Last Line Tag

I have been tagged twice to share my last line! Since I got two tags I'm gonna do two stories:

Untitled Two Heartbeats Sequel:

“She is so fluffy!” [Su-hyun] squeals in delight. She doesn’t even seem to notice that Puff’s missing an eye and one of her ears is torn up. All she sees is a cute, fluffy cat, and Jordan loves her for it.

Untitled thing about Christian and Livia:

“Spill," [Livia says]. A kink event? Christian? The guy was always shying away from anything Livia said even close to flirting, probably asexual as all get-out, and he was going to a basement kink event? Bullshit.

I invite recommendations for Korean artists that you would like me to research and discuss.

[tomorrowsdrama]

Give me your romance drama recs / drama update

I’m in the mood for a romance drama but am kind of stumped on what I should watch, so PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR RECS!  It can be kdrama, jdrama, cdrama (just maybe not contemporary cdrama since those really aren’t my bag), whatever.  Or even a period English piece.  I’m watching Do You Like Brahms? and really enjoying that so I wouldn’t mind something similar.  Of course, I am also down for something more adult/steamy.  Dysfunction is fine but it needs to have a happy ending.  I guess I’m feeling kind of sappy.  The key is that I want to swoon/feel those butterflies.  

To kind of give you an idea of what I’ve watched/am watching:

Currently Watching

Do You Like Brahms? - LOVE LOVE LOVE.  Slice of life and sweet romance done right.  When Song Ah and Joon Young smile at each other, I smile along with them.  Adorable and sweet without being twee.  An undercurrent of melancholy without being morose/a kill joy.

My Beautiful Bride - I’m loving this and highly recommend it for anyone who likes thrills, action, and a HOT  male lead single-mindedly devoted to his otp, who will go to the ends of the earth to be with her.  He literally lives only to make his otp happy.  While his love for her is what drives the plot of the story, this isn’t necessarily a romance drama.  I mean, sure, I swoon and my heart flutters when I see him beat a group of gangsters to a bloody pulp with nothing but his fists and a key.  And trust me when I say my hormones rage like crazy whenever he’s onscreen.  But I’m looking for a more ordinary kind of love story to add to my roster of dramas.  My Beautiful Bride is like two straight shots of the strongest whiskey in a shady dive bar - it’s intense, exciting, and totally gets me amped up.  However, sometimes I need a break from the Johnnie Walker and slight sense of danger and want a nice, soothing, cup of warm tea instead. 

Cruel City/Heartless City - So I know I just said I needed to mellow out my current watch list but I just LOVE this drama.  It’s got a great otp but again, its main focus is not romance.  Although, it does have one of the hottest kiss scenes in recent years.  If you thought Jung Kyung Ho was nothing but a lanky, beta, weenie, this drama will totally change your mind.  Plus, this is a re-watch so I don’t have to pay attention to everything.

Finished

Flower of Evil - I fully expected to not like this drama before it started because of the terribly misleading promos.  The only reason I checked it out was because I liked Moon Chae Won and Lee Jun Ki.  And boy am I glad I did!  I love me a devoted otp who also stop to take the time to make out.  The way Ji Won saved Hyun Su by just being herself and loving him and the way Hyun Su devotes his entire life to taking care of Ji Won and being a good husband to her - *chef’s kiss*.  OH, also, Kim Ji Hoon’s glorious long hair.  

My Unfamiliar Family - I don’t usually watch family dramas, but this was a nice little surprise.  The romance was sweet.  The healing family trauma aspect was heartwarming and done very well.  Not overwrought at all.  Some of the red herrings/misleading endings threw me a loop but overall, I enjoyed how they resolved the misunderstandings and conflict.  The re-discovery of love between the parents was nice to watch.  Really easy and enjoyable watch with a great slowburn friends to lovers pairing.  I identified with the female lead a bit too much sometimes heh.  Fun fact: The actor playing the dad also played the king in The King and the Clown who was obsessed with Lee Jun Ki’s character.

Dropped

When I Was the Most Beautiful / When I Was the Prettiest - This drama was so disappointing, it kind of upset me to be honest.  The first two episodes started off so promising.  My early 2000s dysfunctional jdrama with questionable teacher/student relationships loving ass thought I was finally getting a return to the good ol’ days (before anyone says anything, no, I do not condone teacher/student relationships in real life).  I mean, they had Ji Soo, the king of playing high school students with impossible one-sided crushes who you want to root for, playing a high school student with a one-sided crush on his art student-teacher.  We also had renowned hottie Ha Suk Jin playing his older brother and Im Soo Hyang playing the woman in between the two hot brothers.  It had all the makings of a wonderful throwback to the old school dramas. But instead, we got stuck with whatever the hell this drama is.  Anyway, disappointing!

The Merchant: Gaekju - I love Jang Hyuk.  I love sageuks.  I love Jang Hyuk in sageuks.  But this story just wasn’t working for me and there was not enough shirtless Jang Hyuk to keep my attention.

Kinda Watching On/Off

Me Too, Flower!  - An old drama that I randomly picked up because I wanted to watch something with Yoon Shi Yoon.  I am only watching this because of the Yoon Shi Yoon-Lee Ji Ah pairing because frankly, the rest of the drama kinda bores me.  Something I put on after work when I don’t want to be too involved/don’t need to concentrate too much.

Angry Mom - I started re-watching portions of this drama because of how pissed off I was about When I Was the Most Beautiful and the disappointment I felt when I foudn out Kim Hee Sun was playing Joo Won’s mom instead of lover in Alice (although from the looks of the posts in the tag, maybe she’s gonna be both? hahaha).  This is Ji Soo’s break out role and for good reason.  His crush on Kim Hee Sun’s undercover high school student mom is adorable and not creepy at all because (1) He doesn’t know she’s an ahjumma (a bit of suspension of disbelief is required for this drama because no matter how great KHS looks, high school student she is not); and (2) it’s completely one-sided and not reciprocated by KHS at all.  Sigh, I just want to watch KHS in a hot noona romance and Ji Soo in a good romance where (1) he gets the girl and (2) the plot is not completely asinine.

Stopped Watching but Really Need to Return to 

Ever Night S1 - Ok, I literally have less than 10 episodes left of this drama but for some reason I keep on putting it off.  I have a real problem finishing dramas I love.  Aside from the fact that I get easily distracted and hop from one drama to the next quite often, I think it’s also because I don’t want the drama to end.  I know there’s a second season, but it just doesn’t seem the same.  Anyway, I should just buck up and finish this drama already.

Novoland Eagle Flag - I took a break because the angst was just non-stop and I needed something a bit lighter. 

Six Flying Dragons - I binged like 10 episodes one day and took a break to give my poor eyes and brain a rest.  Then, in true me fashion, I got distracted by some other drama and now I can’t remember where I left off.

Mr. Sunshine - I love Lee Byung Hun as an actor and I am also a big fan of Byun Yo Han.  This is also the hottest Yoo Yeon Suk has ever looked to me.  But I kind of lost interest when it became apparent that all three male leads were going to be in love with the female lead.  I like the female lead just fine but it’s kind of annoying how everybody is in love with her.  I know this is a quality drama but honestly, I don’t think I will return to this unless I have nothing more interesting to watch.

“The HurriKane”!

Suecia vs Corea del Sur

Partido de interés especial para la afición mexicana pues se enfrentaban sus próximos dos rivales en el grupo F.

El partido fue como se esperaba, cerrado, trabado en medio campo, sin lucidez de tres cuartos de campo hacia adelante y se entiende por la falta de jugadores de talento en ambos conjuntos. Corea del Sur tomó la iniciativa y con la velocidad de Heung-Ming Son como su mejor arma buscaron inaugurar el marcador. Suecia por su parte basaba sus ataques en el centro delantero Marcus Berg fungiendo como poste para después recibir balones aéreos. La primera parte tuvo como héroe al portero coreano Hyun-Woo Cho que detuvo la jugada más clara que tuvo el centro delantero sueco.

