    Reports: MLB submits detailed health plan to players in effort to play amid coronavirus
    If Major League Baseball players are to return to action this summer, they will be playing in an environment that looks significantly different from what they left in March.
    Aside from the expected diligent testing and temperature checks, the changes include everything from pitchers bringing their own baseballs to the bullpen, wearing masks in the dugout and limitations on spitting.
    Players will even be discouraged from taking showers at the ballpark.

    Craig Counsell calls former UC Irvine star Keston Hiura ‘gifted’
    Keston Hiura drags his front foot back for a little toe tap, then kicks that leg high and forward as he’s about to make contact with the baseball. It’s a unique right-handed swing, but it has worked wonders for him.
    “He’s a special hitter, is what he is,” then-UC Irvine head coach Mike Gillespie said in February 2017, just ahead of Hiura’s final season with the Anteaters.
    Special, indeed. After batting .442 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs that season at UCI,

    Recipe: Take green salad up a notch with blackberries and herbed goat cheese
    It’s handy to have a jar filled with sliced, marinated goat cheese in the fridge. It’s delicious spread on slices of French baguette or crackers; or draped atop sliced apples or jicama. Mixed green salad topped with one or two slices is my favorite way to use goat cheese, especially if the mix includes fresh blackberries (other berries can be substituted, as well as sliced apples, sliced kumquats or tangerine sections).
    For the marinade, I riff on Ina Garten’s recipe for Layere
