World Series 2024 live score: Yankees vs. Dodgers updates, results, highlights from Game 2

Top Stories Tamfitronics

A universe of universes will be scrawled across the diamond at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night when the Yankees take on the Dodgers in Game 2 of the 2024 World Series.

The matchup is as decisive as they come. A 1-0 series deficit is manageable. 2-0 is a chasm — just 15 teams have overcame a 2-0 disadvantage to win a seven-game series in MLB history.

Freddie Freeman’s last-gasp heroics made the difference Friday night, as his walk-off grand slam delivered a 6-3 victory to Los Angeles that appeared unlikely at various points throughout the contest.

Saturday’s Game 2 could very well be decided in a similar manner. For a neutral observer, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

6:45 p.m.:Here’s a look at New York and Los Angeles’ lineups for Game 2. A bit a wrinkle in the Dodgers’ setup compared to Game 1 — Dave Roberts’ side will have Teoscar Hernandez bat third, Freddie Freeman bat cleanup and Tommy Edman hit sixth.

6:30 p.m.:Carlos Rodon and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are set to joust for pitching supremacy tonight. Rodon has a career 4.50 ERA across five starts against the Dodgers. Yamamoto, meanwhile, has only made one appearance against New York — a seven-inning masterpiece that saw the Japanese supernova surrender just two hits.

A similar outing on Saturday night would have Dodgers feeling a whole lot better about their chances of hoisting the Commissioner’s Trophy once the dust is settled.

World Series 2024 live score: Yankees vs. Dodgers updates, results, highlights from Game 1
Top Stories Tamfitronics

For the first time since 1981, two of the most high-profile, historic teams in baseball will meet in the World Series.

On Friday night, the Yankees will visit the Dodgers in Los Angeles to kick off the 2024 World Series. While baseball’s a sport where the top individual stars aren’t always guaranteed opportunities to go deep into the postseason, this year’s World Series matchup defies the sport’s logic by featuring some of league’s most recognizable players.

Of course, that star conversation begins with the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani. After taking his talents from one side of L.A. to the other over the offseason, earning himself a record-breaking $700 million deal in the process, Ohtani put forth one of the best-ever offensive seasons. The Dodgers’ designated hitter now owns the first 50 homer-50 stolen base season in MLB history, and in his first postseason appearances, he’s helped Los Angeles reach the biggest stage in the game.

Even outside of Ohtani, the Dodgers have relied on consistent offensive production throughout the postseason. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman remain two of the best veteran hitters in the game, and some of the players in the bottom of manager Dave Roberts’ lineup, like Kike Hernandez and NLCS MVP Tommy Edman, have stepped up to the postseason stage.

Similar to the Dodgers, the Yankees’ playoff run has been all about their offensive production. In series wins over the Royals and Guardians, the team’s three sluggers — Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton — have combined for 10 home runs, with Stanton, the ALCS MVP, doing the heavy lifting. The top of the Yankees’ lineup can strike fear into any opposing pitcher, and it’s helped New York come out of the AL bracket with some thrilling victories.

While pitching hasn’t been the main focus for either club in the postseason so far, both teams will turn toward arguably their best available starters on Friday. Jack Flaherty will get the ball for Los Angeles, while Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for New York in Game 1.

Two of the biggest spenders, most iconic franchises, and deepest lineups in MLB will each begin their quest for a World Series title on Friday, and the 2024 season comes down to a matchup between the postseason’s two No. 1 seeds: the Yankees and Dodgers.

World Bank sees 15-year struggle ahead for Nigeria, says Shehu Sani

Politics tamfitronics

Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has strongly criticised the World Bank, accusing it of complicity in Nigeria’s prolonged economic hardship.

In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sani claimed that the World Bank envisions another 15 years of hardship for Nigerians before the country can reach what he described as the “promised land.”

Sani’s remark comes in response to the World Bank’s latest Africa’s Pulse report, which flagged the Nigerian Naira as one of the worst-performing currencies in Sub-Saharan Africa.

According to the report, the Naira’s depreciation is on par with that of the Ethiopian Birr and the South Sudanese Pound, reflecting steep declines in value over recent months.

“The World Bank wants the hardship to extend to the next fifteen years before we can reach the promised land,” Sani posted. “I don’t know how many people will be remaining at that time to enjoy the fruits of the WB in its promised land.”

The former lawmaker also questioned the World Bank’s track record in Africa, asking, “How many African countries have the World Bank taken to the promised land?”

The World Bank report attributed the Naira’s fall—about 43 percent by August 2024—to sustained demand for dollars and limited dollar inflows, further destabilising Nigeria’s currency.

This economic strain has compounded difficulties for millions of Nigerians, who are already grappling with high inflation and rising living costs.

Sani’s remarks underscore growing public discontent and raise questions about the efficacy of international financial institutions in addressing Africa’s economic challenges.
