Two catchers’ interference calls lead to Angels loss

• April 15, 2023

BOSTON — Angels catcher Matt Thaiss, who was making just his third start of the season, found himself at the center of a storm.

Two Boston Red Sox hitters hit his glove with their bats, reaching base on catcher’s interference and setting up the decisive rally in the Angels’ 9-7 loss Saturday at Fenway Park.

Right-hander Ryan Tepera was in to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning. He gave up a leadoff single to Enrique Hernandez, and then he seemed to retire Raimel Tapia on a line drive to deep left field.

Umpires ruled that Tapia’s bat had nicked Thaiss’ glove, though, so he was awarded first base. The Angels challenged the call, but replay confirmed it.

After a strikeout, Reese McGuire also reached on catcher’s interference, this one unquestioned to load the bases. Yu Chang then pulled a ground ball through the left side of the infield to drive in two runs.

Tepera recorded one more out, but hit Justin Turner with a pitch and walked Rob Refsnyder, forcing in another run. Tepera then signaled for a trainer and left the game with an injury.

The Angels came up empty in the ninth, ending the roller-coaster game.

The Angels took a quick lead when Gio Urshela popped a grand slam over the Green Monster in the first inning.

Urshela’s first homer of the season followed a Mike Trout double – the 300th of his career – and walks to Anthony Rendon and Hunter Renfroe.

Left-hander Tyler Anderson had a four-run cushion before he threw his first pitch, but the Angels were down by two runs when he threw his last pitch.

Anderson gave up two-run homers to Rafael Devers in the first and Chang in the fourth. He was eventually charged with six runs, his second poor outing in his first three starts with the Angels.

After pitching six scoreless innings against the Oakland A’s in his season debut, Anderson has allowed 11 earned runs in 8 2/3 innings in his past two starts.

Anderson has been spared losses in each of those games because of the Angels hitters. They rallied to overcome a four-run deficit last time.

Rendon and Urshela drove in runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game and Shohei Ohtani singled to push home the go-ahead run in the sixth.

5 takeaways from the USC spring football game

• April 15, 2023

LOS ANGELES — Here are some takeaways from USC’s spring football game, won by the defense by the score of 42-34.

Defense remains shaky

Let’s get this part out of the way, shouldn’t we?

The USC defense was always going to be the unit that received the most scrutiny in the spring game after an offseason wondering if it could fix all the problems that existed in 2022. So when the USC offense drove 75 yards in three plays on the opening series of the game, it spelled trouble for Alex Grinch’s beleaguered unit.

The Trojan defense posted just one three-and-out in the first half, on the second drive of the game. The next drive, USC trotted out its first-team defense against the third-team offense. A nice matchup to boost the confidence and perception of the D, right?

Except that the third-team O-line mashed USC’s defensive front to set up a 45-yard carry by freshman running back Quinten Joyner. Only two Mason Murphy false starts allowed the defense to escape allowing only a field goal.

This isn’t to say the defense didn’t have its moments. Jacobe Covington picked off two passes in the end zone, and Christian Pierce intercepted a Malachi Nelson floater along the sideline. And the defense started the second half strong, with Anthony Lucas, Jamil Muhammad and Raesjon Davis putting pressure on the quarterback.

But by that time, the USC offense had pulled most of its starters. The only starting offensive lineman in the game was Jonah Monheim, who was experimenting at center after starting at right tackle.

So, yeah, there’s still more for USC to address on the defense. Especially on the interior of the defensive line. But with the transfer portal about to open, USC has opportunities to do just that.

Still, head coach Lincoln Riley felt positive about the development of the USC defense this spring.

“The difference in the front-seven is noticeable,” Riley said. “You see, Year 2, some of these guys start to take off and all of a sudden everything’s not so new for them. They start to get settled in and they start to play faster and more confident and more of a playmaking attitude within that scheme because there is that familiarity.”

Breakout

If there was one player who made a name for himself during the spring game, it was Joyner. The freshman running back showed a lot of patience, allowing his offensive line to create holes for him. But when there was no room, he was not afraid to bounce outside and make defensive backs miss in space. He capped his day with a 26-yard touchdown run toward the end of the first half.

Overall, it was a good day for the USC run game. The line did a good job blocking and creating space. South Carolina transfer MarShawn Lloyd didn’t shine too much on the ground, but drew some oohs from the Coliseum crowd with a 25-yard catch in which he tiptoed down the sideline, then spun around to make a tackler miss and pick up extra yards. Freshman A’Marion Peterson added a late TD and hurdled over a defender.

