? There's a case to be made that the Giants should sell at the deadline, but ultimately the Giants' position in the standings warrants an attempt at salvaging this season. But it's increasingly clear that they must upgrade their defense or they likely won't be playing in October. The Giants need major changes and their last chance to do anything significant is just over a week away. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Really tough loss for the San Francisco Giants last night. The game was within their grasp, but Darin Ruf flew out to the warning track in a bases-loaded situation late, and Camilo Doval surrendered a two-out, two-strike swinging bunt hit that drove in what proved to be the winning run. The SF Giants just haven't been able to consistently win this type of game, and they fall back to 45-43. If the Giants had won, they would've moved back into a tie for the NL's final wild card spot.So it goes for the Giants this season. One major theme this year has been that the veterans haven't really done as much as they would like. That includes Tommy La Stella and Evan Longoria, who are currently on the injured list. Are the Giants a better team without them? It's a complicated question and a complicated answer, because adding them back to the roster would mean sending down a couple of players like potentially Yermín Mercedes and David Villar. Luis González is also a candidate to be optioned if the Giants decide to re-add Longoria and/or La Stella. Trading one or both seems like a real possibility at this point, although La Stella probably has almost no trade value.Are the Giants interested in Brandon Drury? Andy Martino of SNY reported on Wednesday that the Giants and Dodgers were showing the most interest in the veteran infielder, who's enjoying a semi-breakout campaign with the Reds. Drury makes sense for the Giants as a versatile player who's having a strong offensive season. That being said, he's not really a star player, more of a complimentary player capable of exceeding expectations, as he has done so far this year. But it was hard enough to figure out how the Giants would add Longoria and La Stella back to the roster; how would they add those two in addition to another veteran like Drury? Is that what's best for this team that probably needs to look for future pieces and think about getting younger?Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

For the second time in two days, the San Francisco Giants' right-handed-heavy lineup, the one that faces left-handed starters, led the Giants to a double-digit win. On Sunday, they beat MacKenzie Gore and the Padres 12-0. Yesterday, they lit up Dallas Keuchel and the D-backs by the final score of 13-0. Austin Slater, Yermín Mercedes, Joey Bart, and Thairo Estrada led the way as the SF Giants crushed four home runs in the victory. Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi met with the media prior to Tuesday's win. He discussed the team's disappointing first half of the season, and he talked about the upcoming trade deadline. Zaidi said that he thinks the starting pitching is in a good spot, and it's hard to argue against that with Carlos Rodón and Logan Webb leading the group. Alex Wood and Alex Cobb have peripherals that suggest better results are coming, and Jakob Junis will re-enter the rotation after the All-Star break. Brandon Crawford's supremely disappointing double play the night prior is discussed. Should he have been swinging in a 2-0 count with the bases loaded and the tying run on third (hint: yes). Also discussed is the SF Giants designating Jake McGee for assignment over the weekend. McGee was a crucial part of last year's bullpen, which led the majors in ERA, but the results just weren't there this year. McGee was owed close to $2 million, so this move suggests the Giants are willing to eat a salary if the performance is poor enough. Luis González's return from the IL is also discussed.

Tommy Barbee and Keelin Billue are back after a five-month hiatus, as the embers of the 2021 Chicago White Sox season and South Side Soxivus cool down. Typically, there are talks of a stove that is supposed to be hot, but this year, the pilot light does not seem to work yet. So, in this episode of the Killer B's, Tommy and Keelin spend time discussing the past, present, and hopes for the future. Join the Killer B's to navigate: One of the Worst White Sox Games of 2021: As a Soxivus tie-in, we begrudgingly relive the Yermín-Tony game. The 3-0 bomb game. You know. THAT ONE. Hot Stove Moves: An impending lockout has us eating cold eggs. Yet, there have been a few big transactions made, including Carlos Rodón not receiving a QO. Tommy and Keelin work to decipher Hahn-speak especially in regard to the increasingly lean pitching rotation. A Wish List: Surprise! The problems of last season continued to plague the White Sox until the end: second base and starting pitchers. The Killer B's indulge in a little fantasy. Lockout Plans?: In an effort to not go five months without recording, plan on joining the Killer B's for a radionovela, or continued White Sox coverage. There will be no between.

First up are the Charlotte Knights, and Darren's season review piece is live alongside this podcast. While the Knights were stunningly bad, with the very worst record in all of Triple-A, several successful prospects were shipped up from North Carolina to make an impact on the 2021 White Sox. Here's how we broke down this 47-81 club: It would have been a neck-and-neck battle for team MVP, but Gavin Sheets' success in Chicago left the crown to Jake Burger Lost in the incredible start and strange in-season Tony La Russa and retirement dramas are the fact that Yermín Mercedes had his worst season in a long time — at the wrong time Shout-out to Mike Wright Jr. and John Parke!

Bu videoda Fethullah Gülen Hocaefendi'nin 16 Haziran 1991 tarihinde İstanbul Süleymaniye Camii'nde verdiği “Ebediyet arayışı” konulu vaazı seyredeceksiniz... • İnsanların “arayış mülahazası”yla dünyaya geldikleri.. İdeal insanların hep bir arayış peşinde oldukları • Nice insanlar vardır ki, ebede namzet olduklarının şuurundadırlar ve şu fani dünya onları tatmin etmez.. Yüksek ufka sahip bu insanlar, Cemalullah peşindedir ve milletini, devletler arası muvazenede şanlı, şerefli mevkiine oturtma mefkûresi içindedirler. • “Büyük dava” ve “pahalı metâ” uğruna Peygamberlerin (aleyhimüsselâm) katlandıkları çileler.. Tufan Peygamberi Hz. Nuh'un (a.s.) büyük dava uğrunda kavminden gördüğü eziyetlere katlanması • Hz. İbrahim'in (a.s.) büyük dava uğrunda ateşe atılmayı büyük bir metanetle göğüslemesi • Hz. Ebû Bekir'in (r.a.), Hz. İbrahim'in (a.s.) ateşe atılmasına atıfta bulunduğu şiiri: “Allahım! Sermayesi çok az olan Ebû Kuhâfe'nin oğluna ihsanda bulun! ” • “Pahalı metâ” için Hz. Musa'nın (a.s.) katlandığı zorluklar • “Büyük dava” uğrunda Hz. Zekeriya (a.s.) ve oğlu Hz. Yahya'nın (a.s.) katlandığı çile ve ızdıraplar.. Hz. Yahya'nın (a.s.), Allah korkusundan dağlara çıkması • Allah Teâlâ'nın (c.c.), müşriklerin Resûlullah'ı (s.a.s.) yakalayıp öldürme planlarını tersyüz ettiği.. Konuyla ilgili “Bir vakit de o kâfirler senin elini kolunu bağlayıp zindana mı atsınlar, yahut öldürsünler mi, yahut seni ülke dışına mı sürsünler diye birtakım tuzaklar planlıyorlardı. Onlar tuzak kuradursunlar, Allah da tuzak kuruyordu. Allah tuzak kuranların en hayırlısıdır.” (Enfâl sûresi, 8/30) âyeti • Hz.

Four of your very favorite South Side Sox staff — Brett Ballantini, Darren Black, Tommy Barbee and Tyrone Palmer — gathered in anticipation of the sprint to Friday's 3 p.m. CT trading deadline. The White Sox haven't done anything yet, so there was plenty of time to cover most everything: Yes, this is a second straight podcast where Brett can't keep the program number straight, as this is mothership podcast 53, not 52 Eduardo Escobar, the presumably attainable White Sox trade target, is off to Milwaukee. Huh? The White Sox front office traditionally (and reasonably) detested teams agreeing to deals, then continuing to shop players in the agreement — most famously, Mike Rizzo backing out of the Edwin Jackson-Adam Dunn deal in 2010. But these White Sox trade leaks (from Sox lips to Bob Nightengale's twitter account) as a means of pressuring teams is just as annoying. The Sox have now lost Joc Pederson, Manny Machado and Escobar due to such tactics, to some degree Roundtable: The most important area of weakness to address among second base, catcher and bullpen Again, a reminder to temper expectations when it comes to the talent the White Sox can draw in; the prospects tank is empty Thought exercise: Who among Yermín Mercedes, Gavin Sheets, Zack Collins and Jake Burger would you trade for Escobar? The answers, based on the comment thread on Luke Smailes pre-deadline spec piece, will surprise/disappoint you Tommy admits that when a deal gets made across baseball without Micker Adolfo's name attached, he breathes a tiny sigh of relief Most important single player to acquire: two votes for Jonathan Schoop, two for Ian Kennedy An update on Lucas Giolito's no-hitter The Cubbie stink question again rears its ugly head, wherein Tommy teaches Brett to love again Learn more about your ad choices.

