Morton trialled 29.44 at his first look at the new track and reports are that the best on Q2 to date is 29.38 "We could not have been happier with the way Morton handled the track," he added Sharp is also well aware of the teething problems being sorted at The Q "It is not as though those in charge are starting with just one track and ironing out problems," he said ‘"They have three entirely different racetracks "There was always going to be teething problems We are talking three different tracks remember."

After Harrison said repeatedly last week that "defense wins championships" while defending the trade Doncic was asked by ESPN his reaction to the session saying that the GM's comments were "sad" and that he wanted to move on who said last week that he still hadn't spoken to the five-time All-NBA player who led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season and I'm just ready to move on with this team that we have." Harrison Ford reunited with Helen Mirren at a 1923 event after starring together in the devastating season two finale of the Western drama On Sunday, the acting legends joined forces for a FYC event at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Los Angeles to discuss the latest season of the show Ford, 82, and Mirren, 79, last left fans of the hit series, the prequel to Paramount's Yellowstone and the sequel to 1883, heartbroken with the season finale last month. They were last seen together as Jacob and Cara Dutton after first starring opposite each other as a married couple nearly four decades ago the duo had warm smiles on their faces as they posed alongside each other as well as their costars Julia Schlaepfer and Aminah Nieves Ford looked dapper in a black blazer layered over a classic T-shirt A-line tea dress with a chic headband and pointed-toe oxford heels for their stunning series event showed the Duttons preparing for war against Banner's men The action-packed episode and tense battle resulted in several casualties which included fan-favorite characters before 1923 came to a close in a dramatic fashion After last month's episode that ultimately became a bloodbath, with seven main characters being killed off 1923 came to a close in quite the dramatic fashion And that was all before the this week's finale that saw the battle for the iconic Yellowstone-Dutton Ranch culminate in a massive gun battle at the real train station and the ranch itself The finale also finally reunited the beloved couple Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) and Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) after traumatic journeys on both sides While there were many other minor character deaths Though Alex does finally reunite with her love Alex and deliver their child - who is most likely John Dutton II, the father of Kevin Costner's John Dutton III - they don't have a happy ending though being stranded in the freezing cold ultimately took its toll Alex has been on quite the tumultuous journey from her native England to New York City to Chicago where she was befriended by an affluent couple who decide to drive her to Montana when her train was canceled they didn't heed the gas station lady's warning that their car won't make it to Montana and they ran out of gas While Paul and Hillary both succumbed to the elements after trying to warm themselves with liquor seen in the finale making a fire inside the car She was ultimately saved when Spencer's train passed her and literally jumped off the train to rescue her an act so bold he inspired the train to stop so they could catch up and warm up While doctors wanted to prep her for surgery to amputate her feet and hands succumbing to her aliments just after reuniting with the love of her life Spencer The narration of Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) revealed that Spencer never married again though he 'found comfort' with another widow some revealing they wanted Alex to live and some even claiming they'll never watch another show from creator Taylor Sheridan again Many were heartbroken like Madi (@japrilotp) who said 'Reflecting on #1923TV and I'm so broken hearted about what I went through this season….i was given real hope and then they good the gloves off of Alex's fingers…whoever is responsible for it…you suck.' Pammy Fels (@casunprincess) enjoyed the finale sobbed three times during the finale of 1923 F***ing heartbreaking and oddly in its own way perfect John Dutton absolutely had to come from the bloodline of Spencer and Alex Others like @MattFisher515 didn't mince words 'Without a doubt - @1923official Season 2 is the biggest piece of dogs**t ever written Imagine thinking so lowly of your viewers that you think anyone would believe this trash Another user dubbed Madi (@japrilotp) said An X user named @clichecultural had high praise the building up into Alex and Spencer getting back together was so good I love that Elsa keeps narrating those epilogues Love that little Titanic ending with them reuniting in the afterlife.' Others like @bandofbuffoons were annoyed with creator Taylor Sheridan 'He could've written anything and he chose to write that. 