Isiah Kiner-Falefa talks impending free agency, taking back seat to Yankees’ youth

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:47:01 GMT

TAMPA — When the Yankees called up Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza earlier this week, Aaron Boone spoke with some veterans whose playing time would be impacted by the promotions.Isiah Kiner-Falefa was one of those veterans.With Pereira and Peraza expected to mostly play left field and third base, respectively, the versatile Kiner-Falefa figured to lose as much playing time as any roster incumbent. The Yanks are in last place, so their focus is on the future.“It’s just part of it,” Kiner-Falefa told the Daily News. “When you’re not winning, you got to give the other guys opportunities, and it just so happens to be me. So it is what it is.”Kiner-Falefa played for the first time since the promotions on Friday. He went 1-for-5 with a double while roaming centerfield in the Yankees’ series-opening win over Tampa Bay.“Kiner’s done a really nice job, and with some guys coming up, it’s cut into his playing time,” Boon...

Yankees’ Gerrit Cole doesn’t want to be ‘distracted’ by chasing 1st career Cy Young

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:47:01 GMT

TAMPA — Shortly after Gerrit Cole exited his Friday start against the Rays, Aaron Boone showered him with praise.“I said to him afterwards, ‘That’s about as good as I’ve seen you right there,’” Boone said after Cole struck out 11 and walked none while holding Tampa Bay to two earned runs in a 6-2 win. “That’s what it looked like to me against, obviously, a really good offense that’s familiar with him.”The performance — a bounce-back after a clunker against Boston on Aug. 19 — saw Cole lower his ERA to 2.95. He is also 11-4 with 181 strikeouts over 168 innings this season.“He’s doing something special out there this year,” DJ LeMahieu said.While the last-place Yankees are all but officially out of the playoff race, their ace’s Cy Young candidacy has given fans a reason to pay attention over the last month or so of the season. Cole, however, doesn’t want to look too far ahead.&#...

Bare electrical wire and leaning poles on Maui were possible cause of deadly fires

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:47:01 GMT

In the first moments of the Maui fires, when high winds brought down power poles, slapping electrified wires to the dry grass below, there was a reason the flames erupted all at once in long, neat rows — those wires were bare, uninsulated metal that could spark on contact.Videos and images analyzed by The Associated Press confirmed those wires were among miles of line that Hawaiian Electric Company. left naked to the weather and often-thick foliage, despite a recent push by utilities in other wildfire- and hurricane-prone areas to cover up their lines or bury them.Compounding the problem is that many of the utility’s 60,000, mostly wooden power poles, which its own documents described as built to “an obsolete 1960s standard,” were leaning and near the end of their projected lifespan. They were nowhere close to meeting a 2002 national standard that key components of Hawaii’s electrical grid be able to withstand 105 mile per hour winds. A 2019 filing said it had fallen behind in...

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A toddler died inside a hot car on Friday after her mother forgot that she left the girl in the vehicle parked outside a South Carolina high school, according to a county coroner.Berkeley County Coroner Darnell Hartwell told The Post and Courier that he believes the 16-month-old girl died due to heat, although an autopsy will be performed. The temperature inside the car likely exceeded 100 degrees F (about 38 degrees C), the coroner said.The child’s mother works at Bishop England High School, in Charleston, and had parked her sport utility vehicle in front of the private school on Friday morning. A passerby found the child in a car seat roughly six hours later and called 911, according to the coroner.Hartwell said the child could have survived only minutes inside the car.“I definitely feel confident that it was triple digits within that car at peak time of today,” he said.Bishop England canceled its Friday night football game and classes on Monday.“We a...

Volunteer hunters join a new search for the mythical Loch Ness Monster

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:47:01 GMT

Mystery hunters converged on a Scottish lake on Saturday to look for signs of the mythical Loch Ness Monster.The Loch Ness Center said researchers would try to seek evidence of Nessie using thermal-imaging drones, infrared cameras and a hydrophone to detect underwater sounds in the lake’s murky waters. The two-day event is being billed as the biggest survey of the lake for 50 years, and includes people from around the world watching the waters remotely on webcams.Alan McKenna of the Loch Ness Center said the aim was “to inspire a new generation of Loch Ness enthusiasts.”McKenna told BBC radio the searchers were “looking for breaks in the surface and asking volunteers to record all manner of natural behavior on the loch.”“Not every ripple or wave is a beastie. Some of those can be explained, but there are handful that cannot,” he said.The Loch Ness Center is located at the former Drumnadrochit Hotel, where the modern-day Nessie legend began. In 1933, manager Aldie Mackay reported spo...
