• No sign that controversy is distracting Dodgers or Shohei Ohtani

  28-03-2024 23:03 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — A big piece of the mythology surrounding Shohei Ohtani is his laser focus on baseball.
  Even apparent betrayal by a close friend, his interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, and the gambling scandal surrounding it doesn’t seem to have rocked that focus.
  “He’s handled it with flying colors,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I just don’t think it’s going to affect performance. I really don’t. I kind of touched on it the other day, just

  IRVINE — The first two sets of the boys volleyball playoff match between Cypress and University on Saturday could have gone either way.
  But University was able to put forth just enough of a spurt down the stretch to win both sets against the visiting Centurions.
  The Trojans had a bit of an easier time of it in the third set and came away with a 25-23, 25-23, 25-20 sweep in the second of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs.

• Swanson: Paul George’s foul trouble adds to Clippers’ troubles

  DALLAS — You expected Kawhi Leonard to be listed as questionable before Game 4 of Clippers first-round Western Conference playoff series Sunday. Because you, me, we all see it: The man is fighting stubborn right knee inflammation and it doesn’t look like a fair fight.
  What you probably didn’t expect so far this series is how questionable Paul George has been.

• Angels’ Zach Neto has been relaxed at the plate, getting better results

  28-04-2024 01:56 via ocregister.com
  
  ANAHEIM — As Zach Neto continues to learn what it takes to be successful in the majors, he’s taken a lesson from track and field.
  “Track stars don’t run at 100%,” the Angels shortstop said on Saturday. “They tend not to run their fastest or tense up. When they run at 85%, they are nice and loose, their minds working, and they’re the fastest they can be. That’s what I’m trying to be. I’m trying to be loose up there and just let my instin

  TORONTO — Don’t tell Dave Roberts it looks like his team has flipped a switch over the past week. But he does see a different urgency from the Dodgers during the six-game winning streak that has followed their desultory 2-6 stretch at home.
  “I don’t want to say flip it on. But I think there’s more attention paid to certain situations, certain at-bats, making sure the defense is tightened up. The pitchers are a little more focused on going a little deeper, making bet

  TORONTO — Starting pitchers have been going down with injuries all around the majors in such alarming numbers that veteran Justin Verlander called it a “pandemic.”
  Then there’s Tyler Glasnow – been there, done that.
  The Dodgers traded for Glasnow and signed him to a rich contract extension for that reason, believing Glasnow was entering a new phase in his career in which good health would allow him to fully embrace the ace-like tendencies they saw in his past.

  Trevor Moore and Zach Hyman entered the first-round grudge match between the Kings and Edmonton Oilers as the leading goal-scorers for their clubs, but when they broke into the league with the Toronto Maple Leafs, expectations were much lower.
  Hyman, 31, was a fifth-round draft pick while Moore, 29, was not selected at all. This season, Hyman’s 54 goals led a roster with three Hart Trophy winners among its ranks and Moore’s 31 tallies paced a Kings ensemble brimming with bigger-ticke

  They face a 2-1 series deficit against the Oilers and, as of now, are only certain of a Game 5 in Edmonton beyond Sunday’s Game 4.
