Say cheese: Ohtani body double finds way into Angels’ team photo

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:21 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — It is next to impossible to replace all that Shohei Ohtani can do when standing on a baseball field, although the Los Angeles Angels did their best for a few minutes Tuesday.With Ohtani unavailable for team photo day, as he continues to be examined for oblique soreness that cropped up Monday, the team put a body double in a No. 17 jersey and lined him up in the outfield with the rest of the players.After the photo was completed, the Ohtani imposter was ushered out of a tunnel beyond the left field wall.During his pregame session with the media, Angels manager Phil Nevin was asked if the body double, with a strikingly similar frame to Ohtani, could potentially pitch or hit.“Shohei will be in the photo when you see it,” Nevin said with a smile, suggesting that somebody’s Photoshop skills will be pressed into service.Alas, it could be the only time Ohtani’s No. 17 takes the field Tuesday. He was not in the lineup for the second consecutive day against the Baltimo...

(CNN) — La búsqueda del asesino convicto Danelo Cavalcante, que tiene a las comunidades del sureste de Pensilvania en alerta máxima, reajustó sus esfuerzos después de que el fugitivo fuera visto justo al sur del área de búsqueda original, dijo la Policía del estado este martes.Cavalcante escapó de la prisión del condado de Chester la mañana del jueves 31 de agosto y las autoridades comenzaron a rastrear un área densamente boscosa en el municipio de Pocopson y el condado de Chester a 3 km de la prisión, un área rural a unos 48 km al oeste de Filadelfia.Ahora, la Policía amplió el área después de que una cámara de seguridad captara al recluso la noche de este lunes en un popular jardín botánico que está a casi 5 km de distancia del centro correccional.“Creemos que está justo al sur de ese radio (de búsqueda inicial) y es por eso que, nuevamente, hemos cambiado ese perímetro ahora para incluir esa área”, dijo George Bivens, teniente coronel de la Policía estatal de Pe...

Trump’s comments risk tainting jury pool in federal election subversion case, special counsel says

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:21 GMT

By ERIC TUCKER (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith warned Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s “daily” statements threaten to taint a jury pool in Washington in the criminal case charging him with scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.Trump’s provocative comments about both Smith’s team and U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan — who is presiding over the case — have been a central issue since the indictment was filed last month. Prosecutors have repeatedly signaled their concerns about the impact of Trump’s social media posts and Chutkan explicitly cautioned against inflammatory remarks from Trump that could intimidate witnesses or contaminate potential jurors.The posts continued Tuesday both before and after the latest concern flared, with Trump earlier in the day circulating a New York Post story about Chutkan on his Truth Social platform and openly...

Mets’ youth movement on full display in 11-5 win over Washington Nationals

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:21 GMT

WASHINGTON — The future of the Mets was on display Tuesday night in Washington D.C. Together in a big-league lineup for the first time, Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez, Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio didn’t disappoint as the Mets routed the Washington Nationals, 11-5, win at Nationals Park.The version of Patrick Corbin that pitches for the Nationals (62-77) today isn’t exactly the same one who was a two-time All-Star in Arizona. Still, the Mets (64-74) have played it safe when it comes to Baty and Alvarez facing left-handed pitching at times during the season. It was also a test for the switch-hitting Mauricio. The reigns are off and all of them passed.Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, his 22nd of the season, and three runs scored to come out of his late-summer slump in a big way. Vientos with 1-for-2 with a triple and was hit by two pitches. Baty went 1-for-4 with two RBI and Mauricio went 1-for-4 with one RBI.Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor and Pete Alo...

Column: If the Chicago Cubs make the postseason, who will be the No. 3 starter?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:21 GMT

It’s never too early to start thinking about the postseason rotation, unless of course you’re the one in charge of talking to the media about your October plan.Chicago Cubs manager David Ross doesn’t have to name his three postseason starters for the Wild Card Series until they make it. And it would be crazy for Ross to do otherwise, with 23 games remaining and his team in the thick of both the National League Central race and the wild-card chase.Unless the Cubs clinch a spot before the final week, Ross might need his top starters in the last two series in Atlanta and Milwaukee just to get in.But that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate, so let’s do it.There’s no doubt who Ross’s first two starters would be in the best-of-three series. Justin Steele, a National League Cy Young Award candidate, would be a virtual lock for a Game 1 matchup if the Cubs didn’t need him to get in.Kyle Hendricks, who started Tuesday’s game against th...
