It’s unfortunate, but we’ll wait and see in the next hour or so. We still have a little bit of time to see where we’re at with him and the possibility of him coming around. But we have to be honest, it’s not great news.”García grabbed his left side while coming out of the batter’s box on his flyout against Luis Frías in the eighth inning.

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz says midseason announcement on son’s 2024 removal against program’s philosophy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:44:59 GMT

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Kirk Ferentz’s longstanding philosophy has been to evaluate the various facets of his Iowa football program at the end of each season. Interim athletic director Beth Goetz took matters into her own hands and did a midseason assessment of one of the 25th-year coach’s staff members, announcing offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz would be out in 2024.Kirk Ferentz deflected most questions Tuesday about his son’s looming removal but indicated he was not on board with the timing of the announcement. He said the end of the season is a better time for making decisions because less emotion is involved.“I can give you a lot of reasons why I’ve done it that way, but it really doesn’t matter,” he said. “It’s really not significant right now because we’re dealing with something that we have to deal with, and we will.”Iowa ranks 133rd, and last, in the Bowl Subdivision in total offense. The Hawkeyes are 108th in rushing, 128th in passing and 118th in...

D-backs’ Zac Gallen prepares for World Series Game 5, tries to shake mediocre postseason

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:44:59 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Brandon Pfaadt’s quick improvement on the mound has been critical for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the postseason, and Merrill Kelly’s been rock solid, delivering multiple excellent outings, including his most recent in a Game 2 win during this World Series.As for ace righty Zac Gallen? He’s been just OK.It’s been a disappointing postseason for the All-Star as he prepares to take the mound for Game 5 against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. So far in October, he has a 2-2 record and a 5.27 ERA.“We’ve got to remember that Zac spoils us,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday. “He goes out there and goes five, six, seven innings every single time. And inside of that, he might give up two or three runs, but we’re so used to him giving up zero or one runs.”Gallen has been competitive in his five postseason starts, throwing at least five innings in all of them. But he’s also given up 13 earned runs over the past 16 innings while surre...
