Brett Baty reflects on first MLB stint: ‘I didn’t really know what I was running out to play in front of’

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:10:25 GMT

As comfortable as Brett Baty felt at the plate last August, nothing could have prepared him for running out of the visitor’s tunnel at Truist Park and seeing more than 40,000 fans in the stands as he made his MLB debut.The minor leagues and spring training might prepare players for the next level of baseball in many ways, but you can’t truly understand what it’s like to play in a big league game until you’re actually playing in one.Now that Baty has played in 20 of them, he’s much more used to the routines, the travel and especially the crowds.“In Atlanta last year, I didn’t really know what I was running out to play in front of,” Baty told the Daily News on Friday before the Mets began a four-game series against the Braves at Citi Field. “Now I’m kind of comfortable with it and I know what to expect.”This is what Baty predicted last week when the Mets brought him up from Syracuse to Los Angeles for two road series ag...

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:10:25 GMT

The Red Sox pitching staff has suffered another blow.Garrett Whitlock has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow ulnar neuritis, the club announced Friday afternoon. Second-year righty Brayan Bello has been recalled from Worcester and will take Whitlock’s spot in the rotation, putting him in line to pitch Saturday against Cleveland.Ulnar neuritis is irritation and inflammation of the ulnar nerve, which runs along the inside portion of the elbow and can lead to pain, numbness, tingling and weakness of the involved hand. Whitlock said the sensation he’s been feeling is “hard to describe” but that despite his prior history with Tommy John surgery there is no concern he might need the procedure again.“We’re not concerned with it being anything like Tommy John so I’m not really worried about the ligament at this point,” Whitlock said.Whitlock said he began feeling discomfort prior to his last start on Saturday and that he f...

Quick Fix: Tortilla strips a colorful addition to taco salad

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:10:25 GMT

Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News ServiceHere’s a new take on one of America’s very popular Tex-Mex dishes: the taco salad. It has the flavors of a handheld taco but with a new twist. Instead of using tortilla chips, I use tortilla strips. When I found multicolored ones ready-made at the market, I decided they would make a colorful, crunchy addition to a salad. A dressing made with salsa mixed with yogurt adds a little extra spice.I use shrimp in this salad, but you can use chicken, beef or even any leftover protein you might have on hand.Helpful Hints:— You can use broken tortilla chips instead of tortilla strips.— You can use any type of cheese.— If your chili powder or ground cumin is more than 6 months old, it’s best to buy new ones.— You can use any type of salsa.— Place frozen corn kernel in a strainer and run hot water over them to quickly defrost them.Countdown:— Assemble all ingredients.— Mix dressing together and set aside.— Make salad.Shopping List:To buy: 1 jar salsa, 1 ...