La segunda mitad no cambió en lo absoluto, hasta que llegó, con la ayuda del VAR, la pena máxima para el equipo sueco. Su capitán Granqvist cobró de manera perfecta y dio a los suecos tres puntos que los ponen a soñar con la clasificación en el grupo.

De acuerdo a lo mostrado en este partido México no debería tener problemas con estos dos rivales. Corea es un equipo que depende en demasía de Heung-Ming Son, neutralizando al número 7 las opciones de Corea son mínimas. Por parte de los suecos no vimos a su gran figura Emile Forsberg marcar diferencia en la cancha y en zona defensiva se mostraron lentos ambos centrales escandinavos.

El capitán sueco celebra la anotación.

Bélgica vs Panamá

El duelo quizás más disparejo en cuanto a planteles se refiere se jugó esta mañana en Sochi. Los diablos rojos llegan con la etiqueta de favoritos, cuentan con un plantel plagado de estrellas, sin embargo su punto débil se encuentra en la banca. Roberto Martínez su director técnico ha sido cuestionado por la prensa local por su planteamiento y su elección de jugadores, incluso ha recibido críticas de Kevin De Bruyne una de las estrellas belgas. A mí criterio el primer tiempo de este juego fue una clara muestra de por qué tanto se le crítica al seleccionador español. En los 45 minutos no pudo descifrar el esquema defensivo de los panameños que repelían torpemente y con uso de fuerza excesiva cada intento de Bélgica.

Bien dicen que la pelota es floja y decide entrar a la portería que le queda más cerca e iniciando el segundo tiempo Dries Mertens prendió de volea un rechace panameño y concretó el 1-0, la muralla canalera se derrumbaba a pedazos.

El trámite de partido no cambió, Bélgica intentando con la pelota y Panamá pateando desesperadamente a los talentosos como Hazard y Mertens. El segundo gol llegó después de un desborde de Eden Hazard que retrasó el balón para De Bruyne y el jugador del chelsea puso una asistencia espectacular de tres dedos para Romelu Lukaku que remató sin marca en el punto penal.

A partir de ese momento Panamá adelantó líneas buscando el gol del descuento y dejó espacios atrás, espacios que aprovechó Bélgica y por conducto de Eden Hazard y Romelu Lukaku nuevamente consiguieron el 3-0 definitivo.

Resultado esperado, aunque Bélgica quedo a deber en su funcionamiento colectivo y Panamá aguantó hasta donde pudo con todas sus limitantes.

Tunez vs Inglaterra

La escuadra de la rosa llega con una equipo joven que busca dejar atrás los ridículos cometidos por la generación anterior. Tunez es un equipo que se caracterizó en la eliminatoria africana por su solidez defensiva y eficacia a la hora de llegar al marco rival.

Los ingleses comenzaron como un vendaval en campo tunecino y antes de 5 minutos ya había tenido dos ocasiones de gol en las piernas de Jesee Lingard y Raheem Sterling. Harry Kane se encargó de abrir el marcador después de aprovechar un mal rechace del portero rival. Inglaterra buscaba ampliar la ventaja y se quedó realmente cerca hasta que, en una decisión incorrecta para mí, el árbitro central señaló penal a favor del equipo africano, despuesd e que Kyle Walker golpeó, posiblemente de manera accidental, con el brazo el rostro de su rival en una jugada donde el balón ni siquiera estaba en disputa. El cobro del penalti fue efectivo y Tunez sorprendía al mundo entero con su anotación.

Inglaterra, tratando de confirmar su papel de favorito para avanzar de ronda en el grupo, continuó con las ofensivas pero conforme avanzaban el reloj se volvía más predecible. Marcus Rashford ingresó al terreno de juego para tratar de revertir la situación pero ya no había desequilibrio en el ataque inglés. Tuvo que llegar de nueva cuenta Harry Kane en un tiro de esquina para anotar el gol definitivo con un certero cabezaso.

Inglaterra mostró que está generación aun no está lo suficientemente madura para aspirar a grandes cosas, no creo que encuentren dificultades para avanzar de ronda, pero en fases eliminatorias les puede pesar la inexperiencia.

Revisión de la temporada baja: Medias Blancas de Chicago

Los Medias Blancas dejaron en claro que su reconstrucción de tres años ha terminado, persiguiendo agresivamente a los agentes libres veteranos y atrayendo a varios de ellos. También bloquearon múltiples piezas centrales con extensiones.

Firmas de Grandes Ligas

Yasmani Grandal, C: cuatro años,  73 millones $ Dallas Keuchel, SP: tres años,  55.5 millones $ Incluye la opción de club / otorgamiento de  20 millones $ para 2023 con una compra de  1.5 millones $ Jose Abreu, 1B: un año,  17.8 millones $ (oferta calificada aceptada) Edwin Encarnación, DH: un año, 12 millones $ . Incluye la opción de club de  12 millones $ para 2021 Steve Cishek, RP: un año,  6 millones $ . Incluye la opción de club de  6.75 millones $ para 2021 con una compra de 750 millones $ Gio Gonzalez, SP: un año, $ 5MM. Incluye la opción de club de $ 7MM para 2021 con una compra de $ 500K Gasto total: $ 169.3MM Comercios y reclamaciones Extensiones Yoan Moncada, 3B: cinco años, $ 70MM. Incluye la opción de club de $ 25MM para 2025 con una compra de $ 5MM Luis Robert, CF: seis años, $ 50MM. Incluye opciones de club de $ 20MM para 2026 y ’27 José Abreu, 1B: dos años, $ 32MM Aaron Bummer, RP: cinco años, $ 16MM. Incluye opciones de club para 2025 y ’26 Leury García, OF / IF: un año, $ 3.5MM. Incluye la opción de club de $ 3.5MM para 2021 con una compra de $ 250K. Este contrato reemplazó un acuerdo de arbitraje de $ 3.25MM por un año. Notables fichajes de ligas menores Ross Detwiler, Andrew Romine, Gorkys Hernández, Cheslor Cuthbert, Caleb Frare, Ryan Burr, Nicky Delmonico, Bryan Mitchell, Matt Skole, Adalberto Mejia, Zach Putnam, Christian Friedrich Pérdidas notables Yolmer Sanchez, Welington Castillo, Ryan Cordell, Jon Jay, Charlie Tilson, Ryan Goins, Ivan Nova, Josh Osich, Dylan Covey, Manny Banuelos, Hector Santiago, Juan Minaya, Odrisamer Despaigne

Aunque la temporada baja de los Medias Blancas tuvo un comienzo desfavorable con el derroche del dinero del bono de bonos internacionales en el intercambio de Welington Castillo, rápidamente hicieron de ese acuerdo una nota al pie al firmar al receptor Yasmani Grandal con el contrato más grande en la historia de la franquicia.

Grandal puede ser el mejor bateador y lanzador de lanzamientos entre todos los receptores de MLB, y podría representar una mejora de cuatro victorias sobre el titular James McCann (que se convierte en un papel de respaldo). La firma también permitió a los Medias Blancas superar la búsqueda fallida de Manny Machado el invierno pasado, lo que demuestra que en realidad estaban dispuestos y podían ganar la licitación de un agente libre superior.

