ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O’Neill was not in the starting lineup Wednesday, a day after his baserunning effort was questioned by manager Oliver Marmol.O’Neill was thrown out by Ronald Acuña Jr. at the plate with two outs and the Cardinals trailing 4-1 in the seventh inning Tuesday night. St. Louis lost the game by the same score. Marmol took issue with O’Neill’s turn around third as he attempted to score from second on a Brendan Donovan pinch-hit liner to right.Marmol, who declined to specify whether starting Dylan Carlson in center field rather than O'Neill was tied directly to Tuesday's play, doubled down on his criticism before Wednesday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves.“There’s going to be a style of play that we are known for,” Marmol said. “And it’s going to involve effort. And it’s gonna involve being relentless. It’s gonna involve being smart. And we’re going to keep guys to that. Because that’s how you sustain being good for a long time...

“Logically impossible” charge against Colorado officer who locked woman on train tracks should be dropped, attorneys say

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:44:22 GMT

A Fort Lupton police officer who locked a handcuffed woman inside a police vehicle before it was struck by a train is claiming the sole felony charge she faces — attempted reckless manslaughter — isn’t a real crime and should be dropped.Officer Jordan Steinke, 29, and then-Platteville police Sgt. Pablo Vazquez both were criminally charged after the Sept. 16 incident on railroad tracks near U.S. 85 and Weld County Road 38. The officers stopped 21-year-old Yareni Rios-Gonzalez after a reported road-rage incident, took her into custody and locked her in a police SUV parked on train tracks.The officers then failed to move the SUV as a train barreled down the tracks, its horn blaring, and crashed into the vehicle, seriously injuring Rios-Gonzalez, who survived and is suing the Platteville Police Department. Steinke was placed on leave after the incident; Vazquez was fired.Attorneys for Steinke argued in a 16-page motion to dismiss filed Friday that the crime of attempte...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:44:22 GMT

By Jill Colvin and Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence will not appeal a judge’s order compelling him to testify in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, a spokesman said Wednesday.The decision sets the stage for a possible appearance by Pence in the coming weeks before a federal grand jury.Pence was subpoenaed months ago by the special counsel investigating attempts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to undo the election results before the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.Lawyers for Trump objected to the subpoena on executive privilege grounds, but a federal judge in Washington last week rejected those arguments, forcing Pence to testify. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg did give Pence a win by accepting arguments by Pence’s lawyers that, for constitutional reasons, he could not be questioned about his actions on Jan. 6.Colvin reported from ...

Michigan repeals 1931 law banning abortion

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:44:22 GMT

By Joey Cappelletti | Associated PressBIRMINGHAM, Mich. — A near-century old abortion ban that fueled one of the largest ballot drives in Michigan history was repealed Wednesday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, just months after voters enshrined abortion rights in the state’s constitution.“Today, we’re going to take action to make sure that our statutes and our laws reflect our values and our constitution,” Whitmer said at a bill signing outside of Detroit.The 1931 abortion ban made it a four-year felony to assist in an abortion. Roe v. Wade had made the law null and void until the landmark decision was overturned in June by the U.S. Supreme Court.Courts blocked the ban from taking effect while a citizen-led initiative to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution received more signatures than any other ballot proposal in state history to put the question before voters. Voters overwhelmingly approved the proposal in last November’s midterms, ma...

Joc Pederson tore through Andrew Vaughn's glove pic.twitter.com/SivLorU2tr— White Sox Talk (@NBCSWhiteSox) April 5, 2023San Francisco Giants star outfielder Joc Pederson found a sure-fire way to get on base: hit the ball so hard it rips right through the fielder’s glove. That’s exactly what he did in the third inning of the Giants’ game against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday. White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn thought he caught the hard line drive only to watch it exit his glove and bounce behind him. The exit velocity off of Pederson’s bat was 109 mph, according to announcers. The play, originally called a hit, was later ruled an error by the White Sox.Joc Pederson rips ball through fielder’s glove. (Bay Area News Group) Apparently this is no fluke. Last season, Pederson had the second highest exit velocity among all lefties in Major League Baseball at 93.2 mph.
