Matt Moorre and Zack Greinke are the scheduled starters Sunday

The remarkable -- and seemingly unbelievable -- comeback journey of world champion Vinny Pazienza (now Vinny Paz) makes its way to the big screen this week in Bleed for This. Written and directed by Ben Younger, the film stars Miles Teller (Whiplash, Fantastic Four, The Divergent Series) as Pazienza, the rough-and-tumble fighter from Rhode Island who claimed titles in two divisions. The toughest fight of his career was his inspirational recovery after breaking his neck in a horrific car crash. Bleed for This takes you into the mind of one of the toughest fighters in boxing history. And its a role Teller didnt take lightly.I got the script sent to me three years ago, before Whiplash came out, Teller said. I said, yeah this is amazing! Why are you sending it to me? I felt I wasnt at that place in my career playing guys with the kind of testosterone and masculinity that Vinny has. My agent said Ben Younger, the director, wants to meet you. I thought he was just doing her a favor. I met him and I was super relaxed because I didnt think he was actually thinking of me for the role. I got the call a couple of days later. I was shocked and excited. I felt like I had won a competition, even though I hadnt done anything at that point. His story is innately an inspirational comeback.Still -- Tellers physique wasnt quite that of a boxer. Not yet.I was cast in March. I looked into the mirror and realized this was going to be a long road, Teller said. I knew boxing training would be absolutely brutal. Genetics-wise, I was never that guy who worked out and looked jacked. I really had to diet and work out harder than other people. I knew it was going to be a big challenge. I didnt eat any bread. Didnt drink. I didnt even take a cheat day. I knew I wasnt this naturally gifted visual specimen, so I didnt. I wouldnt even eat a Jolly Rancher because there was like a gram of sugar in it. I didnt want to look at myself on screen and say, Ah, remember that day when you had that pizza? I ended up losing 20 pounds and down to 6 percent body fat, 168 pounds for the first fight scene. I also knew Vinny moved up in weight and that was part of his legacy. I had to regain 15 pounds in two and a half weeks.For years, Teller dreamed of taking on the role of a boxer.If you had asked me in college what parts I wanted to play, I would have said a soldier or a boxer. I like those blue collar stories. To me, this film was about Vinnys comeback. What was going on inside of this person? Whats in his DNA where he breaks his neck and five days later, go down into the basement and work out, literally risking paralysis. He knew hed rather box than walk. And when you really tap into that psyche, I knew it would be a challenge but very rewarding. I needed something at that point in my career to really go outside of my comfort zone. I had never boxed before. I had never done an accent on camera before. I knew the Providence, Rhode Island, accent was going to be very specific.Born in 1987, Teller wasnt familiar with Pazs story or, for that matter, what kind of personality the Pazmanian Devil had. That became crystal clear when he received a package in the mail.He knew I was playing him. It was about two months into my prep, and Im listening to all these interviews with him, and I get this package in the mail. It was a signed picture of him in his boxers. The rest is NSFW but suffice it to say, it was the icebreaker Teller needed. Later, when I met him I asked him about it. He said he was cracking up while writing it. He said he wanted to let me know I wasnt playing someone like normal. He was a crazy guy. I was so intimidated by this guy. I didnt want him to see me while I was working on the accent or working on my boxing. I wanted him to see a finished product. He was the first person I met when I got to Rhode Island for filming. That was a surreal moment because here was this guy who I had watched countless hours of footage on and really being obsessed with; pretty much idolizing for the past 8 months and hes the exact same as how he was. He still has the personality that people love.Certainly one thing Teller could relate to was the car accident that nearly killed the champ. In 2007, Teller was in a near-fatal car crash himself, and the scars on his face are a constant reminder.My accident was very similar to Vinnys. The car came out of nowhere. Its very traumatic for the people around you initially, and then its just you left to pick up the pieces. I had just started auditioning and all these casting directors were saying Miles is a good actor but it doesnt make sense for this character to have scars. For a couple of months, I felt that this vision I had for my life and this career that I love so much ... is that now taken away from me? I felt it was something I would be inhibited by and had no control over. Then John Cameron Mitchell, the