“The way it’s turned out, the experience they’ve had (in the bullpen), I don’t hesitate. It’s just who’s available that day,” La Russa said before Monday’s doubleheader. “José Ruiz has done really well.

“People feel very entitled out here,” said Irving, who played for the Celtics from 2017 to 2019 and said last week he experienced racism during his time in the city. “As a Black man playing in the NBA, dealing with a lot of this stuff, it’s fairly difficult. You never know what’s going to happen. It’s just unacceptable for that stuff to be happening. But we move on.”
Rep. Tom Demmer, a Dixon Republican, called the package “a great initiative” that, in addition to encouraging people to get vaccinated, would “support the food and beverage industry, restaurants and bars, that were so dramatically impacted over the course of the last year and are now starting to open their doors to invite people back.”
The schedule in June is much more unrelenting. In addition to this 17-game stretch, they also face the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have the third-best record in the NL, and the Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee Brewers, teams also fighting for playoff positioning.