En agosto, Daryl Van Schouwen, del Chicago Sun-Times, citó al primera base de los Medias Blancas, José Abreu, diciendo a través de un intérprete: “(El propietario) Jerry (Reinsdorf) varias veces me dijo a mí y a mi familia que no voy a usar un jersey que no sea el de los White Sox “. Aunque Abreu estuvo brevemente en el mercado abierto después de que los Medias Blancas emitieran una oferta calificada de $ 17.8MM por un año, luego dijo a los periodistas que no consideraba otros equipos. Con las conversaciones de extensión de varios años en curso, Abreu eligió aceptar esa oferta de calificación de un año cuando la decisión venció el 14 de noviembre.

En un sentido frío y calculador, los Medias Blancas podrían haber explotado la situación y simplemente dejar que el acuerdo de un año permanezca, cubriendo la temporada de 33 años de Abreu. Pragmáticamente, la reestructuración del acuerdo de un año y $ 17.8MM como un pacto de tres años y $ 50MM para enganchar las temporadas de 34 y 35 años de Abreu no fue una buena decisión de béisbol por parte del vicepresidente senior / gerente general de los White Sox, Rick Hahn. Pero claramente, Abreu significa más para el propietario del equipo y la franquicia que solo su WAR, y no hay razón para que los fanáticos se opongan a su contrato a menos que obstaculice al club de hacer otras mejoras.

Ciertamente, ese no fue el caso a corto plazo, ya que los Medias Blancas persiguieron agresivamente el siguiente elemento en su lista de compras de invierno: una importante adición de lanzamiento inicial. No hay evidencia de que estuvieran en la mezcla para Gerrit Cole y Stephen Strasburg, quienes firmaron acuerdos récord por $ 324MM y $ 245MM, respectivamente. Por lo tanto, se esperaba un nivel de moderación de una franquicia de los Medias Blancas que siempre ha rechazado la idea de garantizar más de cinco años a un lanzador abridor.

En cambio, los Medias Blancas hicieron todo lo posible para fichar al tercer mejor lanzador abridor en el mercado de agentes libres: el derecho Zack Wheeler. Wheeler finalmente firmó con los Filis durante cinco años y $ 118MM, y se rumoreaba que los Medias Blancas habían alcanzado los $ 120MM. Como dijo Jim Margalus, de Sox Machine: “Por primera vez en la historia documentada, los White Sox terminaron con la oferta más alta para un agente libre que consiguió un contrato de nueve cifras. solo que no fue lo suficientemente bueno como para conseguirlo. jugador.” Según los informes, Wheeler tenía una fuerte preferencia por permanecer cerca de Nueva Jersey. Como Margalus señaló en su publicación, es cierto que los Medias Blancas podrían haber subido al rango de $ 125-130MM, pero “en algún momento de las negociaciones la parte perdedora tiene que tomar la indirecta”. Además, si los Medias Blancas hubieran abrumado la preferencia geográfica de Wheeler al pagar en exceso, no se sabe cómo ese tipo de arreglo mercenario habría funcionado en términos del desempeño de Wheeler.

El zurdo veterano Cole Hamels podría haber sido el segundo en la lista de deseos de los Medias Blancas, pero terminó con los Bravos en un contrato de un año y $ 18MM. Si nos fijamos en las primicias del 4 de diciembre de Marc Carig de The Athletic y Jeff Passan de ESPN, las noticias del acuerdo de Wheeler llegaron dos horas después de que se rompió el acuerdo de Hamels. Ambas series de negociaciones involucraron a los Filis y los Medias Blancas, pero parece posible que los Medias Blancas quisieran ver qué sucedió con Wheeler antes de firmar con Hamels, tal vez porque no se sentían cómodos al desembarcar a ambos y pagarles más de $ 40MM en total. 2020. El resultado final: los Medias Blancas continuaron descendiendo en su lista de preferencias de lanzadores iniciales.

Aunque hubo tiempo suficiente para dedicarse a la búsqueda de Madison Bumgarner, no está claro si los Medias Rojas tenían interés o si la geografía habría vuelto a convertir a Chicago en la dama de honor de todos modos. Entonces, ¿quién iba a tomar el dinero de los White Sox? No Jordan Lyles, ya que fue a los Rangers unos días más tarde durante dos años y $ 16MM. Los Medias Blancas estaban entre los subcampeones. Quizás Lyles fue concebido como la pieza de rotación secundaria, que finalmente se convirtió en Gio González en un contrato de un año. Será un regreso a casa para el zurdo de 34 años, quien fue reclutado en el puesto 38 en general por los Medias Blancas en 2004, pero fue cambiado a los Filis en el acuerdo de Jim Thome en 2005. González luego se unió a los Medias Blancas, junto con Gavin Floyd, en el intercambio de diciembre de 2006 con Freddy García. Sin embargo, los Sox cambiarían a González nuevamente un año después, esta vez a Oakland en el acuerdo de Nick Swisher.

Solo entonces González hizo su debut en la MLB, por lo que el veterano de 12 años aún no se ha puesto el uniforme de los Medias Blancas en un juego de temporada regular. El zurdo a menudo ha superado sus estadísticas periféricas, tal vez debido a su éxito en limitar el contacto duro. Una efectividad en los 4.00 bajos sería suficiente para que el contrato de un año sea un éxito.

Para la segunda mitad de diciembre, los Medias Blancas recurrieron a los clientes de Scott Boras, Dallas Keuchel y Hyun-Jin Ryu, por necesidad. Parecía que ambos lanzadores estaban dispuestos a firmar con el mejor postor. Los Medias Blancas terminaron con Keuchel, quien tenía un compromiso menor. El jugador de 32 años tiene un techo más bajo que Ryu, pero también puede ser la opción más segura según sus registros de salud. Keuchel no es tan emocionante como Zack Wheeler, pero incluso en retrospectiva es difícil decir que los Medias Blancas deberían haber elegido un lanzador de agente libre diferente.

Quizás el mercado comercial podría haber ofrecido una adición más interesante, con Corey Kluber y David Price eventualmente cambiando de equipo. Pero los indios pueden no haber estado dispuestos a mover a Kluber dentro de la división, y los Medias Blancas estaban en contacto con los Medias Rojas en el precio.

Junto con esta búsqueda de pitcheo, los Medias Blancas intentaban simultáneamente mejorar en el campo derecho y en el bateador designado. Golpearon primero en el jardín derecho, agregando a Nomar Mazara directamente para el prospecto de campo central Steele Walker. Walker fue prescindible para los White Sox de repente ganadores, ya que el jugador de 23 años podría ser el cuarto jardinero y aún no ha jugado en Double-A.

Mazara, de 25 años este mes, ha registrado casi 2,200 apariciones en el plato para los Rangers, pero en su mayoría es atractivo por su potencial. En sus cuatro temporadas con Texas, Mazara nunca ha excedido un 95 wRC + (100 es el promedio de la liga). Los Medias Blancas y el nuevo entrenador de bateo Frank Menechino deben creer que pueden encontrar otro equipo en Mazara. El club exploró alternativas antes de decidirse por Mazara, según los informes, incluyendo a Marcell Ozuna, Joc Pederson, Kole Calhoun, Nick Castellanos y Yasiel Puig.

Los Medias Blancas hicieron una sólida incorporación en el puesto de DH con Edwin Encarnación. Incluso a los 37 años, Encarnación sigue siendo capaz de una temporada de 120 wRC +. Ha lanzado al menos 32 jonrones en cada una de las últimas ocho temporadas. No importa cómo se desenvuelva la temporada 2020, los Medias Blancas tendrán la oportunidad de volver a intentarlo con Encarnación al ejercer una opción de $ 12MM para 2021.

A finales de diciembre, los Medias Blancas se centraron en aumentar su bullpen, que está anclado por Alex Colome, Kelvin Herrera y Aaron Bummer. Con la mayoría de los principales agentes libres ya fuera del tablero, Hahn enganchó al sidearmer Steve Cishek. El jugador de 33 años saltará a través de la ciudad después de dos temporadas exitosas fuera del bullpen de los Cachorros. Aunque este grupo ha tenido éxito a veces, todavía es fácil imaginarse al bullpen como un punto débil para los Medias Blancas 2020.

