most productive quarterbacks, at least when it comes t

SAN DIEGO -- Shortly after Yoan Moncada hit a go-ahead, two-run home run for the World in the All-Star Futures Game, the Boston Red Sox farmhand found out that the Hall of Fame requested his bat to put on display.I feel really excited and really happy that they really want my bat. But its really emotional as well, Moncada said through a translator after the World rallied to beat the United States 11-3 on Sunday.He no doubt was going to share that with his parents in Cuba.I hope my parents could watch the game, he said. If they could, that would excite me a lot. They are not here with me. I miss them. If they werent able to watch the game, anyway Ill call them tonight. I cant send them a video, because you are not able to download videos with the Cuban infrastructure.The World team snapped a six-game losing streak in the showcase of top minor league talent.With Raimel Tapia of the Rockies aboard on an error, Moncada, a Cuban who plays for Double-A Portland, hit a line shot to left off Anthony Banda of the Diamondbacks for a 4-3 lead.Moncada was named Futures Game MVP. The Red Sox agreed to give Moncada a $31.5 million signing bonus -- with a $31.5 million tax imposed by baseballs labor contract -- in March 2015, the highest amount for an international amateur. Cuban authorities allowed him to leave in 2014.I am very proud and happy to be here, he said. I didnt imagine I could have such an outstanding performance, but everything went just well. I was the MVP and I dedicate this to my parents.Cubs prospect Eloy Jimenez had a big game as well. His three-run homer to left highlighted the seven-run ninth. He also doubled in the Worlds first run, in the sixth, and made a spectacular catch of Dylan Cozens long foul ball against a fence near the right-field stands to end the seventh.Jimenez jumped to make the catch and then ran into the fence, doubling over. His sunglasses flew off.I really did not think a lot before attempting that catch, he said. First I saw the fly was going wide. `Im not going to catch that, I said. But I kept running, and then I just jumped. I hit my leg, but the most important thing was to get that out.Padres farmhand Manuel Margot of the World team reached above the fence in right-center to rob Carson Kelly (Cardinals) of a home run in the sixth.I definitely rank it as the best in my career. First impressions are everything, and if the fans have a good first impression of me, hopefully I can keep it up, Margot said. Its little things like that that win ballgames. If the little things arent done, then ultimately youre not going to win the game.World manager Moises Alou, a special assistant in the Padres player development department, won a dinner bet with his U.S. counterpart, former Padres All-Star closer Trevor Hoffman.Alou said hes going to frame the lineup.When I look at that lineup in my house in a couple of years, he said, there are going to be a lot of guys playing in the All-Star Game, I guarantee you that.For the U.S. team, Chance Sisco homered and Alex Bregman finished a home run shy of the cycle.Sisco, who plays for the Baltimore Orioles Double-A affiliate Bowie, homered to left-center off Francisco Rios of the Blue Jays high Class A Dunedin to give the United States a 3-0 lead with one out in the fourth inning. Sisco has one homer in 251 at-bats with Bowie.Bregman, of Triple-A Fresno in the Houston system, tripled in the first, doubled and scored in the third and singled in the fourth. He fouled out in the seventh and struck out to end the game.Everyone was, `You got to go for it! You got to go for it! You better be swinging at everything! Bregman said. If I would have walked or if I would have struck out looking, they would have been furious.The World closed the gap to 3-2 in the sixth before Josh Naylor (Marlins) was thrown out by David Dahl (Rockies) trying to score the tying run from second on a single by Carlos Asuaje (Padres) to end the inning.World starter Alex Reyes of Triple-A Memphis (Cardinals) hit 101 mph. He allowed two hits in 1 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out four and walking one.Joe Musgrove (Astros), who pitched for Grossmont High in suburban El Cajon, threw a perfect first inning for the United States.The teams wore jerseys in the mustard and mud color scheme the Padres used in the 1980s.Hoffmans staff was heavy with ex-Padres, including Fred McGriff, Garry Templeton, Billy Bean and Mark Loretta, plus San Diegan and former big leaguer Mark Prior, the Padres minor league pitching coordinator. Kevin Johnson Suns Jersey . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. Leandro Barbosa Suns Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. https://www.thesunslockerroom.com/Penny-Hardaway-City-Edition-Jersey/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Steve Nash Jersey . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Isaiah Canaan Jersey . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. By the time Tennessee and Missouri begin play Saturday afternoon, the Volunteers will probably have a keen sense for how another SEC game of material importance, being played 565 miles away, might turn out.Florida and LSU are scheduled to kick off in Baton Rouge a good 2 1/2 hours before the Vols (7-3, 3-3 SEC) and Mizzou (3-7, 1-5 SEC) kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.The Vols have a vested interest in the outcome of the LSU-Florida redo -- shifted on the calendar and from Gainesville -- affair because they need the Gators to lose their conference finale to have a shot at gaining a share of the East Division title and a berth in the SEC Championship Game.But Vols coach Butch Jones said players wont be scoreboard watching when they take on Mizzou.In terms of scoreboard watching, we dont ever look up at the scoreboard, Jones said. Thats kind of our mindset. You just keep your head down and you keep playing.His players need to be concerned only with things they can control, he said.Thats out of our hands, he said of the Florida-LSU game. Were playing a very team thats coming in here with a lot of momentum, very, very explosive, and its going to take all of our focus and concentration on playing Missouri.With their win last week over Kentucky, the Vols got back to .500 in conference play and now need wins over Mizzou and Vanderbilt their next two games to finish 5-3 in the conference. If the Gators lose at LSU, they also would end up 5-3, and the Vols hold the tiebreaker to get to the title game, where they would face No. 1 Alabama. The unbeaten Crimson Tide already has clinched the West.The Vols go into their final home game unranked in the media and coaches polls after once reaching as high as No. 9 in the country. But consecutive losses to Texas A&M, Alabama, and South Carolina knocked them out of the Top 25. They are No. 19 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings but were among teams also receiving votes in this weeks media and coaches polls.Their unranked status doesnt bother Jones.Thatss one of those things that we cant control, he said.dddddddddddd The only way we can control it is to keep winning.I am proud of this football team and everything that it has accomplished. Weve played the most difficult schedule, No. 1 in the country, and were 7-3. Were playing meaningful games in November, and thats what its all about.Injuries have had a major impact on the Vols. Jones noted that the Vols have lost five defensive starters since the season began and have started eight different combinations in the secondary.Its pretty hard to be consistent when you have that and when you look at the number of players who have missed games, Jone said. I dont know if there as ever been a season like this in football.The game against Missouri will feature a matchup of two of the leagues most productive quarterbacks, at least when it comes to producing touchdowns.Tennessees Josh Dobbs and Missouris Drew Lock are tied for the most touchdown passes among SEC quarterbacks with 21 each. Dobbs, however, also has rushed for seven scores to no rushing touchdowns for Lock.Dobbs, in fact, is a major factor in Tennessees running game, especially since veteran running back Jalen Hurd left the Vols after seven games. Dobbs is the Vols leading rusher with 470 yards and is coming off a 147-yard rushing effort against Kentucky.Missouri, which snapped a five-game losing streak with its win over Vanderbilt last week, gets its ground yardage the usual way. Running backs Damarea Crockett and Ish Witter have rushed for 837 and 575 yards, respectively. Crockett is coming off a 150-yard effort against the Commodores.We blocked well from the point of attack and Damarea, for a freshman, hes gotten better every week, first-year coach Barry Odom said. He works that way in practice.Im excited to see him throughout the week the way that he practices, handles himself, and then prepares the right way. Hes got a bright future. ' ' '
