“With Micker, he’s been limited with injuries,” Getz said. “He did well at the alternate site. I saw him, personally, drive the ball to right-center and center field, and if he stays with that approach, we’re really going to be able to tap into the power that he naturally has, which is his strength.
That’s a good question and I imagine first-year defensive coordinator Sean Desai has spent a ton of time on that this offseason. If I had to guess right now, Desmond Trufant, who has battled injuries the last two seasons, and Kindle Vildor are the top options to start at cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson, whose rookie season in 2020 ended prematurely with a shoulder issue. You’re right that Jackson needs to bounce back and that there are legitimate questions about the nickel position. The Bears did re-sign strong safety Tashaun Gipson, who was steady in his first season with the team, so there will be chemistry between him and Jackson. You make another good point that the pass rush needs to improve in 2021 too. While a ton of focus is justifiably on the offense, there are issues to be sorted out on defense.
While some stadiums around the nation are open at full capacity, the White Sox, Cubs and Fire are capped at 25% of capacity for the time being to stay within city health guidelines. The Blackhawks also were allowed 25% for their final two games at the United Center, while the Bulls welcomed back fans Friday and have three home games remaining. The Sky, who play at Wintrust Arena, expect to admit 10% to 15% of capacity to begin this season, while the Red Stars, who play in Bridgeview, will have fans but haven’t announced details.
“The SWAT team responded to a commercial building for a call of approximately four males with guns,” a police statement said. “A group of people were having a gathering in one of the rooms inside the building” on its third floor, when someone in the room, “called for police after stating they observed individuals with guns outside the door.”
Mercedes became a huge bright spot by making his major league debut at age 28 and cranked out five hits and drove in four runs against the Los Angeles Angels in a 12-8 victory on April 2. He became the first player in the modern era to go 5-for-5 to begin a season. In 1933, Cecil Travis had five hits against Cleveland, but he had seven at-bats in that contest.
In turn, the number of individuals providers can support is also limited by state funding. The result is a list of 7,400 adults who are waiting for access to community programs, which include group homes, job coaching and in-home support. The waiting list is expected to be reduced by about 1,600 in the coming fiscal year, leaving 5,800 adults seeking services, DHS spokeswoman Marisa Kollias said.
Foley, who called Hawks road games on NBC Sports Chicago remotely from Chicago rather than travel with the team this season, per NHL pandemic protocols, said he would have struggled to adhere to restrictions imposed on players and personnel on the road.
Westbrook completed his 182nd triple-double when he pulled down a rebound with 8:29 remaining. The nine-time All-Star and 2016-17 MVP finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 21 assists, carrying the load for a Wizards team that was missing Bradley Beal, the league’s No. 2 scorer.
Yet the tower is no garish exercise in the McBuilding style of architecture, no fast food for the eyes. On the contrary, it is a softly shimmering structure that takes on a surreal appearance during most hours of the day, except when a rising or setting sun sets its reflective glass sides ablaze. This shifting, ephemeral quality is most pronounced when seen from a moving car. Viewed from a stationary vantage point, the tower assumes a still-pleasing, if sharper, focus.