'I feel like I need to watch Harry Potter or Care Bears or something to erase my brain from that #1923TV trauma Andreia (@odonnellsptfan) also had high praise Numerous characters were killed off in the multiple gunfights featured in the two-hour finale including Clyde (Brian Konowal) and Alec (Colt Brown) two livestock agents who were actually spies for Whitfield Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves) was ultimately apprehended by Marshal Mamie Fossett (Jennifer Carpenter) and taken in front of a judge the prosecutors could present no evidence or witnesses to support any kind of murder charge as she admits she doesn't think she has a home to go to One of Fossett's Indian deputies suggests she simply finds a new home It was never confirmed in the series but it's believed that Teonna is an important ancestor to the Rainwater Indian tribe from the original Yellowstone flagship series Spencer also got to get his revenge on the man who started this war against his family adding he's responsible for the death of his wife and Jacob saying he wants to make an example of Donald so nobody comes after him it was learned this season that Whitfield actually discovered the iconic 'train station' - a county with a population of zero - where the Dutton family in Yellowstone has disposed of dead bodies and never told anyone but his people about it it's still unclear how the Dutton's come across this geographical oddity Creator Taylor Sheridan is also developing another prequel series to Yellowstone entitled 1944, seemingly following the next generation of Dutton's to take over the land. He's also developing a spin-off set in the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, and a modern-day spin-off called The Madison.  Major terror attack 'was just HOURS away' before it was foiled by the special forces and police:...

Michael Dunlop Peter Hickman and Davey Todd - take to the top step of the podium while the likes of Harrison and Josh Brookes breached the rostrum in the big bike classes Harrison is a three-time winner at the event and has been a regular frontrunner for years positioning himself as one of the TT’s ‘big four’ names he notes that competition is better than it has ever been and is only growing “You look at the current crop of riders and the competition is probably as fast as it’s ever been and there’s more people in a smaller space of time which makes life very difficult,” he said during the TT Live podcast recording Last year saw Harrison swap Kawasaki machinery for Honda bikes when he joined the works team for the brand alongside John McGuinness The Honda team had a trouble-filled preparation for the TT as delays in parts meant it didn’t have its full compliment of bikes for the North West 200 just weeks before the Isle of Man event Harrison battled problems on his Honda Superbike during practice week at the TT which meant he had to race it with a Superstock engine - likening this to bringing “a knife to a gun fight” he came away from TT 2024 with four podiums “I didn’t feel like I got the best out of the Superbike last year with getting moved between classes and stuff like that because we started the season quite fast on the Superbike at BSB level,” he said “And then it sort of got switched because of parts and stuff “The North West 200 unfortunately we only had one Superstock bike there was a delay in parts getting the Suprsport and Superbike built “We got to the TT  and we had issues with the Superbike “So we ran a Superstock engine in a Superbike chassis which when you’re trying to compete against Pete [Hickman] if you’ve not got the same speed and pace out of your bike as they do if you have your bike and they have their bike you feel sometimes you’re bringing a knife to a gun fight.” © Crash Media Group Ltd 2025.The total or partial reproduction of text photographs or illustrations is not permitted in any form Already have an account?

