His father, Steve, was selected sixth overall by the Giants in the 1993 MLB Draft. His brother, Tate, is currently playing college ball at the University of Arizona as a junior.\n\nIn joining the A’s organization, Soderstrom has come full circle with fellow top prospect Daulton Jefferies. The 25-year-old right-hander began to utilitze Soderstrom’s father as a pitching coach at the age of 9. At the time, Jefferies recalled a young Tyler hanging around during pitching sessions. As the catcher got older, the two became offseason throwing partners when Jefferies was drafted by the A’s in 2016.\n\n“I remember seeing Tyler as this little runt of a kid with super blonde hair just running around with his brother,” Jefferies said. “He caught my bullpens when he was in high school and now he has the same uniform on as me. I think it’s really awesome.”","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.6":{"contentDate":"2020-11-09T16:10:01.275Z","description":"A.J.

Through the early part of Spring Training, those tools continue to stand out.\n\nBut something else stands out about Soderstrom, perhaps even more than the pop in his bat. The young catcher is thirsty for knowledge, constantly asking questions as he seeks new ways to improve his game.\n\n“He constantly wants to learn, which, especially as a catcher, is great to see at a young age,” Jefferies said. “I’ve interacted with college guys that aren’t as mature as him. I think that speaks a lot to his family and his upbringing.”\n\nThere are few flaws that come with a prospect with such impressive credentials like Soderstrom, who was named the 2020 Gatorade California Baseball Player of the Year for 2019-20 and was considered by most draft experts as the top prep catcher in the 2020 MLB Draft. But there was one knock on him going in, as scouts questioned whether he would remain a catcher as a professional due to concerns about his defense behind the plate.","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8":{"contentDate":"2020-08-01T21:05:43.919Z","description":"2020 MLB.com Top Prospects: Tyler Soderstrom is an athletic, left-handed-hitting catcher who makes loud contact at the dish","duration":"00:00:43","slug":"top-prospects-soderstrom-c-oak","source":null,"tags":[{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.0","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.1","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.2","typename":"Tag"}],"templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/{formatInstructions}/mlb/kuxzggwilr59bt9wbczr","title":"Top Prospects: Soderstrom, C, OAK","type":"video","url":"/video/top-prospects-soderstrom-c-oak","__typename":"Video"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.0":{"slug":"teamid-133","title":"Oakland Athletics","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.1":{"slug":"mlb-top-prospects","title":"MLB Top Prospects","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.2":{"slug":"playerid-691016","title":"Tyler Soderstrom","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.9":{"content":"While it is clear that Soderstrom’s bat is ahead of his glove, the backstop has worked extensively with A’s bullpen coach Marcus Jensen to change that narrative this spring. Soderstrom admitted his blocking needed some work upon being drafted. However, after making strides both at the alternate site last year and early on this spring, he now feels confident in that aspect of his game.\n\n“Right now, I feel super good. I feel like I can hang with anyone right now,” Soderstrom said of his defensive improvement. “My defense has definitely taken a big step and I’m excited to show everyone, because I know I’ve gotten some knocks there.”\n\nExpected to get some playing time in the upcoming Cactus League schedule -- which opens on Sunday against the Dodgers at Hohokam Stadium -- Soderstrom aims to leave his mark by the time the A’s head back to Oakland.\n\n“I just want to learn as much as I can, both defensively and offensively,” Soderstrom said. “I also want to leave a good impression on these guys and show them what I’m all about.”","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0.data":{"__typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0.data","typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"externalSourceName":null,"slug":"storytype-article","title":"Article","type":"article","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1.data":{"__typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tyler-soderstrom-looks-to-impress-a-s\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1.data","typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"externalSourceName":"customentity.contributor","slug":"martin-gallegos","title":"Martin

MESA, Ariz. -- Most young players tend to be seen but not heard when going through their first big league camp.

For a 19-year-old who was just drafted last year, Soderstrom, ranked as the A's No. 3 prospect by MLB Pipeline, appears to be relaxed and loose in his early interactions with the Major League roster as a non-roster invite. The left-handed-hitting catcher selected 26th overall out of Turlock High School by Oakland in the 2020 MLB Draft blends right in, whether it be chatting up the older players in the clubhouse or putting on a show during batting practice at team workouts.

