Es probable que estemos paseando mal a nuestros perros. ¿Por qué?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:45 GMT

(CNN) — Todos lo hemos visto. Muchos lo hemos hecho.Tratamos los paseos con el perro como una oportunidad de hacer dos (o tres) cosas a la vez, llevando a nuestros perros por el barrio mientras miramos el móvil, charlamos con un amigo, escuchamos un podcast o empujamos un cochecito.Los más ambiciosos incluso incorporan a los perros a su rutina de ejercicios, trotando o andando en bicicleta mientras sus mascotas trotan a su lado.Es comprensible. En un mundo tan ajetreado como el actual, este tipo de multitarea puede resultar muy productivo. Y pasear al perro dos veces al día por las mismas calles puede resultar aburrido.Pero los especialistas en comportamiento animal afirman que, en el mejor de los casos, los paseadores que no prestan toda su atención pueden confundir a los perros o frustrarles dándoles señales contradictorias. Y, en el peor de los casos, pueden poner en peligro la seguridad del perro y la suya propia.“Es algo así como el equivalente del paseo del perro a...

Dodgers mulling what to do with ace Clayton Kershaw’s sore shoulder

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:45 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw showed some progress while playing catch before Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Royals, but Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts remains uncertain whether the three-time Cy Young winner will make his next start.In fact, Roberts said that Kershaw could start Monday against Pittsburgh, push his start back a couple of days or even go on the injured list with some tenderness in his shoulder that he first felt after last week’s outing against Colorado.“I just don’t want to say right now,” Roberts said after watching Kershaw’s session in the Kauffman Stadium outfield. “He hasn’t thrown a bullpen, he didn’t spin the baseball, but there was progress. He felt better. So that was encouraging.”Kershaw carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning against the Rockies last Tuesday before leaving the game after 79 pitches, having allowed just one hit in the eventual 5-0 win. But the 35-year-old left-hander said ...

England regards Bairstow dismissal as against ‘the spirit’ of cricket; Australia says it’s fair play

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:45 GMT

LONDON (AP) — England coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes believed Australia broke “the spirit” of the laws of cricket in the Jonny Bairstow dismissal at Lord’s on Sunday.McCullum and Stokes agreed Bairstow was out, technically, but Stokes would have backtracked on appealing for out.“Do I want to win in that manner?” Stokes posed. “The answer for me is no.”Bairstow was stumped when he ducked a bouncer and immediately left his crease to meet Stokes in the middle. England say he believed the umpires called, ‘Over,’ meaning the ball was dead. Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey tossed down the stumps and Bairstow was given out for 10 after a brief review.Bairstow was confused, initially, then obviously unhappy by the stumping. He left Stokes as the last recognized batter. England lost by 43 runs and went down 2-0 in the five-match series.Australia had to endure the crowd’s bitterness for the rest of the match, and McCullum felt the visitors brought it upon themselve...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:45 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — The Miami Marlins added a fresh arm to their bullpen for their series finale against Atlanta by recalling right-hander Jeff Lindgren from Triple-A Jacksonville.Lindgren, 26, was 6-3 with a 4.55 ERA in 12 starts for Jacksonville but was needed to provide length in the bullpen on Sunday. He pitched five innings in long relief, allowing four hits and four runs, in his only appearance with Miami on April 3 against Minnesota.Right-hander George Soriano, who allowed no hits in 3 2/3 scoreless innings against the Braves on Saturday, was optioned to Jacksonville. Soriano would not have been available on Sunday following his extended outing a day earlier, creating the need for another long reliever.Soriano has a 1.98 ERA in five games with the Marlins.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource
