MIAMI -- Before signing reliever Junichi Tazawa, the Miami Marlins consulted with an expert on Japanese pitching: Ichiro Suzuki.Tazawa finalized his $12 million, two-year contract with the Marlins on Friday after passing a physical. The deal came with an endorsement from Suzuki, the Marlins outfielder and 3,000-hit club member.What was Suzukis scouting report on his fellow native of Japan?That hes a very good pitcher and can help us, president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. He signed off, and that was good to know.Tazawa had been with the Boston Red Sox since his rookie year in 2009, and has a career ERA of 3.58. Miami swung the deal for the right-hander after falling short in its pursuit of high-priced closers Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen.We know theres competition for players, Hill said. You have a Plan A, but you have a Plan B, C and D to accomplish your goal.A.J. Ramos remains the closer, at least for now, and Tazawa should help compensate for the loss of left-hander Mike Dunn to Colorado in free agency.Hill said hes pleased with the way the bullpen shapes up.The goal is always to try to put together the deepest bullpen we can, and a bullpen with different looks and different ways to get people out, Hill said. With Junichi you see someone who has pitched in the very competitive American League East and has a varied repertoire of weapons to get hitters out.The Marlins have also acquired starting pitchers Edinson Volquez and Jeff Locke to help compensate for the loss of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boat crash in September. They added A.J. Ellis as their backup catcher.If we had to play right now, were able to play, Hill said. Im very comfortable with what weve been able to accomplish in the offseason.Miami designated right-hander Nefi Ogando for assignment to clear a roster spot. Victor Martinez Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. Denny McLain Jersey . Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. http://www.tigersgearshop.com/Tigers-Jeimer-Candelario-Kids-Jersey/ . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Dixon Machado Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Joe Jimenez Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. A day before her 23rd birthday, Dipa Karmakar became the first Indian to qualify for the apparatus finals in an Olympic gymnastics competition, after she finished eighth in the qualifiers of the vault event.?Im happy but wish I could have done a bit better, Dipa said. In practice, I perform way better than this.Dipa, who is taking part in her first ever Games, scored 14.850 points from her two vaults at the Rio Olympic Arena on Sunday afternoon, which temporarily placed her at sixth. She then had to wait for nearly five hours for 38 other competitors to finish their vaults, before her qualification was secure. There were some nervous moments towards the end of the qualifiers when Canadas Olsen Shallon pushed Dipa down to the eighth, the last qualifying spot.?As the Produnova vault was the first thing I attempted today and it did not go as expected, it immediately put me in a bad mood, Dipa said. It wasnt very good. I was hoping for a better score from the first vault and because it was low. I was really disappointed. My landing had been better in training. My hip touched the mat today which wasnt in the plans. That I have reached the final is an amazing achievement.USAs Simone Biles, the three-time world champion, topped the qualifying round with a score of 16.050. The top eight gymnasts will now compete in the individual apparatus finals on August 114.dddddddddddd.Simone Biles came up to me and wished me luck to do well in Produnova, Dipa said. She is like a star to me and difficult to think of standing beside her. Im so overwhelmed.At the Olympic Games, Dipa was to compete in exactly the same two vaults as she did at the worlds: the first being the front handspring double somersault (the Produnova) with a D-(difficulty) score points value of 7 and the second, a Tsukahara stretched double twist (also known as the Zamolodchikova) with a D-score points value of 6. Dipa scored 15.100 in the Produnova (7 for difficulty + 8.1 for Execution) and 14.6 in the Zamolodchikova (6 for difficulty + 8.6 for execution). During qualification, she was the only gymnast to successfully attempt the Produnova.?Dipa added that her coach, Bisweshwar Nandi, was very happy since she executed what he had taught her to do.Dipas total of 14.850 was better than her scores at the 2015 World Championship vault final in Glasgow where she finished fifth with 14.683, but could not nail as high a score in Rio off her first vault as she had done in Glasgow.In the all-round individual standing, Dipa finished 51st with 51.665 points in a field of 98 gymnasts. She did not enter the all-round competition. ' ' '