Con la mayor parte de sus compras fuera de temporada, el nuevo año se trató de bloquear piezas centrales para los Medias Blancas. Primero llegó el súper prospecto Luis Robert, cuyo acuerdo de $ 50MM es un récord para un jugador que aún no ha aparecido en las Grandes Ligas. El contrato cierra la posible manipulación del tiempo de servicio de Robert, quien los Medias Rojas ahora están motivados para incluirlo en la lista del Día de Apertura.

Otros potenciales novatos de 2020 como Nate Pearson y Jo Adell, sin contratos de Grandes Ligas, están en una posición en la que no podrán obtener ningún servicio de Grandes Ligas en 2020 si se cancela la temporada. Robert tampoco ganaría tiempo de servicio, pero el resultado sería su primera opción de club cubriendo su última temporada de arbitraje y su segunda opción de club cubriendo su primer año de agente libre.

Dejando a un lado los posibles efectos del coronavirus, Ken Rosenthal de The Athletic señaló que “Robert será pagado en la cima del mercado de arbitraje, ganando más de lo que Anthony Rendon ($ 49.4 millones), Harper ($ 47.9 millones) y Manny Machado ($ 34 millones) hicieron antes”. llegando a la agencia libre “. Como lo calificó Rosenthal como ejecutivo rival, los Medias Blancas pagaron un “seguro superestrella” a Robert. Lo que significa que si Robert se convierte en uno de los mejores jugadores de béisbol, tenía la oportunidad de superar los $ 50MM a través del arbitraje, como lo hicieron Mookie Betts y Kris Bryant y Francisco Lindor. Ciertamente, hay escenarios en los que los Medias Blancas pagaron en exceso durante los años de arbitraje de Robert, es decir, si se trata de lesiones significativas, pero el contrato aún podría ser un lavado para el equipo dado el posible valor excedente del año de agente libre que compraron.

Luego, los Medias Blancas encerraron a Bummer. Esto también parece estar diseñado para proteger contra la posibilidad de que Bummer haya comenzado a acumular enormes salarios de arbitraje, lo cual es un poco extraño. Solo ha acumulado un salvamento hasta el momento en su carrera y no estaba programado para la novena entrada en 2020. Por lo tanto, es difícil ver cómo podría haber ganado más de $ 16MM a través del arbitraje. Los Medias Blancas todavía tienen opciones de clubes en sus dos primeras temporadas de agentes libres, pero tratar de predecir si un relevista será valioso dentro de cinco años es una tontería. Quizás los Medias Rojas sienten que Bummer es un lanzador que se desempeñará mejor sabiendo que está preparado para la vida financiera.

La tercera extensión del club de la temporada baja fue para Yoan Moncada. Al igual que Robert, Moncada es un desertor cubano que ya había acumulado un gran bono por firmar. Es un poco sorprendente que Moncada haya aprovechado esta oferta dados los $ 31.5MM que ya tenía en el banco tras firmar con los Medias Rojas hace cinco años. Moncada no alcanzó las alturas de la extensión de Alex Bregman, lo cual tiene sentido ya que sus logros no se acumularon. Pero con todas las flechas apuntando hacia arriba en Moncada, otra temporada similar a su campaña de 2019 habría puesto el listón por encima de los $ 100MM. Así que los Medias Blancas hicieron bien en encerrarlo en $ 70MM y comprar dos años de agente libre.

Quizás los Medias Blancas se beneficiarían de una temporada 2020 más corta, como sugirió Jeff Todd de MLBTR. Por ejemplo, su rotación estaba programada para recibir un impulso este año, con Carlos Rodon y Michael Kopech potencialmente regresando de la cirugía de Tommy John en junio. Me imagino que los Medias Blancas son como alguien que pasó tres años restaurando un automóvil en su garaje y ahora está ansioso por sacarlo a pasear. Si bien reina la incertidumbre durante esta etapa de la pandemia de coronavirus, los Medias Blancas ahora están construidos para una larga carrera de éxito.

Incluso sin un acuerdo a largo plazo (todavía) para el as Lucas Giolito, los Medias Blancas lo controlan hasta 2023. Moncada está controlado hasta 2025, Eloy Jiménez hasta ’26 y Robert hasta ’27. Y ni siquiera hemos discutido perspectivas como Andrew Vaughn y Nick Madrigal. Las cosas están mejorando para los Medias Blancas, siempre que puedan salir al campo. – ¿Cómo calificaría la temporada baja de los Medias Blancas?

Im Soo Jung talked about acting in “Search: WWW” and working with her co-star Jang Ki Yong

New Post has been published on http://www.whatsupkpop.com/im-soo-jung-talked-about-acting-in-search-www-and-working-with-her-co-star-jang-ki-yong/

Im Soo Jung talked about acting in “Search: WWW” and working with her co-star Jang Ki Yong

TVN new drama ‘Enter the search WWW’ (hereafter ‘WWW’) starring actor Lim Soo-jung (photo) revealed the reason for the appearance of the drama.

At the ‘WWW’ production presentation held at Imperial Palace Selena Hall in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, director Jung Ji-hyun and Lim Soo Jung, actor Jang Yong-ha, Ida Hee and Jeon Hye-jin attended and talked about their work. Actor Lim Soo-jung revealed his confidence toward the character of the play.

On the afternoon of the 29th, at the Imperial Palace in Seoul, a TVN new drama “Enter a search query WWW” was held. The actors Lim Soo Jung, Jang Yong Yong, Ida Hee and Jeon Hye Jin attended and talked about their works.

On the 5th of the month, the first ‘Enter your search terms WWW’ (hereafter ‘Goble Bay’) is a portal site leading to trends, in which the real romances of men and women shaking their hearts are drawn.

Lim Jae-jung was the vice president of service strategy at Unicorn, the No. 1 portal in the industry. In the previously released ‘Swordblue’ trailer, Bae Tammy (Lim Soo Jung) showed Walker Holic who watched what people were searching the most and what they were interested in from the subway. As a witness, she did not receive a lot of flash baptism at the hearing, and her daily life, which was up to someone’s thrown egg, reminded me of a gunless war.

After the ‘Chicago typewriter’ (2017), Lim Soo Jung returns to the theater for a long time. At the production presentation site, Lim Soo-jung said, “The story of women working on the portal site was shared.” “I expect that 2040 viewers will get a lot of love.”

“I thought it was a new character that I have never seen before in a drama. Goal-oriented and achievement to succeed. But it shows weakness before love. You can look just like that if you look just like that, but it’s no bigger than you think. The stories of three wonderful women and their partners came up attractive, “he said.

There are a lot of similarities between Bataami and actual imjingjeong. Lim Soo-jung, “Marriage and Lee Sung-gwan resemble my appearance. So is the achievement of career. “As a single woman, I have a lot of sympathy because I live as a working actor.” I think it is a very happy opportunity. I think maybe a lot of actresses will feel attractive. ”

Meanwhile, ‘Enter the search WWW’ co-directed director Ji Sung Hyun co-directed ‘Sean Shine’, and Kwon Doo, who accumulated his expertise as an assistant writer for Kim Eun-sook, coincided with the author. ‘And lonely, god-dokkaebi’ and ‘Sean Shine’ and TVAnn Pictures, who has made the best TV commercials, will be produced. tvN ‘her private life’ will be broadcast first at 9:30 pm on June 5th.

