Halfway through Seattle’s preseason schedule means that we’re halfway to being called upon to name the 53 players for the regular-season roster. Rost’s takeaways: Seahawks’ offense takes chances vs Chargers Below is a look at the three biggest lessons from Saturday’s preseason game in San Diego, which was most notable for the way the Seahawks’ starting offense fizzled when it got close to the end zone. Three things we learned Brandon Marshall is making this team. Wait. Better knock on wood. (Raps knuckles against skull.) Because injury is the only thing that will keep that from happening. After being limited for the first week of training camp, the 34-year-old Marshall… Read More

The Mariners are expected to make a number of roster moves prior to their series opener against the Astros Monday night, including one that Mariners fans on social media (and hosts from 710 ESPN Seattle) have been calling for. Following the Mariners’ 12-1 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon, ESPN’s Marley Rivera tweeted this: Guillermo Heredia is packing his bags, he‘s been sent down by the Mariners. He told me that Scott Servais told him it’s because they’re going to face a few right-handed pitchers in a row. https://t.co/T6lyCJk3ho — Marly Rivera (@MarlyRiveraESPN) August 20, 2018 The corresponding move for Guillermo Heredia heading to Triple-A Tacoma is expected to… Read More

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Jason Vargas never talks to fans from the on-deck circle, just like major league teams never line up after a game and shake hands. Put a big league game in a tiny park full of 11 and 12 year olds, though, and those kinds of customs get tossed aside. Amed Rosario had three hits and drove in three runs, and the New York Mets went from cheering on players in the Little League World Series to impressing the youngsters in an 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night. Jeff McNeil added a two-run single to back Vargas (3-8) as the Mets claimed the second Little… Read More

PROVO — Earlier in the week, Dusty Fielding said he was seriously considering giving up competitive golf after the Siegfried & Jensen Utah Open. So after the 35-year-old Richfield native went out and won the tournament, besting everyone else in the 156-player field and earning a check for $20,000, what does he think about talk of retirement now? Well, Sunday’s victory at Riverside Country Club didn’t necessarily change his mind, but it certainly gave him second thoughts. “I’ve been trying to win this for a long time. It was good to be the guy who played well the final round.” Dusty Fielding Fielding erased ghosts of near-misses in past Utah… Read More

Sometimes the affection is palpable. Like when Taylorsville quarterback Dane Leituala makes sure they share the burden and reward of a fundraiser, or when Riverton cross-country runner Joey Nokes, breathless from winning the Highland Invitational, said the reason he pushes himself through the sport’s most challenging aspects is for the guys and girls who suffer with him. Sometimes, it shows up in a thank you or a compliment, like when Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley takes the time to thank tight end Jake Jackson for the perfect block. Most of the time, however, it manifests itself through good-natured teasing, like when the Granger football players try to make each other laugh… Read More

INDIANAPOLIS — Sung Hyun Park blew one chance to jump back on top of the world Sunday. The South Korean star made sure it didn’t happen again. After missing a short birdie putt on the final hole of regulation and leaving the door open for Lizette Salas, Park made a 15-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff to win the Indy Women in Tech Championship and reclaim the No. 1 spot. “I’m very honoured to be ranked No. 1 and I hope to maintain that ranking for a long time,” she said through an interpreter after shooting a 3-under 69 for a four-round total of 23-under 265.… Read More