confronts visitors with a provocative question: What does it mean to be both “elegant” and “violent?” Women’s rugby team member Josie Harrison ’25 curated “Elegantly Violent: Exploring Masculinity and Gender Expectations within Women’s Sports.”   The exhibition is a mix of modern and contemporary art from the past 120 years Harrison organized the exhibition in her capacity as a Mellon Special Project intern at the Hood.  Its title is derived from a nickname for rugby: “elegant violence.” Harrison said that this phrase perfectly encapsulates the tension female athletes navigate “The sport I play has a lot of gender discourse around it,” Harrison said Harrison designed the exhibition space with Bavarian forest green walls and cherry wood frames — colors and materials designed to “play on ideas of masculinity” that are traditionally associated with masculine spaces like studies or gentlemen’s libraries.  The green walls also represent Dartmouth’s school colors — a tribute to the College’s female athletes nine have never before been displayed at the Hood Museum A centerpiece of the exhibition is “Audrey Resting in Her Corner,” a photograph by Delilah Montoya portraying a female boxer between rounds while stereotypically-feminine legs in high heels walk past the camera in the foreground This work presents a view of femininity in boxing that better reflects the more complex reality of gender norms in the sport “You potentially have people adhering to stereotypes like the hyper-sexualized expectations of a ring girl,” she said “Then you also have two examples where stereotypes maybe aren’t being adhered to: the female boxer and the woman who is breaking stereotypes from the spectatorship point of view.” Harrison organized the exhibition into four thematic “chapters.” She begins with historical context moves to the central concept of elegant violence explores intersectional identities and concludes with pieces that question the viewer as a spectator.  One standout work is “The Competition” by Marnie Webber a photo montage featuring female bodybuilders with their heads swapped for antlered animals.  “It’s one of those pieces where the closer you get to it “You have to get close to see the full extent of it.” Harrison also highlighted the work “Ashley Tappin which shows the Olympic swimmer with ice bags on her shoulders — a universal athletic treatment that transcends gender.  this one was the only one she found that was displayed in a black rather than cherry wood frame She said she chose to keep the original frame to reflect what she considered to be unique about the piece: that compared to the others “It’s the one piece where I don’t really talk about gender,” Harrison said “This person is a high-performance athlete showcasing a universal experience of athletes.”  The Hood campus engagement manager Jenna Blair who worked closely as Harrison’s mentor during the exhibition’s development highlighted the importance of student-curated exhibitions to the Hood’s mission as a teaching institution “We get to see how students interpret works in the collection,” Blair said “They bring creative and diverse perspectives to bringing these artworks to life.” what makes Harrison’s exhibition particularly meaningful is how it connects to current campus experiences “We’re talking about experiences that might be shared “with Josie in particular bringing her personal perspective but also with the wide variety of athletes on campus who are going through some similar things with their careers,” Blair said Harrison organized a panel discussion in conjunction with the exhibition which Blair said was an important way to “activate the conversation outside of just the exhibition itself.” a masters of public health student at the Geisel School of Medicine found the exhibition deeply thought-provoking – particularly in how it revealed societal pressures faced by female athletes While examining the photograph “Ashley Tappin USA” Zaragoza noted its emotional heaviness.  “She’s holding the weight of what’s happening,” Zaragoza said “It’s conveying the weight of societal pressures the weight of expectations and stereotypes and the weight of her trying to break those barriers Harrison hopes the exhibition will prompt Dartmouth students to examine their consumption of women's sports If you just watch men’s sports but don’t watch women’s sports “Why aren’t you consuming this when you’re consuming the exact same thing but for a different gender?” Harrison’s exhibition asks viewers to sit with uncomfortable questions about how society treats female athletes As each visitor passes by the green walls filled with images of women’s strength her message becomes clear: the conversation about gender in sports is only beginning “Elegantly Violent” will remain on display at the Hood Museum until May 25 Harrison’s gallery talk will be held this Wednesday Dean Harrison reckons his Superbike is “not a million miles away” either ahead of the NW200 After switching mid-season to racing the British Supersport Championship in 2024 Dean Harrison is there from the off in 2025 with Honda Racing UK but doesn’t feel he’s too far away from having his Superbike where he wants it for the road racing season as a result of his short circuit change Harrison was the fifth-fastest Supersport bike on the combined times at the recent Oulton Park BSB test, but has only ridden his Superbike for “just over a day” during preseason. “The whole of testing has been really good, to be fair,” Harrison told Crash.net at the Oulton Park test. “I think the weather was really good in Spain, we had a little bit of rain but only for one day. “Apart from that, we’ve just been testing loads of little things. “I haven’t had as much time on the Superbike as I’d have liked, I’ve only had sort of just over a day on that which is not perfect but it’s not too bad, it wasn’t a million miles away, so I’m looking forward to jumping on that at the North West [200]. The 600 was good, the [Superstock] was going good. Harrison’s full-time switch to Honda Racing