Still, those accidents seem to keep coming.”My friend was today’s declarer at 3NT in a team match.“West led the six of spades,” he told me, “and I had to decide whether to play dummy’s queen or three. When I tried the three, East took the jack and led a club: deuce, king, queen. West then led another spade — queen, king — and back came a second club.”DOWN TWO“I took the ace,” South said, “and had to guess the queen of hearts. I played West for the queen — and went down two.

Is MLB’s pitch clock leading to better defense? Some players and coaches think so

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:39:07 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The pitch clock may be bothering players as they step to the plate, but they like it a whole lot better once they put on their gloves and take the field.While the rule changes put in place this year to speed up the pace of play have garnered plenty of attention for how they’ve affected hitters and pitchers, some players and managers say the new guidelines also are positively impacting defense. The pitch clock in particular — an idea meant to make it easier for fans to stay focused on the field — may be keeping fielders locked in, too.“I think it’s helping defensively a lot, just because you don’t have the down time to really kind of walk around,” said Seattle Mariners second baseman Kolten Wong, a two-time Gold Glove winner. “You’re not cleaning dirt, you’re constantly back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. So, I’m a big fan of it.”The pitch clock adopted this year — along with limits on infield shifts and several other rules — gives pitchers 15 seconds bet...

Heptathlete Anna Hall isn’t one to hold back her emotions. Those grimaces or dances reveal her precise thoughts about a particular jump, throw or run.She’s an open book, too — with her journal. The reigning world bronze medalist encourages her coaches to scan her entries for insight into her workout mindset (the doodles happen to be a nice bonus).The fun-loving, candy-chomping 22-year-old from Colorado who labels herself a “big goofball” is emerging as the next big name in track and field. She might even be the one to break Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s nearly 35-year-old world heptathlon record.“What I see are all the tools to rewrite the record books,” Joyner-Kersee said in a phone interview on the eve of the U.S. championships that start Thursday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. “You’re seeing greatness in motion without even knowing the greatness is before you, because of her natural ability. When you see Anna compete, she competes with joy.”She may even have with her a packag...