“They’re amazing. I tell them that every day,” Lloyd said of the two freshmen. “They don’t even seem like freshmen to me. They’re still getting the playbook, but they’re very hard workers and it’s only up from here for them.”

One oddity was sophomore Raleek Brown, expected to play a prominent role in the offense this year, receiving one carry on an end-around. But that could be Riley keeping some play designs close to the chest. Brown did add a nice jump-ball catch against Domani Jackson toward the end of the game.

Work in progress

Freshman quarterback Malachi Nelson struggled for much of the day. He missed on his first four attempts, frequently throwing the ball well short of receivers even on button hooks. He had a lost fumble and two interceptions and just didn’t seem comfortable with the offense in his first public showcase.

Redshirt sophomore Miller Moss had a nice day with his arm and feet, and looks comfortable in the backup role for USC.

Branch strong

Highly recruited freshman receiver Zachariah Branch dropped his first target of the day, but settled down to be a reliable option in short-yardage throws for USC’s quarterbacks. He also displayed some surprising strength, given his 5-foot-10 frame and the fact that he enrolled in college only three months ago. He shoved linebacker Shane Lee away on one play, then spun out of a Jaylin Smith tackle attempt on his longest completion of the day.

“His strength in the weight room as a freshman is crazy,” receiver Dorian Singer said. “He’s incredible. Fast, freakish. What you see on the screen is what you get in practice.”

Heisman back home

Quarterback Caleb Williams didn’t do much on the field. He led that opening, 75-yard touchdown drive with a 45-yard pass to Brenden Rice before finding Mario Williams in the corner of the end zone. After that, he put his helmet down for the rest of the day.

But he did receive USC’s copy of his 2022 Heisman Trophy at halftime. He was flanked by teammates from last year’s team, including Brett Neilon and Travis Dye, as he raised the trophy over his head.

LeBron James tells Lakers: Just ‘go out and hoop’ vs. Grizzlies

• April 15, 2023

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — LeBron James had a message for his teammates after the Lakers’ final practice before opening their first-round playoff series Sunday afternoon against the Memphis Grizzlies. It wasn’t about novel approaches to strategy or possible adjustments or anything sophisticated.

“Just go out and have fun,” James said Saturday. “Go out and hoop.”

After playing 82 regular-season games and one more in the play-in tournament, the Lakers weren’t in a mood to overthink where they’ve been or how they got from a 2-10 record to open the season to a 10-2 closing mark to get to this point. They’re here and that’s all that really matters.

“We’ve just got to go out and play free,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said, expanding on James’ post-practice thoughts. “We’ve got our strategies, and our adjustments, our initial coverages, and so on and so forth, but at the end of the day, you’ve just got to go out and hoop.

“It’s a beautiful time to be a part of NBA basketball. The postseason. Everyone doesn’t get a chance to do this. Everyone doesn’t get to participate in it. And those guys coming in for the first time and with limited experience or no experience, you’ve just got to remember who you are as a player and who we are as a team, and just go out and put your best foot forward.”

The Lakers stressed the notion that the regular-season records and the seedings don’t matter. Everyone is starting fresh – whether seventh-seeded, as the Lakers are, or second-seeded, as the Grizzlies are. The games are up for grabs, and it’s up to the Lakers to take full advantage, starting Sunday.

If the Lakers developed a bit of a swagger during their sizzling end to the regular season, it was difficult to tell Saturday. They spoke in reserved tones, calmly, confidently laying out some but certainly not all of their plans for the Grizzlies, a team they defeated in two of three regular-season games.

There’s been a slow buildup to their return to the playoffs. The days that it was a foregone conclusion before the start of training camp that they would qualify for the playoffs and make a deep run are long past, replaced by a different kind of assuredness that was evident Saturday.

“I’m very confident in our team and our group, with the guys that we have, the coaching staff that we have,” Anthony Davis said. “We do a good job of preparing, getting ready for teams. This is no different. As long as we stay together and we defend. I’m not really worried about the offensive end. We can score.

“We’ve got to come out and defend, especially in this series. Their guys are playing with a lot of pace. Have a lot of shooting. Offensive rebounding. We’ve got to defend and rebound and try to limit their All-Stars. Their guys. And if we’re able to do that, we’ll put ourselves in a good position to win.”

Naturally, it helps the Lakers’ chances for what the oddsmakers and pundits would consider an upset series victory over the Grizzlies that James and Davis are healthy going into Game 1. So many of the Lakers’ ups and downs this season could be traced to their unavailability because of injuries.

