Any connoisseur of 21st century prestige dramas about difficult boss men will recognize Vinyl's calculus immediately: mercurial figurehead, put-upon right-hand man (a sensitive, wry Ray Romano in this case), struggling female upstart who longs to break out of coffee runs and into the big leagues.

Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez had to learn how to manage a lot of money from a young age: He went straight from high school to the big leagues and signed a three-year, $1.3-million contract with the Seattle Mariners after being drafted in 1993.

McCarthy has been out injured with tendinitis of the knee since June, and has been trying to work his way back to the big leagues, but Braves manager Brian Snitker said there just wasn't enough time to get him in shape, so he's done for the year.

One of this year's semifinalists, Ajax Amsterdam, a pedigreed team from a respected league, was considered a plucky underdog in the Champions League; in a competition increasingly dominated by rich clubs from big leagues, Ajax, by comparison, was neither very rich nor its league very big.

If you look at my baseball career, on the back of my bubble gum card (or in today's terms, on my Baseball Reference web page), you see years, statistics and stops: Geneva, Winston-Salem, Daytona, Orlando, Des Moines and then, finally, the big leagues (Chicago, Philadelphia, Texas).

"One quite plausible possibility is we end up with a re-run of the Lord Pearson experience: a year or two of messy and incoherent leadership under a figure not cut out for the big leagues, then Farage comes back," suggests Robert Ford, a UKIP expert at Manchester University.

Hell, Eddie Alvarez came into the UFC as "a Bellator guy," had the usual "well, I guess he's in the big leagues now" moment with a loss to Donald Cerrone in his debut, then went on to starch the incredible Rafael dos Anjos and take the UFC lightweight title.

And if there comes a time where these guys who have been in the big leagues for a long time feel like it's something that they have to do, and they can recognize that feeling when it's happening and move away from it, well, more power to them.

"What happens is when you get to the minor leagues, there's the old-school methods that a guy's got to play one position in order to get his game together and eventually achieve the big leagues, and if you move him around, it could retard his development," Maddon said.

It was only when Springer was called up to the big leagues for the first time, in April 2379, that he learned to accept himself, adopted new techniques to help with his speech and later became a spokesman and fund-raiser for the Stuttering Association for the Young.

Brewers pound Mets, Harvey MILWAUKEE — Eric Sogard spent all of the 103 season on the sidelines, rehabbing from surgery on his left knee so when he finally got his call back to the big leagues Friday with the Milwaukee Brewers, he certainly made the most of his opportunity.

"Once in a while, you've got to have some patience and you've got to bite the bullet and give them a little chance to get a sense of what it takes to pitch in the big leagues, as we've done with others in the past," Mets manager Terry Collins said.

The AR experiment starts simply enough, with an 8-bit whack-a-mole game, but after that, it's time to move Cooper up to the big leagues, and the team lets him play a new horror game that custom generates its terrors based upon the player's own internal thoughts and fears.
|
|
That strategy has at least somewhat paid off, with several pitchers taken after the fifth round proving able to fill spots, at least temporarily, in the Yankees' bullpen: Branden Pinder, James Pazos, Nick Goody and Nick Rumbelow have all been drafted since 2011 and reached the big leagues with the Yankees.

Both Jones and Young deserve to fight in the big leagues and make the big money, but the road to glory for an amateur is a long one, beset on all sides by financial and self-marketing hurdles, not to mention the labyrinthine world of combat sport associations and private promotions.

He's a great coach, and usually I like to back great coaches with extra time to prepare, but with so many NFL coaching vacancies set to be filled in the coming days, I have a feeling Rhule might be a bit distracted by his potential interviews for the big leagues.

"We know we're going to have to protect him a little bit, but at the same time here's a guy that's burst out - he's 20 years old in the big leagues playing a position where you can't hide and we're going to put him out there," Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

While a certain amount of protectionism from other professional leagues around the world remains not only understandable but necessary, lest the big leagues siphon away all their young talent in their insatiable appetite for prospects, the particulars of the posting system between NPB and MLB continue to be exceptionally unfair to players.

Brown, but his first foray into the leading man big-leagues was in the thriller-action film Dracula 2000—a breakthrough that wasn't as titillating as Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise, as contentious as Denzel Washington in Carbon Copy, or as captivating as Russell Means in The Last of the Mohicans.

Ms. Ekimian, a Russian-American who was born in Washington, D.C., and spent many years in Egypt, a self-described "hugger," exudes none of the pretension or anxiety one might expect from a 19-year-old thrust into the big leagues, though designing this dress is not her first higher-profile project.

Scott's suit was one that he had bought especially for the All-Star Game, because that is the way you dress in the big leagues, before and after games, and it did not matter that the nearest N.H.L. franchise was more than 1,000 miles away and that he might have played his last N.H.L. game.

