SF Giants, D-backs will pit top two starters against each other in pivotal series with playoff implications

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:37 GMT

DENVER — Battling his bothersome hip, Alex Cobb has had his past two starts pushed back. But the 35-year-old right-hander remains on track to start the Giants’ first game Tuesday in Arizona, and with Logan Webb lined up behind him, San Francisco will have its top two arms going in its two most important games of the season.“I love the fact that those guys are pitching in Arizona,” manager Gabe Kapler said before Sunday’s series finale against the Rockies.Before getting to Arizona, Kapler’s squad had to win Sunday to avoid being swept in a four-game series against last-place Colorado.“I want to win today’s game,” he said. “It’s a pretty important one too.”The two-game series in Arizona looms large, though arguably less so than when they made the decision to push Cobb’s start back. Nobody inside the organization envisioned losing the next three games to the Rockies, dropping them 2½ games back of Arizona, Miami and Cincinnati...

Diablo Street from 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. on September 16. One person out of the 489 vehicles contacted was arrested for DUI.According to the Concord PD, checkpoint locations are based on a history of crashes and DUI arrests.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:46:37 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri quarterback Brady Cook spent most of last season playing through a shoulder injury so severe it required offseason surgery. Yet because he never whimpered or complained, few outside the program even knew what he had to endure.All most people saw was Cook’s play fall short far too often.So over time, the kid from St. Louis — the one who grew up dreaming of playing for the Tigers — became the whipping boy of fans pining for their program to return to prominence. Every mistake made was magnified, every failure of the team foisted upon him, and the drum beat for coach Eli Drinkwitz to turn to highly touted recruit Sam Horn grew.At one point Saturday, before playing No. 15 Kansas State, some in a sea of yellow even booed their starting quarterback.Cook answered them with the best performance of his career.Despite spraining his knee late in the first half, Cook shredded the Wildcats’ secondary, throwing for 356 yards and two scores. And in the fin...
