Kiki Rice, Lauren Betts, Charlisse Leger-Walker and Timea Gardiner vs. JuJu Watkins, Kiki Iriafen, Rayah Marshall and Talia von Oelhoffen. It's like a Pac-12 All-Star game 😆 and it'll be incredible (Big Ten) basketball

Scouting report on Mantle read, “Do not throw him a curveball. He’ll crush it.” First inning, Koufax struck out Mantle throwing nothing but fastballs. Second plate appearance, Koufax threw two quick fastball strikes. John Roseboro signalled for another, Koufax shook him off.…

My heart goes out to these incredibly courageous student journalists Daily Bruin, who are delivering outstanding coverage of the protests at UCLA while their physical safety is in danger.

It’s disingenuous to act like Colorado running off 53 scholarship players is normal offseason churn.

Max’s story was the first time these players — who were literally called “old furniture” that needed to get thrown out by Deion Sanders — have been humanized and listened to.

So wait...

The Dodgers have a Minor League team called the Quakes, but they got bees.

And the Angels have a Minor League team called the Bees, but they got quakes.

Just got home from the hospital. Wasn’t expecting the night to end like this, but please continue following the Daily Bruin’s coverage on the pro-Palestine encampment at UCLA and the violence toward it. Amid the assaults on reporters, student journalism will remain so important.

This breaks my heart.

My phenomenal Daily Bruin colleagues have given everything they have to cover the encampment. The work they’re doing is genuinely incredible.

Senseless, despicable violence at UCLA last night. I pray that the assailants are held accountable.

Trea Turner just booted a routine inning-ending double play ball.

The next pitch, Luis Rengifo hit a 3-run HR and the Angels are up 4-3.

I feel like I've seen that sort of thing happen the other way.

Last night, a colleague requested Rittich postgame. The request was denied, with the stated rationale that Rittich was 'not a factor' in the match.

HE WAS THE THIRD STAR OF THE GAME.

The goalie change worked.

But the power play (now 0 for 11) failed, again. And a flaccid offense produced 33 shots but nothing close to a true threat to Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner, never mind a goal, which is why the Kings are again close to elimination.

This thread! Kings fans aren’t fooled, and management - GM Rob Blake, and maybe higher up? - are taking some (deserved) flak as the team faces elimination again.