Officially, James (foot), Davis (foot) and Dennis Schröder were listed as probable for Game 1.

The Grizzlies are not at full strength, with big men Steven Adams (knee) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) likely sidelined for the remainder of the season. It could give the Lakers a healthy advantage in the paint for a best-of-7 series that’s expected to be close and might go the distance.

“I mean, anytime me and Bron are able to be on the floor together, our chances heighten as far as winning basketball games,” Davis said. “But … (Memphis) is a good team. We know they’re not healthy. Missing some guys. But they’re still capable of beating us. And so we have to be mindful of that. But anytime me and Bron are able to step on the floor, it always causes a threat.”

Coachella 2023: The New Bar offers a cocktail experience without the hangover

• April 15, 2023

There’s something new brewing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio this year when it comes to cold beverages.

Decked out with a bright red bar top and stools and with eye-catching bottles lining the back shelves, The New Bar, located within the 12 Peaks VIP area and the general admission Indio Central Market on-site, looks and pretty much feels like a regular, but higher-end bar.

On Friday, April 14 — the first day of the first weekend of Coachella, which returns April 21-23 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio — New Bar bartenders were meticulously mixing crafted cocktails like the tequila-flavored Mojave Agave, the whiskey inspired Polo Buck and the sparkling Super Bloom Spritz wine drink.

While these drinks packed in a lot of flavor, none of them packed an alcoholic punch because all of the booze at The New Bar was not really booze at all.

“It’s really unique and exciting because usually when you go somewhere and there’s a non-alcoholic option it’s usually one thing and it’s usually a beer, but in this case we have a full menu the way you would expect at a typical bar, but without a hangover,” said Brianda Gonzalez, the 28-year-old founder of the Venice-based alcohol-free bottle shop. The New Bar is making its Coachella debut in 2023, marking the first time the festival has partnered with a fully non-alcoholic bar.

“We noticed a non-alcohol trend so we wanted to have New Bar on site,” said Lizzy Curnen, culinary director for the festival. “Their cocktails are delicious; I definitely recommend hitting up The New Bar.”

Gonzalez grew up on Catalina Island and now lives in Venice three blocks from her bottle shop, which she opened in July 2022.

She was inspired to open the alcohol-free shop after her father came down with an illness.

“My father was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and he had to give up alcohol. Food and drink had always played a big role in how we gathered and bonded together and so that kind of threw me into this whole category,” she said.

“So what we do is source and taste and curate the best non-alcoholic drinks you can find from all over the world and we bring them to people in a way that is accessible and very personalized to their likes and tastes.”

While he was hesitant at first, 35-year-old Armando Delgado decided to give one of the drinks a shot during the festival.

“I’ve been drinking a bit today, so I wanted to slow down and this just hits the spot,” he said as he sat on a stool and took a sip of the whiskey inspired Polo Buck.

Gonzalez said it was her dream from day one to serve her non-boozy drinks at Coachella.

“It is a huge deal for us,” she said. “It’s always been about being where people are and where the fun is being had and bringing these options to people and Coachella was the perfect match.”

The New Bar isn’t the only place where people can get alcoholic-free drinks at the festival. Other places include the Heineken House where they were serving their zero alcohol beer.

But The New Bar was the main one offering mixology-style drinks like the Mojave Agave, which is made with Spiritless Jalisco 55, the “tequila” in the drink, which is mixed with Hibiscus tea, lime and agave.

The Polo Buck is The New Bar’s version of a whiskey drink made with Spiritless Kentucky 74, ginger beer, strawberry, mint and lime.

Wine drinkers can enjoy the Super Bloom Spritz, which is French Bloom Le Blanc Sparkling Wine, Optimist Cali Amaro Aperitif and soda.

“For me, I’ve learned that the true joy I get from a drink really comes from the flavor profile, from creating something, from crafting a cocktail and that can be accomplished without the alcohol and these products are getting so good that you really don’t miss out on much,” she said.

UCLA football’s first-team offense begins to take shape

• April 15, 2023

LOS ANGELES — UCLA’s first-team offense has started to take shape after the first two weeks of spring practice following the departure of several impact players from last season.

Coach Chip Kelly’s offense produced seven NFL draft prospects, leaving a number of positions open to competition this season.

Redshirt junior quarterback Ethan Garbers, who spent the past two seasons as Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s primary backup, has consistently taken first-team reps throughout the first two weeks of spring practice.

“I think since winter workouts we’re moving in the right direction,” Garbers said. “Things have been moving really well.”