“When I was 18 years old, I was afraid to talk to anybody on a big league roster,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “He seems to be really comfortable. He’s comfortable when he talks to me. I guess when you’re good, you have some confidence in being around the guys.

“Very rarely do you see a guy that young that seems to be that much comfortable around these guys right now, and he certainly is confident any time he steps in the box.”

The pedigree of Soderstrom might suggest that he knew what to expect coming into his first big league camp. His father, Steve, was selected sixth overall by the Giants in the 1993 MLB Draft. His brother, Tate, is currently playing college ball at the University of Arizona as a junior.

In joining the A’s organization, Soderstrom has come full circle with fellow top prospect Daulton Jefferies. The 25-year-old right-hander began to utilitze Soderstrom’s father as a pitching coach at the age of 9. At the time, Jefferies recalled a young Tyler hanging around during pitching sessions. As the catcher got older, the two became offseason throwing partners when Jefferies was drafted by the A’s in 2016.

“I remember seeing Tyler as this little runt of a kid with super blonde hair just running around with his brother,” Jefferies said. “He caught my bullpens when he was in high school and now he has the same uniform on as me. I think it’s really awesome.”

A’s officials quickly noticed Soderstrom’s supreme strike zone recognition and raw power while he got some work in with some of the club’s top Minor Leaguers at the A’s alternate training site in San Jose last year. Through the early part of Spring Training, those tools continue to stand out.

But something else stands out about Soderstrom, perhaps even more than the pop in his bat. The young catcher is thirsty for knowledge, constantly asking questions as he seeks new ways to improve his game.

“He constantly wants to learn, which, especially as a catcher, is great to see at a young age,” Jefferies said. “I’ve interacted with college guys that aren’t as mature as him. I think that speaks a lot to his family and his upbringing.”

There are few flaws that come with a prospect with such impressive credentials like Soderstrom, who was named the 2020 Gatorade California Baseball Player of the Year for 2019-20 and was considered by most draft experts as the top prep catcher in the 2020 MLB Draft. But there was one knock on him going in, as scouts questioned whether he would remain a catcher as a professional due to concerns about his defense behind the plate.

While it is clear that Soderstrom’s bat is ahead of his glove, the backstop has worked extensively with A’s bullpen coach Marcus Jensen to change that narrative this spring. Soderstrom admitted his blocking needed some work upon being drafted. However, after making strides both at the alternate site last year and early on this spring, he now feels confident in that aspect of his game.

“Right now, I feel super good. I feel like I can hang with anyone right now,” Soderstrom said of his defensive improvement. “My defense has definitely taken a big step and I’m excited to show everyone, because I know I’ve gotten some knocks there.”

Expected to get some playing time in the upcoming Cactus League schedule -- which opens on Sunday against the Dodgers at Hohokam Stadium -- Soderstrom aims to leave his mark by the time the A’s head back to Oakland.

“I just want to learn as much as I can, both defensively and offensively,” Soderstrom said. “I also want to leave a good impression on these guys and show them what I’m all about.”

When Mark Titus and I started The People’s Sports Podcast six months ago, we did so with one goal: to have fun. 

It was the height of the pandemic and everything felt bleak. The country was reeling from fighting an invisible virus, systemic racism, and an economic collapse. The sports world reflected all of it under a glaringly bright light, and both Mark and I knew how important it was to address these issues. We were lucky to be able to do so in our daily work, but we missed the lightness that sports — when times aren’t so dire — can provide.

So we thought, what if we carved out an hour every week to be supremely silly?

What started as a very simple premise has grown into a show that’s become the highlight of my week (I can’t speak for Mark, Ohio State has a really good basketball team this year). PSP is somehow exactly what we set out to create: a remarkably dumb space where we start talking about one topic in sports and end up down a rabbit hole about skyscrapers, Australian animals that can kill you, or the worst sailboat in history.

This week, thanks to our producers and the amazing social media team here at Fox Sports, we launched social media handles for the show. It turns out that it doesn’t always make sense to tweet a clip of Mark and me making goat sounds from an official Fox Sports account, so we made a space where all of it can live.

That’s right, folks: follow @peoplessports on Twitter and @peoplessportspodcast on Instagram and Facebook! This way you can see how red my face turns when I can’t explain the rules of hockey, instead of just hearing about it. 