UK’s Supersport team for 2025 places him alongside Jack Kennedy for the season, the Dubliner entering this season off the back of a fifth British Supersport title in 2024. It’s a position Harrison believes should help him to extract more from the CBR600RR. “I have the five-time British Champion [as a teammate],” he said. “But that’s a good thing, I think, because whatever he’s doing is near enough the limit of the bike. I’m not far off the limit of the bike, I don’t feel, and I feel good in myself.” On the roads, the Supersport class was a decent one for Harrison in 2024, finishing on the podium in both Supersport TTs in his first year on the CBR600RR, but the Bradford rider – now based out of Laxey on the Isle of Man – believes his whole Supersport programme is a step forward from last year. “I think definitely this year it will make a step,” he said. “The bike’s made a step, I’ve made a step, we’ve got more power with the bike – it’s just got a year’s development under it, really. “I think it’s going to be one of the strongest classes for us, the Supersport, and I’m looking forward to getting going. “It handles well, that’s one of its strong sides. Last year the bike was brand new and it was a bit of a rush, let’s say. I feel now we’re in a bit of a better position with all of the bikes.” Even with only the Superstock bike available last year, Harrison was able to be competitive in the second Superbike race at the North West 200 last year, finishing third. Having the full roster available this year means that he is approaching the Portrush event with optimism. “I made the best of what I could at the time,” he said. “I’m looking forward to this year [because] we’ve got more classes, we’ve got a bike for each class so the ‘stocker will get a bit of an easier life. “Honestly, I’m just ready to go now. I feel good in myself, the bikes are there or thereabouts, so I just want to get the ball rolling and see what everyone else is doing.” Giants call up Harrison as reliever; Trivino DFA'd1:06 AM UTCMaria Guardado SAN FRANCISCO -- is back in the big leagues The Giants’ former top prospect was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento following Sunday afternoon’s 9-3 win over the Rockies giving the club another left-handed relief option as it heads to Chicago to kick off a three-game series against the first-place Cubs on Monday night at Wrigley Field Veteran right-hander was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Harrison The 23-year-old was viewed as the favorite for the Giants’ fifth starter spot after recording a 4.56 ERA over 24 Major League starts as a rookie last year, but he ended up losing the competition to Landen Roupp after he was slowed by an illness at the beginning of camp Harrison opened the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Sacramento where he logged a 3.46 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 26 innings across his first six starts of the year He topped out at 97.8 mph while striking out seven over five innings of one-run ball in his last start for the River Cats on Wednesday an encouraging sign after he averaged only 92.5 mph on his four-seam fastball in 2024 “It’s good to see that the velocity is picking up because for a guy like him that’s important,” manager Bob Melvin said last week Harrison was fully stretched out in the Minors and has never made an official relief appearance since being drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2020 Draft out of De La Salle High School in Concord but he’s expected to pitch out of the bullpen for now and serve as the second lefty behind Erik Miller Trivino missed the entire 2023 and ‘24 campaigns while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he came back to win a spot in the Giants’ Opening Day bullpen after impressing as a non-roster invitee this spring the 33-year-old veteran endured a rocky return to the big leagues this year posting a 5.84 ERA over 11 appearances for the Giants Rangitīkei MMA fighters (from left) Rhomeo Baker Baker and Harrison are headed to Europe for the World Kickboxing Association World Championships in October Off the back of a successful outing in the Asia Pacific World Kickboxing Championship in Bali two teenage Rangitīkei fighters will test their abilities on the world stage have qualified to attend the World Kickboxing Association World Championships in Manchester They are also looking to compete at the Unified World Championship in Italy on October 23-26 The teens won two gold medals each at the Asia Pacific World Kickboxing Championship in Bali earning them qualification for the European championships Baker and Harrison train with Rangitīkei MMA Bush said their progress had been massive over the past few years and they were well-deserving of the opportunity to compete internationally “The development that they’ve had over the last couple of years how much time and effort they’ve put into their training the achievements are speaking for themselves,” Bush said Baker (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Tūhoe) was born and raised in Marton while Harrison (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Whātua) is originally from Auckland. Baker has been around the combat community since he was 5 as his older siblings were combat fighters and Bush has trained Harrison from the age of 13. It is estimated they will need about $20,000 between them for their trip. They have been holding raffles and accepting donations but will look for support from agencies that help achieve internationally. Bush labels himself as a “latecomer” into the combat community as he started in 2010 and set up Rangitīkei MMA in 2020. His gym is nearly 40 members strong, with four juniors and eight seniors in the fight team. Bush was proud of how his project had turned out just five years in and said “the talent is there”. “In another four or five years, if we keep this team together, we’ll have New Zealand and world champions,” Bush said. “We do this for free - kids are free and over 18 is a koha.

