Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Johan Camargo’s mom celebrated her birthday by crashing his post walk-off home run interview

What a birthday.

Johan Camargo had a big Tuesday night. Not only was it his mother’s birthday, but he also helped will his Braves back from a 6-2 deficit to defeat the Mets with a walk-off solo home run.

And when he returned to the field after the game for a postgame interview with Fox Sports’ Atlanta’s Paul Byrd, those two worlds intertwined. Gloriously.

Camargo’s mom took the field to celebrate with her son and wound up the subject of an interview of her own. It turns out she was pretty happy with her birthday.

“I am extremely proud,” Ms. Camargo told Byrd via a translator. “It being on my birthday, I mean, I can’t even tell [you].”

It capped a busy day for the young third baseman, who had a pair of hits and his third home run of the season. Camargo is in his second year as a pro but has developed rapidly to earn his spot in the Braves’ starting lineup. Though he’s batting just .230 on the season, his growing patience at the plate and some bad luck on batted balls in play have built the foundation for what may become a breakout season.

That would be perfect for Atlanta, whose rebuild has launched the team to the top of the NL East. The Braves will have to fend off the Nationals and Phillies to claim a division crown just two years after a 68-win campaign. Camargo will be a big part of that defense — and if Tuesday’s interview is any indication, he’ll have his mom riding with him.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro

The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor
