• Letters: Don’t believe Kamala Harris’ supposed ‘moderate’ policy shifts. She will be a far-left president.

  Re “Kamala walks back yet another bad idea” (Sept. 8):
  If memory serves me, Joe Biden ran as a one term, centrist candidate that wanted to bring a fractured country back together.
  How did that turn out?
  Joe Biden flipped as far left as a split Congress allowed. Then again, I think Obama, Chuck Schumer and Pelosi were the real influence on policy.
  Kamala Harris, if elected, will go full throttle on leftist policy.

• Dodgers will keep giving Yoshinobu Yamamoto extra rest even in postseason

  17-09-2024 02:08 via ocregister.com
  
  ATLANTA — When they signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto last winter, the Dodgers made a commitment to keeping the 26-year-old right-hander on a schedule as close as possible to what he was used to in Japan.
  That meant giving him at least five days off before every start. It didn’t prevent him from getting injured and spending three months on the sidelines with a strained rotator cuff.
  But it won’t change in October. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Yamamoto will get at least five days o