Freshman Dante Moore and sophomore Justyn Martin have taken second-team reps behind Garbers.

Despite the departures of receivers Jake Bobo and Kazmeir Allen, the quarterbacks are working with a stacked receiving room that features Cal transfer J. Michael Sturdivant and USC transfer Kyle Ford.

“Ever since they got here, we were throwing twice a week (in the winter) to get that chemistry up,” Garbers said. “We have a really explosive room this year and they’re going to make a lot of plays. It’s going to be fun to watch.”

Kam Brown, Logan Loya and Titus Mokiao-Atimalala are among the returning receivers.

“We have guys that want to play,” Mokiao-Atimalala said. “It’s a really big competition in that receiver room. We are all pushing each other.”

Sturdivant has joined Brown and Loya on the first-team unit, with Hudson Habermehl lining up at tight end.

Kelly boosted the Bruins’ depth at running back to help make up for the loss of Zach Charbonnet, who is expected to be a second- or third-round selection in the NFL draft later this month.

UCLA added Ball State transfer Carson Steele, who ran for 1,772 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, in the backfield. Sophomore T.J. Harden is poised for more carries, after rushing for 325 yards and two touchdowns in six games in a reserve role last year.

“It made me more confident as a player,” Harden said about last season. “I was prepared for those moments and I’ve learned from those games on what I could do better.”

The offensive line has been one of the Bruins’ strongest position groups in each of the past two seasons because of its experience and depth.

Center Duke Clemens and right tackle Garrett DiGiorgio are the only starting returners, with veterans like Sam Marrazzo, Jon Gaines II and Atonio Mafi moving on from the program.

“Those are some good guards to have to replace, but the guards we have now are stepping up and getting better,” Clemens said. “I think by the time we’re really supposed to start this thing we should be jelling pretty well.”

Redshirt senior Josh Carlin is working as a right guard and Benjamin Roy Jr. is at left guard. Roy was the backup center last year and could prove to be a valuable option at multiple positions on the line if he doesn’t earn a starting role.

Spencer Holstege played in 32 games before transferring from Purdue and could compete for the starting left guard spot. He’s been sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Redshirt junior Bruno Fina is working as the starting left tackle.

FAMOUS FACES

Former UCLA quarterbacks Gary Beban and Troy Aikman were among the visitors at Saturday’s practice.

Beban won the Heisman Trophy in 1967, becoming the only Bruin to earn the award, before he was drafted by the Rams in the second round of the 1968 draft.

Aikman spent three seasons at UCLA and finished third in the Heisman voting in 1988. He was the first overall pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 and went on to win three Super Bowls.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was also on the sidelines watching the team practice.

Police searching for driver of Cadillac that hit 11-year-old boy in Santa Ana

• April 15, 2023

Santa Ana police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the driver of a black older model Cadillac sedan who hit an 11-year-old boy on a residential street, causing the child to go airborne, authorities said this week.

The crash occurred just past 1:35 p.m. March 29 in the 700 block of South Birch Street, Santa Ana police said Wednesday, April 12.

Video surveillance shows two juveniles darting across the street in front of the Cadillac DeVille, which was traveling southbound, police said.  One of the juveniles was struck by the right front corner of the car and was seen flipping before landing on the street. Why the two juveniles suddenly ran across the street was not known.

Video shows the car continuing southbound without slowing down.

The juvenile was taken to Children’s Hospital of Orange County, but has since been released, Santa Ana police Sgt. Maria Lopez said Saturday. The second juvenile was not harmed.

Family members told ABC Los Angeles that the injured boy was with his cousin and that they take the same route home from school every day. The boys were spooked by a barking dog, causing them to run in the street, they said.

The boy was treated for minor bruises, family members told the station.

Witnesses told police the Cadillac had dark tinted windows and police further described the car as an early 2000s model with chrome rims and chrome metal trim.

Anyone with information about the hit-and-run is asked to call the Santa Ana Police Collisions Investigation Unit at 714-245-8228.

Report finds democracy for Black Americans is under attack

• April 15, 2023

By Gary Fields | Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Extreme views adopted by some local, state and federal political leaders who try to limit what history can be taught in schools and seek to undermine how Black officials perform their jobs are among the top threats to democracy for Black Americans, the National Urban League says.

Marc Morial, the former New Orleans mayor who leads the civil rights and urban advocacy organization, cited the most recent example: the vote this month by the Republican-controlled Tennessee House to oust two Black representatives for violating a legislative rule. The pair had participated in a gun control protest inside the chamber after the shooting that killed three students and three staff members at a Nashville school.

