| Trevor Bayliss has described speculation over Alastair Cooks future as captain as a pain in the backside and insisted that the dressing room is united in its support for him.Cooks future has been called into question since he gave an interview to the Cricketer magazine on the eve of the Bangladesh and India tours in which he said: Deep down I dont know how much longer I am going to carry on. It could be two months, it could be a year.Suspicions he was preparing to step down only escalated after Cook described Joe Root as ready to captain following defeat in the Mumbai Test. That result meant England had lost three Tests in succession, four of their last five and five of their last seven. From a position where England were a result or two from reaching the top of the Test rankings in August, they are now facing the prospect of dropping to fifth if they lose the final Test of the series against India in Chennai.But Bayliss, the England coach, is clearly in no doubt that he wants Cook to continue. Describing Cooks record as fantastic, Bayliss acknowledged that talk of him standing down had become a distraction.I think everyone, to a man, in the dressing room would be disappointed if he wasnt captain, Bayliss said. But when its constantly in the media all the time, its a bit of a pain in the backside. Especially when no one around the team believes that or thinks that. Its a little bit aggravating.I suppose anyone whos done the job for that long, theres always going to be questions towards the twilight of his career. But the job hes done with the group, I think, has been fantastic.Bayliss was especially frustrated as talk over Cooks future had, he felt, detracted from all the good things England have achieved on the tour. And it is true that, while the scoreline is grim, England can take some comfort in the emergence of a couple of promising top-order batsmen, in Keaton Jennings and Haseeb Hameed, and the improvement in Adil Rashids legspin bowling.It takes the focus away from all the good things weve done on this tour, Bayliss said. I think weve played some good cricket here. Weve got to give credit where credits due: weve played good cricket and theyve played even better cricket.Bayliss now plans to speak to Cook and Andrew Strauss, the managing director of the England team, to resolve the uncertainty over the captaincy.Weve had some discussions in the past, he said. But those two guys - Cook and Strauss - have obviously had a big history. Im sure well have a chat between the two or three of us.Bayliss has previously stated that he expected Cook to be captain for the Ashes series in 12 months time. Hes talking about the next Ashes series and being out in Australia, Bayliss told the BBC last week. Sometimes there are little comments made along the way and they get blown out of all proportion.Hes certainly up for the fight. I havent had any discussion with him any other way and thats what weve been working towards. I was as surprised as anyone when I saw that in the papers. Mark Trumbo Jersey .

Cheap Orioles Jerseys Authentic . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.The Texas Rangers have a long list of injured starting pitchers, so they made a strong move to acquire one of the top available starters. Numbers Game breaks down the Rangers acquisition of Matt Garza. The Rangers Get: RHP Matt Garza Garza, 29, is a hard-throwing starting pitcher who has been stellar for the Cubs this season, once he joined the rotation May 21, after recovering from a strained lat muscle. In 11 starts for Chicago, Garza is 6-1 with a career-low 3.17 ERA and career-best 1.14 WHIP, striking out 62 in 71 innings. In three seasons with the Cubs, Garza owns a 1.21 WHIP, which puts him in solid company, with Zack Greinke, CC Sabathia and Gio Gonzalez and his 3.45 ERA over that span ranks 23rd among qualified starting pitchers. Garza is not as overpowering as he has been in past years, but Garza still averages 92.7 MPH with his fastball and has stayed with harder stuff, throwing fewer change-ups than at any other point in his career. Going to Texas is a trouble spot, for any pitcher, not just Garza. Its a small sample, but in five career starts at Rangers Park, Garza is 2-3 with a 6.04 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, striking out 30 in 28 1/3 innings. Hardly definitive, but not encouraging either. Texas has gone virtually the whole season without Colby Lewis, Neftali Feliz and Matt Harrison due to injuries, then Alexi Ogando and Nick Tepesch have joined them on the DL, making it increasingly difficult for the Rangers to keep pace in the American League West. Garza, who will be a free agent at seasons end, is making $10.25-million this season, and will be an upgrade for the Rangers depleted rotation, giving them a better shot at a playoff berth. Additionally, hes a power arm and power arms tend to rule the postseason. The Cubs Get: 3B Mike Olt, RHP C.J. Edwards, RHP Justin Grimm and a player to be named later. Olt is a 24-year-old power-hitting third baseman who has struggled this season. In 2012, Olt hit 28 homers and had a .977 OPS for Double-A Frisco, earning a 16-game stint with the Rangers, during which he hit .152 with a .432 OPS. This season has beeen more trying for Olt.dddddddddddd Since moving to Triple-A, Olt is hitting just .213 with 11 homers and a .739 OPS in 65 games, but he had vision issues early in the year which seem to be coming around (he has an .860 OPS with 11 homers in 45 games since the beginning of June). If hes back on track, Olt is a legitimate option to become a long-term starter at third base for the Cubs. Edwards appears to be the most promising aspect of this deal for the Cubs. A 48th round pick in 2011, but a skinny kid with a big fastball, Edwards has been dominating the low minors. Leaving aside his dominant Rookie ball numbers (1.48 ERA, 0.85 WHIP in 14 GP), Edwards has a 1.92 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, with 182 strikeouts in 140 1/3 innings over 28 starts between low-A ball and Single-A. Hes 21-years-old, so hell have some time to fill out and get stronger before hes major-league ready, but could be a significant long-term asset if he continues along this development curve. 24-year-old Justin Grimm has been taking a regular, if not altogether successful turn, in the Rangers rotation this season, posting a 6.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 17 starts. However, Grimms underlying numbers suggest that hes been the victim of bad luck, including a low percentage (63.8%) of runners left on base. If moving to Texas is a risky proposition for Garza, it would stand to reason that getting out of Texas could make things better for Grimm. Considering the other options for the Cubs -- Chris Rusin, Brooks Raley -- theres a good opportunity for Grimm to continue making regular starts in Chicago, effectively in an effort to audition for next years staff. Considering the Cubs were facing the prospect of losing Garza as a free agent, they got a nice return. There is uncertainty, and they might come up with nothing long-term, but there is also the possibility that the Cubs might have secured three pieces that could be part of the roster for many years to come.
