Right or wrong, a couple early-season hits (or strikeouts) can go a long way. Hot Pickup: Justin Smoak, 1B, Mariners. Smoak had a little heat coming into this season after an improved (but still subpar) 2013. He’s started strong with four hits, a homer and six RBIs in his first two games.

The Western Australia Police Force shared the 28-second clip to their Facebook page, captioned: “Canning Vale Trespass / Damage.” The video shows an empty parking lot, and a man appearing to climb up one side of the building.

Parris, who plays the more-important-than-she-seems Monica Rambeau on WandaVision, recently spoke about the developments in that particular episode, specifically why she thinks these characters were more prepared for the various shenanigans than many realized. The episode ended with Wanda expanding her zone of influence (referred to in the show as the “Hex”) and surrounding a number of S.W.O.R.D. agents, including Dr. Lewis. So, fans were left understandably worried about what this means for the character, but this worry comes from more than just Marvel’s arguably questionable writing of female characters over the years....

The U.K. Ministry of Defense said on Saturday that Russian Battalion Tactical Groups (BTG) of up to 1,000 troops were being deployed to Crimea, the peninsula Moscow annexed in 2014. From there, they would “almost certainly be used” to support Russian troops in the Kherson region, which fell to Russia soon after the invasion and where Ukraine’s forces are conducting a counter-offensive. “Russia’s war on Ukraine is about to enter a new phase,” the officials said, predicting that the heaviest fighting would move to a 200-mile front line that stretched southwest from near Zaporizhzhya to Kherson, parallel with the Dnipro River....