We’ve also expanded to two shows a week. So many listeners sent in notes to thepeoplessportspodcast@gmail.com that I couldn’t read them all on the show (Mark doesn’t know how to use email) without making it three-hours long. So now, every Monday we go through the corrections, anecdotes, and roasts that The People send us. 

Please write in to tell us everything we got wrong. There’s usually a lot of material to work with. 

With all of that housekeeping taken care of, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite moments from the show in a shameless attempt to get you to subscribe to it and become one of The People. If anything, you’ll leave knowing you’re smarter than we sound. You might even get a laugh or two out of it.

1. That time we made goat sounds during our GOAT GOAT episode.

I wasn’t kidding. For Super Bowl week, Mark and I compiled our list of the GOAT GOAT debates. Is it MJ vs. LeBron? The Stones vs. the Beatles? The Hulu Fyre Fest documentary vs. the Netflix Fyre Fest documentary?

Also, here’s a clip of the moment that will haunt me for the rest of my life. 

 2. The time I looked at every picture from Nick Saban’s daughter’s wedding

 Look, we’ve all been there, okay?*

*Ed note: We have not all been there. 

Similarly, here’s an equally dumb story about applying for a job that I SUPER didn’t get.

3. The time Mark and Tate Frazier helped me become a Virginia fan.

 Chris Long also joined us to explain the ins and outs of UVA fandom.

4. The time we came up with a billion dollar idea.

Can someone get Marc Cuban on the phone? Thanks. 

5. That time we put together the most epic WWE survivor teams.

Thanks to our colleague Ryan Satin for his patience. 

Please subscribe to The People’s Sports Podcast wherever you get your shows. We’re very humbled that anyone chooses to hang out with us each week, and grateful for the chance to crack ourselves up. Fingers crossed that we might bring you a little bit of joy, too.

What It’s Like to Work With a Matchmaker - The New York Times

with.indah.link

With television shows like “Million Dollar Matchmaker” and “Indian Matchmaking,” and a pandemic that has made it harder for singles to meet organically, matchmaking is hot again. “There used to be this stigma around it,” said Eddie Hernandez, an online dating consultant in San Francisco. “Now a lot more people are asking me about it.”

And it’s not just the demand for matchmaking services that has gone up; there are also more companies on offer. “I would say there are double the number in the Bay Area alone from five years ago,” he added. “I get pitches from new ones all the time, and they are getting very specific. They say, ‘I am a Jewish matchmaker, I am an Indian matchmaker.’”

Some matchmakers charge a hefty sum — some require $100,000, or even $250,000 — but the industry, as a whole, lacks transparency. Many matchmakers either don’t have or won’t share statistics on their success rates. It’s common not to provide references, citing a need to protect privacy. The companies generally aren’t listed on review sites like Yelp. “When there are reviews, it’s hard to tell what is honest and what is not,” said Mr. Hernandez. “A lot of the authors are people a matchmaker asked to be in their database for free, rather than being a paying client, and that is a very different experience.”

We interviewed a few singles across North America who have used matchmakers. We asked them what they paid, what they got for their money, and how the service worked. Could they negotiate their fees? Did they get the type of matches they were asking for? Would they recommend the service to a friend? Here are edited versions of five conversations, including some comments and responses from the matchmakers.

Matchmaker: The Social: Modern Matchmaking.

Fee: $2,500 for six months. There is no guaranteed number of dates. (“My pricing is pretty flexible depending on what a client is looking for, how many dates they want to go on and how much coaching they need,” said Abby Rosenblum, the founder of the company.)

Time Period: August through the present.

Why a matchmaker? I had been doing a lot of online dating that hadn’t resulted in anything. My hope was that a matchmaker could find me a different crowd, and because of the financial investment required, the men would be committed to finding a partner.

How did you find your matchmaker? I went to a meet-up online about how to improve your online dating profile, and the woman presenting was a matchmaker. We had an initial conversation, and she seemed to be open and accepting; we had a good rapport. I asked to speak to a past client who didn’t find her match; I needed to know that, if it didn’t work out, the money would still be worth it. She connected me with one.

How does the dating part work? She sends a text to both of us saying meet at this location at this time. We don’t get pictures before the date. I find it helpful not to have any preconceived notions.

How have they been? I’ve been on six dates. None of them have felt like a waste of time; they are all people who want to find a partner. On one date I was a little confused because he was outside of the age range I gave. When we talked about it later my matchmaker convinced me to be open-minded about age. I am in the process of setting up a second date with one match.

