Miami Dolphins: With Tannehill Down Who's The Next Man Up?

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill reinjured his left knee in a non-contact injury in training camp Thursday. There are many options noting that there was no structural damage to the knee. He could undergo full reconstructive ACL surgery which would end his season or do 6 weeks of rehab and be back on the field by Week 2-3 of the regular season. Tannehill is getting a second opinion on his injury.

But now the main question is who steps in at starting QB. Next up on the depth chart is Matt Moore but did not have good outings last year filling in for Tannehill. Head Coach Adam Gase did state "Right now, Matt is our quarterback." But other options are retired QB Jay Cutler who worked with Adam Gase in Chicago or Former 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick as Adam Gase almost took the 49ers coaching job.

Orlando City SC vs Atlanta United FC

The 2 new MLS teams are going to face off for the first time in franchise history. This could also be the start of a rivalry as the trash talk has been all over between the 2 teams. Atlanta United put up a bilboard in Downtown Orlando saying that they are coming to conquer. You will see a picture of the bilboard below. Also an Atlanta fan commented that they should think of it as PULSE 2 as if you don't know there was a terrorist attack at the PULSE night club in Orlando. There will be high security and there will be a seperation of fans from both teams at the game. Both teams have told their fan bases that violence is unnecesary. Also Orlando City SC superstar Cyle Larin has been cleared for the game after his DUI charge earlier this month. I personally am very excited for this matchup tonight and that it should be a great boost for the MLS in popularity.

Miami Marlins Walkoff Victory

The Miami Marlins found themselves in a 6-0 hole against the NL East leading Washington Nationals. They then score 2 runs followed up by a Justin Bour grand slam to tie the game at 6 the Marlins go on to win it 8-7 in the bottom of the 9th. The Marlins are a team struggling right now but have a 10 game homestand that they started off on the right foot with the win last night. If the Marlins can go at least 7-3 on this homestand they should be in good shape in the wild card race. Many of the Marlins players are all star game worthy coming in clutch alot this year. The Marlins are in 3rd place in the NL East after a Mets loss and a Braves victory but the Marlins are starting to make a push for first behind those Washington Nationals. Should be a good one tonight that you don't want to miss between the Marlins and the Nationals.

NBA Finals

Well... Once again in the NBA Finals for the 3rd straight year we have Cavs vs Warriors. But I believe there's something just a bit different about this one and no it's not Kevin Durant or Warriors getting revenge. It is that most people are calling the Cavs the underdogs because they were not "battle tested" during the playoffs. But you know what America the Cavs weren't "battle tested" last year either and they were in a 3-1 hole and came back to win it all. You can never count out Lebron James the king himself just recently passed the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan for most career playoff points and I believe he is better then MJ. But if you look at this matchup on paper Cavs will obviously win because you have Kyrie vs Curry at PG and if you look at all the position battle Cavs are obvious winners that is why I believe the Clevland Cavs will repeat as this year's champs.

Miami Marlins Injuries

The Miami Marlins have had multiple infield injuries lately causing a 3 game slump and yet another lead lost in a game last night to the St Louis Cardinals. The Marlins top two shortstops Adeiny Hechavarria and Miguel Rojas were put on the DL this week. These injuries have caused the Marlins to go to Triple-A and pick up SS Steve Lombardozzi from New Orleans. Manager Don Mattingly says "You're going to see (injuries) come in bunches, but not come like this," The Marlins need a win as they start up a home series to the struggling Atlanta Braves and could be a confidence boost as they go through this home stand.

Also Marlins prospect J.T. Riddle was scheduled to play on Wednesday but bruised the tip oh his right index finger during early fielding drills.

This is all I have for you today and thank you for your support

Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson Compare and Contrast

Hello evryone I'm sorry I have not been able to do a blog in a while but I'm here today to give you my thoughts on this years draft QB class.

I'm going to start with QB Mitchell Trubisky out of UNC. I believe he is the most NFL ready QB in this draft class. With 13 starts at UNC he threw for 17TD's and 0INT's in the red zone comparing to Dak Prescott and Andrew Luck. The odds are for him in that case and he is in my opinion the QB with the best decision making out of this Draft Class.
The 2nd QB I'm going to talk about is Deshaun Watson out of Clemson University. Deshaun had the best conversion % in 3rd down 10 yards or more which could really help the Browns since they obviously don't know what a first down is sorry to the Clevland fans about that just putting some humor into my blogs. But the man is a QB that threw 10+ INT's last season in college which could get worse in the NFL.

Comparasion:
The 2 QB's both have a good pocket pressence and could help them in the NFL I don't see any of them making a Week 1 start but should eventually start in their first season with the proper training.

Tampa Bay Rays First 5 Games

The Tampa Bay Rays have started the season off a good 3-2 with lots of baseball to be played. I am going to start off with Logan Morrison who has a good season so far swinging the bat like crazy. This is a team with potential and can go far if they can get consistency from their bullpen. The Tampa Bay Rays have arguably the best starting rotation in baseball. But they are indeed stuck in the hardest division in baseball in the AL East. If the Rays would get some bullpen help this is no doubt about it the best team in baseball. The Red Sox still have to fill big shoes with the loss of Big Papi and the Orioles don't have a starting rotation to match the bats in the division. The Yankees youngsters have not shown themselves in the big leagues with nothing impressive as it is a young team with lack of experience. I see the Blue Jays the only team that can batlle with the Blue Jays because their bats can beat up the bullpen gets in the game. Though it's not just the bullpen the Rays young ace Blake Snell had a rough outing a couple nights ago giving up a grand slam to Kendrys Morales. All the teams in the AL East I believe is one step away from being a contender so watch the teams in this division as it could be a bumpy ride all year long.
