KANSAS CITY, Mo.
[b]Cheap Under Armour Authentic[/b] . -- It has been nearly two years since Tyler Skaggs started a major league game for the Los Angeles Angels.Skaggs, who starts Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals, last appeared on a major league mound on July 31, 2014 at Baltimore.Skaggs underwent season-ending left elbow surgery after that and then had a setback this season with shoulder tendinitis.His two phenomenal recent starts with Triple-A Salt Lake earned Skaggs a promotion to the majors. He went 2-0, allowing two hits in 12 2/3 innings, while striking out 26 and walking three in winning at Omaha and Iowa. The 14 strikeouts against Omaha equaled a Bees record for a game, held by Jered Weaver.It feels good to be back up here, Skaggs said. My teammates gave me a lot of love when I came back. Im excited about tomorrow. I know Im going to be nervous, very nervous. At the same time, Im going to tell myself Ive been here before. Ive pitched in this stadium before, the (2012) Futures Game. Just take it slow out there, deep breaths.Skaggs went 3-2 with a 1.60 ERA in nine starts with three different minor league clubs. He allowed 26 hits and struck out 53 in 39 1/3 innings.Its a big game for me, Skaggs said. Ive put in a lot of hard work to get here. The work is not done. I dont want to just be here. I want to stay here.Skaggs, who turned 25 on July 13, was 5-5 with a 4.30 ERA in 18 starts in 2014 with the Angels before the Tommy John surgery.Ive been through so much the past few years; Im going to take it day-by-day. Theres nothing much I could do about it. Youve got to trust the process. Dont get me wrong. I was excited, but I think it was a good experience for me and a humbling experience to go down to Triple-A to kind of figure things out.I wouldnt say Im a different pitcher. I would say Im bigger and stronger. Ive had a lot of time to refine my mechanics and learn more about myself than anything. How my body moves. What I need to do to get ready. My whole pregame routine is more at-depth now. I feel like Im a whole lot more athletic on the mound than I used to be.Ive done a lot of things mechanically to correct myself. I went back to my old mechanics of going over my head. I looked at some spring training video and I wasnt doing that. I went back to going back to old school. Its helped me a lot. Ive always thrown like that since I was 12.The Royals will counter with Dillon Gee, who will be making his first start since July 10. He pitched 5 1/3 innings in relief on July against Cleveland, allowing three runs.The Royals could wind up sellers instead of buyers at the trading deadline. They are 6-14 in July and are quickly fading out of postseason contention.I dont really worry about it right now, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Thats not on my mind. My mind is on the Angels.

Heres a look at what weve seen so far, and what may be in store.Can anybody beat the home teams?This year the NCAA went away from predetermined sites for the regionals, which had been the format since 2003, and opted to have the highest remaining seed in each region host. Its safe to say the top four project as overwhelming favorites to advance to the final four in Columbus, Ohio, on Dec. 15 and 17.Why? Their combined record at home this season is 59-3.Minnesota was 15-0 at the Sports Pavilion both this season and in 2015. The Golden Gophers havent lost at home since falling on Oct. 22, 2014, to Nebraska in five sets.Wisconsin is 13-1 at UW Field House this season; its home loss was to Minnesota on Oct. 12. Meanwhile, the Badgers handed Texas -- 15-1 at home -- its only defeat at Gregory Gymnasium this year, on Sept. 18. Texas has lost at home only eight times since 2007.Defending NCAA champion Nebraska is 16-1 this year in the Devaney Center, falling only to Ohio State on Oct. 1.A big part of these teams success is their fan support. Nebraska leads the nation in average attendance at home matches (8,199), with Wisconsin third (5,915), Minnesota fourth (4,766) and Texas ninth (2,250).Theyre always great, Nebraska libero Justine Wong-Orantes said of the Huskers faithful. But I think I felt it more now that its tournament time. They know when were struggling and when we need to be picked up.Lincoln regional: Morning madnessNobody shows up like Nebraska fans. But for the semifinal, theyll need to do it on a weekday morning. With all the regionals being held in the Central time zone, somebody has to go early. Turns out it will be the match between two enormous heavyweights in the sport.The four-time champion Huskers will face seven-time champ Penn State at 11 a.m. CT Friday. What a way to start the regional semifinals.The Big Ten-champion Huskers swept both their early-round foes, New Hampshire and TCU, and the program now has 100 victories all time in the NCAA tournament. The Huskers beat the No. 16 seed Nittany Lions twice this season, although the match at Penn State went five sets.Nebraska leads their series 18-10 and has won five of the last six meetings. Penn State, at 24-9, has its most losses since 1987, when the Nittany Lions went 27-9 and lost in the NCAA tournaments first round.While one semifinal is an all-Big Ten affair, the other matches two Pac-12 teams. Conference champion Washington, the No. 8 seed led by league player of the year Courtney Schwan, beat Arizona in both their regular-season meetings. But the Wildcats, despite losing four of their last six matches in the regular season, are coming off an upset of No. 9 seed Michigan State.Arizona, at 20-14, has the most losses of any team in the Sweet 16. But the Wildcats made it this far, and thats what matters.Austin regional: Giants and sleepersConsistency remains the Longhorns hallmark, even if this season cost coach Jerritt Elliott some shut-eye.This season hasnt been as easy as seasons past -- Ive lost a lot more sleep, he said about trying to solve some of Texas supposed shortcomings. Still, here is Texas in the Sweet 16 for the 11th consecutive season. The Longhorns have made the final four seven of the last eight years.The problem, though, has come in finishing the job. For all their success, the Longhorns have just two NCAA titles: in 1988 and 20012.

Of the six Big Ten teams still in the tournament, the Wolverines are the only one in this regional.Madison regional: Unseeded but still kickingWhile Wisconsin and No. 6 Stanford breezed into the Sweet 16, their opponents, Ohio State and Florida State, had to grind through five-set matches to advance.Ohio State outlasted No. 14 seed Kansas State 17-15 in the fifth behind Taylor Hughes second triple-double of the season (41 assists, 15 digs, 14 kills). The Buckeyes are two matches away from playing in the final four in their hometown, but Wisconsin -- which swept Ohio State in both their Big Ten matches this season -- is a daunting roadblock.Wisconsin was especially impressive in its second-round sweep of Washington State, holding the Cougars to zero hitting percentage in the final two sets. Coach Kelly Sheffield said of his Badgers, I think our team just keeps getting better and better.In the other semifinal, six-time NCAA champ Stanford meets Florida State for the first time. The Cardinal swept Denver and Boise State in the first two rounds and have won 13 of their last 14 matches.Rookies are leading the way for Stanford, including Pac-12 freshman of the year Kathryn Plummer. Stanford is the top blocking team in the nation but must be wary of Florida State, which rallied from a deep hole to stun No. 11 seed Florida in one of the most dramatic matches of the tournament. The Gators were just two points away from a sweep, but the Seminoles came back and took the fifth set 15-12.We were in it to win a national championship and we had the talent to do so, Florida libero Caroline Knop said after the loss. Unfortunately, tonight we werent tough enough.Minneapolis regional: A little bit of everythingFour different conferences are represented at Minnesota.