Is it worth the money? I’m benefiting from some of her other offerings. For example, she set me up with a wingman, basically a fake date who gave me feedback. He pointed out that I had my arms crossed, and I wasn’t necessarily expressing some of the sensual energy a male would want to receive. That perspective is worth the money. My expectation is that this is more about personal growth than finding a match.

Matchmaker: Ambiance Matchmaking.

Fee: $15,000 for 12 matches in one year. (Taylor Wade, a founder and the creative director of the company, said: “That was 2020 pricing. We have different customized programs as clients’ needs vary.” The 2021 prices vary from $25,000 to $100,000 based on how many matches requested and the locations you choose to date.)

Time Period: September 2020 through the present.

Why a matchmaker? I am getting fewer online matches during the pandemic. Someone on Reddit mentioned this matchmaking service, so I decided to look into it.

Did you do research before signing? I looked at other services, and I saw that the prices were in the same ballpark. The price range I saw was $500 to $1,500 per match, and typically it would be one match a month. So I decided to go with the one that I had a recommendation for. They also had reviews on Yelp that seemed pretty positive.

What were your first impressions? I applied, and their first response was they weren’t sure they could find matches for my age in my area. They said if I was willing to look for matches in the Bay Area, they could find more people. I said OK. My location is more flexible now that remote forever is becoming a thing.

I did successfully negotiate though. I told them I would pay for three matches upfront, and then the other nine after that if I was happy. (Ms. Wade said negotiation is not typical. “We customized this program for this client as he had very unique specifications that were above and beyond normal matchmaking requirements.”)

How is it going? The quality of the matches has been notably better than matches from Tinder. I went on three dates with my first match after deciding we didn’t have enough mutual interests to continue the relationship.

The only requirement I gave my matchmaker (aside from the standard red flags) is that the woman should have an interest in video games and Animae. The first match had weak interest; the second, none at all. My matchmaker asked me if there were niche communities out there where she could find people. I was fine with that, because I know this world better. Messaging strangers in a subreddit is not something I want to do, but I am fine with her doing it.

Any worries? My contract says I am supposed to go on one date per month, but I went on one in September, one in November, and none since. They give me updates that they are searching for people. I think after three or four months if there was not much explanation to why I have no dates, that would start being unreasonable.

Is the money worth it? The real question is how much time I would spend without using this service looking for a date. I estimate that to be 50 hours, so I am willing to spend a thousand dollars per date to not have to do that work.

(Because of various circumstances, including pandemic-related issues and Mr. Drissi’s expected move to San Francisco, candidates for a third date are now being screened, “now that we know where he will be based,” Ms. Wade said. “If a match isn’t made, for whatever reason, we always make it up to the client. His contract states that his agreement may extend beyond three months at no additional cost if his three matches have not been completed.”)

Matchmaker: Friend of a Friend Matchmaking.

Fee: $250 (Canadian dollars) for three dates over a year.

Time Period: 2017-2018.

How did you decide on your matchmaker? I looked into high-end matchmaking services, but they seemed wildly expensive. My concern would be that the women who sign up for a service like that would be used to a crazy, lavish lifestyle, and that’s probably not someone I am compatible with.

Friend of a Friend was owned by someone I tangentially knew through social media, and I knew people who had found matches through it. I also liked that she was someone local with local connections who was just trying to be a yenta.

How did the company get to know you? There was an intake form, and then I met one of her staff at a local coffee shop. We talked for hours.

Did you find somebody? The introductions were better than the average Tinder match. One girl I went on a date or two. Another I went on five or six dates. But they all fizzled out.

Would you use a matchmaker again? I don’t have the confidence that a second try would result in a better outcome. I might get three more above average prospects, but I am not looking for that. I am looking for “the one.” I’m convinced a matchmaker has the same chance of finding me that person as a mutual friend who also knows people I don’t know.

Were you disappointed in the outcome? I didn’t have the highest expectations, and for the amount of money I paid, I felt like it was very low stakes. I think if I was spending a lot more money I would feel differently.

Matchmaker: It’s Just Lunch

Fee: $1,000. The service said the time period can vary from 3 to 12 months.

Time Period: January through the present.

