Both Minaya and Sabean bring decades of scouting experience to the team. With these additions, could we see the Yankees move away from the analytical side of the game? It sounds like that may be the case. Minaya mentioned that he believes in the human element side of the game, a side that analytics can’t account for. In today’s game, it’s about finding a balance between analytical data and trusting what you see and know....

After that, New Zealand will shift their focus on team India as the Men in Blue will visit the Kiwis for a full fledged tour. Before the IPL, the Blackcaps will visit Australia to play a ODI series. And soon, Australia would tour New Zealand to compete in a T20I series. The Kiwis would then visit Scotland, Ireland, West Indies and Bangladesh before taking part in the T20 World Cup....

While the details provided are next-to-none, the podcast’s host, Ben Hanson, did ask Khan if the entry would be a co-op title from the team behind 2015’s Tri Force Heroes. Khan responded with a vague “not exactly.” Since 1998’s classic Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64, Nintendo has published a new Zelda title every one to two years, and it stands to reason that we may see a new release before the end of 2019....

The only catch is that some of the songs may not make the cut due to re-licensing issues and some of your favorite songs may be left on the chopping block. Wii gamers are typically snubbed for this type of feature, but thankfully the export option will be available for all three console versions of the game. In an interview with Rock Band Aide, Drake also discussed the pricing of the Rock Band pro songs – they’ll be a little bit more expensive than regular tracks due to Harmonix having to do more work for each....

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of late has been taking several stringent measures and policies to curb the growth of an abnormal situation within cricketing spheres inside the country.

Sony’s Got Itself a PS5 Faceplate Patent Recently, Sony filed a patent for its PS5 faceplates. The claim of this patent—which OP Attack first spotted—says it’s for “the ornamental design for the cover for (an) electronic device, as shown and described”. The patent also shows schematics for the PS5’s faceplate....

Unsurprisingly, the $1,999.90 price tag for The Hidden and Unknown on Steam is going to be prohibitive for many gamers who won’t be able to afford such a steep asking price. The game, which released on January 23, currently only has two user reviews. Both reviews recommend the game, with one stating that it’s “worth every penny” and the other saying that they would buy the game again, awarding it a 10/10 score....

The move takes place just a few weeks before Garcia squares off against Emmanuel Tagoe inside The Alamodome in San Antonio, TX. “I’m excited to announce that I will now be working with Hall of Fame trainer Joe Goossen, in addition to my father, Henry Garcia,” Garcia stated in a release. “Joe’s legendary career spans several decades working with championship fighters.

The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise has been on quite the hideous. The franchise was extremely popular in the late ’90s and early 2000s, but it has been quiet or unsuccessful since. But Jason Dill noted that a new Tony Hawk game could be arriving as soon as this year. In a video that is circulating on social media, Jason nonchalantly mentioned that there will be a Tony Hawk Pro Skater game soon, and that his song is a part of the soundtrack....

When Square-Enix announced that the team behind 2018’s widely-acclaimed Octopath Traveler would be creating a tactical RPG for Switch, many fans were quick to draw comparisons to the developer’s classic tactical RPG, Final Fantasy Tactics. Triangle Strategy heavily pushes a similar storytelling style to Octopath as the game looks to follow a wide cast of players, pushing the idea that player choice can affect the outcome of the story. Now, as Triangle Strategy begins to reveal more about its cast of characters, the most recent trailer places the spotlight on the Wolffort family’s servant, Benedict Pascal....

RELATED: New World: All Crafting Skills & How To Level Them So much of the leveling in New World, whether it’s for weapons, armor, or crafting skills, happens without the aid of a trainer or a quest chain. That’s not the case when it comes to Camp upgrades. There are quests associated with other crafting or harvesting skill levels, but these aren’t required to continue to progress. Fortunately, the quests to upgrade the Camp are of a PvE nature and can often be completed solo....

Although Yakuza: Like A Dragon will feature a brand new protagonist with Ichiban Kasuga, there will apparently be a moment in the story where he will encounter Kazuma Kiryu, the original series protagonist. Despite his story having been wrapped up in Yakuza 6, it looks like he will still have some role to play in the new game. There is no official translation of the new trailer but, according to DualShockers, Kiryu is the guardian of some kind of “treasure” that Kasuga and his allies are after, so it’s possible that this is simply a cameo appearance and Kiryu isn’t a major player in the game’s story, though some fans hope that he’ll be a summon as well....

In Kentucky, where both Republicans and Democrats had vied to unseat House Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, voters faced long lines largely due to limited in-person polling locations as a result of coronavirus safety measures, despite bipartisan efforts to expand access. In Louisville, some voters claimed to have missed the 6 p.m. deadline to cast their ballots due to long waiting times to park their cars outside the Kentucky Exposition Center, the only polling station open in Louisville and Jefferson County due to coronavirus safety measures....

Rat Trap Inc., a New York based-rodent trap business, estimates that for every four humans in New York City, there’s a rat. Those numbers equate to 2 million rats scurrying around the city. For New York City officials, it’s too many. The city recently posted a job listing seeking a director of rodent mitigation to combat the infestation. Whoever is hired for the position could earn up to $170,000 a year, however one local rodent expert is warning the potential employee that the city will ultimately lose the war against the rodents....