director for Rabbit Hole called. He just really liked my scars. I dont know if he thought they told a story and gave it a mystery, but he gave me my first full length movie role. I thought I would be just that actor with scars.And, like Teller, Vinny wouldnt give up.Vinny never counted himself out. Even when doctors said fighting again was impossible. In the hospital scene when he asked the doctor how long until I can fight again, that was just how his mind worked. Hed rather box than walk.Adding credibility to the fight scenes, the film cast former middleweight world titleholder Peter Kid Chocolate Quillin playing Roger Mayweather and super middleweight and light heavyweight contender Edwin Rodriguez as Roberto Duran.Darrel Foster, our fight coordinator, trained Sugar Ray Leonard, Teller said. With Peter, we had 5 days to choreograph the fight. With Edwin we only had about 6 hours to rehearse. There were a lot of moments of free boxing because you couldnt choreograph everything. It was really amazing. You get a first-person perspective of what it must feel like to be that close, staring into the opponents soul.Being in the ring, even for staged fights gave Teller a new perspective on boxing.That ring is small, man. Its a lot smaller than you think. It was such a thrill, though. When Vinny knocks out Gilbert Dele in the movie, I was in the moment. He knocked him out in the 2nd round while being a 10-1 underdog. I jumped on the ropes and all the extras were chanting Vinny, Vinny! It was the most surreal moment Ive ever filmed in a movie. I felt like I just won the title.Bleed for This opens in theaters Friday. Yeezy 350 v2 Acheter .

Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. PHOENIX -- Well, that was different.San Francisco failed to hold two late-inning leads against Arizona on Friday night, so when the Giants got a third lead, manager Bruce Bochy turned to a Joe Maddon-esque strategy to secure the 7-6, 12-inning victory against the Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game series at Chase Field.It could be the sort of pick-me-up the Giants need to get back in the NL West race.The Giants certainly had some fun with it.As it was, San Francisco gained a game on the Dodgers and closed to within four games in the division race while maintaining the slimmest of margins in the wild-card standings with 24 games left when reliever Cody Gearrin got the final three outs, one before he played left field and two afterward.Gearrin entered to strike out Chris Owings leading off the last of the 12th inning, and thats when the wheels began to turn.Bochy previously had talked about moving a pitcher in the outfield when left-handed specialist Javier Lopez entered a game, and the occasion arose Friday when lefty-hitting Jake Lamb followed Owings. Gearrin moved to left field to replace Angel Pagan.What are you doing out here? Gearrin was asked by teammates when he arrived.After Lopez walked Lamb, Gearrin returned to the mound for the final two outs, after a stolen base by Lamb and an intentional walk.It felt weird running out to left field from the mound and running back in, but definitely something Ill never forget, Gearrin said.It was really exciting.So the Giants will have two chances to win their 13th series in the last 14 at Chase Field when they send right-hander Johnny Cueto to face right-hander Archie Bradley on Saturday. Matt Moorre and Zack Greinke are the scheduled starters Sunday.dddddddddddd The Giants have won seven of eight games played in Arizona this year.Santiago Casilla blew another save Friday when he allowed an 10th-inning homer to Jake Lamb, but the Giants recovered in a game that lasted five hours, 23 minutes.Guys are not quitting on each other, and thats the most important thing, Lopez said. The takeaway is that we battled back. Finally got those last three outs that we needed.Cubs manager Maddon played three pitchers in the outfield in a game this season, but Friday was a first for the Giants.Cory moves around pretty good, so I was comfortable taking a little risk there, Bochy said. Hes a gamer. He was all for it.Lopez said it is the kind of situation pitchers think about.I think every pitcher wants that opportunity, but I would guarantee you that I would be nervous just like everybody else when you are having to go out there and make a play.Although the Giants won, the game accentuated the trouble they have had holding leads. Casilla has blown eight saves this season, the most in the National League, and the Giants have 27 blown saves after also failing to hold a 5-4 lead in ether seventh inning Friday.Bochy said the Giants spent the off day Thursday mulling their bullpen options, and he indicated before the game that while Casilla would continue to be used in high-leverage situations, those could come in the eighth inning.Were going to put who we think is the right guy for that inning who is coming up, Bochy said of bullpen roles.
