SPORTS BRIEFING
BASEBALL
Angels’ Pujols has not made decision on retirement
— Albert Pujols woke up from a nap last Monday to find sev-
eral hundred messages and missed calls on his phone. While he
was sleeping, the Los Angeles Angels slugger’s wife, Deidre, had
put up a complimentary Instagram post about her husband
that was widely interpreted to mean Pujols had decided to retire
after this season, his 21st in the majors. The 41-year-old slugger
reiterated what he has been saying for months: He hasn’t de-
cided whether he will continue playing after the conclusion of
his 10-year, $240 million contract with the Angels this fall, and
he won’t make or announce a decision until after the season.
BOXING
Alvarez demolishes Yildirim in 3 rounds — Saul
“Canelo” Alvarez (55-1-2) made quick work of mandatory
challenger Avni Yildirim (21-3) on Saturday night at the Hard
Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, for the WBC, WBA super
middleweight titles. Yildirim’s corner stopped the fight before
the start of the fourth round.
WORLD CUP SKIING
Gut-Behrami claims 2nd women’s downhill victory
in as many days; Bend’s Ross did not finish — Lara
Gut-Behrami won her second World Cup downhill in two
days at Val di Fassa on Saturday to maintain her chance of
winning the discipline title this season. Gut-Behrami led
Corinne Suter, the downhill world champion, by 0.32 seconds
for a Swiss 1-2 finish. Kira Weidle of Germany finished 0.68
behind in third. Bend’s Laurenne Ross registered a DNF.
Zubcic takes men’s GS Bulgaria — Filip Zubcic won the
first men’s World Cup race after the skiing world champi-
onships Saturday to give new impetus to the battle for the
seasonlong giant slalom title. The Croatian skier overtook
first-run leader Mathieu Faivre to win by 0.40 seconds. Un-
heralded Stefan Brennsteiner was 0.93 behind in third for the
Austrian’s first career podium.

MLB | SPRING TRAINING
Games will look different this spring
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Baseball Writer
Colorado Rockies infielder
Ryan McMahon figures players
can find plenty to do with any
extra time they could get at the
end of days if spring training
games don’t go nine innings.
“Maybe slide out for some
golf. If not, head home, hit the
couch and watch some basket-
ball right now,” McMahon said.
Or maybe even some extra
batting practice.
“It could be, right? Depend-
ing on the day and depending
on how things went, there’s a lot
of different ways that you could
go with it,” McMahon said.
“The days are different every
day, that’s for sure.”
Things could look different
when spring training games
begin Sunday, with managers
allowed to mutually determine
in advance how many innings
their teams intend to play.
“What we’re finding is it’s go-
ing to provide some flexibility,”
Milwaukee Brewers manager
Craig Counsell said.
Some games may not even
make it to a seventh-inning
stretch, since they can be as few
as five innings through March
13. Even after that, until the
end of spring training, games

day. The seats are taped off for social distancing for fans ahead of the
team’s game with the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
can be scheduled for only
seven innings.
The potentially shorter spring
training games, and the abil-
ity to end innings before three
outs, come on the heels of 2020,
when teams had to alter work-
outs and the season was short-
ened to 60 games because of the
coronavirus pandemic that is
still ongoing. COVID-19 health
and safety protocols remain in
place while Major League Base-
ball prepares for what it hopes
will be a full 162-game regular
season this year.
Cincinnati Reds manager
David Bell said he had already
been in touch with Cleveland’s
Terry Francona by midweek
about their spring training
opener Sunday. Teams have to
confirm with MLB the previous
day on how many innings they
intend to play.
“It’s just going to be commu-
nication between the managers.
It’s all new to us but it should be
pretty seamless once we get into
it,” Bell said.
While the number of innings
have to be declared in advance,
all of those innings don’t ini-
tially have to be three outs.
Through March 13, defensive
managers can end an inning
before three outs following any
completed plate appearance,
provided the pitcher has thrown
at least 20 pitches.
“Fans may not like it in the
beginning,” Atlanta Braves
manager Brian Snitker said.
“You’ve got two outs and the
bases loaded and you yell over
there ‘Last hitter. We’re rolling
him.’ But in the long run I think
it’s a smart move to help, espe-
cially now as we’ll be trying to
stretch pitchers out.”
Washington Nationals man-
ager Dave Martinez said the
ability to roll innings over, in-
stead of trying to extend pitch-
ers or use more pitchers to get
out of an inning, will have man-
agers on board to play nine full
innings more often than not.
“It’s all about trying to keep
everybody healthy. We’ve got
guys out there to start the in-
ning. You want them to get their
work in, 20-25 pitches, some
of these guys will be the maxi-
mum,” Martinez said. “After the
shortened season, I put a lot of
thought into keeping these guys
healthy, getting them ready in
a very controlled environment
and building them up, which is
really, really good.”