The drama ‘WWW’ depicts the stories of women working in the portal industry. The main characters are Bae Tam (Lim Soo Jung), Cha Hyun (Ida Hee), Song Ga Kyeong (Jeon Hye Jin) who work together with desire for success.

In the drama, Lim Soo-jung moved from ‘Unicorn’, the No. 1 market share portal, to ‘Baro’, and took the first place in the industry as Hoshi Tamtam. Lim Soo-jung, who returned to the drama ‘WWW’ in two years, said, “The female character called ‘Battami’ is a new character that has not been seen in dramas until now.

Lim Su – jeong said, “I am aiming at my job and have a strong sense of accomplishment to succeed.” On the other hand, there is no need to express weakness in front of love, and to say something in front of love, “explains the character.

“I felt like I was very similar to myself,” he said. “I liked the marriage, Lee Sung-gwan, and the achievement of my career.”

“I think it’s a great opportunity for me to thank you for coming to me,” she said. “Maybe quite a lot of female actors would feel attractive to this character.”

Lim also mentioned about the long-term use of his partner (left), which forms a love line with him.

He said, “This is the first time I’ve met with this work and I’m breathing.” “It’s a quiet and calm type, but it’s like a real brother.”

“In reality drama,” (long-term use) is a ten-year-old difference between the two, “and” rather than showing the fantasy of a simple young man and a woman, “He said.

He said, “There are many scenes for female viewers who love drama, and I am confident.”

On the other hand, ‘WWW’ is a drama that once again coincided with TVN, which produced ‘Dokkaebi’ and ‘Miss Shine’.

Kwon Doo, who co-directed ‘Sean Shine’ and co-writer Kim Eun-sook as writers co-wrote ‘WWW’, plays scriptwriting.

‘WWW’ will be broadcasted at 9:30 pm on June 5, following the current drama ‘her private life’.

Visual Kei is a term used to indicate a Japanese music and clothing style with varying levels of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes. Bands well known to be Visual Kei are L’arc-an-ciel, Dir en grey, The Gazette, Alice Nine, D’espairsRay and Girugamesh among others. We have recently noticed that there have been newer bands emerging who aren’t from Japan but Korea but do really well in the Visual Kei scene in Japan, one of them is Madman Esprit (toured Europe recently) and another still very much unknown band named VOID, they have released their first album Neo Decadence last year and are touring South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

VOID has adopted the 2010 Visual kei style and recently released their first album “NEO DECADENCE” but are already working on their next single. We got in contact with them and had the chance to conduct an interview, So lets get to that and have VOID introduce themselves.

Q1: Not many people in Europe know VOID yet, Could you introduce yourself? A1: Hello, nice European fans, it is good to meet you! We are the Korean Visual Kei / New Wave Band, VOID. We debuted in 2018 and released our first EP. In 2018 we also toured in Japan, Taiwan, in Korea, and performed again in Japan in March 2019. In the last year we have been working pretty hard (lol) and will release our next single in the summer of 2019. Our members are TOA (vocalist), Robyn (Guitarist), Bi Su Hyun (Bassist), and Shin (drummer).

유럽의 멋쟁이들, 다들 반갑다! 우리는 한국 비주얼록/뉴웨이브 밴드 보이드야. 우리는 2018년에 데뷔했고 첫번째 EP를 발매했어. 그리고 아마 2019년 여름에 새 싱글이 나올 것 같다. 2018년에는 일본, 대만, 한국에서 아시아투어를 했어. 우리 1년동안 좀 빡세게 산 거 같다(ㅋㅋ). 우리는 2019년 3월에 시부야에서 공연을 한번 가졌고 지금은 싱글 작업에 매진하고 있어. 멤버? 다음과 같아 : 보컬 토아 / 기타 로빈 / 베이스 비수현 / 드럼 신

Q2: How did you start playing music? A2: We have all been in bands for over ten years – just not the same bands! TOA and Robyn have been in visual kei bands. Bi Su Hyun was in an alternative rock band and also enjoyed visual kei. Shin played drums in jazz and pop bands but was close friends of the other VOID members. Due to this and also being a reliable drummer, Shin was chosen to join VOID as an official member in 2019.

우리 다들 거의 10년정도 활동 한 거 같아. 물론 다들 다른 밴드에 속해있었지. 토아랑 로빈은 옛날부터 한국 비주얼계에서 활동했어. 비수현은 얼터너티브 록밴드를 했지. 물론, 그���도 비주얼계를 좋아했지만. 신은 재즈밴드나 팝밴드에서 활동했지만 나머지 멤버들과 아주 친했어. 그리고 아주 믿음직한 드러머였지. 그래서 그는 보이드의 멤버가 됐어.

Q3: How did you come up with the name VOID? A3: The name was decided by Robyn. The earliest two members, TOA and Robyn, were feeling a great deal of futility. “Let’s fill in the void with meaningful things.” Robyn first brought up the team name, and that is why we became VOID. After that, the other members joined… and we began to have fans, also. The void began to fill, just like the band’s name.

이걸 처음 정한건 로빈이야. 그 당시에, 초창기 멤버인 토아랑 로빈은 엄청난 허무함을 겪고 있었거든. “공허에서부터 유의미한 것들을 채워나가자.” 로빈이 처음으로 팀이름에 관해서 이야기를 꺼냈지. 그게 우리가 보이드가 된 이유야. 그 후에 멤버들이 들어오고, 팬이 생기고… 팀 이름처럼 공허에서부터 채워지기 시작했지.

Q4: VOID is from South Korea but you’re inspired by Japanese Visual kei, Can you tell us why? A4: This is a question that needs a little bit of a complicated explanation. First, you need to know that for us, visual kei is not just “Japanese culture”, but rather “cultural shock”. When all of the members were younger, Japanese products and culture were banned in South Korea – there was no legal way to enjoy anything from Japan. In the members’ early teenage years, South Korea began to allow the import of Japanese music, anime, games, and other culture – and visual kei was officially imported. For us, Visual Kei was a culture shock like David Bowie or Queen. Why? Because we had never seen such a thing before! So it is not enough to say that we were influenced by Japanese culture. We were influenced and completely shocked in our adolescence by this culture.

이건 조금 복잡한 설명이 필요한데. 우선, 너희들이 알아뒀으면 하는 게 있어. 우리에게 비주얼계는 단순히 일본 문화가 아니라 ‘문화충격’이었다는 거야. 왜냐하면 우리가 사춘기를 겪기 전에는, 한국에서 일본문화를 소비하는 것이 불법이었어. 하지만 우리가 사춘기를 거칠 때, 한국에서 일본문화가 개방되었지. 그때 비주얼계도 정식으로 한국에 수입되었어. 우리에게, 이 비주얼계는 데이빗 보위나 퀸 같은 완벽한 컬처쇼크였어. 왜? 왜냐면 그 전에는 본 적이 아예

없으니까! 그래서 우리가 일본문화에 영향을 받았다는 건 충분한 표현이 아니야. 우리는 우리의 청소년기에 충격 받은 문화들에 영향을 받은거지.

Q5: In a country with so much KPOP, how did you come in contact with Visual Kei? A5: All of the members’ personalities are crooked (LOL). We don’t want to do anything that is easy. Of course, we are also not good at dancing. Korea is a country where trends change very quickly. We want to be craftsmen who keep doing one thing and honing their skill in this sort of place. That is why we do visual kei.

그건 멤버들 성격이 다 삐뚤어져서 그래(ㅋㅋ). 우리는 쉬운 건 별로 하고 싶지가 않거든. 물론 우리는 춤도 잘 못추고. 한국은 트렌드가 매우 빨리 변하는 나라야. 우리는 그런 나라에서 한가지 것을 오랫동안 하는 장인이 되고 싶어. 그게 우리가 비주얼계를 하는 이유야.

