• Cody Bellinger avoids discipline after Saturday’s missed bunt

  LOS ANGELES – Pulled from a game two weeks ago for a lack of hustle on a double into AT&T Park’s famed “Triples Alley” in San Francisco, Cody Bellinger’s ill-advised decision to outsmart himself and defy his manager’s wishes Saturday night might have earned him an unscheduled day off.
  It didn’t. Bellinger was in the Dodgers’ lineup for Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati, batting cleanup. Manager Dave Roberts didn’t see the need for any sor

• LAFC earns tie at home vs. New York FC

  13-05-2018 22:13 via ocregister.com
  
  Unlike the previous Sunday night game at the Banc of California Stadium — a stunning 1-0 win in the home opener — there were no late heroics for the Los Angeles Football Club.
  However, there was more than enough action to keep up the suspense against New York City FC during a 2-2 draw, ensuring LAFC an unbeaten first homestand.
  The high-profile teams went after each other from the opening whistle, unleashing an open style of soccer that produced 45 combined shots and 23 corner kicks.

  SACRAMENTO — We’ve known this day was coming: the end of the Jerry Brown administration. For all of Gov. Moonbeam’s flaws, those of us with conservative, libertarian or moderate leanings know that the state government is losing the last adult in charge. The next governor will be less willing to serve as a backstop against a Legislature that’s gone far to the left.

• Whicker: Chuck Knox coached without frills and, too often, without quarterbacks

  13-05-2018 21:03 via ocregister.com
  
  It was a Sunday in 1992, with neither team going anywhere, when Kevin Greene tackled Browning Nagle, the Jets’ quarterback, in the end zone.
  Safety. The Rams got two points and the ball.
  They won, 18-10. Both the win and the safety were like great blue herons for the Rams, rare Anaheim Stadium sightings that deserved commemoration.
  Someone mentioned the safety to Rams coach Chuck Knox, who rarely lapsed into a public smile.

• President Trump and the ‘Capone Doctrine’ for foreign policy

  13-05-2018 20:50 via ocregister.com
  
  It was Al Capone who reportedly said, “You get more with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.”
  That’s the world’s quickest summary of every foreign policy debate in U.S. history.
  Is it smarter to back away with a smile or to run forward with a bayonet? Does appeasement buy time for a real solution, or is belligerence more effective?

• California’s economy will benefit from President Trump’s trade policies

  13-05-2018 20:49 via ocregister.com
  
  While California isn’t Trump country, Californians may find a curious silver lining in the president’s recent actions on trade, particularly with China. In part, that’s because the trade issue doesn’t cut cleanly down party lines. Most of California’s Democratic delegation is ostensibly with the president on trade — and they share his opposition to free trade agreements. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, recently said that he supports President

  In a recent editorial discussing California’s high-speed rail project, this paper commits a common fallacy: It focuses only on costs of building the nation’s first high-speed rail system as a reason for shutting down the project, yet at the same time, ignores much higher costs of doing nothing, and proposes no solutions to deal with California’s maxed-out transportation system.
