UCLA baseball wants to stay at its longtime home, Jackie Robinson Stadium, on the VA's West LA campus beyond 2026, and the Bruins have a key ally -- the veterans who say they feel embraced by the team.

Said Vietnam veteran Deavin Sessom: "It's my therapy"

@MikeRegaladoLA I can’t think of a worse home loss in the 40+ years of playing in the Rose Bowl. Losing 35-0 to Stanford in 2010 was bad, but not this bad.

With several former Sherman Oaks Notre Dame players on UCLA's baseball team, Notre Dame AD Alec Moss said he'd be willing to let the Bruins use his facility if needed. Jackie Robinson Stadium has been locked down in dispute with federal judge.

Sports media news: The new boss is the same as the old boss.

@Chris_Pirrone, who oversaw The Big Lead as an executive at USA Today Sports for several years, has bought the site from Minute Media.

Minute moved TBL staff over to SI, and Pirrone will rebuild the site from scratch.

We don’t do mandatory workouts before school as we feel sleep is too important for recovery.

If morning workouts start at 6:00 AM athletes wake up around 5:15 AM, give or take. We want them to have the realistic opportunity to get eight hours of sleep each night. For a 6:00 AM workout this means they would have to be asleep by 9:15 PM. This simply doesn’t happen for many young people.

For those who are disciplined and wired for the morning they can elect to have individual workouts before school and we will have a coach there working with them. In my 12 years as a head college coach I would estimate that 1 in every 5 players I’ve coached was naturally wired for mornings.

We get more done working out in the afternoon/early evening, without compromising on sleep, skipping breakfast, or having tired student-athletes in the classroom throughout the day.

According to the Sleep Foundation, a great number of concerns can arise when athletes do not receive adequate sleep:

*Inhibited ability. In a study of male team-sport athletes who were sleep-deprived, average and total sprint times decreased.

*Decreased accuracy. After sleep deprivation, male and female tennis players had decreased serve accuracy
of up to 53% when compared to performance after normal sleep.

*Quicker exhaustion. In a study of male runners and volleyball players, both groups of athletes exhausted faster after sleep deprivation.

*Decreased reaction time. A lack of sleep adversely affected reaction time in a studied  group of male collegiate athletes.

*Difficulty learning and decision making. Executive functions are impacted by a lack of sleep. Choices such as passing the ball or taking it to the basket yourself can be more difficult or made too late.

*Risk for injury. Research of middle and high school athletes revealed that a chronic lack of sleep is associated with increased rates of injury.

*Risk for illness or immunosuppression. Poor sleep habits are associated with lower resistance to illness such as the common cold.
