导出博客文章TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama breezed through most of its early schedule with
lopsided wins and one big comeback.Now, the top-ranked Crimson Tide enters the
meat of its schedule with three straight games against Top 20 teams, two of them
on the road. The stretch begins Saturday at No. 16 Arkansas, with the Tide then
going to No. 9 Tennessee before a home game with No. 8 Texas A&M.The next
three weeks will be a grinder, center Bradley Bozeman said Monday.A grinder,
indeed. Alabama (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) has been tested only once
this season, though its taken a quarter or so to get going in several games.That
lone challenge, incidentally, came in the only SEC road game so far. Thats when
Alabama overcame a 24-3 deficit and a late charge to edge No. 14 Mississippi
snare a 48-43 and end a two-year losing streak to the Rebels. Three of the next
four are road games, closing with a trip to LSU.`Bama stampeded its only other
ranked opponent, then-No. 20 Southern California, 52-6 in the opener at
Arlington, Texas. Besides Ole Miss, the Tide has won the other four games by an
average of 37.5 points and leads the SEC in scoring offense while ranking second
in scoring defense. With seven touchdowns, Alabamas special teams and defense
have actually outscored three of the first five opponents.That came against
teams like Kent State and Western Kentucky, though. The offense figures to
improve along the way with three key freshmen -- quarterback Jalen Hurts,
tailback Joshua Jacobs and right tackle Jonah Williams -- banking some
experience. Jacobs started in place of an injured Damien Harris (ankle) against
Kentucky and rushed for 100 yards.Williams has started every game and Hurts has
so clearly solidified the starting job that opening-game starter Blake Barnett
left the team and withdrew from school last week.Now comes the toughest part of
the schedule, though. After these four games, Alabama faces struggling SEC West
opponents Mississippi State and Auburn and FCS team Chattanooga.It really is
nothing new since the Tide has faced 53 Top 25 teams since the start of the 2008
season and beaten 41 of them, a .773 winning percentage.Pretty much every year
we have a long SEC stretch, so Im pretty used to it now, defensive end Dalvin
Tomlinson said.Tide players are also accustomed to tuning out the hype and
adhering to Tide coach Nick Sabans message about staying grounded and not being
satisfied with your performance.There is room for improvement.The passing game
wasnt clicking in the first half against Kentucky. Botched execution also led to
a fumble when tailback Bo Scarbrough bumped the arm of quarterback Jalen Hurts.I
think our team is making progress, but I think we need to continue to do that
and continue to work because every week in the SEC youve got a real challenge
and a real test and that certainly wont be any different playing on the road
this weekend against Arkansas, Saban said.NOTE: Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart
is returning to practice after missing the past two games with a knee injury
sustained against Mississippi. Were hopeful that hell be able to get through the
week and make the kind of progress he needs to be able to contribute in this
game, Saban said.

Who is general manager Steve Yzerman watching? LeBrun: Over the last 48 hours,
hes taken in the home-and-home between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche
with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene being the obvious targets. ANAHEIM, Calif. --
Tim Lincecum is still trying to figure things out, and the Los Angeles Angels
are content to let him work through it.Lincecum (2-5) continued to struggle in
his comeback attempt, giving up four earned runs and five hits with four walks
in the Angels 6-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. He was removed
after giving up a home run to Jackie Bradley Jr. -- his 16th -- to lead off the
sixth.Right now Im trying to search for something consistent and its just not
there, Lincecum said. Im making it really hard on the team.Jhoulys Chacin
relieved Lincecum and gave up two earned runs through four innings as the Angels
snapped a season-high seven-game home winning streak.However, Angels manager
Mike Scioscia said Lincecums spot in the rotation is safe.He knows what he needs
to do, Scioscia said. Hes working hard to get there. Hopefully, we start to see
some steps forward here.Lincecum is re-learning to pitch in some ways after
battling hip and leg issues in recent years and hes having trouble establishing
consistency with a new delivery.Dealing with the leg every day its something
different, Lincecum said. Its not pain or anything. Its driving down the mound
with that front leg and feeling like I can get over that leg. At times its there
and at times its not. I feel like I battled myself a lot.Rick Porcello pitched a
five-hitter for his first complete game since 2014, Xander Bogaerts homered and
drove in three runs, and Boston snapped a four-game losing streak.Porcello
(14-2) struck out three while winning his sixth straight start -- also for the
first time since 2014 -- and eighth consecutive decision. He became the majors
fourth 14-game winner, joining Baltimores Chris Tillman, the Chicago White Soxs
Chris Sale, and Washingtons Stephen Strasburg.Porcello hasnt lost since May 17
and hes pitched five or more innings in 29 straight starts dating back to last
Aug. 26.He had just very good command the entire night, Farrell said. He stayed
ahead in the count, pitched to all quadrants of the strike zone, he used his
four-seamer in to some powerful right hitters in that lineup. He just continued
to pitch at a very good pace throughout the game tonight and a very strong
effort on his part.dddddddddddd.The Angels took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the
second but after getting one out in the top of the third, Lincecum allowed the
next five batters to reach. David Ortiz tied the game with a single to left that
scored Bogaerts.The first 30 pitches Tim threw, I thought it was pretty obvious
he had problems with his delivery and his release point, Scioscia said. He
couldnt get his fastball into the zone. Then he went through some stretches when
his fastball was in synch and he threw some much better pitches.Lincecum then
loaded the bases in the fourth and Aaron Hill scored on Mookie Betts sacrifice
fly to give Boston a lead. Bradleys 16th home run made it 4-2.Its just not
there, Lincecum said. I felt like I battled myself every inning. Im trying to
find that fifth or sixth gear that I can make good pitches with. I dont know. I
keep battling myself and making it really hard to get outs.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox:
RHP Craig Kimbrel will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Pawtucket on
Saturday. Hell go one inning and the team will check in with him on Sunday to
determine the next course of action. Kimbrel was placed on the 15-day disabled
list on July 9 with a medial meniscus tear in his left knee.Angels: RHP Garrett
Richards will undergo an examination on Wednesday to determine how successful
stem cell treatments have been on his torn ulnar collateral ligament. ... RHP
Nick Tropeano, who has also been shut down for the season with a torn UCL, had a
second opinion this week but has not yet determined his course of action.UP
NEXTRed Sox: LHP Drew Pomeranz will try again for his first win with Boston.
Pomeranz is 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA in two starts with the Red Sox and 1-2 with a
4.42 ERA in three appearances against Los Angeles.Angels: LHP Hector Santiago
looks to continue his career-high five-game winning streak. Santiago is 5-0 with
a 1.48 ERA in July.
