OXON HILL, Md. -- Having been pitched in five All-Star Games -- losing the 2015 contest in Cincinnati -- Clayton Kershaw wants them to have no part in determining World Series home-field advantage.Its an exhibition, so it shouldnt count, the Los Angeles Dodgers ace said Monday at the winter meetings. The focus should be about being elected to the All-Star Game as opposed to trying to win a game, for sure.The American League won 11 of 14 All-Star Games played under the rule that gave home-field advantage to the World Series winner, and the AL representative won eight World Series in those years. Under a change in the new labor contract agreed to last week, home-field advantage will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.I dont want to say that youre not necessarily putting your best product out there to compete for a home-field advantage like that, but theres too much going on during the All-Star Game, said Bostons Rick Porcello, the AL Cy Young Award winner. Youre not going to go out there and go 110 percent and maybe hurt yourself for the second half of the season. Its hard to feel like youre really going out there and youre getting the best decision on who deserves home-field advantage with those factors in play.Home-field advantage in the World Series generally rotated between the leagues through 2002. Baseball, led by then-Commissioner Bud Selig, and Fox television promoted the This Time It Counts innovation after the 2002 All-Star Game in Milwaukee ended in a 7-7, 11-inning tie when both teams ran out of pitchers.Under the new contract, each active player on the winning team will get a $20,000 bonus.Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the Chicago Cubs not having home-field advantage this year was an impetus for change.It was a great idea at the time, he said. Its just one of those things that had run its course, and it was time to do something different. Wholesale SOCCER Jerseys .

ROME -- Former Lazio coach Stefano Pioli was hired by struggling Inter Milan on Tuesday, replacing the fired Frank de Boer and tasked with restoring the 18-time Serie A champions to respectability.Inter announced that it signed Pioli to coach through next season and that he will be introduced on Thursday.Besides Lazio, the 51-year-old Pioli previously coached his hometown club Parma plus Chievo Verona, Palermo and Bologna in Serie A. In 218 matches as a Serie A coach, his teams have a record of 73 wins, 62 draws and 83 losses.He seems to me to be a logical choice, former Inter president Massimo Moratti said. Hes a coach who knows Italian soccer and who has always made his clubs play well.De Boer was fired last week after Inter lost seven of 14 matches in all competitions.Inters youth squad coach, Stefano Vecchi, had been given temporary control of the senior team for a 2-1 loss at Southampton in the Europa League on Thursday -- leaving the Nerazzurri last in their group -- and a 3-0 win over last-place Crotone on Sunday in Serie A.Inter is in ninth place in the Italian league, 13 points behind leader Juventus.Piolis debut will come in the derby against AC Milan on Nov. 20.Considered the next in a long-line of Italian tacticians, Pioli was considered the safest choice after a long weekend of meetings and interviews conducted by Inter management -- even though he has never coached a major club.Other coaches reported to have interviewed for the job included Marcelino, Italian great Gianfranco Zola and the well-traveled Guus Hiddink.Big Italian clubs rarely hold interviews for coaches in the public manner that Inter did, which sparked perplexity among the clubs supporters.I never held any casting interviews but I observed (coaches) on my own, Moratti said. Theyre different systems but its not like one way is right and the other is wrong. Its a transparent method to make a well-informed choice.In Piolis first season at Lazio, he led the Rome club to a third-place finish. He was fired by Lazio in April after a 4-1 derby loss too Roma.dddddddddddd.As a player, Pioli was a center back for Juventus, Hellas Verona and Fiorentina.While financial details were not announced, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Pioli will earn 1.4 million euros ($1.5 million) for the remainder of this season and nearly 2 million euros ($2.2 million) for next season.De Boer was hired less than two weeks before the season began following the unexpected resignation of Roberto Mancini, who reportedly wanted more control over the transfer market and clashed with Suning, the Chinese retail giant that took control of 70 percent of Inter in June.Inter fans have blamed the clubs complicated global management structure for the teams troubles.The club president is Erick Thohir, an Indonesian entrepreneur who purchased Inter from the Moratti family three years ago and who now has 30 percent of the ownership after the recent restructuring.Michael Bolingbroke, an Englishman who formerly worked at Manchester United, resigned his position as CEO on Monday.And there are five Chinese representatives on the clubs nine-member board of directors -- Ren Jun, Mi Xin, Liu Jun, Yang Yang and Zhang Kangyang.During Inters win over Crotone, supporters displayed banners that read, Shame on the management, and, Thanks Frank, youre paying for errors that were not yours.Pioli becomes Inters ninth coach since Jose Mourinho led the club to a treble in 2010. The others were Rafa Benitez, Leonardo, Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri, Andrea Stramaccioni, Walter Mazzarri, Mancini and De Boer.Former AC Milan, Inter and Juventus coach Alberto Zaccheroni also labeled Pioli the best choice.He has shown over the last few years to be the smartest coach with the most ideas, Zaccheroni told Rai state radio. Pioli knows the Italian league. Inter players are in need of certainties right now, and a coach like Pioli can provide them.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