This week SSS duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, celebrate the return of super-defender Eloy Jiménez, who had celebrated his own return the night before with a booming game-winner that's probably still in orbit. (They also ... ahem ... note the error of their Yermín Mercedes assessment the week before, which shall not be mentioned after this moment by anyone. Including you.) With the cast recorded 50 hours ahead of the trading deadline, it is full of speculation, none of which will turn out to be true, but being wrong is in the spirit of the show. On the negative side, what's with all the heavy use of White Sox starting pitchers, who have thrown many more games of more than 100 pitches than any other team, more than twice the MLB average? Is this really a good idea? Is the HOFBP that much smarter than the 29 other managers (well, he's definitely smarter than Mike Matheny, but that's just one, and he might not really count)? Should the Sox be wearing out their pitchers in a now-meaningless regular season, given the hideousness of the AAAL Central, or should they be getting a little less wear and tear going into October? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, and how about Danny Mendick for catcher? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mitch is back as we dive into the trade deadline discussions. What moves would you make as Phillies GM? Yermín Mercedes, who started the season a record 8-8, has been sent down to the minors... did Tony La Russa have anything to do with his struggling performance? Harper has the 8th highest salary amongst hitters, but where does he rank in the MLB? Hear all of the above and more on today's episode!

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 7, Texas Rangers 5 St. Louis Cardinals 3, Chicago Cubs 2 White Sox were off Tigers 7, Rangers 5 – Haase, Tigers win 7th straight, finish sweep of Rangers Eric Haase hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak to a season-best seven games by topping the slumping Texas Rangers 7-5. Zack Short and Victor Reyes also homered for the Tigers, who completed a four-game sweep. Texas has lost nine straight, equaling its longest slide this season. David Dahl and Isiah Kiner-Falefa each drove in two runs for the Rangers. Kyle Funkhouser, the fourth Tigers pitcher, gave up one run in two innings to get the win. Gregory Soto got the last three outs for his 11th save and third in as many days. Cardinals 3, Cubs 2 – Kim earns 5th straight win on birthday, Cards beat Cubs 3-2 Kwang Hyun-Kim earned his fifth straight win on his 34th birthday and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Nolan Arenado and Dylan Carlson homered as the Cardinals moved a game over .500 at 49-48. Kim allowed two runs on two hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in six innings. Alex Reyes pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 23rd save after suffering his first career blown save on Tuesday night. Cubs starter Adbert Alzolay allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight in six innings. He is winless in his last seven starts. Today Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals, 8:10 p.m.       94.9 WSJM/103.7 Cosy-FM 7:50 Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee Brewers, 8:10 p.m. MLB – No quit: Yermín Mercedes rejoins White Sox Triple-A team One day after announcing he was stepping away from baseball, Yermín Mercedes was back with the Chicago White Sox's Triple-A affiliate. The White Sox confirmed Mercedes was in uniform Thursday for the Charlotte Knights' game against the Durham Bulls. Mercedes also apologized in an Instagram post, writing, “I love everybody. I'm back.” On Wednesday night, Mercedes posted on Instagram that he was walking away from baseball, saying, “It's over.” The 28-year-old rookie carried the White Sox with his booming bat early in the season but got sent to the minors following a prolonged slump. NFL – NFL threatens forfeits for COVID outbreaks The NFL has informed teams they could potentially forfeit a game because of a COVID-19 outbreak among nonvaccinated players, and players on both teams wouldn't get paid that week. The memo was sent to the teams by Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday and obtained by The Associated Press. The memo adds that the league doesn't anticipate adding a 19th week to accommodate games that can't be rescheduled within the 18-week regular season. However, forfeits are among the consequences. The league says more than half its teams have COVID-19 vaccination rates greater than 80% of their players, and more than 75% of players are in the process of being vaccinated. NFL – Jets' Knapp dies after being struck by car while biking New York Jets assistant coach Greg Knapp died of injuries suffered in an accident when he was struck by a car while riding a bicycle near his home in California. Knapp's family released a statement through the team that the longtime NFL assistant coach died Thursday afternoon. The family said in the statement that Knapp never regained consciousness after being struck in the city of San Ramon in the San Francisco Bay Area and never regained consciousness. Knapp was hired by the Jets in January as part of new coach Robert Saleh's staff, serving as the passing game specialist. Among Knapp's primary roles was to help develop quarterback Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall draft pick.

