  29-08-2024 19:10 via ocregister.com
  
  DETROIT — José Quijada and Brock Burke have worked themselves up on the organizational bullpen depth chart in the past month.
  “I firmly see them as a huge part of our plans,” Angels pitching coach Barry Enright said Thursday. “That’s obviously decisions above me, but what they’re doing is showing how important they can be to us.”
  The Angels have struggled in recent years getting consistent work from a left-handed reliever who could dominate left-h

• Sparks can’t survive Rickea Jackson’s ejection, drop home finale to Mercury

  18-09-2024 07:42 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Rickea Jackson learned another valuable lesson on Tuesday night.
  It’s not that the rookie shouldn’t test veterans in this league, or react accordingly when 6-foot-9 Brittney Griner gets in her face.
  It’s that, to remain composed, to compete in the waning moments of games, the Sparks desperately need her presence, her ability to score against any defensive coverage.
  Jackson and the Sparks had built a seven-point lead on the Phoenix Mercury, but with 18 second

  ANAHEIM — Before the Angels beat the Chicago White Sox, 5-0, to break their six-game losing streak on Tuesday night, Manager Ron Washington explained that all of this losing has been tougher on the players than him.
  “It’s easy for me,” Washington said, “because I’ve been through it. They’ve never been through it.”
  What’s more, Washington said, he’s seen the other side.
  “Everything they’ve been through is going to certainly h

• Gov. Newsom must reject AB 2527 and end solitary confinement for pregnant women

  18-09-2024 05:56 via ocregister.com
  
  As members of the faith community, we are called to stand for justice, truth, and morality. This includes fighting for the weak, the invisible, and the forgotten. That is why many in the faith community have rallied to fight for change on one of the most important human rights issues of our time, the widespread use of solitary confinement in the United States. My own denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), passed a resolution this summer condemning the practice of solitary confinement as

• Angels’ Mickey Moniak keeps getting hurt when he faces lefties, but he’s not ready to abandon it

  18-09-2024 04:10 via ocregister.com
  
  ANAHEIM — Mickey Moniak still longs for the day when he has the opportunity to regularly face lefties, even though he acknowledges the risks are more than just lowering his batting average.
  The Angels outfielder is currently out with a left hand contusion suffered when he was hit by a pitch from Houston Astros left-hander Caleb Ferguson on Sunday afternoon.
  Moniak walked off the field immediately, which he said was because he figured he had broken his hand.

  18-09-2024 03:48 via ocregister.com
  
  MIAMI — The best thing that can be said about Bobby Miller’s sophomore season is that it’s almost over.
  Mill gave up four runs in the first two innings against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night, raising his ERA for the season to 8.52. The Dodgers matched that but went on to lose, 11-9.
  Along the way, Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run home run, his 48th home run of the season. Ohtani is one home run short of matching Shawn Green’s franchise record for home runs. Already histori

  It’s time to blow the whistle on the farcical efforts of California’s politicians — especially Gov. Gavin Newsom — to reduce the state’s high gasoline prices.
  Newsom’s demand that the Legislature, which adjourned for the year in early September, reconvene in a special session on gas prices continues his crusade against the oil industry, charging it with price gouging.

  You know you’ve been there, haven’t we all? A cocktail ordered with anticipation, but the reality leaves a lot to be desired. The hope of a wonderfully satisfying spirit, only to be met with a maligned liquid that does exactly the opposite of its intended purpose. Instead of the profound exhale that follows an enjoyable sip of a drink, you’re left looking at a glass full of wasted potential.

• Learn how to dig for vinyl and rediscover the joy of real records

  18-09-2024 02:15 via ocregister.com
  
  In the late 1990s when most people had already replaced their record collections with CDs, I started collecting vinyl. It was a practical hobby, I told myself, because I was learning to DJ in clubs where vinyl was still the dominant format. Plus, used records were often very cheap.
  A lot has changed since then. Now, digital is the dominant format for DJs, while consumers seem to love vinyl. Maybe it’s all nostalgia, or maybe it is because there’s something special about the way the s

  His story went something like this:

  Let’s face it: There’s nothing like an icy-cold soda pop on a hot day.
  Unfortunately, drinking one these days is tantamount to sin. Everyone has concerns (not unfounded) about sweeteners and additives in popular brands leading to obesity, diabetes and other health horrors.
  This is particularly sad when you consider soda pop was sold in the late 19th century as a fizzy health elixir, meant to cure everything from anxiety to alcoholism. The syrups were mixed up in pharmacies, then serv