Harrison’s blood was special because it contained what the Australian Red Cross described as a “rare and precious” antibody, essential to make anti-D injections. Anti-D injections are a life-saving medication given to RhD-negative mothers whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies. Without it, their babies can suffer haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN), which can be fatal.

"He gotta learn to play defense and get in shape," Barkley added again at the end of the segment. "Try getting in shape first and then it would help."  The first-round exit represents a significant drop off from Doncic, who reached the NBA Finals last year with the Dallas Mavericks. Harrison sent Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis to the dismay and fury of Mavs fans When pressed on why he would make such a deal, Harrison made his reasons clear. "I believe that defense wins championships," Harrison told ESPN "I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance We're built to win now and in the future." Harrison was heavily criticised in the aftermath of the deal, not least from Mavericks fans, who have routinely chanted 'Fire Nico' inside American Airlines Center However, despite the Mavericks not even reaching the playoffs, losing to the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in fans online believe Harrison has been somewhat proven right with his decision to trade Doncic who continues to be a liability on defense "Nico Harrison was right he just didn't piece together the proper trade package," one fan posted. "He knew Luka was a cone on defense, as did the whole Twolves team," one fan wrote on X. Yall just fall in love with offense but forget defense wins championships," another fan wrote on X in reply to a post praising Harrison He knows Luka doesn’t take care of his body and only has a few more years of high level ball Why pay him if he doesn’t take it seriously He knew Luka plays zero defense and takes too many step back 3s," one fan posted you have to not get blown by like this," one fan posted along with a clip of Luka getting easily run past in the first quarter against Minnesota The first postseason of the LeBron-Doncic axis had ended in failure and with James turning 41 next season “I don’t know," James said at the post-game presser when asked how many more years he would play (It’s) Something I sit down with my family and kind of just talk through it and see what happens and just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play."

Key three: Slow start proves costly against Dolphins as skipper awaits fate A pure love for horses that had resonated since childhood was what always underpinned the training career of Bert Harrison And the savvy horseman will long be remembered for his feats in preparing track stars such as Asian Beau and Fait Accompli after he died at the weekend just months after his emotional induction into the WA Racing Hall of Fame last August A life with horses came calling with Harrison being inspired by his uncle Paddy Mulcahy who was an amateur rider in Ireland and the United States And it took precious little time for him to become enamoured with whatever type of equine animal came his way “I’ve loved them the whole time,” he said on the eve of his Hall of Fame induction last year If they realise that you’re kind to them they are all prepared to do their very best for you it’s usually because there is something wrong but it makes a difference in a big race.” winning hundreds of ribbons and awards and once led a four-man WA team that beat the best riders the Eastern States had to offer in a nine-month campaign but meaningful career in WA harness racing That code’s loss was thoroughbred racing’s gain when he quit the harness track after being hospitalised following a Gloucester Park fall that killed his close friend Ron Fletcher Add his thoroughbred racing feats and it was easy to understand why his Hall of Fame gong was beckoning And the best example representing Harrison’s innate horsemanship was surely the flying feet of Fait Accompli After 10 unplaced runs to start a less-then-modest career to that point Fait Accompli was sent to Harrison by frustrated then-trainer Bob Maumill to see if the accomplished events rider-turned-trainer could fix the horse’s habit of running off the track in races The move would see Fait Accompli become the first horse in 46 years to go from winning a maiden race (in Beverley) to claim the 1972 Perth Cup Image: Bert leads Fait Accompli back to the Winners Enclosure after the 1972 Perth Cup But it was not before a painstaking hour after long hour day after day campaign fuelled by the equine love that flooded through his veins he had convinced himself the horse had been leading on wrong leg and simply went to work to right the perceived wrong “I worked out that he could