When Fabio Grosso, Olympique Lyonnais’ second manager of the season, was sacked at the end of November, he left the club in turmoil. Pierre Sage replaced the Italian – initially on an interim basis – with the club bottom of Ligue 1 and in crisis. Since, Sage, in his first experience at this level, has orchestrated one of the great comebacks in French football history. From bottom of the table in December and in the relegation zone as recently as February, he has guided Lyon to sixth in Ligue 1. Regardless of the result of their Coupe de France final…

Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach was roughed up in his second career start and Atlanta was shut out for the first time in more than a year in their 9-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. “Lot of strikes, kid is learning,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said per ESPN. “He doesn’t have a lot to fall back on yet. But the stuff was good. He threw a lot of strikes. Got hurt with some two-strike, probably got too much of the plate. But he competes really well. Stuff is good and there’s a lot of upside there.” Schwellenbach (0-2) allowed six…

Adam Duvall has been in this position before. Almost this exact same position, actually. The Braves lost star right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. to a torn ligament in his right knee on July 10, 2021. They acquired Duvall from the Marlins 20 days later. He had 16 home runs, 45 RBIs, and an .800 over the rest of the season, and the Braves went on to win the World Series. Acuña tore a ligament in his left knee on May 26 and is again out for the season. This time, Duvall was waiting on Atlanta’s bench, having agreed to a one-year contract worth…

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale has won the National League Pitcher of the Month award after dominating May. A series of unfortunate events allowed for the award to sting Boston Red Sox fans, in particular. The trade involving Sale looks less and less promising for the Sox. Sale pitched to a 0.56 ERA in May, and he racked up a stellar 45 strikeouts. Ten of those strikeouts came on May 8, as Sale plowed through Boston’s lineup to collect a season-best performance. The Red Sox will begin a second two-game series with the Braves on June 4, and they’re lucky enough…

Nick Pivetta teamed up with two relievers to keep the Atlanta Braves to just one hit, while Rafael Devers hit two home runs and drove in three runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 9-0 victory on Wednesday. Pivetta pitched for seven innings, allowing only one hit, which was a leadoff single by Austin Riley in the fourth inning. Despite feeling less than perfect on the mound, Pivetta credited his team’s strong offensive support for allowing him to focus on attacking the strike zone and securing the win. Devers’ impressive performance included a solo home run in the…

As the Atlanta Braves prepare to be active before the MLB Trade Deadline, recent reports are that they will seek to bolster their pitching staff. It has been a good and bad season for the Atlanta Braves this year. On the good side, they are currently in second place in the NL East and once again appear like they will be making the playoffs this season. On the bad side, they have lost arguably both their best hitter, outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., and their best pitcher, Spencer Strider, for the season. Despite being dealt tough injury blows, the Braves just…

Austin Riley hit a single that put the Braves ahead, and Marcell Ozuna followed with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, helping the Atlanta Braves come back to win 5-2 against the Washington Nationals on Thursday night. Adam Duvall also hit a home run in the seventh inning for Atlanta, which has won three out of four games. Rookie pitcher Mitchell Parker pitched well for Washington, not allowing a hit until the sixth inning. However, the Nationals lost their fourth consecutive game and struggled to score runs in their recent matches. The Braves took the lead against Washington’s reliever…

Game Two of the Redemption Finals occurred ten years ago today — June 8, 2014. LeBron James scored 35 points, including 3 of 3 from three, to lead the Heat to a 98-96 win. Manu Ginobili made a three-pointer at the buzzer to make the final score closer, but the important thing was that the Spurs had lost home court advantage only two games into the Finals. As alluded to below, a key to the Spurs’ loss was going 12 for 20 from the free throw line. A more normal 15 for 20 from the line would have made Manu’s…

This week, ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony has made a lot of noise about the San Antonio Spurs. “Every free agent, every veteran guard, they all want to play with Victor Wembanyama,” stated the founder and co-owner of Draftexpress.com during an appearance on The Ringer’s NBA Draft programme. It’s interesting to note that this summer, LeBron James is essentially free agency. Several superstars like James and Paul George have the option to become free agents, while household names like Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, and James Harden, among other big names, are unrestricted. Givony added that the Spurs, who own…
