SF Giants’ Alex Cobb reaches strikeout milestone vs. Padres: ‘I’ll remember that one’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:42:47 GMT

MEXICO CITY — Alex Cobb remembers his first. And, after reaching a meaningful milestone Sunday against the Padres, he won’t forget his thousandth, either.With a nasty knuckle curve, Cobb got San Diego shortstop Xander Bogaerts swinging for strike three, his seventh strikeout of the game and the final out of the fifth inning. Twelve years since he punched out his first batter, he did it for the 1,000th time of his career.“It does mean a lot,” Cobb said. “It’s a lot of years, a lot of work that’s been put into that. It’s an arbitrary number but it looks really pretty and it’s just a moment to look back and reflect.”Cobb became the 544th player to reach that pretty, arbitrary number, which might sound like a lot. But it’s a fraction of the thousands of arms to throw a major-league pitch over the past 146 years. And for him, it came after the Giants and weighted-ball work helped him, in his mid-30s, throw harder than ever before and rediscover the suc...

Sanders deja de lado las preocupaciones sobre la edad de Biden: “La edad es una cosa. Creo que la experiencia es otra”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:42:47 GMT

(CNN) — Bernie Sanders, senador por Vermont, dejó de lado este domingo las preocupaciones sobre la edad del presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, tras el anuncio de su candidatura a la reelección: “La edad es una cosa. Creo que la experiencia es otra”.El senador independiente, que a sus 81 años es un año mayor que Biden, dijo a Dana Bash de CNN en “State of the Union” que “si crees en la democracia, si quieres que vote más gente y no menos, creo que la elección está bastante clara. Y esa elección es Biden”.Sanders, que se alinea con los demócratas en el Senado, respaldó la candidatura de reelección de Biden la semana pasada, y es probable que el presidente disfrute de un camino fácil hacia la nominación demócrata de 2024.

Kennedy Jr. le desafían en las primarias, pero no se espera que ningún candidato demócrata importante se una a ellos.Sin embargo, a sus 80 años, Biden...