only lead with his right leg … like being either a right or left-handed person,” Harrison recalled “We spent months and months taking him over to the track in Armadale trying to get him to lead on his left leg and he couldn’t do it so I’d just stop and we’d start again he got the idea of leading on the left and people may say that’s bulls..t Horses are beautiful animals who want to please you if they can and once we got him there and he knew what we wanted there was no stopping him “We remember some very happy times with him and in times of achievement It is no fluke that Harrison had his fingerprints all over two of Western Australia’s most brilliant and loved racehorses To complement Fait Accompli’s incredible rise to prominence star sprinter Asian Beau became one of the State’s racing icons winning 12 of 14 starts including the “triple crown” of the Winterbottom Stakes the Lee-Steere Stakes and the coveted 1979 Railway Stakes – Harrison’s favourite win of them all He already had a horse by the name of Windsor Waltz in training when he was encouraged to go and have a look at his half-brother I’d like to have him’,” he said To be able to win the triple crown and the Railway Stakes that was out of this world – just the thrill of a lifetime and something you never forget.” Both stars were owned by a racing identity who would become known as “Lucky” Joe Williams and as a pairing But Harrison admitted to feeling deeply saddened when Asian Beau was sold to one-time high-flying WA businessman Yosse Goldberg for what was believed to be about $650,000 and transferred to trainer George Way Image: Bert Harrison (right) talks to legendary T.J.Smith at Ascot Harrison also saved a special mention for the final galloper he trained He had come out of retirement to train the horse whose final win came in the 1999 Listed Detonator Stakes – just pipping back-to-back Fruit ‘N’ Veg Stakes winner Summer Beau a lovely horse and a good horse,” he said Harrison insisted that the lingering friendships into his twilight years had been the true meaning of a successful career as he celebrated his Hall of Fame induction at a table alongside his long-supporting wife Gail and former riders including Ken Bradley and Graeme Webster Image: Bert celebrates another winner with good friend and regular jockey Graeme Webster Snr “The friendships are all about personalities and they mean everything now,” he said “The old jockeys trusted me to get the horses fit and I trusted them to do the job on the day … and it worked for us We’re just so lucky for someone of my age to still be here and it’s just wonderful to get this honour But when I look back now and see what I’ve done over all those years but it’s been an amazing journey.” Image: Bert celebrates his induction at the 2024 WA Racing Hall of Fame

consecutive halfway cuts “I definitely had a lot of things going my way today and I think to shoot those rounds you have to,” Crowe said so it was nice to keep the momentum going after that one mistake “It’s starting to feel like that (the end of 2024) again It’s been a bit of a slow start this year after a Christmas break and it was nice to have a few things going my way today.” although a miss from three metres on his final hole prevented him for finishing in a share of second with Marchesani The Ford NSW Open champion is part of a Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit dogfight this week and has an early advantage over OOM No.1 Elvis Smylie who shot a 4-under 67 on the Remarkables course “I felt like I’d struggled with the putter for a while and I felt like I putted okay today without being amazing but it wasn’t bad either,” the Ripper GC squad member said “I hit a lot of good putts and just couldn’t get as many to go in as I would’ve liked it’s probably going to be a week of low scoring so it was good to get off to a hot start and not feel like we’re chasing from a long way back.” In the morning groups which were greeted my almost still conditions Josh Geary brought the good form from his Vic Open win at 13th Beach Golf Links earlier this month to the Remarkables course which he toured in 5-under 66 The highlight of his day were three straight birdies from the sixth to the eighth I know what to do if the weather stays calm,” Geary said “You’ve just got to keep your foot down and make a lot of birdies I’d assume that’s how it’s going to go.” Fellow Kiwi Hendry made his way to 6-under late in the afternoon before slipping up with his first bogey of the day “I’m hitting it really well off the so as long as I can keep that going I shouldn’t put myself in too much trouble and then hopefully it’s just about making some putts,” Hendry said West Australian Brett Rumford avoided a potential disaster before he even teed off to turn in a bogey-free 66 as he tries not only to contend for the title but also to keep his game in shape for seniors tour golf which looms in three years’ time Rumford almost made a huge mistake when he came within a couple of minutes of missing his 7.40am tee time “That definitely would’ve got on my nerves Defending champion Takahiro Hataji started with a 2-under-par 70 For the latest news and scores on

