Anthony Rizzo out of Yankees lineup with stiff neck for series opener in Seattle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:37:34 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was held out of the lineup due to a stiff neck for their series opener against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Rizzo “should be fine,” but the team was being cautious. Rizzo left Sunday’s win over San Diego after he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on a pickoff play that ended the sixth inning. As the first baseman leaned back to apply the tag, Rizzo collided with Tatis. Rizzo stayed on the ground for a few minutes and headed back to the clubhouse as the Yankees batted.Boone said Rizzo was undergoing treatment and did not need any additional testing. Catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) was set to undergo a full workout before Monday’s game and there is a chance he could be activated during the series in Seattle, Boone said. Third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is set to continue his rehab assignment on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (ha...

Emotions: The ultimate lobbying weapon

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:37:34 GMT

Rosa Sanchez Salgado is a political scientist at the University of Amsterdam.Given the success of utilizing emotions in marketing and advertising, it is surprising that so little attention has been given to the role of emotions in lobbying.After all, strategies such as blaming and shaming are the bread and butter of many NGOs, condemning the European Union, time and again, for its responsibility in human rights violations — including, for example, the failure to save refugees and migrants.The reason the use of emotions has flown under the radar for so long could be related to the fact that, in European politics, emotions are often considered to be the worst enemy of policymaking. Groups like NGOs, trade unions and farmers are often criticized for being emotional, something that is presented as irrational, sensational and out of proportion. This idea that emotions are irrational and dangerous is also supported by the way in which populist politicians and demagogues often misuse them....

Europe’s sleeper train awakens

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:37:34 GMT

The night train revival is pulling into the heart of the European Union. The much-anticipated European Sleeper route linking Berlin and Brussels kicked off Thursday night. Its ambition: to be the harbinger of a revival of the overnight rail lines that once linked the Continent’s cities before the age of discount airlines.Now, a boom in demand for transport with a lower carbon footprint than flying, and the attractions of slower travel, is sparking a resurgence. Shortly before 9 p.m. on Thursday, European Sleeper’s aged carriages rumbled out, not from the bowels of the futuristic concrete, steel and glass tomb that encases the crossed platforms of Berlin’s giant Hauptbahnhof, but instead from a suburban terminal usually used for services running to Poland.The station choice was out of his team’s control — but it’s just one part of the challenge in running a regular and reliable service, Eng...