Q6: Who inspires you? A6: TOA : People who I have met in the past Robyn : Weather and emotions (not people) Bi Su Hyun : ME Shin: Amateurs playing and everything in the world.

토아 : 과거에 만났던 사람들 로빈 : 날씨나 감정 비수현 : 나 신 : 아마추어들의 연주, 그리고 세상의 모든 것들

Q7: Who are you favorite artists? A7: TOA : TAKUI, MUCC Robyn : L’Arc~en~ciel, ONE OK ROCK, Alan Olav Walker Bi Su Hyun : HIDE, Martin Adam Friedman, Polyphia Shin : Nickelback, my first story, anika nilles, Benny greb

    Q8: You released your first EP, can you introduce it to our readers? A8: The name of the album is “Neo Decadence”. We did it ourselves. Writing, composing, producing… We’re a little queasy and embarassed now that I think about it again(joke). Before this album, we thought we should do the right thing when we do Visual Kei. This is the album that got us to the limit. CD JOURNAL also reviewed this album as a flawless Visual Kei release. In AMAZON JAPAN, this album was temporarily out of stock. We think it’s a good album. It’s an album worth listening to once.

이 앨범의 이름은 <Neo Decadence>야. 우리는 스스로 다 해냈지. 작사, 작곡, 프로듀싱. 다시 생각하니까 조금 토나온다(농담이야). 이 앨범 전에는, 우리는 비주얼계를 좀 적당히 하���고 생각했거든. 이건 우리를 극한까지 끌어올린 앨범이야. CD JOURNAL에서는 흠잡을 데 없는 비주얼계라고 리뷰해줬지. 아마존 재팬에서는 일시 품절 되기도 했고. 우리 생각에 좋은 앨범이야. 한번쯤은 들을만한 가치가 있는 앨범이지.

Q9: What is your favorite memory so far about being an artist? A9: TOA : When I saw a fan memorizing all the lyrics I wrote. Robyn : When the new song was released. Bi Su Hyun : Every moment when I’m a member of VOID. Shin : Every moment we prepare for the performance, agonize over it, and meet each other’s opinions. And the results and performances of it.

토아 : 내가 쓴 가사를 외우고 있는 팬을 만날 때 로빈 : 신곡이 나올 때

비수현 : 보이드를 하는 모든 순간 신 : 우리가 협의하고 결과물을 향해 나아가는 모든 순간, 그리고 그 결과물들.

Q10: What does VOID hope for in the future? A10 : TOA : THE LEGEND. Robyn : The band that counts down from 7 days before the release of a new song in Times Square in the U.S. Bi Su Hyun : TOKYO DOME ARTIST. Shin : The team that will lead Korean rock.

토아 : 전설 로빈 : 신곡이 릴리즈 되면 타임스퀘어에서 7일 전부터 카운트다운 하는 밴드 비수현 : 도쿄돔 아티스트 신 : 한국록을 이끌어가는 팀

Q11: Going to your live show, what can people expect? A11: Well, it’s a performance, too. We think the good thing about Visual Kei is that we’re not bound by a single piece of music. So we can play various kinds of music, too. And we’re usually kind(lol). That’s one of the good things.

음, 역시 퍼포먼스겠지. 그리고 우리가 생각하는 비주얼계의 좋은 점은 하나의 음악에 구속되지 않는다는 거야. 그래서 우리는 다양한 음악을 연주할 수 있어. 그리고 우리는 대체로 친절해(ㅋㅋ). 이것도 좋은 점 중 하나겠지.

Q12: You’re recording a new single, can you tell us about it? A12: Fast beat, strong sound. It’s just VOID. Come to think of it, it’;s also the first time all four of us have participated. Until then, the members weren’t completely decided. You can count on it.

빠른 비트, 강한 사운드. 보이드 그 자체지. 돌이켜보면, 멤버 모두가 참가한 건 처음이로군. 그 전까지는 멤버가 좀 불안한 면이 있었어. 기대해도 좋아.

Q13: If our readers are interested in finding your music, where can they find it online? How can they buy your first EP? A13: You can buy our first EP yourself from Amazon Japan or CD JAPAN. Oh, I don’t know if you guys know, but Spotify also has our music.

아마존재팬��나 CD 재팬에서 우리 앨범을 구매할 수 있어. 너희가 아는지는 모르겠는데, 스포티파이에도 우리 음악이 있어.

Q14: Is there anything you want to tell our readers? A14: I hope you guys know us a lot through this interview. Please support us a lot. Thank you!

HISTÓRICO TRIUNFO DE DODGERS

Los Ángeles.-Dodgers logra primer triunfo en el juego más largo de las Series Mundiales*****Derrotaron a los Medias Rojas de Boston con una pizarra  final de 3-2, en el tercer juego de la Serie Mundial en un histórico duelo que se extendió a 18 entradas 

LOS ÁNGELES -- Max Muncy bateó un jonrón en el cierre del episodio número 18 para que los Dodgers de Los Ángeles vencieran de manera dramática 3-2 a los Medias Rojas de Boston, el viernes en el Dodger Stadium, en el partido más largo de la historia de la Serie Mundial de Grandes Ligas.

El jonrón de Muncy se produjo con las bases limpias contra el derecho Nathan Eovaldi, quien estaba trabajando en su séptima entrada. El zurdo Alex Wood (1-0) fue el pitcher ganador y Eovaldi, quien originalmente estaba programado para ser el abridor del juego #4 el sábado, fue el derrotado.

Los Medias Rojas, que lideran la serie 2-1, no pudieron retener la ventaja que consiguieron en el inning 13, perdieron su primer partido en la ruta en la postemporada y fallaron en colocarse a una victoria del noveno título de su historia y el cuarto desde el 2004 en un partido que impuso récords de duración en tiempo (7 horas y 20 minutos) y por entradas en una Serie Mundial.

La marca anterior era de 14 innings: En el juego #1 del 2015 entre Mets de Nueva York y Reales de Kansas City, en el #3 del 2005 entre Medias Blancas de Chicago y Astros de Houston y en el #2 de 1916 entre los Robins de Brooklyn y los Medias Rojas. Los Dodgers se llamaron Robins entre 1914 y 1931.

Con el partido empatado 1-1 en el inning 13, Brock Holt recibió boleto del zurdo Scott Alexander y se robó la segunda base, bateando el dominicano Eduardo Núñez. Cuando Núñez bateó un rodado por el box, Alexander lanzó mal a primera, permitiendo que anotara Holt. El anotador otorgó sencillo a Núñez y error en tiro al lanzador que permitió la anotación.

En el cierre de esa entrada, Muncy recibió boleto de Eovaldi, quien se repuso dominando a Manny Machado y Cody Bellinger para poner la entrada a punto de mate. Muncy avanzó a segunda base cuando el antesalista Núñez cayó a las gradas mientras atrapaba el elevado de foul de Bellinger.

El cubano Yasiel Puig bateó un rodado por segunda base, que el anotador oficial apuntó como hit al cuadro, y entonces Muncy anotó cuando Ian Kinsler lanzó desviado a la primera base.

Ambos equipos usaron nueve lanzadores para empatar el récord en un juego de Serie Mundial, con los Dodgers del año pasado y los Medias Blancas del 2005. Los Ángeles utilizó a Walker Buehler, Kenley Jansen, Pedro Báez, Ryan Madson, Scott Alexander, Dylan Floro, Kenta Maeda, Julio Urías y Alex Wood, mientras que Boston puso a desfilar a Rick Porcello, Eduardo Rodríguez, Joe Kelly, Ryan Brasier, Craig Kimbrel, Heath Hembree y Eovaldi.

