Braves flop in Philly for second straight season_我的网站

A | PHILADELPHIA -- Spencer Strider could not watch Nick Castellanos' second home run off him in Game 4. The 20-game winner simply accepted his fate — he gave the ball to Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker and awaited a reception almost as rude as the homers.Strider put his head down and walked toward the dugout as 45,000 fired-up, towel-waving Phillies fans — that had heckled and derisively chanted his name since he warmed up — pointed fingers at the pitcher and gave him the business one more time.Strider never broke stride, never looked up. If he had, Strider might have read the sign that read “Bye-Bye Strider.”It was soon bye-bye Braves — once again an October departure in Philly.When the bats in a lineup that hit 307 homers this season fell silent, so did Atlanta in a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Thursday night.“You look at the playoff format, you don't need to be a great team all year,” Strider said. “You need to get to the playoffs and then it's a different game.”One the Braves haven't yet mastered.A year after the 101-win Braves were eliminated in Game 4 in Philly, this season's 104-win edition suffered the same cruel fate. They scored a total of eight runs in the series.“Pretty much just told them they have nothing to hang their heads about. It stinks what just happened,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We wanted to go deep into this postseason, but I said it my first meeting every year, it’s like we want to check the first box, win the division because you never know what might happen. And we hit 300 some homers and didn’t happen in this playoff series.”Maybe it was the short break from the regular season to the start of the NLDS that cooled off the Braves. Ronald Acuña Jr., one of the front-runners for NL MVP, was 2 for 14 in the four games. Marcell Ozuna and Orlando Arcia each went 2 for 13. Michael Harris II went hitless in 13 at-bats.Austin Riley homered in the fourth inning of Game 4, but that was it for the Braves.Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, Atlanta loaded the bases on three two-out walks. Craig Kimbrel then retired Acuña on a deep fly ball that was run down by rookie center fielder Johan Rojas.Rally, over.Strider allowed two homers to Castellanos, a go-ahead shot to Trea Turner — who entered 0 for 17 lifetime against Strider — struck out seven and threw 96 pitches in 5 2/3 innings.“They didn't have a cheat code,” Strider said. “If you ask them, I'm sure they'll tell you I hung a couple of sliders.”Just one month earlier, the Braves took three of four and clinched their sixth straight NL East title in Philadelphia. The Braves went 8-5 against the Phillies in the regular season.Those numbers were as empty as the Braves offense.The franchise that put together an unprecedented streak of 14 straight division titles in the 1990s and 2000s tried for one more memorable run just two seasons removed from winning a World Series.But outside of a fantastic Game 2 rally, little went right for the Braves.Phillies fans had saved the worst for Strider, who is 8-0 in the regular season against the Phillies and a disaster in the postseason against them. Phillies fans chanted “We Want Strider” in Game 3, and then reserved their loudest pregame boos for him in Game 4.Strider, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, had said in an interview “there should be no fans” at the ballgame.“Get rid of the fans, it’s too loud,” he told MLB Fits. “It’s too loud, everybody be quiet. We don’t need the cheering, we know you’re watching. I don’t need the fans.”Joking or not, the Phillies needed little incentive to jump all over the ace right-hander. Some fans wore T-shirts that read “Is This Too Loud For You Spencer?” and others held signs with the same message.It was part of quirky series overall for the Braves.The social media user behind the account for the mascot Blooper oddly took aim on the Phillie Phanatic, writing “his last highlight was recorded with a flash.” Phillies fans spent the rest of the remaining games roasting Blooper.But Blooper was far from the only error.After Philadelphia star Bryce Harper committed a baserunning blunder that closed out Atlanta's Game 2 win, Arcia cracked “Attaboy, Harper!” inside of the Braves' jubilant clubhouse. Harper responded with two homers in Game 3, staring at the shortstop as he rounded the bases after each drive.Atlanta joins this year's list of playoff teams that tore through the regular season only to flop in October. The teams with the five best regular-season records — the Braves, Baltimore (101 wins), Dodgers (100), Tampa Bay (99) and Milwaukee (92) — all failed to reach the LCS.“We got beat and didn’t play good enough to win the series. It’s as simple as that,” Snitker said. “We got beat by a really good club that has a penchant for it this time of year.”___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb。在新加坡，DSA特长生招生计划为孩子们提供了一个通过个人才艺特长进入名校的机会。随着GEP计划的改革，许多家长将他们的关注点从GEP转移到了DSA上，DSA自2004年推出以来，已经实施了20年，其申请人数逐年增加。据统计，去年新加坡有近40%的小学六年级学生申请了DSA。什么是DSA计划 DSA是Direct School Admission的缩写，即直接收生计划。该计划由新加坡教育部在2004年推出，作为中学和初级学院的招生方式之一。学生可以在参加小六会考之前，利用非学术成就如才艺等申请学校，从而获得学校的预录取机会，这类似于我国通过特长生途径申请中学的方式，例如通过乐器、体育或奥数等。DSA分为两种：一是DSA-Sec，针对小学六年级学生升入中学的招生计划；二是DSA-JC，针对中学毕业生升入初级学院的招生计划。据统计，每年有超过100所中学开放，提供几千个名额供学生申请。在2023年，新加坡共有142所中学开放DSA申请，入学名额也从10%增加到了20%。新加坡各中学收到的DSA申请数量创下了历史新高，共有1.45万名学生提交了3.8万份申请。申请DSA的学生中，大约三分之一是通过体育项目，其次是科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）以及表演艺术，分别占25%和20%。DSA的项目范围相当广泛，大部分学生都能找到自己的优势领域。新加坡教育部将特长分为以下六个类别：- 体育和游戏- 视觉、文学和表演艺术- 辩论和公开演讲- 科学、数学和工程- 语言和人文学科- 制服团体- 领导一旦学生通过DSA项目被学校录取，他们就不能再申请其他学校，也不能转学，必须在项目期间就读于已选择的学校。获得预录取的学生还必须满足学校的PSLE或GCE O Level考试的最低学术要求，才能被正式录取。一般来说，DSA-Sec的申请在学生小六那年的5月开始，学生应在10月下旬通过DSA-Sec门户网站提交他们的择校决定，只有在11月底公布PSLE成绩时，才会确认录取。申请过程几乎全部可以在DSA-Sec门户网站上完成，而且不需要支付申请费。对于想要申请DSA-JC的学生，需要直接向学校提交申请。

