Scary Kris Bryant Hit-By-Pitch Draws Ire Of Chili Davis, Cubs Coaches
Sunday’s Chicago Cubs-Colorado Rockies game got contentious in a hurry. On just the eighth pitch of his outing at Coors Field, Rockies starter German Marquez drilled Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant in the head with a 96 mph fastball. Bryant was visibly shaken after the frightening incident, which obviously left everyone in the ballpark concerned. Concern wasn’t the only emotion of the moment, though. Cubs hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant hitting coach Andy Haines both were seen angrily yelling at the umpires, as they believed Marquez may have been hit intentionally.

NFL Rumors: Michael Bennett Was “Pain In The Ass” For Seahawks Coaches In 2017
The Philadelphia Eagles added some depth to their defensive line Wednesday by trading for Michael Bennett. But it sounds like they are getting a bit more than just some help up front. Bennett was traded to Philly from the Seattle Seahawks, and though he’s certainly been a productive defensive end over his nine-year NFL career, the three-time Pro Bowl selection also reportedly was a bit of a nuisance to his coaches last season.

Brilliant Bayern too hot to handle for Arsenal
The results have kept on coming, but the differences between Josep Guardiola's Bayern München and Carlo Ancelotti's version have been clear for a while. It has felt like intense domination has given way to a more passive level of control.However, in the UEFA Champions League any gulf between the two coaches' regimes has not been quite so clear. Wednesday's 5-1 round of 16 first-leg demolition of Arsenal was Bayern's 16th straight home win in the competition, spanning the eras of both coaches. Whoever is in charge, it's the same old Bayern in Europe. Off the leash, they're fearsome and few teams can stop them.
