“It shows his toughness,” Sox shortstop Tim Anderson said Monday. “He showed what kind of guy he is, what kind of teammate, what kind of player he is. To be able to go back out there after taking that type of hit, a great example, a great message to send to the rest of the team.”
“In order to maintain a successful Thoroughbred racing industry in New York, NYRA must protect the integrity of the sport for our fans, the betting public, and racing participants,” NYRA president and CEO Dave O’Rourke said in a statement. “That responsibility demands the action taken today in the best interests of Thoroughbred racing.”
It wasn’t a hard decision to take the vaccine, Báez said, because he has two young sons, Adrián, who turns three next month, and six-month-old Aiden. Báez inherently spends time around a lot of people because of what his job entails. Deciding to be vaccinated was a collective decision with his wife, Irmarie, who shared in an Instagram story this past week that she got her second shot.
The possibility of going out together after a game or simply hanging with a teammate playing video games in a hotel room were supposed to be the inducements appealing to any young player in his 20′s or 30′s. While there was no real stick — or punishment — for not reaching the 85% threshold, obviously teams that keep the status quo would have the same COVID-19 restrictions in place, possibly for the remainder of the year.
The Marlins are set to debut their red jerseys — with blue and white accents — Friday against the New York Mets. The team will wear the uniforms throughout the weekend, including the Cuban Heritage Night at loanDepot park on Saturday. Inverting the colors of the classic white and red Sugar Kings’ pinstripe jersey, the uniform will also feature font and numbers blending the past, present and future of Latin America’s baseball and cultural influence, according to a Marlins press release.
“I just did so much better job moving in and out, changing speeds and staying out of the way,” Hendricks said. “I made a lot more good pitches today, felt so much more like myself. Out front, really getting my fastball down with sink, especially my glove side. So once I have that, then I can move the ball around like I like normally do and you get some calls like that.”
“I love to see wins like this: close games. It’s playoff baseball, in a sense. You’re going to see their best out of the pen. You’re going to see that starter go deep into the game, and how you react is what will play in October. If you continue to grind, continue to go out there and be productive and have a no-give-in attitude, wash this game and go on to the next, it shows the character of the clubhouse.”
By tipoff Sunday, both teams had nothing to play for. The Bulls were eliminated from play-in contention at the start of the weekend, so they sat LaVine, Nikola Vučević, Daniel Theis, Troy Brown Jr. and Tomáš Satoranský. Meanwhile, the Bucks were locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference once the Brooklyn Nets won shortly before the game started, so they pulled their entire starting lineup.
Getting to the No. 8 spot for the play-in round is a massive comeback story for the Wizards, who started the season 0-5 and 3-12, were shut down for two weeks in January for coronavirus-related issues, had to play 38 games in the final 67 days to make up for all of that lost time and were 17-32 early last month.
With Yasmani Grandal at the plate, Davis threw a 1-1 knuckle-curve into the dirt. The ball bounced away but not very far from catcher Cam Gallagher. Abreu sprinted home and slid and avoided Gallagher’s tag. After a review, the call stood as the Sox ended their homestand on a positive note.
