So close. So close to a seventh-inning home run that could have made Game 3 a game. So close to a home run that could have revitalized baseball's best player in this National League Division Series. Ohtani is now one for 14 with seven strikeouts in this best-of-five series, in which the Dodgers' lead was reduced to two games to one after an 8-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

"Ultimately, we just have to have the right mentality going into this week and every week and take [control of] the things that we can control, assess our systems, assess our process, assess all of these things and say, 'What can we improve on? What's working?' Not even what's working, what's efficient, what can we improve on, and really evaluate that and grow."

For Andy Reid's Chiefs, the problem that dogged them throughout last season, even as they reached a third successive Super Bowl, has persisted, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes shackled by an anaemic offense. Kansas City did at least claim a first win of the season last week as they saw off the New York Giants 22-9 on the road, but that success did little to win over the doubters that are growing in number amid the Chiefs' continued struggles.

Stanford has a new quarterback, a completely new receiving corps and a new offense under interim coach Frank Reich, but it has still struggled to score (18.3 points per game, last in the ACC). Then again, San Jose State has been even worse (17.3), which should help the Stanford defense bounce back from its worst performance of the season in last week's 48-20 loss at Virginia.

I thought we would be cleaner than we were. I thought we'd be much cleaner than we were," Campbell said. "And it wasn't as clean, but there again, you're talking about a few plays that were critical. But, like I told the team, these are so correctable. Everything that showed up is so correctable and we will hit it head on.

With the first American League team eliminated from the 2025 postseason, let's take a look at the season that was for the Chicago White Sox, the questions the team must address this winter and the early outlook for next year. After one of the worst seasons in MLB history, what's next for the Rockies? Things that went right The White Sox surpassed their historically low 2024 win total on Aug. 2, which makes the 2025 season an unquestioned step in the right direction.

The Cardinals have maintained this season is primarily about evaluating young players. It felt like a potential make-or-break year for Jordan Walker, in particular. Walker was viewed as an impact bat when he was a prospect. He impressed with a .276/.342/.445 showing with 16 homers as a 21-year-old rookie. That promising debut feels like an increasingly distant memory. Walker regressed to a .201/.253/.366 line in 51 major league games last year.

Argentina came out swinging in the first quarter, starting the game on an 11-0 run over the first four minutes. Meanwhile, it was a discombobulated, disjointed mess from the SMNT, especially on the offensive end as they didn't record a single FG in the first eight minutes of the game, missing their first eight attempts and turning it over three times.

I don't think, until we get some of these other pieces back, we're going to know exactly what we are.

Training camp has seen the New York Jets struggle offensively, with quarterback Justin Fields facing challenges in holding the ball too long and reading defenses.

Ben Johnson recognized that the Bears' offense underperformed during practice, stating that it was "sloppier than we were hoping it would be at this point," indicating unmet expectations.

The Red Sox's recent 2-4 road trip highlighted offensive struggles, as they scored two runs or less in every loss, despite good performances from starters.

Kevin Gausman struggled on the mound, going 5 innings while allowing 4 runs, 3 earned. Defensive miscues also contributed to the team's loss.

I signed here being told that I was going to be the starting everyday left fielder. That's why I came here.
