In past years, infighting between Republicans stalled movement in the Senate.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:30 GMT

Michael Toglia admits that he was bummed out when he didn’t make the Rockies’ 26-man roster coming out of spring training. Now, given another chance, he hopes he can show the club something.Toglia, 24, was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday to replace first baseman C.J. Cron, who was placed on the 10-day injured list after he suffered back spasms during Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.“It’s really not that stressful,” Toglia said when asked about his need to perform during his current stint with Colorado. “It does matter, but you need to treat it like it doesn’t matter so that you can go about your work every day, with a clean slate and an open mind. And then if an opportunity opens up like it did for me, then you’re ready to go.”Toglia, Colorado’s first-round draft choice out of UCLA in 2019, made his big-league debut late last season, slashing .216/.275/.378 with two home runs, eight doubles, two triple...

Kiszla: Nikola Jokic and LeBron James couldn’t more different as basketball players. But their secret sauce is the same.

LeBron James and Nikola Jokic share one gift from the basketball gods that make them NBA immortals. They see a beautiful game muggles like us find so incomprehensible that all we can do is sit back and giggle with delight at the magic Joker and King James make happen on the court.“A lot of guys are playing checkers; Nikola and LeBron are master chess players,” said Nuggets coach Michael Malone, blessed to have worked alongside both at different points in his coaching career, giving him a chance to peer inside their minds and get blinded by the light. “They see things three or four steps ahead of everybody else on the court, and it gives them the ability to make everybody around them better. It’s ridiculous.”James is from Krypton; he descended upon the league wearing Superman’s cape. Jokic appears to have wandered into the NBA from a Serbian diner after a fine meal of cabbage rolls. But it’s their basketball vision that will go a long way to determining the winner between the Lakers ...
