Colorado natives Tyler Rogers, Taylor Rogers relishing time together in Giants bullpen as fourth twins to be MLB teammates

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:57:04 GMT

The Rogers twins keep waiting for somebody to pinch them.Chatfield alums Tyler and Taylor are in their first season together on the San Francisco Giants and checked off another pie-in-the-sky feat this week with a three-game series at Coors Field, where they admitted their intertwined baseball lives feel more like dream than reality.“We keep having these ‘This is frickin cool’ milestones,” Taylor said. “In spring training, in the corner we had three lockers that were in its own little section. That set the feeling in. Then we opened up a Yankee Stadium — and the conversation was like, ‘Dude can you imagine 15-year-old us believing this?’ Then Tuesday, we drove to the ballpark together and played catch on Coors Field.“Just when we’re done (soaking in one moment) as brothers, another one comes and might top it.”The southpaw is Taylor, who’s in his first season with San Francisco. He signed a three-year, $33 million deal...

Walters: California water rights at risk as three bills advance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:57:04 GMT

When California imposed its first-ever regulation on the extraction of water from underground aquifers in 2014, it gave environmental groups a landmark victory in their decades-long effort to overhaul water use laws.It was also a political setback for farmers, who are California’s major water users and have depended on wells to irrigate their crops as increasingly frequent droughts reduce surface water in rivers and reservoirs.However, while groundwater regulation ended one front in California’s never-ending political and legal battles over allocation of water, it merely set the stage for an even bigger conflict over surface water rights, particularly those pre-dating 1914, when the state first began controlling diversions.Just months after the groundwater regulation’s enactment, with drought still gripping the state, the water rights battle was joined when the state Water Resources Control Board attempted to curtail diversions by some pre-1914 rights holders.The board accused a sma...

Analysis: Iga Swiatek doesn’t want to say what she thinks she is capable of, but it’s a lot

PARIS (AP) — A popular question posed to tennis players after they begin accumulating Grand Slam titles is some form of: What’s next?What are your aims now? What do you want to accomplish? How many of these major championships can you collect?When it comes to Iga Swiatek, there is not much point in asking, although there were attempts Saturday night after she beat Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in what turned into a riveting French Open final.That victory made Swiatek the owner of four Slam trophies, including three at Roland Garros. Just making it to the last match of the tournament assured her of maintaining her grip on the No. 1 ranking, where she’s been since April 2022.“I don’t think I need any idea. I’ll just go forward, you know?” Swiatek said. “My whole career, I’ve tried to — if you’re talking about wins — just win as much as possible, obviously. … I don’t think we all know what our limits are unless we’re done or we’re really mature. But I’m 22, so I literally ...

Taliban slam ‘baseless and biased’ UN report suggesting rifts and conflict within their ranks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:57:04 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Taliban condemned on Sunday a “baseless and biased” report from the U.N. Security Council highlighting rifts within the group’s ranks.The last seven months have seen a greater shift of power from the capital Kabul to the southern city of Kandahar, a Taliban heartland and the base of the group’s supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.A report — issued earlier in June — by the U.N. Security Council’s Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team said that the Taliban governance structures remain “highly exclusionary, Pashtun-centred and repressive” toward all forms of opposition. It also said Kandahar’s return as the seat of power — like it was during the Taliban’s rule of Afghanistan in the 1990s — circumvents senior Taliban ministers in Kabul, the center of the current government, because of the way decisions are made.Key figures, such as the Taliban’s main spokesman, have set up offices in the south of Kandahar.
