Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:49:11 GMT

Finally back to some semblance of health, the Giants lost two starting players moments apart Tuesday night on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals.The first to go was third baseman J.D. Davis, who twisted his right ankle going from first to third base on a run-scoring single to left center by Michael Conforto.Davis was checked out by trainer Dave Groeschner, during which time St. Louis challenged the ruling that Davis was safe and was rewarded by having the call overturned.Next was outfielder Mitch Haniger, was took a pitch off the right forearm from Jack Flaherty on the first pitch of his at-bat after Davis departed. Haniger appeared to be in considerable pain and could not continue.Perhaps not coincidentally, the Giants pulled both Luis Matos and David Villar — an outfielder and a third baseman — from their Triple-A game on the road against Sugar Land and both could be in play should Davis and Haniger be headed for the injured list.Matos, considered one of the Gian...

Column: Golf has too many balls in the air to debate distance

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:49:11 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Professional golf rarely has been this divided, bordering on hostile, and there is no simple solution. It was always going to be a hot topic at the U.S. Open.So maybe the USGA should be thankful. No one is talking about rolling back the golf ball.“It obviously pales in comparison, when before it was maybe the biggest new issue we were talking about,” Patrick Cantlay said Tuesday.It seems small now, especially with the consternation and confusion that has gripped players over the last week about the PGA Tour and European tour becoming partners with the Saudi national wealth fund behind LIV Golf, the great disruptor in the sport.No one knows what to expect from the agreement to pool commercial businesses and rights. No one is entirely sure who will be in charge. What happens to the LIV Golf League next year? Is this the last we hear of the Cleeks and Majesticks?The shock is still fresh among so many players, particularly how blindsided they were by PGA Tour Co...
