all in a row. Hes the American Leagues starting

OAKLAND – The Blue Jays will send three representatives to the All-Star Game on July 15 in Minneapolis. Kyle Korver Jersey . American League manager John Farrell of the Boston Red Sox announced that Jose Bautista would be his starter in right field as voted by the fans. For Bautista, its a fifth All-Star selection, all in a row. Hes the American Leagues starting right fielder for the fourth consecutive season. Bautistas hitting .300/.423/.529 in 83 games. His 60 walks and on-base percentage of .423 are the best in baseball. Bautista, for the second time, was the leading vote getter. “Its great to have the support and I feel thankful and appreciative of all the votes,” said Bautista. “Its nice to know that people are paying attention and theyre watching you succeed. To just know that people are paying attention and watching is always a pleasure to me. It takes a lot to sit in front of your computer and vote or go to the stadium and fill out ballots and take up some of your time. Im always thankful for that.” Edwin Encarnacion receives his second All-Star honour and second consecutive. He was picked by Farrell, a managers selection. Encarnacion, as of Sunday, is baseballs leader with 70 RBI. His 26 home runs are second only to the White Soxs Jose Abreu (27). He will not appear in the All-Star Game due to a right quadriceps strain. Left-hander Mark Buehrle is a players selection and makes his fifth career All-Star appearance and his first since 2009. He was the starting pitcher for the American League in 2005, the same year his White Sox went on to win the World Series. Buehrle is 10-6 with a 2.60 ERA this season. He was selected by his peers in the players vote. “Obviously that means a lot because guys around the league are kind of paying attention and recognize what youre doing out there on the field; that means a lot,” said Buehrle. “Even if the manager selects you its obviously great but if the players select you its a little bit more.” Last season a Blue Jays team that would end up with 74 wins sent four players to the All-Star Game (Bautista, Encarnacion, Brett Cecil and Steve Delabar). Bucks Jerseys 2020 . The above paragraph could be rewritten, verbatim, with Marcus Stromans name in place of Romeros. After both men had disastrous outings in Tuesdays 18-4 mauling at the hands of the Tigers, its clear that neither is the best option to begin the season in Toronto. Nate Archibald Jersey . Jones, from Winnipeg, built a 3-0 advantage after three ends by scoring two in the second and one in the third. Chinas skip Bingyu Wang cut that lead to 3-1 in the fourth before Canada added another three in the fifth for a 6-1 lead.WICHITA, Kan. — Wichita State will carry its pursuit of perfection into the Missouri Valley tournament. Cleanthony Early scored 19 points, Ron Baker added 13 and the second-ranked Shockers rolled to a 68-45 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, easily putting away a team that had given them fits this season. Relying on the same stubborn defence that carried it on last years improbable March run, Wichita State (31-0, 18-0) became the first team since Saint Josephs in 2004 to enter its league tournament unbeaten. The Shockers will have a first-round bye in St. Louis next week. Missouri State (19-11, 9-9) had them in trouble when they met Jan. 11 in Springfield, Mo., but the Bears blew a 19-point second-half lead and ultimately lost 72-69 in overtime. They never came close to making it a game Saturday, trailing by double-digits in the opening minutes. The Shockers are off to the best start since UNLV began 34-0 and lost in the 1991 national title game. Theyre also off to the best start by a Missouri Valley team since Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, won its first 33 games and fell to Michigan State in the 1979 title game. The Shockers last loss came in the Final Four, too — to eventual champ Louisville last year. Putting this one away early gave a sellout crowd that had braved the threat of freezing rain ample opportunity to celebrate. Waving signs that applauded their unblemished record, fans packed inside Koch Arena serenaded a senior class led by Early that managed tto elevate the program from a solid mid-major into a national power in the midst of a memorable season. Bucks Jerseys 2019. Along with fellow seniors Chadrack Lufile, Kadeem Coleby and Nick Wiggins, Early gave coach Gregg Marshall a bear hug when he checked out for the final time in the closing minutes. Jarmar Gulley scored 15 points to lead Missouri State, which was dominated on the boards, in transition and just about everywhere else in losing its 10th straight against ranked teams. Unlike the first meeting, when it was Wichita State that stumbled early, Missouri State missed 18 of its first 22 shots, suffocated under token pressure and never got into a rhythm. When the Bears werent blowing layups, they were turning the ball over, leading to some easy baskets at the other end. Wichita State shot 57 per cent from the field in the first half, a big reason why it had built a 20-point lead just before the break. The trio of Early, Baker and Fred VanVleet picked up where it left off out of the locker room, Early scoring quickly and Baker hitting a long 3-pointer to keep Missouri State at bay. In fact, the only interesting moment of the second half came when Lufile was fouled with about 10 minutes to go. After missing his first seven free throw attempts, the big senior forward — with the crowd rising to its feet — finally got one to rattle home. Of course, it hardly mattered that Lufiles foul shooting wasnt perfect. Everything else about Wichita State is these days. ‚ ‚ ‚
