Rule against blocking the plate leading to outs becoming runs even without a collision

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:46:31 GMT

As former big league catchers, Bob Melvin and Bruce Bochy certainly had their share of plays at the plate, and the current managers played in an era when big collisions with runners trying to score were just part of the game. The rules have changed over the years to protect catchers, but runners are now sometimes safe even after being tagged out, and without any collision. That happened this week to Melvin’s San Diego Padres and Bochy’s Texas Rangers. San Francisco’s Blake Sabol was originally called out in the fifth inning Wednesday night against the Padres. The call was changed after a lengthy replay review and Sabol was ruled safe when catcher Gary Sanchez was cited for blocking the plate. Melvin called it “one of the worst calls I’ve seen this year.”Bochy did Melvin one better, calling a similar play in the Rangers’ 7-6 loss to the Chicago White Sox the previous night “absolutely one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen and it was done by replay.” Like...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Soccer fans were told Thursday to play their part in driving racism out of the sport. Following the sickening abuse received by players like Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin called on supporters to identify offenders.“Let’s work together to put our house in order and ban from our stadiums (anyone) who comes not for love of football like you, but for the hatred for others,” he said during a speech at the European Football Fans’ Congress in Manchester.Vinícius, who is Black, has been the target of sustained racist abuse by fans in Spanish stadiums. An effigy of the Brazil international was hung from a bridge in Madrid in January and he has been subjected to repeated racist taunts. There are also a growing number of players being targeted on social media. Soccer’s ruling bodies have been called upon to do more to combat racism. Čeferin said fans need to step up as well. “Will you help us rid the game of people who hide...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Manny Machado and Gary Sánchez hit three-run homers and the San Diego Padres beat San Francisco 10-0 Thursday to end the Giants’ 10-game winning streak.“Obviously, the first inning and getting a couple of three-run homers in the first three helped,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “Runners in scoring position, a lot of good at-bats today.”Blake Snell (4-6) won his third straight decision, striking out 11 and allowing three singles in six innings as the Padres avoided getting swept in a four-game series for the first time since 2017.

House lawmakers in Delaware approve $5.6 billion budget for fiscal year starting July 1

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:46:31 GMT

DOVER, Del. (AP) — House lawmakers in Delaware voted Thursday to approve an operating budget of more than $5.6 billion for the fiscal year starting July 1, an increase of roughly 10% over this year’s operating budget. Lawmakers also approved a separate budget supplement totaling $194.5 million in one-time funds for next year.House members voted 32-8 for the operating budget and 33-7 for the supplemental bill. All dissenting votes were cast by Republicans, some of whom expressed concern about the increase in spending.“That 10 percent is now baked in,” said Republican Rep. Lyndon Yearick, referring to the Legislature’s practice of using one year’s budget as the starting point for the next year’s spending.“That level of an increase is not only going to make the next-year budget harder, but the following year and the following year,” Yearick warned.Republican Rep. Ruth Briggs King of Georgetown, a member of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, acknowledged that the spending plan ...
