Why Chicago Cubs manager David Ross continues to stick with Ian Happ in the No. 3 spot

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:15 GMT

Nearly every iteration of the Chicago Cubs lineup over the last seven weeks has featured the same player in the No. 3 spot.Left fielder Ian Happ has been a staple in the middle of the order for manager David Ross as the Cubs (67-61) fought their way back to .500 and are currently third in the National League wild-card position after Friday’s 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Happ’s offensive numbers are more in line with his 2021 season than the stellar 2022 performance that earned him his first All-Star Game honor and a Gold Glove award.Through the ups and downs of Happ’s offensive production, Ross has stuck with him in the three-spot. Happ has batted third in 100 of his 123 starts, including in 40 of his last 42. During that stretch, dating to July 6, he is hitting .214 with a .315 on-base percentage while slugging .428. Since then as a team, the Cubs lead the majors in runs, rank fourth in wOBA and slugging percentage, and tied for fifth in wRC+.Ross cited mul...

Kyle Bradish blossoming into Orioles’ much-needed ace: ‘He’s a No. 1′

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:15 GMT

When Aaron Hicks joined the Orioles after several years with the New York Yankees, the veteran outfielder was grateful for the opportunity a new organization would give him. He was also thankful he no longer had to step in the batter’s box against Kyle Bradish.“He looked at Bradish,” Baltimore catcher James McCann recalled, “and he’s like, ‘That’s the guy that I don’t want to face. There’s a lot of good arms on this team, but that’s the guy.’“The weapons he has to put you away with, it’s safe to say he’s a No. 1.”The Orioles fell short in their pursuits of an ace this offseason and at the trade deadline, but it turns out they did acquire a top-of-the-rotation starter — in 2019.Bradish was considered the centerpiece among the four minor league pitchers Baltimore acquired in the December 2019 deal that sent starting pitcher Dylan Bundy to the Los Angeles Angels. But there were doubts in the...

Bob Raissman: How does the YES Network go about promoting this ‘disaster’ of a Yankees team?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:15 GMT

The Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network has been blessed.Since YES launched in 2002, the Bombers have only missed the playoffs four times (2008, 2013, 2014, 2016). That statistic does not yet include what has become The Fiasco of 2023. The after-shock of this miserable Yankees season will be felt well into winter.Every business under the organization’s umbrella will have to deal with the fallout and ramifications of a season recently described by general manager Brian Cashman as “a disaster.”Including YES.If the rest of this season continues at disastrous levels, what exactly does YES have to sell going into 2024? Considering Hal Steinbrenner has decided to pop the pinstriped hood and look under it before making any moves, YES (and the Yankees for that matter) cannot even sell “hope.”Unless, of course, YES wants to go with a slogan like: “Watch Yankees’ baseball, only on YES. It can’t be any worse than last season. Can it?”W...

Editorial: The South Siders are considering pulling up stakes and heading out of town. Et tu, White Sox?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:15 GMT

For those with time to waste, the ongoing series of “joint statements” attributed to Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren offer a summertime diversion.Consider this gem from June: “Today we met and discussed our shared values and commitment to the city of Chicago, the importance of deep roots and the need for equitable community investment throughout the city.”Take that in for a moment: A team moving to Arlington Heights, at least until Arlington Heights taxpayers resisted being taken to the financial cleaners, has the gall to talk, and then talk some more, about the importance of “shared values” and “deep roots.” Unbelievable.Are you seriously thinking of staying, Bears? Then spit it out. And tell Arlington Heights what’s up.But even while all that hypocritical nonsense still has to play out through “productive conversations,” yada, yada, we now have to worry afresh about the Chicago White S...

Russia’s Wagner mercenaries face uncertainty after the presumed death of their leader in plane crash

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:25:15 GMT

The Wagner Group’s presence extends from the ancient battlegrounds of Syria to the deserts of sub-Saharan Africa, projecting the Kremlin’s global influence with mercenaries accused of using brutal force and profiting from seized mineral riches.But that was under Yevgeny Prigozhin, who in what may have been his final recruitment video, appeared in military fatigues and held an assault rifle from an unidentified dry and dusty plain as he boasted that Wagner was “making Russia even greater on all continents and Africa even more free.”A private jet carrying Prigozhin and his top lieutenants crashed northwest of Moscow on Wednesday, two months after he led an armed rebellion that challenged the authority of Russian President Vladimir Putin. There is wide speculation that the mercenary leader, who is presumed dead, was targeted for assassination because of his uprising, although the Kremlin has denied involvement.The crash has raised questions about the future of PrigozhinR...