Area A 40-man roster spot has also been created with Trivino being DFA’ed though no other transaction appears to be forthcoming to fill that spot Trivino threw a scoreless inning of relief in today’ 9-3 win over the Rockies though his ERA still sits at 5.84 over 12 1/3 frames this season with below-average strikeout and walk rates The righty has been tagged for four home runs during his brief sample size of work and it appears as though the Giants are ready to move on or are at least comfortable in exposing Trivino to the waiver wire Some rust isn’t unusual given Trivino’s long layoff as a Tommy John surgery and some other arm issues kept him from any MLB action at all during the 2023-24 seasons Trivino’s only on-field action in the previous two years was 11 minor league innings with the Yankees last year and some late-season shoulder soreness erased any hope Trivino had of making a late-season return to the Show before 2024 was over He caught on with San Francisco on a minor league contract during the offseason and getting selected to the active roster meant that Trivino locked in a $1.5MM guaranteed salary for the 2025 season making the timing slightly unusual if Harrison is indeed taking Hicks’ rotation spot Over 159 Major League innings during the 2023-24 seasons Harrison seemed set to have a rotation spot lined up heading into 2025 yet a shoulder impingement that cut his 2024 season short in September ended up lingering into the offseason thus delaying his usual winter ramp-up work Between that disruption to Harrison’s routine and a virus that hit him hard during Spring Training the decision was made to have Harrison begin the season in Triple-A in order to let him get fully ready As one of the more highly-touted starting prospects in baseball prior to his first call-up Harrison is a key part of the Giants’ future and a pitcher the team naturally hopes can be a long-term cornerstone That doesn’t necessarily mean Harrison will get another crack in the rotation immediately but this call-up means that the Giants are eager to see how he further adjusts to take big league hitters San Francisco Giants Transactions How are Wilmer and Lee treating you Frugal No mention of Wade I see and let’s check back on Wilmer and his .234 BA in a month and if he is even healthy by then One of the many differences between me and you clowns is I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong and in this case I couldn’t be happier to be wrong about Lee Been almost 7 years since you guys were wrong about Farhan don’t expect any of you have the balls to admit you were blew that one I educate myself as best I can but Im guessing I wasn’t wrong in pushing back on your incessant childish criticism Offensive disrespectful exaggerated rubbish So sticking with the post that started this keep in mind bivens has 2 minor league options left Just wondering if players with options get dfa’d With runners in scoring position he’s hitting .406 It doesn’t matter; they’re both in the wrong league Maybe Birdsong is up next to join the rotation A possible precursor to Roupp going to the pen and Birdsong to the rotation I’m loving birdsong coming in for 2 or 3 after a 5 or 6 inning starter effort I wouldn’t be unhappy if they run a similar strategy with Harrison Starters are more valuable then long relievers He will be in the rotation in the next two months (by July) mark it down They have 4-5 guys ready to take the long relief role when he moves to starter There’s a mop up long guy but I think it’s different with Birdsong You are assuming Melvin uses him correctly He doesn’t seem to have any rhyme or reason to who and how he uses maybe the best pen in the majors There’s been moves that have surprised me but his rhyme and reason is his business Who knows what all the factors are inside the sanctum Those were “bounce off the wall” triples CF does not yet know how to play the wall If the batted ball is going to hit high off the wall the CF shouldn’t stand at the base of the wall and wait for the ball to bounce away making it necessary for the fielder to sprint after it to track it down as the batter takes an extra base or two as a result of the MISPLAY To be honest those two triples would have been homers in about 90 percent of all the other ballparks Hicks needs to step aside and let someone like Harrison or Birdsong start; your ego will ruin your career Hicks would put one on your nose if you asked him to step aside for someone else More about competitor than big ego with Hicks it’ll be management’s call
