There are other game modes, such as basketball and ice-hockey-themed games. It’s all free to play and can be downloaded from Epic Games; however, to keep it profitable, Psyonix has added in-game purchases in the form of loot crates and blueprints to spruce up your vehicles.< mcdonald’s rebrand 2024 /p>
And stand out it did. Achieving no less than 2.1 million concurrent players in early 2024, Palworld completely smashed SteamDB’s records, securing a gigantic lead over the previous record-holder (Lost Ark at 1.32 million concurrent players).
Although following the same intense, difficult, and story-driven Soulslike formula of FromSoftware’s past games, Elden Ring is every bit of a multiplayer game experience as it is singleplayer, and one of the most highly successful GOTY winners ever, with the player count to prove it. This has also recently been helped by 2024’s highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and Kai Cenat’s stream.
World series game 2
Yankees: RHP Clarke Schmidt (5-5, 2.85 ERA in the regular season)Schmidt will make his third career postseason start and his first in the World Series. He tossed 4 2/3 innings of two-run ball in each of his first two outings this October, taking no-decisions against the Royals and Guardians. Schmidt pitched to a 4.50 ERA in eight home starts during the regular season, compared to a 1.39 ERA in eight road outings.
The play Ohtani was injured was just kind of a freak thing. The man stole 59 bases this season and he played in all 162 games and every playoff game. As it is, he probably dislocated his shoulder but I believe it’s been popped back into place and that he will be right back in the lineup tonight for the Dodgers. I could be wrong, but he hasn’t been ruled out for sure. It would be interesting to see Ohtani in batting practice to see how he’s swinging.
Rodón tweaked his pitch mix this year to begin relying on his fastball less. After letting the heater make up roughly 60% of his pitches in each of the last three seasons, Rodón switched to using it less than half of the time in 2024, making up the difference by using his slider and making his changeup into a legitimate offering. But he went back to relying on the heater during Game 2. The Dodgers can be deadly against secondary stuff: They had the highest slugging percentage in baseball both on breaking balls and the highest on offspeed pitches. They’re exceptionally patient—they drew more walks this year than any team other than the Yankees—and will lay off anything outside of the zone they do not especially like. So against this lineup in the World Series, Rodón went back to relying on his fastball, which made up 60% of his pitches on Saturday. It was the highest proportion of fastballs that he’d thrown in a game since April.
With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Yankees manager Aaron Boone is making a pitching change. Jake Cousins has taken over for Carlos Rodón after Rodón surrendered six hits and four runs over 3.1 innings of work.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave manager Dave Roberts a huge gift tonight with this strong start. Yamamoto has thrown 80 pitches through six innings and has only surrendered one hit, a solo homer to Juan Soto.
The Dodgers have a commanding lead in the World Series—except, they now face the prospect of a cross-country trip into the toughest place for visitors to play postseason baseball, their pitching is wearing thin, and the best player in baseball might be gone from the top of their lineup.
Game 4 world series 2024
As for the Dodgers, the four innings Landon Knack ate in a bullpen game in Game 4 loom large for Game 5. Because now, behind starter Jack Flaherty, they can call upon any of their high-leverage relief arms in this one.
Volpe drew a walk off Ben Casparius and stole second before Wells doubled to the center-field wall. Volpe should have scored easily on the play but mistakenly hung close to second to ensure the ball was not caught. He advanced only to third. Regardless, Alex Verdugo got him home on a groundout to make it 2-1.
• 11 runs were the Yankees’ most in a World Series game since 1978 Game 5 (12). They played 48 World Series games in between. Only 10 MLB franchises have even played 48 World Series games total. It was also the second-most runs in a game facing elimination in Yankees postseason history. They scored 12 in Game 6 in 1960.
Who is hot and who is not?Dodgers: Freeman continues his dominant World Series run, hitting a homer in all four games against the Yankees. The star first baseman has now hit a homer in six consecutive games in the Fall Classic, a new record. He also has 10 RBIs in the four games. If the Dodgers wrap it up, Freeman will likely be taking home his first World Series MVP trophy.
Indeed, the Yankees began the regular season by winning five in a row, the first of eight winning streaks of at least four games over the 162-game campaign. New York added a ninth such streak earlier this month, when it wrapped up the ALDS with two wins in Kansas City before opening the ALCS with two wins against Cleveland. So yes, this group is plenty familiar with catching fire and racking up a quartet of Ws in a hurry.
