• Shohei Ohtani returns to Angels lineup after rough start

  27-07-2020 23:59
  
  OAKLAND — At least Shohei Ohtani had something to do on Monday to take his mind off his disappointing start on Sunday.
  The silver lining to Ohtani’s 30-pitch start was that it allowed the Angels to use him as the designated hitter on Monday. It was the first time in his big league career that he was in the lineup to hit the day after he pitched.
  Normally, the Angels would give him the day off before and after, but his workload was so light on Sunday — when he faced six batters

• Orange County housing mystery: All-time high prices with record low sales?

  27-07-2020 23:58
  
  Orange County homebuyers last month bought the fewest homes for any June on record but still paid an all-time high price.
  DQNews reports Orange County closed sales stats in June show …
  • 2,447 homes sold, existing and new — down 22.1% in a year. This was the slowest June for homebuying in the DQNews database that dates to 1988.

• Anthony Rendon moving closer to debut with Angels

  27-07-2020 23:50
  
  OAKLAND — Joe Maddon expects Anthony Rendon’s debut with the Angels to come on Tuesday or Wednesday.
  The Angels’ $245-million, free-agent acquisition was not in the lineup on Monday for the fourth game of the season with his new team because of oblique tightness.
  He has taken ground balls and batting practice three days in a row, though. Maddon said the Angels considered having him play on Monday, but decided to take the cautious route and wait at least one more day.

  27-07-2020 23:43
  
  A vegetation fire in the Bolsa Chica wetlands charred more than 62 acres Sunday but preservationists say the area will recover from the damage and it appears most of the wildlife were not majorly impacted by the blaze.
  The blaze set off fearsome blankets of smoke over the land,  popularly known as the Mesa, near the 3800 block of Warner Avenue in the Huntington Beach area. The flames were first reported at around 4 p.m. and moved quickly with onshore winds through the dry brush. Firefighter

  Thursday, a couple hours before the official start of the new season, Major League Baseball owners ratified a 16-team playoff structure. It was no more radical, perhaps, than the idea of a 60-game regular season. No plan is too large for last-minute tinkering this year – not in this, the shortest and strangest of seasons.
  MLB will have to adjust on the fly again after postponing two games Monday. A total of 11 Miami Marlins players reportedly tested positive for coronavirus in Philadelphia

  The silver lining provided by some past pandemics has been that they opened minds, awakening entire nations and continents to what was wrong with the way things previously were.
  So it was, for example, with the bubonic plague of the 1300s, also known as the “black death,” which produced labor shortages that started the demise of the feudal system, turning serfs into free people if they could reach the walled cities of the time.

  It seems years ago, but it has only been five months since Orange County and the country entered COVID-19 acute crisis mode.
  Collectively, we were able to prevent a “peak and surge” when we shut the doors of non-essential businesses, pivoted to remote education, donned masks, and hunkered down – for almost two months, COVID-19 cases grew slowly in OC.
  Those months at home also bought us much needed time to better understand the virus. We learned that symptomatic and asymptomati

  A wave of hasty firings is sweeping across the country, driven by demands from what some call the “cancel culture.”
  The New York Times editorial page editor James Bennett ran an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, that displeased the paper’s readers and some colleagues, so he lost his job.

  His first major league appearance as a pitcher in 693 days was, at best, disappointing and, at worst, deeply concerning.
