  19-09-2024 05:40 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Come Saturday, the man taking center stage at the Big House presents a riddle. Quite a few of them, actually. He is a 6-foot-3, 235-pound walking paradox who popped up on the “Freaks List” compiled by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, a quarterback unlike anyone this USC defense has seen, a quarterback unlike anyone most anyone has seen.
  He is also a relative national unknown, with tantalizing athleticism but almost no tape on his throwing arm, and USC’s J

• Dodgers hold off Marlins with Shohei Ohtani reaching 49 stolen bases

  19-09-2024 03:39 via ocregister.com
  
  MIAMI — When Landon Knack was roughed up for five runs in two innings in Atlanta last Friday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts referred to it as “an outlier” in what has been a largely successful rookie year.
  It’s hard to argue with that now.
  Coming off his worst start, Knack turned in one of his best. He allowed just two hits over five scoreless innings as the Dodgers beat the Miami Marlins, 8-4, on Wednesday night.
  The victory gives the Dodgers 90 wins for the 11th consecut

  ANAHEIM — Jordyn Adams’ infield hit in the 13th inning was too late to get Jack Kochanowicz the win he deserved, but good enough to get the Angels a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday afternoon.
  With the automatic runner having moved to third on a fly ball, the White Sox had the infield in when Adams poked a ball off the glove of third baseman Miguel Vargas as the winning run scored.
  It ended long after Kochanowicz was done throwing a strong seven innings, allowing j

  And no one is mad about it.
  On the contrary. This season – whether the Sparks finish 7-33 or 8-32 – has been a success by so many measures … so long as you ignore the WNBA standings.

  The Ducks had perhaps the most intense training camp in the league last season, with Greg Cronin bringing his experience at every developmental level to his first year as an NHL head coach.
  The result only got them one more point in the standings from a season weighed down by injuries, penalties and tight losses, but changes in the team’s culture and work ethic were palpable.

• Is inflation cured? Fed’s giant rate cut turns focus to cooling job market

  18-09-2024 22:50 via ocregister.com
  
  The Federal Reserve wants you to think inflation is largely cured, so it can go tinker with a soft job market.
  The central bank on Wednesday, Sept. 18, trimmed its target for its Federal Funds rate by a half-percentage-point to 4.74% to 5%, its first cut in four years. This is no minor policy tweak. Since 2000, rate cuts of this size were previously made during the pandemic lockdowns in 2020, the global financial collapse of 2007-08, and the dot-com crash of 2001-02.
