For tech- no-nerds, there was Toronto pitcher Alek Manoah mic’d up on the mound while pitching in the All-Star Game. I haven’t done all the research, but I’m pretty sure Bob Feller never did that. As an added bonus, Hall of Famer John Smoltz was feeding him advice on pitch selection — appar- ently to good effect, because Manoah struck out the side around a hit batsman. Later in the game, Hendriks was also mic’d up and had a humorous exchange with Ro- driguez, who caught the third out in center and feigned toss- ing the ball into the stands. Hendriks screamed at him not to do so because he wanted the ball as a souvenir, which the laughing Rodriguez even- tually tossed it Hendriks’ way. “I was just messing with him,” said Rodriguez, who heard Hendriks’ pleas only be- cause he, too, was mic’d up. abbie Parr/aP American League’s Corey Seager, of the Texas Rangers, left, and Julio Rodriguez, of the Seattle Mariners, celebrate after defeating the Na- tional League in the MLB All-Star game Tuesday in Los Angeles. Entering the game in the fifth inning in place of start- ing center fielder Byron Bux- ton, Rodriguez had two at- bats, both of which were as non-eventful as Monday’s were filled with electricity. He grounded out to second and flied out routinely to right — yet still left for Seattle as the breakout star of baseball. He is not only winning over fans, but peers such as Buxton, who delivered what turned out to be the game-winning hit, a fourth-inning homer that im- mediately followed Stanton’s. “Everything. Everything,” said Buxton, when asked what stood out to him about Rodri- guez. “I told him earlier, I like to watch you all the time. He’s my favorite player now. Every- thing he does is so easy. He’s so much fun to watch. Simple as that. He’s going to be here for a long time — as long as he wants to be. I’m hoping I’m W L T Pts GF San Diego Wave FC 6 3 4 22 19 Portland 5 1 6 21 29 Chicago 5 2 5 20 20 Houston 5 4 3 18 20 Kansas City 5 4 3 18 12 OL Reign 4 3 5 17 11 Angel City FC 5 4 2 17 10 Orlando 3 5 4 13 12 Gotham FC 4 6 0 12 7 Louisville 2 5 5 11 13 Washington 1 5 7 10 11 North Carolina 2 5 2 8 14 NOTE: Three points for victory, one point for tie.

Not a problem, he replied. “I don’t worry about expec- tations. No matter how high the expectations go, they’ll never be higher than my own.” France, meanwhile, had to wait almost the entirety of the game before stepping up to the plate in the eighth as a pinch-hitter. He flailed at a nasty slider from the Cardi- nals’ Ryan Helsley, who also pumped up a couple pitches at 103 mph. Yet that didn’t dampen France’s upbeat mood as he channeled the “good vibes only” philosophy of Mariners teammate Eugenio Suarez. “It was an incredible experi- ence, and I’m very grateful to be here,” said France. “I didn’t really know what to expect coming in. It happened so fast — and it ended really quick, too.” The silver lining? Now the Mariners can try for consecu- tive win No. 15. And for their two All-Stars, it was just an- other in a long line of victo- ries. FOOTBALL 49ers clear QB Garoppolo to practice and to seek trade, per report — Jimmy Garoppolo can officially re- turn to the practice field — and start searching for his next home. The 49ers have now given their quarterback and his agents permission to seek a trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter re- ported Wednesday afternoon, adding that Garoppolo has also been cleared for practice after March shoulder surgery. Of course, this is no surprise. The team has signaled its desire for a trade since Garoppolo’s season-ending press conference in which he said goodbye to the Bay Area media members who had covered him since midway through the 2017 season. The 49ers plan to go ahead with 2021 No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance under center, clearing the way to move on from Garop- polo and his cap hit of nearly $27 million. GOLF Stenson joins Saudi tour, removed as Ryder Cup cap- tain — The Ryder Cup captaincy of Henrik Stenson lasted all of four months. Ryder Cup Europe removed Stenson as captain for the 2023 matches — still 14 months away from being played in Italy — when the Swede decided to choose the guaranteed money of the Saudi-funded rival league over the Ryder Cup. The European tour and PGA Tour have sus- pended players who signed up for LIV Golf, which is hand- ing out massive signing bonuses to go along with its $25 mil- lion prize fund in eight tournaments that feature 54 holes and no cut. The third LIV Golf event is next week at Trump National in New