B | 不同学校的申请情况不同，学生可能只需要参加DSA-JC的第一阶段，或者同时参加第一阶段和第二阶段，具体需根据各学校官网发布的信息来申请。教育部长明确表示将完善DSA计划 新加坡教育部长陈振声强调，直接入学（DSA）计划需要被更广泛的学生群体所接受，而不应仅限于来自资源丰富家庭的学生。

C | 在讨论教育部是否将审视DSA计划时，陈振声明确表示：“毫无疑问！作为新加坡的一分子，我们必须不断反思如何优化我们的制度。绝不能认为任何系统已经完美无缺。”陈振声指出，目前能够申请DSA的学生往往来自资源较充足的家庭，他建议学校应更加努力寻找具有潜力的学生，即便这些学生可能来自弱势背景。他强调，这需要我们协助教师们在不同领域发掘那些才华横溢的学生。DSA计划自2004年启动，旨在让小学六年级学生在参加小学毕业考试前，可以凭借非学术才能如体育和艺术，提前进入他们选择的中学。批评者认为，由于DSA竞争激烈，该计划偏向于能够负担私人教练和预备课程费用的富裕家庭孩子。根据教育部数据，2023年，提供综合课程（IP）的学校通过DSA招收了30%至35%的IP学生，而非IP学校则通过DSA招收了高达20%的中一学生。