So, the legend of Dugout Metrics lives on, the podcast you couldn't live without is here again. Ex-players and metrics aces Trevor Lines and Luke Smailes hop on with Brett Ballantini to focus on the freshest news of the day, and trade deadline targets to fortify the White Sox for the stretch run. Yes, the goofy topics are being pushed by Brett: Trevor and Luke take a look at the Yermín Mercedes retirement/unretirement story from a unique angle: Imagining what his Charlotte Knights teammates are feeling about it Nelson Cruz has been dealt, potentially haunting the White Sox not in the regular season but the playoffs. Was the price too high? How will Eloy Jiménez and Luis Robert return to the White Sox, given the long layoff: full strength, replacement level, or somewhere in-between? What is the status of Robert's Domino's pizza baby? Luke is prioritizing relief pitching help as his top target in the stretch run of trade season, and his top target is a Cubs reliever — but probably not the one you think. Also, Luke doesn't think the Cubs are afraid to make a deal with the White Sox, and the White Sox will not be afraid of Cubbie stink invading this 2021 roster Trevor is option for second base help, preferably a left-handed hitter, and he's shooting for the moon ... looking toward Pittsburgh and everyone's favorite target Do we need to temper expectations for the deadline given a distinct lack of prospect capital to deal for the Adam Fraziers or Joey Gallos? And yes, no-look tags count for more outs than a “regular-look” tag. Thanks, @MLB Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Bros discuss, Albert Pujols signing with the Dodgers, Kevin Pillar getting hit in the face, and Yermín Mercedes swinging 3-0.

In this episode of SpreadTalk, we absolutely love Yermín Mercedes, talk about how bad baseball is at marketing its superstars, and reflect on why nobody can hit a baseball this year. Tony La Russa must think he is still managing a 1980s White Sox team.

Topics Discussed: - ESPN / Kurkijan: How the 'K' became the most destructive letter in Major League Baseball Agree / Disagree? - The Athletics are considering (with MLB support) leaving Oakland. Your thoughts on Expansion, Realignment, Restructuring? - CBS Sports: Six problems with how Tony La Russa handled the Yermín Mercedes situation - Thoughts on Ohtani and Trout (Trout out for 6-8 weeks)? - Thoughts on the White Sox, and Cardinals? - Kiley McDaniel's May 11th Mock had the Orioles selecting Henry Davis, C, Louisville. Who is Stephen currently projecting?

Brett Ballantini and Tommy Barbee hop on to review the mildly successful past week of White Sox baseball, a look ahead to a Yankees series that will pit "no walks" Gerrit Cole against "no swing" Yasmani Grandal, and an extended look at the "unwritten rules" controversy centered around Tony La Russa and Yermín Mercedes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Van seis juegos sin hits ni carreras en la temporada de las Grandes Ligas y aún no cumplimos dos meses de temporadas. Hablamos sobre los pitchers dominantes y algunas sorpresas hasta los momentos. También conversamos sobre la lesión de Mike Trout y las opciones para el OF, así como de Corey Seager y quiénes pueden hacer el trabajo en el SS. Por último, pero no menos importante, tocamos el tema de Yermín Mercedes, Tony La Russa y las reglas no escritas del béisbol.

It did not take long for Corpse Watch to be called into duty. While bludgeoning the AL Central, the Sox brewed up some inner conflict between the Yerminator and TLR. It's old school, unwritten rules and we don't like it one bit. Let the Yerm eat.

Karl Ravech joins Buster to discuss Tony La Russa throwing Yermín Mercedes under the bus for swinging on a 3-0 count, Mike Trout's injury and Detroit's Spencer Turnbull throwing a no-hitter. Then, Hembo stops by to talk about carrying the torch for the Old School, the tidal wave of no-hitters, and the dust-up between Joe Girardi and Jean Segura. Learn more about your ad choices.
