The Texas Rangers are struggling in May due to poor offensive production, especially from key veterans Semien and Garcia, prompting discussions about lineup changes, potential benching, or platoon adjustments to improve team performance.
The Virginia Cavaliers secured a 67-41 victory over Holy Cross, marking a strong performance by players Andrew Rohde and Dai Dai Ames, who have been key offensive contributors this season. Despite the win, concerns remain about the team's frontcourt shooting and floor spacing. The Cavaliers are encouraged to give more playing time to freshmen Ishan Sharma and Anthony Robinson in less competitive games. Upcoming matches against Florida and SMU will test Virginia's progress. Additionally, the team's new throwback uniforms have been well-received by fans.
The 2024 NFL season has highlighted a market inefficiency with veteran running backs, who, despite being undervalued and let go by their former teams, have excelled with new teams. Players like Derrick Henry, Joe Mixon, and Saquon Barkley have proven their worth, showcasing that the running back market lags behind other positions like wide receivers and quarterbacks in terms of pay. This inefficiency has been exploited by teams like the Ravens and Eagles, who have benefited from acquiring these productive players at a bargain.
