MLB testing outfield positioning rules in minors as quest for more offense continues

Minnesota Twins prospect Kyle DeBarge walks a few steps to a worn-out patch of grass while playing center field during a recent Arizona Fall League game at Salt River Fields, glancing up at a small video board that lets him know if he's in the right spot. A few steps to his left, right, front or back and a big red "X" appears on the video board above home plate. That's not good. If he stays on that little island of dirt in a sea of grass, a big ‘O’ appears and the video board is green. Much better. Welcome to Major League Baseball's newest experiment in its long-running quest to juice the game's sluggish offense: Restricting the positioning of outfielders on every at-bat.

Phantom Blade Zero review: Best action game of the year

China’s video game industry has really ramped up over the past few years, with developers releasing everything from ambitious free-to-play titles like Where Winds Meet to unique Soulslike experiences found in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Then there’s Black Myth: Wukong, which famously won Best Action Game at the 2024 Game Awards. Beating Black Myth: Wukong was never going to be easy, but Phantom Blade Zero’s breathtakingly cool combat, stunning environments, and adrenaline-fueled boss fights surpass its Monkey King rival. It’s a martial arts game that combines Soulslike boss fights with stylish combat choreography inspired by movie greats like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Bucco requests visits to five NJ Transit stations in Morris County to address commuter concerns

MORRIS COUNTY, N.J. — State Sen. Anthony Bucco, R-Morris, Passaic, is requesting visits to five NJ Transit train stations in the 25th Legislative District to assess station conditions, discuss service reliability and safety, and address concerns raised by commuters. In an Oct. 23 letter to NJ Transit President and CEO Kris Kolluri, Bucco requested that Kolluri or a member of his leadership team accompany him on visits to the Dover, Morristown, Madison, Convent Station and Mount Arlington train stations. The senator said the visits would provide an opportunity to evaluate station conditions firsthand, meet with NJ Transit officials and better understand the experiences of passengers who rely on the rail system for daily transportation. “These visits are important because so many residents in our district rely on NJ TRANSIT every day to get to work, school, and other destinations.
