SF Giants notes: Late first pitch Sunday vs. Rockies, when Alex Cobb will make his next start, a Marco Luciano update

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:29:04 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — This three-game set against the last-place Rockies, like them all, Giants manager Gabe Kapler said before Friday’s series opener, presents his reeling club “a great opportunity.”“It’s really all about how we keep bouncing back and getting off the mat and continuing to fight,” Kapler said. “You’re going to go through really bad times over the course of a major-league season. Unless you have one of those magical seasons, which this hasn’t been.”The dream season of 2021 this has not been. Coming off a 1-6 road trip, falling back to .500 and 2½ games out of playoff position, the Giants’ series against the Rockies can be viewed one of two ways: a postseason hopeful looking to save its playoff chances or a meeting of the National League’s two worst teams since the trade deadline.Either would be true, which makes ESPN’s decision to select Sunday’s game for primetime even more puzzling. In case you missed it, ...

Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days in the midst of a spate of gun violence.The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police and licensed security guards are exempt from the temporary ban.The order calls for “civil administrative penalties availably by law” that include a fine of up to $5,000, said Caroline Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the governor.People with concealed carry permits are still allowed transport guns to some private locations such as a gun range or gun store — provided...
