Dellin Betances And Andrew Miller Are Unstoppable On The Mound
www.foxsports.com

Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller both had dominating seasons on the mound that helped project the Yankees to the playoffs. Betances, the eighth inning pitcher, held a 1.50 ERA and struck out 131 batters at the plate. Miller, the Yankees closer, collected 36 of 38 possible saves, held a 2.04 ERA and struck out 100 batters. Coming into the 2016 season, Yankees fans could be 100 percent confident that the back end of the Yankees bullpen would be as destructive on the mound as last year. Let me tell you right now, this 1-2 punch is not disappointing anyone.

Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller have struck out 30 of the 44 batters they have faced this season so far. They are leading in strike outs per nine amongst all relievers in Major League Baseball.

The dynamic duo has thrown a total of 11 innings so far this season. In those 11 innings, both pitchers have not allowed a single earned run to cross the plate. They both currently hold a 0.00 ERA, along with Yankees pitchers Chasen Shreve and Johnny Barbato.

Dellin Betances thus far as struck out 17 batters, allowing only five hits and two walks. His 100 miles per hour fastball is dominating all opponents to face it.

Andrew Miller this season has struck out 13 batters, allowing only two hits and walking no batters so far. He also has completed three out of three saves attempts possible this season.

Very soon, these two relievers will be joined by possibly one of the most dominant relievers in baseball, Aroldis Chapman. This 1-2-3 punch is going to be so amazing, I don’t think Yankees fans are ready for it. All three of these closers toss pitches over 100 miles per hour, which basically means good luck batters! Go Yankees!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
