If Mitch Haniger isn’t an everyday player, SF Giants have a $43.5 million problem

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 11:04:42 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Gabe Kapler penciled in Mitch Haniger’s name into the fifth spot on the Giants’ lineup card Friday.Ten months ago, when they inked him to the richest free-agent deal of their offseason, it was unfathomable to think that would be a notable occurrence. Haniger and Michael Conforto, their other prized addition, were expected to provide everyday stability to the lineup. Yet, one day earlier, Haniger was held out of the lineup for a second straight day, reduced to a part-time player in year one of a three-year, $43.5 million commitment.Asked Thursday about Haniger’s absence, Kapler sighed and said their best option to win that day’s ballgame didn’t include him in the starting lineup.“No, there’s nothing going on there,” Kapler said. “At some point I’ll have that conversation with Hanny also, which is really just about what gives us the best chance to win every baseball game. Sometimes that means him coming off the bench and ta...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 11:04:42 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge became the first New York Yankees player to hit three home runs in a game twice in one season when he connected in the seventh inning Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks.Judge hit a three-run homer in the third and a two-run shot in the fifth off rookie starter Brandon Pfaadt. The slugger added his third homer of the night by reaching the second deck in right field with a solo drive off Slade Cecconi. After rounding the bases, the reigning AL MVP took a curtain call from the Yankee Stadium crowd as teammate Gleyber Torres stepped out of the batter’s box. Judge also doubled during his second career three-homer game — both coming within the past month. He also went deep three times Aug. 23 at home against Washington to help the Yankees stop their first nine-game losing streak since 1982.Judge’s first homer gave New York a 3-0 lead. Two batters after Pfaadt committed an error by misplaying Oswald Peraza’s soft comebacker, Judge lifted a first...

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The mid-air collision that killed two racing pilots in Reno last weekend is confounding aviation experts.The first- and second-place winning pilots, both Californians, crashed Sunday at the National Air Race Championships, possibly because of an aircraft blind spot, glare from the sun or even a brief moment of lost focus, experts said.But many are dumbfounded by the fact that such experienced pilots who’d raced their T-6 warbirds at the same site so many times couldn’t navigate trouble just seconds away from safely returning to the tarmac at Reno-Stead Airport.“Honestly, it is very hard for me to find an explanation for how those two expert pilots ended up in the same piece of airspace at the same time,” Reno Air Racing Association CEO Fred Telling said.Telling, who raced T-6s for 10 years, doubts there was a mechanical failure because someone would have radioed “Mayday.” Both pilots made brief radio transmissions just before colliding, so a health episode se...
