Why Marlins' handling of recent head injuries sends dangerous ... (Fish Stripes)

One of the hottest topics around baseball this season is the frequency at which batters are getting hit by pitches. In 317 MLB games coming into Sunday, ...

I have, however, been hit in the head multiple times and suffered the effects of multiple concussions. At the very least, a player getting hit in the head should require an immediate removal from the game. Is this the message they want to send to those young athletes and others watching at home? The Miami Marlins and Bally Sports Florida feature a “youth player of the game” on each broadcast. It was the fourth time a Mets batter was hit in the first 14 innings of the season. It took until end of the inning for Rojas to be removed from the game. Rojas was visited by head athletic trainer Lee Meyer but allowed to remain in the game. Benches cleared in their second game of the season when Francisco Lindor was hit in the head by a pitch. The Miami Marlins organization is no stranger to head injuries. One part of the catcher’s journey that I touched on was the way Marlins manager Don Mattingly put Cervelli the human above Cervelli the player. I’m here to talk about the way the Miami Marlins are handling head injuries. Two more batters were hit the following night, but a pitch up-and-in to Nolan Arenado was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Sen. Menendez has message for Biden admin on Iran: 'No deal is ... (Fox News)

Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., wants the Biden administration to make sure Iran cannot obtain nuclear weapons, but warned that any new deal with the Islamic ...

"So, from my perspective, unless there are other elements of the deal, that would not be a good deal." The senator said that in order to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, there are three things the U.S. must address. Well, now it's the end of April. And so if the end of February wasn't going to buy us what we need, certainly the end of April is not."

Angels news: Shohei Ohtani's strong message for LA fans after groin ... (ClutchPoints)

Los Angeles Angeles superstar isn't expecting to miss any time after suffering a groin injury against the White Sox on Sunday.

Ohtani was 0-for-3 with an RBI and a walk before his ninth-inning exit against the White Sox, serving as the team’s designated hitter. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to think it’s a major issue, and doesn’t foresee the knock impacting his availability for Monday’s series finale against Chicago. The Angels revealed he was feeling discomfort in his groin, prompting the team to send Jack Mayfield up to pinch-hit for the superstar.

Credit union issues strong message to customers (Mortgage Professional America)

With home values at record levels, untold numbers of homeowners have taken to tapping into their properties' equities for renovations and upgrades to their ...

“I know when I was in school, they didn’t tell us anything about how to save and what bills looked like.” “I had someone recently that had probably over $60,000 in credit card debt, and he had tons of equity in his home. Which isn’t to say refinancing can’t be used for fun stuff – particularly important for the sake of mental well-being after what seemed an interminable period of pandemic forcing physical distancing and disproportionate hours staying indoors at home. “People can tend to be very impulsive,” she told MPA. “I know I’m a very impulsive person and just go and buy. I’m sure, eventually, they will start to go down, but your home is your best asset you have – so being able to use the equity you have in your home for emergencies, a catastrophe that may happen down the road or financial debt.” With home values at record levels, untold numbers of homeowners have taken to tapping into their properties’ equities for renovations and upgrades to their environs.

Dodgers: Former LA Starter Writers Comical Message in Twins Dugout (CalBearsMaven)

Kenta Maeda apologized to his Minnesota teammates in hilarious fashion.

This isn't the first time Kenta has poked fun at himself. I will not be in the dugout today. Whether it's wearing the same glove every game or a special pair of socks, baseball is full of quirky beliefs.

Former LA Starter Writers Comical Message in Twins Dugout (Yardbarker)

Baseball is a sport full of superstitions. Whether it's wearing the same glove every game or a special pair of socks, baseball is full of quirky beliefs.

The team will try to vie for a playoff spot on the strength of a homegrown rotation and one of the youngest rosters in the game. Instead, the team doubled-down on their commitment to Ramirez and signed him to a five-year extension on the eve of Opening Day. The terms of the extension exercise and rework the club option salaries a bit, and amount to Ramirez being owed $141M over the next seven seasons. But this is a team that struggled to win games outside its division last season en route to a 80-82 record, and the matchups within the division only figure to be more difficult this year. Keeping Ramirez in the fold through 2028 is a huge boon to a Guardians lineup that has plenty of options but little certainty in the other eight spots. On the move for the second time in his career, the LSU alum joined the Steelers a few months later. While that came up short of his ratings during his Carolina days, it ranked 31st in the league amongst qualified guards, which should make him at least a serviceable addition to the team’s offense. Calhoun’s demotion was seen as something of a surprise, and it appears as though he sees the move as something of a last straw. The only way to take him off the big league club was to remove him from the 40-man entirely. If he goes out and performs at a high level, there will be an opportunity for him.” This statement doesn’t rule out the possibility of a trade, of course, as it could be that Calhoun’s next “opportunity” could indeed come with another team. It appeared as though Calhoun was on his way to becoming a fixture in the Rangers lineup when he hit .269/.323/.524 with 21 home runs over 337 PA in 2019, but injuries since played a role in his lack of production. Lowry joined the Jets for the 2021 season as an assistant and took over as the team’s head coach after Paul Maurice re-signed back in December. The Jets were 13-11-5 under Maurice and they went 26-22-6 the rest of the way with Lowry. While Lowry had experience as an assistant coach at the NHL level with the Jets, Los Angeles Kings, and Calgary Flames, this was his first head coaching gig in the NHL. His experience as a head coach prior to this gig with the Jets came exclusively in the WHL with the Calgary Hitmen, Victoria Royals, and Brandon Wheat Kings. Kompton, a long-time assistant coach in the NHL, had been with the Jets for six seasons, while Huddy, who won five Stanley Cups as a player, had been with Winnipeg since they relocated from Atlanta in 2011. Long-standing league and franchise records seemed to fall with regularity in the final stages of the season.
