‘I haven’t really played up to my expectations yet’: Can Seiya Suzuki get hot and help spark the Chicago Cubs offense?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:23:32 GMT

Seiya Suzuki’s behind-the-scenes work is the essence of where he hones his swing and timing, areas that have been out of whack for stretches this season.Suzuki typically does not offer much insight when asked about the specifics of any mechanical adjustments he works on, though it doesn’t have anything to do with concerns about giving too much information to the opposing team.“I just don’t like to talk too much,” Suzuki said through interpreter Toy Matsushita on Wednesday before the series finale against the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field.Suzuki’s pregame and postgame cage work is where the foundation of his in-game success is built. After Monday’s loss to the Nationals, that’s where he headed to get in additional late-night work in an effort to get on track. His four-hit game, including a home run, in Tuesday’s 17-3 blowout victory is the type of hitter the Cubs believe he can tap into more frequently than they’ve s...

Flooded with sightseers, Europe’s iconic churches struggle to accommodate both worship and tourism

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:23:32 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A recent Saturday evening Mass at Sagrada Familia parish had all the hallmarks of a neighborhood worship service, from prayers for ill and deceased members to name-day wishes for two congregants in the pews.But it also featured security checks to get in and curious tourists peering down to take photos of the worshippers from above. The regular Mass is held in the crypt of modernist architect Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece church, one of Europe’s most visited monuments.With tourism reaching or surpassing pre-pandemic records in Barcelona and across southern Europe, iconic sacred sites are struggling to accommodate the faithful who come to pray and the millions of visitors who often pay to view the art and architecture.“We’re working to get ahead of this, so that we don’t get to a collapse,” said the Rev. Josep Maria Turull, rector at Sagrada Familia and the Barcelona archdiocese’s director for tourism, pilgrimage and sanctuaries.An increasingly popular strategy is...

DADAAB, Kenya (AP) — Abdikadir Omar was trapped in an extremist-controlled town in Somalia for years until May, when he slipped out to make a 12-day journey with his wife and seven children to neighboring Kenya in search of food and safety.To his surprise, “I found peace but no food,” the 30-year-old told The Associated Press. He stood near the withered maize he tried to plant around his family’s makeshift shelter of branches and plastic sheeting outside one of the world’s largest refugee camps.As global food insecurity suffers another shock with Russia’s termination of a deal to keep grain flowing from Ukraine, the hundreds of thousands of Somalis who have fled climate change and insecurity offer a stark example of what happens when aid runs low.Omar, a farmer, was forced to give most of his produce as tax to al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked extremists who have controlled parts of Somalia for years, and the little that remained wasn’t enough to feed his family during Somalia’s ...
