Youth Logan Paulsen Jersey

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Nick Foles had no problem filling in for second-year star Carson Wentz Authentic Devin Hester Jersey , who tore is ACL late in the season and had to miss the final stretch and the playoffs.Foles embarked on a playoff run for the ages, helping the Eagles dethrone the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round, then thrashed the Minnesota Vikings top-ranked defense in the NFC Championship Game.Of course, Foles’ ultimate heroics came in Super Bowl 52, when he torched the New England Patriots secondary for 373 yards and three touchdowns. Foles led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship, and was named the big game’s MVP as a result.However, it’s no kept secret that the Eagles are still Wentz’s team. They mortgaged plenty of draft picks to move up and select him second-overall in 2016, and Wentz was the front-runner for league MVP before his injury.Nonetheless, teams who may want to inquire about Foles will have to wait another year. Howie Roseman – team executive MVP of football operations – explained that the Eagles are planning to keep him around for 2018 Youth Logan Paulsen Jersey , per聽Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer.鈥淲e know what we have. And that allows us the ability to feel very good about the most important position in sports, » Roseman said. « For us to get rid of something like that, that鈥檚 going to be a high price tag.鈥滷oles is only under contract through the 2019 season, and it’s highly unlikely the Eagles would pay him big money to remain a backup. He will be Philly’s quarterback until Wentz is fully healthy, then it’s the latter’s turn to start again. But like Kirk Cousins in this year’s market, Foles could earn a massive contract if he hits the open market next offseason. Teams will look at the guy who carried a team on his back and won the Super Bowl, rather than a career journeyman.So sorry, quarterback-desperate teams. Foles is staying in Philly for at least one more year, barring a change of mind from Pederson and/or the front office.
Two young starters searching for consistency will try to find it Wednesday night in the rubber game of a three-game series between the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Padres left-hander Eric Lauer (2-4 John Ross Youth Jersey , 6.64 ERA) is undergoing on-the-job training with mostly painful results, while Cardinals right-hander Luke Weaver (3-5, 4.35) has won once in his last 10 starts, struggling to put hitters away and frequently running up high pitch counts.

The last start for each summarized their seasons. Lauer suffered a 4-0 loss Friday night in Miami, while Weaver was no-decisioned in a 7-6, 10-inning victory that same evening in Cincinnati as each failed to command the strike zone.
Lauer, who is in the majors because Bryan Mitchell (0-3, 7.08) was horribly ineffective, has allowed a whopping 81 baserunners (57 hits Tony Conigliaro Boston Red Sox Jersey , 24 walks) over 39 1/3 innings in nine starts.

Seven of those walks occurred in Miami, where Lauer threw 111 pitches and gave up three runs in a five-inning stint. Lauer at least managed to minimize damage, escaping a bases-loaded spot in the fifth without ceding extra runs.

“It was a good learning experience for me,” Lauer said to MLB.com. “And a good mental sign for me that (manager Andy Green) was comfortable leaving me in in those situations and letting me get that chance to grow. Being able to work through those tough situations is something I need to do.”

Lauer was shelled in a 9-5 loss to St. Louis at Petco Park on May 11, allowing four homers and six runs over 2 1/3 innings before getting hooked.

Weaver, who pitched well over the last two months of the 2017 season, came out of the gate strong in 2018 with two wins in his first three starts. But Weaver has lasted seven innings just two times in his last 10 outings, taxing a bullpen that hasn’t exactly been a model of consistency.

The Reds touched Weaver for seven hits, five walks and four runs in five-plus innings on Friday Tre’Davious White Bills Jersey , but only a blown save by Bud Norris in the ninth prevented Weaver from notching a win.

“Today was a tough one with the weather conditions and the rain, with it getting a little muddy,” Weaver said to MLB.com. “It is one of those where you have to put your stuff down and grind through it and make some good pitches.”

Weaver has stumped San Diego (32-37) in both career outings, winning both and not allowing a run over 12 innings.

The Padres evened this series Tuesday night as their bullpen checked the Cardinals (36-29) on five hits in a 4-2 victory. Matt Strahm and submarining right-hander Adam Cimber combined to retire the first 15 St. Louis hitters.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said the difference between Cimber and Strahm, a left-hander who touched 94 mph with his fastball, was difficult for his hitters.

“That was unique stuff from the right side,” Matheny said of Cimber. “Most of the time, he’s using the (arm) angle to hit the top of the zone. It’s certainly like an upshoot.”