How did you find this matchmaker? My brother signed me up as a gift. He first signed me up for a Jewish dating service.I heard it was for religious Jews, but they promised they could find me someone less observant. When all the matches were kosher and super, super conservative I freaked out and got my brother a refund. It’s Just Lunch is my second attempt with matchmaking. (Note: Maggie did not give her last name because her work with the matchmaker is ongoing.)

I told a representative from the service my dating history and what I was looking for. Then they assigned me to a matchmaker. Usually you get three dates in person, but because of Covid, they are also offering unlimited Zoom dates.

How was your first Zoom date? I stressed to them that I needed someone outgoing, but my first date was someone who was shy, which was the exact opposite. I wish they would give us an icebreaker, maybe 10 questions to ask each other.

I also told my matchmaker I wanted a guy who likes to ski or snowboard. But when she set me up on this date, and I asked if he skis, she said, “I don’t know. I didn’t ask him.”

What happened after the date? When the date was over they ask you to send in a form about how things went. Initially they told me they would pass along the feedback he had for me, but when I asked for it, my matchmaker said it was confidential.

I really want the feedback, because I don’t normally get second dates when I go out with people. I feel like there is some sort of vibe I am putting out there, and I would very much like to nip that in the bud.

It took them a few weeks to schedule the second date. It feels like they set me up with this shy guy because they don’t have that many other options.

(Jeaneen Bengston, a spokeswoman for the service said: “We do request feedback from our clients after every date. We do not share date feedback with the match. We use the feedback to refine the matching process and provide dating coaching to our clients.”)

What would success look like? If I end up seeing someone out of this. It’s tough right now because I am not really seeing people, and every time I go on Bumble I get discouraged. So this feels like my last-ditch effort. I am trying to stay positive, but I am also not really getting my hopes up from what I’ve seen so far.

Matchmaker: Selective Search

Fee: $25,000 for a year. She gets four in-person dates. (Barbie Adler, the founder of the company, said memberships begin at $25,000, but vary based on the specific needs of each client and the complexity of the search.)

Timing: January 2018 to May 2020. She paid for two years.

Why did you turn to a matchmaker? I felt I needed a quality person to share my life with, and I felt like I needed to engage a professional to help me accomplish that. I didn’t want to leave it to chance, and I recognize men in my age bracket tend to go for much younger women. I told myself it may or may not work, but I owe myself to at least try. (Note: Susan did not give her last name because of privacy concerns.)

Why this one? I signed up with another matchmaking company earlier, but I thought it was a bit of a scam because they took my money, made all kinds of promises, but never delivered. They presented the names of gentlemen, but none were even close to the type of person I was looking for. After that I knew I needed to up my game.

Selective Search costs way more than the other company, but there is a saying, you get what you pay for. I liked that the founder used to be an executive recruiter. I figured she knew how to find people.

What were the first steps? The company’s vice president of client relations flew to my city to have lunch with me, and we spoke for four hours. They told me up front it would be two to three months before I had my first date. They had to do due diligence and do the research. I also had to get a professional headshot, and we even went over outfit options.

How were the quality of the dates? Over two years I received 21 profiles of gentlemen, and I met eight in person. Everyone was educated, professional, the right age group. It was the personal connection you cannot vouch for. I flew to Houston to meet one man. He had impeccable credentials; he went to Harvard and MIT and was a successful businessman, but he had an ego taller than the Empire State Building. I went to Washington D.C., to meet another, but he didn’t know what he wanted.

My matchmaker was very methodical, and she had a pipeline. When I met someone, and it fell through, it didn’t take her very long to get to the next one.

Date 8, who I started talking to in June 2020, I knew was going to work right away. He lives about three miles from my house, but we never would have met. Our social circles were completely separate. Now we are on the path to marriage.

Matchmaker: Matchmaking by Leslie

Fee: She paid $450 to get six dates within a year. He did not pay. (The service now charges $600 for six dates plus a $50 consultation fee for the first meeting.)

Time Period: July 2013

How did you find your matchmaker? I had been divorced about a year earlier, and I was ready to start dating. Leslie Cohen Fargotstein, the matchmaker, is a friend of mine and she was over at my house, telling me about her business plan and all the ideas she had. I said, “Sign me up, I’ll be your first client.” She had no track record, but she was always talking about love and how she wanted to bring it to people.

Note: Ms. Feinstone and Mr. Cohen met in August 2013 and married in November 2017. Mr. Cohen already knew of the matchmaker, who is not related to him, because her husband had been the coach of his son’s youth baseball team.