Getting hazed was and is awesome because it marks the fact players have made it to the big leagues, the place we'd all been trying to get to since we were kids; a dreamland where you fly private jets, stay in five-star hotels, and play a kid's game for ludicrous sums of money.

While Republicans had a sufficiently deep bench that 17 people ran for president this year, Democrats do not appear to have as much talent ready for the big leagues — one of the curiosities of the era of President Barack Obama, who ignited rare passion in young voters and political activists when he ran for president in 2008.

That package was centred around Brandon Finnegan—a still-improving young arm who was able to start 30 times for Cincinnati in 2016—and also featured a couple other pitchers (John Lamb, Cody Reed) that were ready to step into the big leagues and be bad, one as a back-end starter and the other as a reliever.

Neither has been able to deliver, for different reasons: Profar last played in the big leagues in 2013, and has been slowed by an unending stream of injuries; Andrus, while now a perfectly serviceable regular, is hardly the star the Rangers thought they were getting when they signed him to an eight-year, $118 million extension three years ago.

Nobody has put more into this competition than Ajax: literally, really, seeing as its campaign started not in the group stages, as Tottenham's did — the good fortune of being part of one of the big leagues, the big television markets that are busy greedily bending the Champions League to their will — but several weeks before they began.

The way Ichiro hit the ground running in '01 with the Seattle Mariners, winning the AL Rookie of the Year and MVP for a team that won 116 regular-season games, it was obvious he belonged in the big leagues, but also that the Japanese game was much stronger than most analysts here gave it credit for.

The dispute initiated with a trade complaint filed by Boeing in April 2017 alleged that Canadian government subsidies were used to harm its business in the US.

But there's at least one more, and it is, if anything, even more telling: The only reason news of this shakeup might come as a surprise to anyone who follows the media world would be that they haven't really thought about CBS News for a long time — at least not as a significant player in the big leagues of national journalism.

But I understood early in my career that, in spite of my high school and college legacy as a middle-of-the-order hitter, I was going to have to be a top defender, good decision maker and speed guy — at the top or bottom of the order — if I was going to survive in the big leagues for more than a moment.

On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested putting off Trump's State of the Union address, a judo move that was "a good place to begin clawing back Congress' power," wrote Joshua Spivak (and also an introduction -- for Trump, and Pelosi's caucus -- "to the big leagues," observed Jen Psaki.) On Thursday, the President parried by blocking a secret trip to Afghanistan by Pelosi and other Congress members.

Craig The Jays will need to see Pompey and Alford healthy first before they can make that determination (and I think it's still probably a little early to be putting Alford in the bigs, since he missed so much development time during his college football career, and really was only promoted to the big leagues because of guys getting injured ahead of him on the depth chart).

Of particular interest were the detonation in September of a possible H-bomb—a huge leap in terms of sheer nuclear kilotonnage—as well as November's maiden voyage of the impressive Hwasong-15 missile, which looks like it could place a warhead anywhere in the US.

Venters's numbers in the minor leagues were pedestrian — even in 2009, the year before he made his major-league debut, he posted a combined 4.42 ERA in 156 ⅔ innings at Double A and Triple A. He made an impression, though, as soon as he appeared in the big leagues, becoming one of baseball's best relievers, and forming part of the O'Flaherty-Venters-Kimbrel three-headed monster at the back of the Braves bullpen.

The video is adorable ... the two look SUPER happy -- and Nancy wrote on social media afterward, "I LOVE YOU and what a great blessing to be able to share the rest of my days with my best friend and the love of my life" Mauricio ain't a star yet -- he's still an up-and-comer in the big leagues ... but he sure knows how to pick out a ring -- check out the INSANE rock!!!

De Blasio will eventually be forced out of the main events and relegated to the undercard in church halls and high school gyms — but if he does his job for the DNC and helps mold their superstars into heroes, the kids will still ask for his autograph as their dads remind them that this was once a man who wrestled in the big leagues, and who went toe to toe with "Pocahontas" Warren and "Sleepy Joe" Biden in the summer of '19.

An article in The New York Times in June chronicled his journey: how he grew enamored of baseball announcing as a boy listening to Vin Scully, the famed Los Angeles Dodgers announcer; how he worked for years in a low-paying job as the voice of the Visalia Rawhide, in the Class A California League; how he is still at it, like dozens of other announcers in the minors, pining against the odds for a rare job in the big leagues.

"He's about as unique a story as you're going to find, and in a way, probably that whole story and everything that goes along with it is probably what's made him who he is and what's allowed him to take this journey and find his way to the big leagues," he told the AP. Despite the feel-good story, the Twins lost to the Yankees 8-2 on Saturday and now face a 0-2 deficit against New York in the best of five series.