Jersey. Sky Sports was among the first to report Stenson is leaving the European tour for the rival league, a move he confirmed on Wednesday. — Bulletin wire reports POWERBALL The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 10 20 23 49 65 22 Oregon Lottery results as listed at oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites The estimated jackpot was not available at press time. MEGABUCKS The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 2 Pac-12 Continued from A5 2. The exposure factor The Pac-12 desperately needs SDSU in order to main- tain a presence in the greater Southern California region, both for media exposure and a recruiting foothold. Put another way: Without the Aztecs, the conference won’t have a campus within 300 miles of the talent pool that fuels its roster building — all while the Big Ten will have greater access once USC and UCLA begin play in 2024. In that case, the Pac-12 might as well be the Big 12. But there’s a second piece to consider: Home to 3.3 million people, San Diego County it- self is a vital recruiting zone for the conference. The area has produced some of the greatest players in Pac-12 history, including Marcus Al- len, Reggie Bush, Junior Seau and Lincoln Kennedy, plus John Lynch and Eric Allen. The list of San Diego pros- pects who didn’t play in the Pac-12 includes Terrell Davis, Alex Smith, Ricky Williams and Rashaan Salaam. Not only would mem- bership boost SDSU’s local recruiting efforts, it would strengthen the Pac-12’s con- nection to the area. 11 22 32 33 43 The estimated jackpot is now $3.7 million. San Diego State’s Caden McDonald during a game against Fresno State in October in Carson, California. 3. The valuation factor The process by which ESPN, Jae C. hong/ aP file Fox and other media compa- nies value football programs has changed since the Pac-12 expanded in 2011. Back then, the number of cable homes in a given school’s region (Salt Lake City and Denver, for example) was the prime driver of revenue. Now, brand value — the ability to generate big ratings, especially on broadcast net- works — is critical. But market size still matters. Without the Los Angeles schools, the Pac-12 is down 5.7 million homes in its footprint. Adding SDSU mitigates the loss. The Aztecs wouldn’t sub- stantially increase revenue for the 10 existing schools, but they would provide enough media valuation to justify membership. San Diego has 1.1 million TV homes and is the No. 27 market in the coun- try, larger than the likes of Kansas City, Cincinnati and Oklahoma City, according to Nielsen DMA data for 2021. In fact, San Diego has more TV homes than all but three markets in the Big 12’s future footprint (Dallas, Houston and Orlando). 4. The resource factor This fall, the Aztecs will open Snapdragon Stadium, a $310 million facility in the Mission Valley district, which is a few trolly stops from the main campus. The stadium seats 35,000 but was built to accommodate an NFL team and can expand to 55,000. It’s the only large outdoor stadium in San Diego County and will host a slew of entertainment and sporting events. Those events will generate a seven-figure annual revenue stream for the athletic depart- ment — revenue which can be reinvested in football infra- structure to allow the Aztecs to quickly close ground with Pac-12 schools. The stadium is part of SDSU’s Mission Valley development, a 1.6 million- square-foot complex featur- ing residential and retail space that’s modeled on Arizona State’s stadium district. 5. The academic factor SDSU is not a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, but neither are Arizona State, Ore- gon State or Washington State. SDSU is 148th in the latest U.S. News and World Report rankings of national universi- ties — higher than both OSU and WSU. It’s not an R1 research insti- tution but believes that status could come in the next year based on research funding. (The chief obstacle to SDSU raising its academic profile is a 60-year-old state law that prevents California State Uni- versity campuses from award- ing doctorates. The Aztecs are hoping to get that changed.) Bottom line: College foot- ball is transforming at warp speed. Are the Pac-12 presi- dents and chancellors smart enough to accept the new real- ity and reconsider longstand- ing biases? They have never deemed schools in the CSU system worthy of membership. To that line of thinking, we say: Evolve, or die. Run the numbers and sketch the future however you want. In the aftermath of the L.A. thunderbolt, the Pac-12 needs San Diego State.
