Basketball physics where does a bouncing balls energy go

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Big swings by Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto of the Philadelphia Phillies put an end to Joe Musgrove’s unbeaten start to 2022. Schwarber hit a two-run homer and Realmuto added a three-run shot later in the sixth inning for the Phillies, who handed Musgrove his first loss and snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.

The big right-hander from suburban El Cajon was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day. He had been placed on the list last Friday, a day after throwing seven strong innings in a victory at the Chicago Cubs. “We hit some balls hard,” Schwarber said. “The guy’s a good pitcher. He’s got the stuff and he’s got four or five pitches; two really-plus breaking balls. We were able to … [Read more...] about Schwarber, Realmuto Go Deep Vs Musgrove In Phils’ 6-2 Win

For years, every time Nuggets GM Calvin Booth scouted future first-round pick Christian Braun, he was always left with a nagging, unsettling question. Braun’s unique playing style, a rare firebrand of basketball, made an impression. But for all of the hustle and feisty competitiveness, the question that lingered with Booth was one of fit. “I comment to myself, ‘Man, that was a nice play, but what is he?’” Booth said after assuaging that question and selecting Braun with the No. 21 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft. When the Nuggets front office traveled to Chicago for the NBA draft combine, something clicked for Booth. He realized that rather than evaluating Braun as a true, two-way wing — the apple of every NBA team’s eye — he should view him as a shooting guard. After all, Braun had guard skills crunched into a long body, which was the result of a late growth spurt.

It’s been a long week for all of us, so forgive me if I don’t have the energy to participate in a debate about whether President Trump calling the virus “Chinese” is racist. Of course it is. And it’s something we’ve all seen before, when Vincent Chin was murdered in 1982 during a recession that politicians blamed on Japan; when Muslim Americans were targeted after 9/11; when the AIDS crisis was blamed on gay men; when Japanese Americans were sent to incarceration camps during World War II. When this country faces an existential threat, fear looks for a target. × I’m weary of this debate because the harm to Asian Americans is already done, and what a pundit says will never change that. Nor will yelling at Trump do any good — he has repeatedly shown throughout his presidency that he values his ego over the safety of the American people. What we need to be talking about is how to protect people and neighborhoods from more economic and physical harm.
