He goes and attacks every hitter,” Hernández said. “He’s not afraid to back-to-back fastball, just throw fastball to anybody on the other team.”Kirby was terrific on a day when the Mariners needed a morale boost after they learned starting outfielder Jarred Kelenic will be out for an extended period after breaking a bone in his left foot.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:42:56 GMT

(CNN) — Ucrania luchó para repeler una ola de ataques rusos contra la ciudad sureña de Odesa, pero sus defensas aéreas son incapaces de hacer frente a los tipos de misiles que Moscú usó para golpear la región esta semana.La Fuerza Aérea de Ucrania dijo que destruyó solo cinco de los 19 misiles de crucero rusos disparados contra el país durante la noche del jueves. Esa es una tasa de éxito significativamente más baja en comparación con las oleadas anteriores dirigidas a Kyiv y los funcionarios ucranianos dijeron que se debía a la falta de sistemas de defensa más avanzados en la parte sur del país.La gente de Odesa ya ha soportado tres noches de intenso bombardeo. Un equipo de CNN comenzó a escuchar explosiones alrededor de las 2 a.m. del jueves. Los ataques casi continuos duraron al menos 90 minutos, el zumbido de los drones reverberó a través de la ciudad portuaria.Los bomberos seguían trabajando en el lugar de uno de los ataques, un edificio administrativo, el jueves por la m...

CSX’s second-quarter profit declined as the railroad delivered fewer imported goods

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:42:56 GMT

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Fewer shipping container deliveries this spring hurt CSX railroad’s second-quarter profit and offset a sharp increase in shipments of automobiles, but executives remain optimistic about the economy.CSX said Thursday that it earned $996 million, or 49 cents per share, during the second quarter. That’s down 15% from a year ago when the Jacksonville, Florida-based railroad’s results were helped by a $122 million land sale. Last year, CSX reported earnings of $1.18 billion, or 54 cents per share.That was in line with what analysts surveyed by FactSet Research expected.The total number of shipments CSX delivered slipped 3% in the quarter as it handled 10% fewer intermodal shipping containers. But a 21% jump in automotive shipments provided a meaningful boost to the railroad.CSX executives seemed more concerned with preserving and improving good service than the prospect of a possible recession because several categories of freight they handle are stil...

And so they're some of the eggs just don't hatch and they have to clean out that cell and the queen has to come and lay anot...
