data-mm-id=”_4rwogy0kk”>Three days ago, The Big Lead published an op-ed proclaiming that Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers had completely fallen apart. In the time since he has been to the plate nine times and hit four home runs and drove in 11 runs. He is now second in the National League with five round-trippers and tied for first with 14 RBIs. We are carefully monitoring the situation. For two reasons. One, it is important that we be accountable for our takes. Two, each and every bomb is an opportunity to bring up the post in our internal Slack and have a laugh about the helplessness that comes with publishing something about someone who is underachieving only to have them turn into someone from a Matt Christoper chapter book overnight and make it age like spoiled milk. Now, to be fair to Ryan Phillips, three games is a small sample size and if Muncy is to continue this pace he'd be the owner of the greatest offensive season in baseball history. The Dodgers' infielder is coming off a very underwhelming 2022 campaign and it is not yet mid-April. So we may have to wear this one. As someone who has published some regrettable claims myself (like spending many months telling everyone Herm Edwards would not work at Arizona State only to see him beat my Michigan State Spartans not once, but twice), I empathize.Every dark cloud has a silver lining, though. This presents a tremendous opportunity for The Big Lead. We are currently in the early stages of putting together a program where you can write in about your favorite player who is struggling so we can write about it and then have them immediately turn it around. It's part public service, part naked cash grab. Max Muncy is on fire. All credit to him. We'll try to keep our batting average in the takes department as high as his at the dish going forward.

Bukayo Saka is confident he will agree to a new contract with Arsenal, revealing he feels really loved by Mikel Arteta and his Gunners teammates.
Saka has emerged as a key part of Arsenal s side since making his league debut in 2019, and hit the net 11 times to finish as their top Premier League goalscorer last season.
Since the start of last campaign, meanwhile, no Gunners player has recorded as many Premier League assists as Saka (eight), and only Martin Odegaard has created more chances (80 to Saka s 75).
While Saka s current deal does not expire until 2024, Arsenal are keen to tie one of their most important assets to new terms in order to avoid being placed in a vulnerable position at the end of the season.

Valencia will face Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey after a 1-0 second-leg win over Real Betis on Thursday secured a 3-2 aggregate semi-final victory.
Rodrigo Moreno s goal early in the second half was enough to see off Betis at Mestalla and clinch a first final of any kind for Valencia in 11 years.
The result completed an impressive turnaround in the tie for Marcelino s side, who trailed 2-0 after less than an hour of the first leg three weeks ago only to snatch a 2-2 draw thanks to Kevin Gameiro s injury-time equaliser.
Their edge on away goals left them in a decent position and they managed the game superbly against a Betis side who sit three points and two places above them in LaLiga but now miss out on the chance to contest a final in their home st…

Two sides who will open their respective EFL Trophy adventures on Tuesday night, Bolton will travel to Cumbria when they meet Barrow.
Barrow
Starting with the hosts, while Barrow might have suffered real frustration last season as they eventually missed out on a shock play-off ticket, the Bluebirds took plenty of positives away from what was a hugely impressive campaign.

David Moyes had come to see me and the contract had basically been done but then Moyes was fired and Louis van Gaal came in, which complicated matters, Kroos told
Louis wanted time to build his own project. I didn t hear anything from United for a while and started having doubts. Then the World Cup started and Carlo Ancelotti called. And that was it.
Those are the words of Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos who made it clear during a recent interview that he was close to joining Manchester United back in 2014 prior to the World Cup. David Moyes had initially revealed that information back in 2018, and it turns out that it was true.
To this day Kroos is still one of the most highly thought of midfielders in world football but at this stage of his career,…
