And against minor leaguers, the results aren’t as much of a concern. On Thursday, Lester was working on his fastball command up in the zone. He was hit hard a few times in that such area, including on a homer. Lester isn’t bothered by the results as much as he is focused on the goal. “Ups and downs are what really matter,” Maddon said. “So if you have that 75-pitch day and you want the pitcher to have five ups and downs, you can control that.

... Wright over the years, says the Villanova coach just wanted to congratulate him on a career calling football games that goes all the way back to KTBC-TV in his hometown of Austin, Texas, a station that was owned by President Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird. It’s not the first phone call Lundquist said he’s received from Villanova’s coach after a broadcast. Back in 2003, Lundquist and his former broadcast partner, Bill Raftery, were tasked with calling a late-season Wildcats game the day after 12 players were suspended after using a university access code to make unauthorized telephone calls. “Villanova lost, as they were expected to, with more than half their team suspended,” Lundquist said. “The next day, I got a call from Jay Wright, who said, ‘I just watched the tape of the game, and I just want you to know how pleased I was how you and Bill handled the situation.’ ”. “That type of phone call is rare in our business,” Lundquist continued. “So, I am disposed to think very highly of Jay.”.

Penny joined USA Gymnastics in 1999 and was named the organization’s president in 2005, overseeing one of the greatest runs in Olympic history. Led by national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, the women’s program has become a dominant force, producing each of the last four Olympic all-around champions and team golds in 2012 and 2016. The success turned gymnasts like Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson into stars and made USA Gymnastics a magnet for big-time corporate sponsors who wanted to be aligned with its healthy, winning image. That image took a serious hit in recent months following an investigation by the  Indianapolis Star  that portrayed USA Gymnastics as slow to act when it came to addressing allegations of sexual abuse by a team doctor and coaches at member gyms across the country. “The Board believes this change in leadership will help USA Gymnastics face its current challenges and implement solutions to move the organization forward in promoting a safe environment for its athletes at all ...

"We have asked Raycom repeatedly to allow our customers to watch while we work this business matter out privately, but Raycom continues to refuse," AT&T said in a written statement. CBS was scheduled to broadcast four games as part of its March Madness coverage Thursday, starting around noon. ...
