  “I wanted to get the boys together to tell them that we still have half a season left,” Moustakas left. “If you want to play in October, we’ve got to start winning some baseball games.”

  LOS ANGELES — This makes two Saturdays in a row that a team from Notre Dame has come into L.A. and had its way with a team from USC.
  A week ago it was Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team coming to L.A. and thumping JuJu Watkins and the Trojans, and afterward, coach Lindsay Gottlieb specifically talked of how the Irish “exposed” her team’s flaws and maybe provided a template for improvement.

  President-elect Trump is calling on Senate Republicans to support his agenda or get out of the way, going so far as to call for recess appointments of his recently announced cabinet picks. Trump has stated that he wants his cabinet – including unconventional nominees like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard – in place soon after his inauguration, even if that means the Senate does not vote on these picks as they typically do.
