Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:38 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Major League Baseball has made the games faster, the bases bigger and defense a little bit harder.Now, if it could only do something about those stubborn strikeouts.“Just move the mound back to about — oh, I don’t know — second base? Maybe fastballs only?” Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy said, laughing. “I just think these pitchers are really good.“No one likes to strike out, but that’s how it goes.”There’s little doubt that MLB’s expansive new rules package this season has been a success, particularly when it comes to speeding up the action. But the sport is also hunting for a little more offense these days and, to be honest, the league-wide offensive output of 2023 still looks pretty similar to 2022 in several areas.Batting average is up modestly to .248 through Friday’s games, rising from .243 last season.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) — A woman balanced a toddler on her hip while standing on the porch of the Jump’n Jellybeans daycare on a recent Thursday morning. She stared at what was walking down the sidewalk on the other side of Portsmouth Boulevard.So did the toddler.
