ANAHEIM — A’s vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane doesn’t even try to play coy when it comes to his team’s center-field job. There’s no faux hesitation, like football coaches declining to name their starting quarterback. “This is not like a Baker Mayfield thing here,” Beane said, laughing. “I’m not saying, ‘Oh, no, I don’t know who it will be.’ Ramón Laureano is the center fielder.

Paul Rosa is well-organized, motivational and a visionary. He’s also very honest. Rosa, the fourth-year head coach at Wilcox-Santa Clara, didn’t expect to be 5-0. And he definitely didn’t figure his team would beat perennial Northern California and West Catholic Athletic League power Valley Christian to start the season. “That did surprise me,” he said of the team’s 10-6 home win Aug. 24. “But that gave us confidence to do what we’re doing.” What Rosa has done since replacing Dan Brown, and Woody Freitas before him...

The All-Pro cornerback is expected to miss multiple games with an injury that likely is connected to his offseason surgery to remove bone spurs near his left Achilles tendon. And his lower-leg issues could linger throughout the season. At least that’s the opinion of Dr. Ken Jung, a Los Angeles-based foot and ankle surgeon who is a consultant to five professional teams, including the Lakers and Dodgers. Читать дальше...

Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Thursday that he did not think defensive tackle Maurice Hurst deserved a roughing-the-passer penalty for his second-quarter hit on Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill on Sunday. “We’re just tackling,” Guenther said. “It’s a form tackle.” Hurst said he too thought the play, which helped force a third-down incompletion, was clean. “Yeah, head to the side, not hitting the head, not hitting the knees,” Hurst said. Yet the hit did draw what turned out to be a costly roughing penalty on the Raiders. Читать дальше...

Kavanaugh alternated from anger to tears during fiery testimony. He took deep breaths and lengthy sips of water to gain his composure. He looked every bit the man... Читать дальше...

Speaking shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump — whose fiery speech made no mention of climate change ... Читать дальше...
