In denying the order after a four-day hearing, Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman said that according to the 27-year-old San Diego woman’s testimony, Bauer followed her boundaries when she set them, and he couldn’t know the boundaries she didn’t express to him.
Lynn’s personality meshes perfectly with Sox fans. He spews profanities walking off the mound as if it’s an art form. He called himself a “big (bleep)” during a conference call, and defended Yermín Mercedes in the “unwritten rules” controversy, even while La Russa was the one on the other side of the issue. He signed a two-year, $38 million extension with an option to stay on the South Side, likely costing himself several million on the free-agent market. And he’s got a big belly, which Sox fans have always appreciated in a player.
Riley Ridley, the outside receiver on that side, is aiming to get an outside release against cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, hoping to get him to turn his head away from you. Ridley is running a go route, but, as Bears coach Matt Nagy often says, he’s mostly a decoy “running for the joy of the game.”
“I wrote on my card, I think I wrote, ‘amazing, amazing escapes,’ ” La Russa said. “He is just never going to quit competing. Never. No matter what the odds are, no matter what the situation is. He just competes, competes — and he’s got a lot to compete with. Those were really quality hitters.

“I went up to (Goodwin) and he was OK, he understands and he was dealing with it,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday. “A lot of teammates reached out to him. You see it happen. It’s just like when somebody gets beaned, nobody likes it and everybody’s concerned. The game goes on, but in Brian’s case, if you’re a pitcher and you threw the ball and you bean somebody, you have some kind of accountability there. But for a hitter, you just hit it, you can’t aim it. It’s somewhat different.”
Hermosillo’s season has been a contrast of consistency on the field for Iowa — from his mindset, approach, the work he put in and production — and inconsistency with injuries. He broke his right hand in late March when a car pulled out in front of him as he left the Cubs complex in Mesa, Ariz., sidelining him until the beginning of June. Then, when he appeared to be on the cusp of a call-up, Hermosillo strained his right hamstring and went on the Triple-A injured list July 23, causing him to miss 17 days.
The incident comes 31 years after Morris, during his playing days, told a young female reporter that he “only talks to women when I’m naked if they are on top of me or I’m on top of them.” Morris, who was not naked at the time, was defended by then-team President Bo Schembechler, who blamed the Detroit Free Press for sending a female reporter into the clubhouse.
“We want you to know we have complied 100% with the NCAA, been very collaborative in our approach with them in terms of all of their investigation,” Alberts said. “We will continue to do whatever the NCAA has asked us to do. Our coaches, including coach Frost, have done a great job and have been very accessible in working with the NCAA as we’ve worked through these allegations.”
“He was pissed off at some of the throws,” Nagy said. “I didn’t think offensively we had a very good day. We were able to watch the film last night, go through it and correct it and see why, so, for us, we’ve got to be smart. It doesn’t makes sense right now to push the limits with him and make it (groin) more sore.”
