Q: Hi, Ira. Can’t the Heat and Panthers do a better job planning their home-game schedules together? They both had great seasons last year and deserve to start their seasons without competing with one another. They each deserve their night in the limelight on opening night. Twenty-five percent of their home games overlap, (10 games). I have season tickets to both. I will have to sell my tickets to the Heat on those ten nights because Heat tickets sell better than Panther tickets do online. The Panthers came out with their schedule five weeks before the Heat, so I blame the Heat and the NBA for this more than the NHL and the Panthers. Just like the overlap of games during the playoffs last year, it’s not helping to grow the fan base for the Panthers. – David, Fort Lauderdale. A: Which I’m not sure should be the Heat’s concern. And I do believe the teams have divergent season-ticket bases. The primary factor is that both leagues have greater flexibility when NHL and NBA teams don’t … [Read more...] about ASK IRA: Should Heat, Panthers have worked to reduce schedule conflicts?

Austin Hays still associates baseball with fried chicken. Hays’ maternal grandfather, Jerald, was a military man, so whenever he drove Hays to youth practices or games in Pierson, Florida, they would reach the field several hours early, trying to dodge traffic Hays knew wouldn’t exist. But there was a Church’s Chicken across the street, and the two would share an eight-piece meal — all dark meat — before Jerald flipped Hays the same five balls over and over until it was actually time to play. “We spent a lot of time in his truck, there at the field, just talking about whatever, and that was our thing,” the Orioles’ outfielder said. “Fried chicken and baseball just went together for me.” Jerald died during Hays’ junior year of high school, but he just might try to find a chicken joint Sunday in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. With the Orioles set to play the Boston Red Sox in the Little League Classic, thoughts such as Hays’ were evoked often this week in Baltimore’s clubhouse. The … [Read more...] about Orioles share youth baseball memories ahead of Little League Classic: ‘Just a simpler time’

ATLANTA — There are times when you watch Jacob deGrom and think he may never give up a run again. “Gosh, the level he pitches at, people expect perfection every time he cocks his arm,” Buck Showalter said. Watching him give up three runs — two in the same inning, no less — can feel like witnessing an unnatural earthly phenomenon. When the Braves tagged him for three runs on Thursday night, the planet did not start spinning backward and rain didn’t fall upward, but the final baserunner he allowed wound up being the winning run in Atlanta’s 3-2 victory. After this series kicked off with three bizarre games, two of which were interrupted by rain, Thursday’s finale was the marquee game that fans were promised. Max Fried matched deGrom in effectiveness and his bullpen dealt two innings of fire, putting a bow on a tight game that was fraught with tension throughout. “We won four when we were back at our place,” Brandon Nimmo said, referencing last weekend’s series at Citi Field. … [Read more...] about Jacob deGrom outdueled by Max Fried as Braves take 3 out of 4 in Atlanta
