Hours before their winner-take-all Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers called an audible, announcing Thursday morning that Corey Knebel, not Julio Urías, will start in the biggest game of their season.
Urías is not injured or otherwise unavailable. He will pitch Thursday night at some point. This is just another example of Major League Baseball in 2021.
Knebel will serve as an opener, forcing the Giants to either tailor their lineup, or at least the top of it, to face the right-hander to avoid giving the Dodgers the matchup advantage for an inning or yield a mismatch.
Several inflammatory emails by Jon Gruden were filed as exhibits in federal court by Washington Football Team owner Daniel Snyder's attorneys in mid-June, almost four months before they were leaked to two newspapers.
The heavily redacted emails between Gruden and then-Redskins president Bruce Allen include offensive language, chummy conversations with journalists and a barrage of complaints about the state of the #NFL.
Gruden’s name is redacted in most of the emails filed in court, replaced with "ESPN Personality."
He was employed by the network as the "Monday Night Football" analyst before rejoining the Raiders in 2018.
Joanne Kumamoto said her father, Jiro Oishi, was a fourth-year USC student in business who only needed to take his finals to earn his degree when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
Oishi was picked up by law enforcement in what turned out to be a case of mistaken identity and sent to a federal penitentiary in Montana, missing his exams. latimes.com/california/sto…
He was not allowed to take his finals or complete his degree, returned to Los Angeles after the war, and started over as a gardener, Kumamoto said. latimes.com/california/sto…
L.A. City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted Wednesday on federal charges that he took bribes from a USC dean in exchange for directing millions of dollars in public funding to the university when he was on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.
Ridley-Thomas is accused of conspiring with the then dean of USC’s School of Social Work to steer county money to the university in return for admitting his son Sebastian into the graduate school with a full-tuition scholarship and a paid professorship. latimes.com/local/lanow/la…
Ridley-Thomas, one of the most powerful figures in Los Angeles politics, is the third L.A. City Council member to face federal corruption charges over the last two years. latimes.com/california/sto…
All summer long, the #Dodgers chased the San Francisco #Giants.
So, it’s only right that first postseason meeting in the 131-year-old rivalry’s history will be decided in a winner-take-all Game 5 in the #NLDS on Thursday.
The clubs will take the field at Oracle Park for their most important clash since they moved from New York to California together ahead of the 1958 season.
For all the expectations placed on the Dodgers’ expensive, star-studded roster, the Giants, surprising contenders this season, hold a 12-11 edge. The Dodgers, however, have outscored them 96-87.
L.A. City Council members are urging new measures to protect residents from extreme heat, citing a recent L.A. Times investigation that revealed the state has failed to adequately address the health dangers of worsening heat waves.
The motion directs the city to report back on the status and cost of a surveillance system to track “when and where heat-related deaths are occurring, the identification of vulnerable populations in those locations" and plans to minimize deaths. latimes.com/california/sto…
City Councilman Paul Koretz said in an interview that his motion was inspired by The Times’ reporting and made him realize that “people are dying from the heat, and we’re really not focused on it.” latimes.com/projects/calif…
