At age 21, he had scored four goals in roughly 1,100 minutes in the Scottish Championship the previous season and was out of contract before coming to MLS.But Nicholson represented the first of what has become many new attacking players United has brought in midseason. It’s become an annual rite of passage to enhance — and sometimes resuscitate — the club’s goal-scoring punch.

Jack's bounceback: Flaherty making strides after early-season woes

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:59:15 GMT

ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals are getting some key contributions from an important rotation piece at a time it's been hard to come by wins. Jack Flaherty fired six scoreless innings against a high-octane Texas Rangers offense on Wednesday, paving St. Louis to a 1-0 victory to close out a tough roadtrip. Flaherty didn't end up with the victory, but earned his third quality start in five games. Those last five games embody the best stretch of Flaherty's 2023 campaign. In that stretch, he's covered 30 innings, held opponents to just five runs and averaged around seven strikeouts per game. The Cardinals won in four of those five starts. RELATED - Revisting Mike Shildt’s comments on his Cardinals departure The 2023 season is a critical one for Flaherty in many ways. The 27-year-old could become a free agent next season, and big results could be essential in shaping his next contract, whether with St. Louis or elsewhere. As of now, it's also shaping to be his first largely-health...

Now?If the Nuggets gotta step on MPJ’s ego in order to reach the summit, so be it.The best move Denver coach Michael Malone made in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was shortening Porter’s window while extending the Nuggets’ rotation. When The Christian Braun Express rolls in from out of nowhere with that much smoke, you ride that puppy ‘til the coal runs out.“I loved our energy, our effort, our urgency, our discipline,” Malone said after the Nuggets nabbed a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. “I thought we were where we needed to be (Wednesday). We’ll have to be even better come Friday evening.”And if MPJ doesn’t want to keep getting thrown under the bus, he’s got to get his dang head out of the ditch. If Porter wants to be a factor in Game 4 Friday night at the Kaseya Center, that’s not on Malone. That’s on MPJ.Port...