El jardinero de los Medias Rojas enmudeció las gradas y dictó 'partido 

Los dirigentes Alex Cora y Dave Roberts usaron 23 de sus 25 peloteros en el roster, empatando la marca del clásico. Solamente los lanzadores zurdos Drew Pomeranz y Chris Sale no jugaron por los Medias Rojas y los pitchers zurdos Rich Hill y Hyun-Jin Ryu no lo hicieron por los Dodgers. El estelar zurdo Clayton Kershaw, de Los Angeles, bateó de emergente en el inning 17.

Por la mayor parte del encuentro, la figura central fue Walker Buehler, un novato de 24 años y 90 días de edad, el más joven lanzador de los Dodgers que comienza un choque de Serie Mundial desde que el zurdo mexicano Fernando Valenzuela abriera el tercer juego del clásico de 1981 contra los Yankees de Nueva York un día antes de cumplir 21 años.

Buehler lanzó siete poderosas entradas de dos hits, sin carrera ni base por bolas y siete ponches en una noche mágica con 53,114 en las gradas del Dodger Stadium para superar al derecho Rick Porcello (1-1). La victoria se le escapó a Buehler, cuando Jansen, el cerrador curazoleño de los Dodgers, permitió cuadrangular al jardinero Jackie Bradley que empató el encuentro 1-1 en el octavo inning.

Buehler es el cuarto abridor de la historia de la Serie Mundial (que comenzó en 1903) con al menos siete entradas de dos o menos corredores en bases y el primero desde Jim Lonborg en 1967.

El jardinero central de Los Ángeles enfrió al corredor sustituto Ian Kinsler en el plato, en la parte alta del décimo episodio.

Además, es el primer novato de la historia con cuatro salidas de siete o más ponches en la postemporada y el primer novato con siete ceros en un juego del clásico de otoño desde el dominicano Yordano Ventura (QEPD) en el 2014.

Buehler abanicó a Mookie Betts y Xander Bogaerts antes de dominar a Mitch Moreland con elevado al jardín derecho, pero necesitó 26 lanzamientos para sacar el cero en el primer inning, debido mayormente a que los bateadores de Boston le pegaron 11 fouls. En su última salida, en el séptimo juego de la Serie de la Liga Nacional, los Cerveceros de Milwaukee le pegaron 13 fouls en 4.2 entradas.

En los primeros cuatro innings obligó a los Medias Rojas a pegar 20 fouls y después de siete entradas su recta de cuatro costuras estaba promediando 97.9 millas por hora, lo más veloz de todo el año para Buehler y lo segundo más rápido para un abridor en la actual postemporada, solamente detrás de Eovaldi, cuya recta promedió 98.8 MPH en el juego 3 de la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana y 98.5 MPH en el tercer encuentro de la Serie Divisional.

Buehler realizó seis lanzamientos de 100 millas por hora. Su lanzamiento 107 fue a 99 millas por hora y el 108 y final de la noche, fue una bola rápida de 98 MPH para ponchar al peligroso jardinero cubano J.D. Martínez, quien recibió el premio Hank Aaron de la Liga Americana antes de que comenzara el partido.

El juego estuvo en blanco hasta que el jardinero Joc Pederson bateó jonrón solitario con dos outs en el cierre de la tercera entrada contra Porcello. Fue el cuarto jonrón de Serie Mundial para Pederson y el primer hit de los Dodgers desde un sencillo del cubano Yasiel Puig en la cuarta entrada del segundo juego, el miércoles en Fenway Park, cuando los pitchers de Boston retiraron a los últimos 16 bateadores.

Porcello estaba lanzando en gran forma, pero el manager Alex Cora lo retiró del juego con dos outs en la quinta entrada, cuando Pederson asomó al plato. El derecho permitió una carrera y tres hits, otorgó un boleto libre y ponchó a cinco.

Con dos outs y las bases limpias en el octavo episodio, Bradley, el Jugador Más Valioso de la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana, bateó cuadrangular por el jardín derecho, su tercero de la postemporada, todos después de dos outs. Fue la carrera número 37 (de 69) que Boston anota después de dos outs en la actual postemporada.

Jansen lanzó dos entradas de una carrera y su contraparte en Boston, Kimbrel, sacó un out de oro en el cierre del noveno y luego tres más en el décimo. Con el partido empatado 1-1, dos outs y un corredor en primera base, Kimbrel sustituyó al zurdo David Price y aunque transfirió a Chris Taylor, dominó a Brian Dozier con elevado al receptor para apagar la amenaza de los locales en la novena.

Boston tuvo una gran oportunidad en el décimo contra el derecho dominicano Pedro Báez. Martínez recibió boleto (entró Ian Kinsler a correr) y Brock Holt bateó sencillo para mandar al corredor a tercera base. El dominicano Núñez entró a batear de emergente por su compatriota Rafael Devers y bateó elevado al jardín central. Cuando Kinsler se desprendió hacia el plato, Bellinger lanzó un potente disparo para eliminar la potencial carrera de la ventaja para los visitantes.

Entrando al partido del viernes, los Medias Rojas tenían foja de 5-0 y habían sobre anotado 40-13 a sus oponentes en la carretera en la postemporada. Solamente otros seis clubes han ganado cinco juegos consecutivos en la carretera, incluyendo Kansas City del 2014. Los únicos mejores fueron los Yankees de 1996 (8-0) y los Medias Blancas del 2005 (6-0)

ANÁLISIS POSTEMPORADA 2018

Miguel Antonio Parrodi Espinosa

LIGA AMERICANA

En la Liga Americana, la temporada regular fue dominada totalmente por 5 equipos. Meses antes de concluir el calendario era un hecho que los Medias Rojas, los Yanquis, los Indios, los Astros y los Atléticos jugarían en octubre.

En el juego de comodines los Yanquis superaron con facilidad a los Atléticos ganando el derecho de jugar la serie divisional contra sus archirrivales los Medias Rojas de Boston. A pesar de contar con el mejor record de las mayores, el camino de los patirrojos hacia la Serie Mundial, no parece sencillo, primero tienen que vencer a los Mulos de Manhattan, quizás el equipo más incomodo, dada su ofensiva explosiva. La serie pronostico se ira a los 5 juegos y se decidirá, gracias a sus lanzadores en favor de Boston.

Los Astros de Houston no tendrán problemas en eliminar a los Indios de Cleveland, que a mi parecer es el conjunto más flojo de los que participan en las series divisionales del nuevo circuito.

Lo anterior, nos llevaría a tener una Serie de Campeonato entre los Astros y los Medias Rojas. La lucha será durísima y regalará a los aficionados del rey de los deportes una serie de siete juegos para la posteridad. La mayor experiencia de los Astros, una rotación más profunda, la presencia de José Altuve y Justin Verlander permitirán que Houston regrese a la Serie Mundial.

LIGA NACIONAL

El nuevo circuito no contó con equipos tan dominantes como la Liga Americana, no obstante nos regaló una temporada regular muy competida, tan es así que las divisiones central y oeste requirieron de un juego 163 para definir al campeón.

Contario a lo que se esperaba, las series divisionales han sido totalmente dominadas por Milwaukee y Los Ángeles y es muy probable que se decidan en menos de cuatro juegos.

En la Serie de Campeonato entre Dodgers  y Cerveceros, el equipo de Los Ángeles, se impondrá. Lideraron la liga en jonrones, una extraordinaria campaña del novato Walker Buehler les da el tan anhelado brazo derecho en la rotación, el resurgimiento del coreano de Hyun Jin Ryu les da profundidad y el contar con el mejor pitcher del presente milenio, Clayton Kershaw, los llevará a su segundo Clásico de Otoño consecutivo.