How does the dating part work? She told me that she knew the perfect guy for me, but he had only been divorced a few months and was not ready to date. She thought he was perfect for me though, so she arranged a scenario where we could meet. She invited both of us, along with another couple, to a performance at B.B. King’s on Beale Street. We hit it off enough to go to dinner the next week. He was my first match, and I didn’t go on another date after that.

“She really worked every angle,” said Mr. Cohen of their matchmaker. “She arranged a way where I would feel safe to meet someone new. She read the situation right and made it happen.”

Was it love at first sight? I told Leslie at the beginning that if I am going to do this, I am going to be open and listen to what you say. I think if I would have just gone on one date with Barry, we wouldn’t have gotten married. We were both so nervous. She said I have to go on at least three, maybe four dates to really get to know him, and it was around date four that we really got comfortable with each other and had a real conversation.

“It took us a while to get real with each other,” said Mr. Cohen.

Would you recommend it to others? I gave my friend a matchmaking session for her birthday.

Mr. Cohen said open-mindedness is key. “You can’t say I want someone this height or with this hair, because your search will be too narrow. You also have to trust your matchmaker,” he said. “I think if it’s a dating service that just makes matches from an algorithm, it wouldn’t have worked.”

Would you have met otherwise? Our paths would have never crossed. Barry’s company is in Boston and he travels a lot.

“I am sure we would have never met,” said Mr. Cohen. “But I’m so glad we did, because we are very happy.”

Blazers Finish Trip 0-3 With Loss To Lakers - Trailblazers.com

with.indah.link

LOS ANGELES -- After going a perfect 3-0 on their previous road trip, the Portland Trail Blazers wrapped up a 0-3 road trip with a 102-93 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night at Staple Center.

“I don’t know if there’s a common thread among these last three games,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “But tonight, they gave Dame a lot of attention, we didn’t shoot the ball particularly well from three, which we have relied on, we’ve had a couple poor shooting quarters. Our turnovers gave us trouble in the third quarter, which led to their transition.”

The Trail Blazers are now 18-14 overall and 10-8 on the road this season. The loss extends their losing streak to four games, their longest dry spell of the season thus far, and ends a four-game losing streak for the Lakers.

“I think the level of competition has been a little bit more stiff,” said Damian Lillard. “The three home games and the three game trip that we went on were all teams in the same boat as us, fighting for a spot in the Western Conference. A lot of talent, just not the same amount of experience. We were the more experienced team in those games and we were able to pull out tight games, because of our experience. Then you fast forward to the Phoenix game, Denver game and then tonight, it was just experience.”

After a first quarter in which they shot 50 percent from the field and led by as many as 11, the Trail Blazers had little success putting the ball in the basket in the remaining three quarters. Usually holding an opponent to 42 percent shooting from the field and 26 percent shooting from three would be good enough to keep a game close, but not against the Lakers Friday night.

Portland took a three-point lead into the half, but between turning the ball over seven times for 14 Lakers points and shooting just 1-of-4 from three in the third, they would be outscored by 12 in the quarter. The Blazers cleaned up the turnovers in the fourth, but with Lillard drawing double teams consistently and the rest of the team struggling to get shots to fall, a comeback never seemed feasible, let alone likely.

“Tonight was about our offense,” said Stotts. “There’s always room to improve defensively but tonight was about our offense. Lakers did a really good job of being aggressive on us, created turnovers in the third quarter and we weren’t able to capitalize on some of the looks that we did have.”

Lillard led the Blazers with 35 points, seven assists and three rebounds in 42 minutes. Gary Trent. Jr. finished with 19 points. Enes Kanter added 11 points and 17 rebounds in 35 minutes and Derrick Jones Jr. contributed 11 points, six rebounds, two blocks, two assists and a steal.

LeBron James led the Lakers with 28 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three blocks in 35 minutes. Dennis Schroder had 22 points and Montrezl Harrell scored 17 points off the bench.

Now the the Trail Blazers return home to play the last three games of the first half of their 2020-21 schedule, starting with a tilt Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets.

“We’ve lost four in a row, we’re coming home, we need to gain some momentum going into the break,” said Stotts. “I’m really confident about our group and how they compete and how important it is, so I don’t think we need to belabor the point. We know that these three games are important going into the break.”

Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
