导出博客文章YOKOHAMA, Japan -- Sergio Ramos is set to return for Real Madrid in the Club
World Cup final.The Spain international wasnt fully fit for Thursdays 2-0
semifinal win over Club America of Mexico, but has declared himself ready for
Sundays clash against Japanese champion Kashima Antlers.Today my condition is
very good, Ramos said Saturday. I had a full session with the other players
today so if the coach needs me I would like to play tomorrow.Madrid coach
Zinedine Zidane made clear the 30-year-old Ramos is in his plans.Yes, he is our
captain and his condition is getting better, the former France great said.He was
able to participate in the training today, therefore yes, he should be in the
team tomorrow, no problem. I hope that he will be able to play the full
game.Ramos scored a 92nd-minute winner in the 3-2 victory over Deportivo La
Coruna in the Spanish league on Dec. 10 and a 90th-minute equalizer in the 1-1
draw with Barcelona a week earlier.But Ramos is hoping that no late heroics will
be needed on Sunday.Of course if I can score a goal I will be very happy, but I
dont want to wait until the last minute like in previous matches, he said. I
would like to become a champion, that is all.Ramos opened the scoring when
Madrid won the 2014 Club World Cup title, beating San Lorenzo of Argentina
2-0.Madrid is unbeaten in any competition since April 6, a run which has
stretched to 36 matches.Kashima is the first Asian side to progress to the
final, and coach Masatada Ishii is looking forward to his teams big day.For me,
participating in the final has a very special and significant meaning, the
49-year-old Ishii said.Regardless of who we are playing against, advancing to
the final is a very big thing to motivate my players. The final is a very
special match so Im sure my players are excited.

looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.
Nike Sb Soldes . -- For the first time
in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.
Chaussure Nike Sb Pas Cher . "It doesnt
get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring
toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the
ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on
Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card
race. OXON HILL, Md. -- Ned Yost enjoyed watching the Cleveland Indians
lights-out bullpen go to work in the playoffs because it was so familiar.It was
amazing to see -- to watch games and kind of understand the feeling that other
teams had against us, the Kansas City Royals manager said.Like the Royals on the
way to the World Series in 2015, the Indians mixed and matched relievers,
leaning on Andrew Miller for multiple innings in different spots and turning to
Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw in big situations. And while the Chicago Cubs even
kept closer Aroldis Chapman in longer than usual on the way to the title,
managers dont expect the 2016 postseason to change the way bullpens are
managed.The postseason management of the bullpen is extremely different than the
regular season management, incoming Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said
Monday. But what does work (is) if you have those types of relievers that have
multi-inning performance, who can throw parts of innings and continue, thats
very valuable.Miller pitched two innings or more in seven appearances, and
Chapman went 2 2/3 in Game 5 of the World Series -- mostly out of necessity.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona conceded at the time he wouldnt be able to use
Miller like that during the regular season.Terry is right: You cant do that
during the regular season, youre going to blow somebody out, Yost said. But in
the playoffs, its a lot easier to do. You got to understand, Andrew Miller,
these guys dont grow on trees. They are few and far in between, guys that are
that durable that can pitch like he did, especially down the stretch.Millers
example isnt changing how teams approach the offseason, either. Boston Red Sox
general manager Dave Dombrowski said his priority was getting an eighth-inning
guy, filling a specific role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel, and did so by
acquiring right-hander Tyler Thornburg from the Milwaukee Brewers.Manager John
Farrell considers it important to define roles over 162 games.If you look at our
usage over our last couple of years the one thing that we have had is that one
guy other than the closer where weve used (him) at the highest-leverage point in
the seventh or eighth inning, Farrell said. Ideally, yeah, you can give the
seventh, eighth and ninth inning to three different relievers and let it run out
regardless of where you are in the lineup and what the score is on the winning
side. I think our main goal is to identify a guy that its not so much a matchup
situation.Franconas theoryy -- an evolving one around baseball -- is that the
three biggest outs arent always the final ones.dddddddddddd Theres still value
in closing, but if the heart of the order is up in the seventh, eighth or even
the sixth inning, that could be the spot for a team to use its best
reliever.While playing bullpen bingo became popular in the postseason,
Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin doesnt think its practical during the regular
season. It just requires depth and talent, which the Phillies now have more of
after signing Joaquin Benoit.The deeper you are in a bullpen the easier it is to
go to a real good stopper type pitcher in the sixth or seventh or fifth inning
like they were able to do in the World Series, Mackanin said Tuesday. Over the
course of a six-month season certainly its harder to do, but the deeper you are
in the bullpen the easier it is.Stacking a bullpen with two or three closer
types like the Indians gives them a leg up in employing that strategy.I think
what teams are trying to do or what successful teams have done have had a
seventh- or eighth- or ninth-inning guy, and all three of them can pitch in the
ninth inning, Yost said. All three of them can close. When you have that, man,
thats a huge advantage late in the game.Even though the new MLB collective
bargaining agreement didnt include the addition of a 26th player to rosters, New
York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said theres a trend toward using more
bullpen arms. Phillies GM Matt Klentak thinks more off days built into the
schedule will help teams if they want to lean more on top relievers, who have
more value thanks to the lessons of recent postseasons.As an industry, were
appreciating the value that those players can bring, Klentak said, a day after
the Giants gave closer Mark Melancon a $62 million, four-year deal, the richest
ever for a reliever. During the postseason, as we watched the games and we saw
these managers using their elite arms in the higher leverage situation but in
earlier innings, we talked a lot internally in the office about whether we
thought that was something that might become more mainstream during the regular
season. ...I think the fact that some teams had some success with that in
October would lead us to think that a lot of managers will probably try
that.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum and Sports Writer Howard Fendrich