La Serie Mundial se disputará entre Dodgers y Astros, será un clásico de otoño dominado por los lanzadores abridores. La clave para Los Ángeles es Kenley Jansen, el de Curazao deberá retomar el nivel de temporadas pasadas, de lo contrario, Dodgers será vulnerable después de la séptima entrada. Para repetir el campeonato, Houston deberá batear más y no depender exclusivamente de Altuve, Bregman y Springer.

Mi pronóstico: Clayton Kershaw finalmente se quitará el estigma de no poder lanzar en octubre y vencerá en un séptimo juego a Justin Verlander y los Astros. Dodgers ganará por primera vez la Serie Mundial en treinta años.

Owners say new house is a disaster; developer accuses them of ‘online terrorism’

Timothy and Hyun Kim of St. Petersburg pose outside of their new home, which has multiple construction defects and code violations. The couple wanto move from the house, which has

ST. PETERSBURG — Stretched across the front of Tim and Hyun Kims’ two-year-old house is a big banner with the name of a developer and the words:

"I have to fix my new house."

Some of what needs fixing is instantly apparent. The front steps are too narrow and too steep. Handrails are missing. A big crack has appeared on the porch ceiling.

That’s not all. An engineering firm said the house is so rife with construction defects and code violations that it would be better to tear it down instead of trying to fix the problems.

Ever since they moved in 15 months ago, the Kims have been battling with James Landers and his Aspen Venture Group, a company that specializes in "urban infill" projects in St. Petersburg and Tampa. During the last boom, Landers developed townhome communities on both sides of the bay. Now he is concentrating on single family homes in St. Petersburg that cost as much as $2.7 million.

Landers accuses the Kims of relentless "cyber-bullying" that includes YouTube videos and scathing reviews on the website Ripoff Report.

"It is nothing short of online terrorism where they are using this issue to extort our business," Landers said. "We have bent over backwards to handle any legitimate issues they bring up and they refuse."

RELATED COVERAGE: Trendy downtown St. Pete townhome project scrapped, permitting delays blamed

The Kims say they had to resort to such tactics because Landers and his general contractor have refused to fix anything but minor problems. They also say they have gotten no help from the city of St. Petersburg even though the city’s building official toured the house in December and acknowledged code and workmanship issues.

Why didn’t city officials catch the problems before issuing a certificate of occupancy? That’s because no city inspectors ever checked the property — and under a provision of state law they didn’t have to.

***

Now 48, Landers is among the developers who survived the housing crash though not without some hits to his finances and business reputation.

In 2007, owners of Tampa’s DeLeon Townhomes sued Landers, two of his companies and a contractor, alleging that improperly installed trusses had caused the floors to sag.

"It was not catastrophic but noticeable enough to affect the real estate values," said attorney Edward Kuchinski, who represented the owners and won a jury award for repair costs.

In 2009, Landers was among those sued by 20 owners in South Tampa’s Villas of Horatio. Due to faulty construction techniques, the townhomes had suffered a "pervasive amount of water intrusion," attorney Steve Walker said. A settlement was reached just as a jury was about to hear the case.

There was other litigation. In 2011, Community Bank of Manatee won a $68,275 judgment against Landers and his High Point Development LLC. In 2012, the lender for a townhome project in Carrollwood won a $2 million deficiency judgment against Landers, among others.

Three years ago, with Tampa Bay’s housing market well on the way to recovery, Landers started Aspen Venture Group in St. Petersburg. Aspen signs began popping up at construction sites in upscale areas like Snell Isle and the Old Northeast.

In 2016, Landers caused a buzz when he announced plans for 35 high-end yet affordable townhomes in the city’s trendy Edge District. But he angered buyers when he abruptly scrapped the project last summer, blaming permitting delays and rising costs. A smaller townhome project in which he was involved — four New York-style brownstones in downtown St. Petersburg — never got out of the ground either.

The Kims knew nothing about Landers’ background in early 2016 when they contracted with his HCI 301 LLC to buy a two-story house it was building in northeast St. Petersburg. But they had looked around and decided "we liked the aesthetics of Aspen homes," Tim Kim said.

Work on the house continued beyond what the couple thought was supposed to be the August 2016 completion date. That December, Hyun Kim emailed Landers.

"Obviously ball dropped on our end," he replied. "No excuses on the delays. We have failed in this area for sure. We had several unforeseen events hit us all at the same time that have had a huge impact."

In January 2017, the Kims closed on the house for $445,476 and decided to move in although the rear deck was not finished. At first, the main problem they noticed was the interior paint. In several areas, it was peeling off in long, rubbery strips.

"The paint got us distracted from all the other stuff," Tim says.

Both he and his wife work at home — he does product branding, she’s a global team leader for a tech company — and the more time they spent in the house, the more "stuff" they found. Cracks in the walls. Kitchen sink not attached to the counter. Problems with the AC, including no central air vent in the bonus room.

Last April, they put up the banner.

"Nice banner d—-head," Alan Hudson, the general contractor, emailed Tim Kim.

Workers began to fix some of the issues, among them adding a railing to an interior stairway although they glued rather than screwed it to the wall, the Kims say. They continued to find problems.

Last August, in an email referring to the banner, Landers asked the couple to take down "your slanderous sign." He suggested three options: Remove the banner, litigate the issues in court or accept his offer to buy back the house and "go our separate ways."

The Kims said they turned down the offer — which Landers says he made three times — because home prices had risen so much they didn’t think they could get anything comparable in size and location. They hired a home inspector that documented dozens of problems including exposed wiring, stairs not to code and windows that weren’t impact resistant.

It was not until last fall, during correspondence with city staffers, that the Kims discovered the city never inspected the house before issuing the certificate of occupancy.

Under state law, so-called "private providers" can handle inspections as long as the local government allows the practice. It is fairly common in cities like St. Petersburg where city inspectors are stretched thin because of so much new construction.

Landers hired a private provider firm headed by architect Peter Goldhammer, who has had issues of his own. In 2006, the Florida Board of Architecture reprimanded him and fined him $2,000 for signing and sealing plans that were not his own and that referenced an outdated building code. Two years ago, he paid a St. Petersburg church $5,000 after botching plans he drew up for a renovation.

To do the actual inspection of the Kims’ house, Goldhammer hired inspector John Walker, who approved all of the work. Walker could not be reached for comment.

"I don’t want to talk about that now, I’m sorry," Goldhammer told a reporter and hung up.

**

A few days before last Christmas, city planning director Dave Goodwin and building official Rick Dunn visited the Kims’ home.

"Regarding this house, there were a lot of workmanship issues but a few code issues also that we discussed," Dunn said. Although the Kims are legally are responsible for code violations now, the city didn’t take any action because of possible litigation between them and Landers.

In February, the couple hired an engineering firm that chronicled yet more problems and concluded: "We are of the opinion that this property should be rebuilt instead of remediated."

Now, things are at a standstill. Landers says the Kims won’t let his workers back in the house, are harassing some of his clients and attempting to extort a "ridiculous amount of money" from him.

The Kims say they only want fair market value for the house plus closing costs, moving expenses and reimbursement for the money they’ve spent on repairs.

"We would give back the house," Hyun Kim said. "We are emotionally exhausted and don’t want the house anymore."

They have no intention of taking down their banner, which they say has prompted other people to come forward with complaints about Aspen. Attorney Lee Rightymer said one of his clients cancelled a contract for a house with a Landers-related company though it was on "amicable" terms. Diane Leaghty, who bought an Aspen townhome in the Old Northeast last year, said the project was marked by delays, poor communication and unfinished items.

"I’m not happy with the experience I had with the Aspen Group," she said.

Dunn, the building officials, says he too has heard complaints.

"There seems to be a challenge on some of those Aspen projects, not building code issues as much as in some cases poor workmanship," he said. "That’s an issue for the owner and the contractor to work out."
