Share this: It’s that time of year when members of the Baseball Writers Association of America are casting their ballots for the Baseball Hall of Fame and, as always, controversy ensues. ESPN’s Pedro Gomez is the latest BBWAA member to be scrutinized for his ballot, which was released on Twitter on Monday. While one could make the argument that the four players Gomez voted for are worthy of the honor, it’s the players he omitted that caused a stir amongst fellow baseball writers.

Rins talks injury, rookie pressure – and his aims for 2017
Alex Rins: “It was quite hard. I had a whole month in the corset and trying to rest, because back injuries are something to take seriously. The crash was a strange one because I fell, and then a couple of laps later my teammate, Andrea Iannone, fell in exactly the same place. We went through the telemetry trying to determine the cause but we didn’t find anything. I took the same trajectory, the front wheel locked, and I lost it.” Source link
Patriots Vs. Texans Inactives: Danny Amendola Back After Four-Game Absence
by Zack Cox on Sat, Jan 14, 2017 at 6:53PM 2,418 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Danny Amendola will make his return to the New England Patriots’ lineup in Saturday’s divisional-round playoff game against the Houston Texans. Amendola, who missed the final four games of the regular season with a high ankle sprain, was not among the seven Patriots inactives announced 90 minutes before kickoff. Fellow wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell headlined that list, as he was ruled out with a knee injury. Safety Jordan Richards, quarterback Jacoby Brissett, tackle LaAdrian Waddle, running back D.J. Foster and cornerbacks Cyrus Jones and Justin Coleman also will not play against the Texans. Amendola, who has not played since Week 13, likely will handle punt-return duties for New England.