“We have censorship and Black history suppression, and now this,” Morial said in an interview. “It’s another piece of fruit of the same poisonous tree, the effort to suppress and contain.”

Both Tennessee lawmakers were quickly reinstated by leaders in their districts and were back at work in the House after an uproar that spread well beyond the state.

The Urban League’s annual State of Black America report released Saturday draws on data and surveys from a number of organizations, including the UCLA Law School, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The collective findings reveal an increase in recent years in hate crimes and efforts to change classroom curriculums, attempts to make voting more difficult and extremist views being normalized in politics, the military and law enforcement.

One of the most prominent areas examined is so-called critical race theory. Scholars developed it as an academic framework during the 1970s and 1980s in response to what they viewed as a lack of racial progress following the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. The theory centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation’s institutions and that they function to maintain the dominance of white people in society.

Director Taifha Alexander said the Forward Tracking Project, part of the UCLA Law School, began in response to the backlash that followed the protests of the George Floyd killing in 2020 and an executive order that year from then-President Donald Trump restricting diversity training.

The project’s website shows that 209 local, state and federal government entities have introduced more than 670 bills, resolutions, executive orders, opinion letters, statements and other measures against critical race theory since September 2020.

Anti-critical race theory is “a living organism in and of itself. It’s always evolving. There are always new targets of attack,” Alexander said.

She said the expanded scope of some of those laws, which are having a chilling effect on teaching certain aspects of the country’s racial conflicts, will lead to major gaps in understanding history and social justice.

“This anti-CRT campaign is going to frustrate our ability to reach our full potential as a multiracial democracy” because future leaders will be missing information they could use to tackle problems, Alexander said.

She said one example is the rewriting of Florida elementary school material about civil rights figure Rosa Parks and her refusal to give up her seat to a white rider on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus in 1955 — an incident that sparked the bus boycott there. Mention of race was omitted entirely in one revision, a change first reported by The New York Times.

Florida has been the epicenter of many of the steps, including opposing AP African American studies, but it’s not alone.

“The things that have been happening in Florida have been replicated, or governors in similarly situated states have claimed they will do the same thing,” Alexander said.

In Alabama, a proposal to ban “divisive” concepts passed out of legislative committee this past week. Last year, the administration of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, rescinded a series of policies, memos and other resources related to diversity, equity and inclusion that it characterized as “discriminatory and divisive concepts” in the state’s public education system.

Oklahoma public school teachers are prohibited from teaching certain concepts of race and racism under a bill Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law in 2021.

On Thursday, the Llano County Commissioners Court in Texas held a special meeting to consider shutting down the entire public library system rather than follow a federal judge’s order to return a slate of books to the shelves on topics ranging from teenage sexuality to bigotry.

After listening to public comments in favor and against the shutdown, the commissioners decided to remove the item from the agenda.

“We will suppress your books. We will suppress the conversation about race and racism, and we will suppress your history, your AP course,” Morial said. “It is singular in its effort to suppress Blacks.”

Other issues in his group’s report address extremism in the military and law enforcement, energy and climate change, and how current attitudes can affect public policy. Predominantly white legislatures in Missouri and Mississippi have proposals that would shift certain government authority from some majority Black cities to the states.

In many ways, the report mirrors concerns evident in recent years in a country deeply divided over everything from how much K-12 students should be taught about racism and sexuality to the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

Forty percent of voters in last year’s elections said their local K-12 public schools were not teaching enough about racism in the United States, while 34% said it already was too much, according to AP VoteCast, an expansive survey of the American electorate. Twenty-three percent said the current curriculum was about right.

About two-thirds of Black voters said more should be taught on the subject, compared with about half of Latino voters and about one-third of white voters.

Violence is one of the major areas of concern covered in the Urban League report, especially in light of the 2022 mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. The accused shooter left a manifesto raising the “great replacement theory ” as a motive in the killings.

Data released this year by the FBI indicated that hate crimes rose between 2020 and 2021. African Americans were disproportionately represented, accounting for 30% of the incidents in which the bias was known.

By comparison, the second largest racial group targeted in the single incident category was white victims, who made up 10%.

Rachel Carroll Rivas, deputy director of research with the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, said when all the activities are tabulated, including hate crimes, rhetoric, incidents of discrimination and online disinformation, “we see a very clear and concerning threat to America and a disproportionate impact on Black Americans.”

Associated Press writers Julie Wright in Kansas City, Missouri, and Hannah Fingerhut in Washington contributed to this report.
