FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- There were several newsworthy moments from Rory McIlroys interview session on Wednesday in regard to his equipment. He might not sign with another manufacturer anytime soon; hes got three years worth of golf balls stored away if he needs them; and hes switching to a mallet-style putter for this weeks Barclays tournament.But lets start with perhaps the biggest takeaway: When Nike Golf announced recently that it would be ceasing its equipment operation, one of the companys star attractions barely knew ahead of time.It was a shock to all of us, McIlroy revealed. I got a call two hours before it was announced.The dominoes from that announcement have already started to fall, as McIlroy will have a Scotty Cameron-model putter in his bag this week.Following a poor putting performance at the PGA Championship three weeks ago, he felt it was time to make a change.Theres a bit to go and its a process, but I feel like Ive made a good start, McIlroy explained. I feel like with the putter change to a mallet, it doesnt encourage that face to close that much, which is the bad putt I was getting. So it just sort of encourages the face to stay a little more square through impact.As for the rest of those dominoes, McIlroy insisted hell take a wait-and-see approach regarding any other equipment changes.Im not going to commit to anything, he said. I wouldnt be surprised to see me not go with a manufacturer for a year or two, just sort of play with what I want to play, play with what Im comfortable with, and go from there.That hasnt stopped other manufacturers from already trying.McIlroy revealed with a laugh that his parents home in Northern Ireland has been inundated with packages from companies requesting that he test out their products.I dont think its the time or the place to change what I feel like Im very comfortable with, he said. Obviously, working with the Nike guys over the last number of years, they have gotten to know me and my specific tendencies and what I like in golf clubs. No reason to start changing just because I can. Im comfortable with everything.As for those golf balls, well, McIlroy knows hell need to find a new one at some point, but hes comfortable extending that deadline as long as possible.Ive got them to save me a lot of three years worth of golf balls, so at least Ive got a golf ball that I like and that I know that I can play well with, he said.How many balls is that, exactly?If I dont lose a golf ball, Im still using at least six, you know, cutting them, he said with a laugh. Theres a few dozen there.Bruce Matthews Titans Jersey .

Curley Culp Titans Jersey . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.Episode 3 of Foxs Pitch gave viewers an emotionally charged storyline that focused on a game of beanball with Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) at the helm.As the plot thickens, we find that romance is on the horizon for Baker (not Mike Lawson!); an international player from Korea is introduced, whose interpreter has gone missing; and Padres manager Al Luongo (Dan Lauria), team owner Frank Reid (Bob Balaban) and Reids ex-wife do a bit of political maneuvering. Also, its disclosed that Bakers agent, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter), and Mike (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) have had intimate relations in the past. Oh, and the teams general manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos) is getting a divorce. So, yes, a lot happened.But the most important happenstance and shift in development is that Baker was finally given some agency.Over the course of the first two episodes, Baker has leaned on other people to approve her decisions and inspire her. For instance, in the pilot episode, Lawson gave Baker a rousing pregame pep talk to get her head in the game. It happened again in Episode 2 when her brother, Will, instructed her to hire Amelia and when Lawson affirmed her decision to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! telling her to use her platform for good.Ultimately Baker made her own decisions, but they were helped along by the (well-meaning) men in her life. The scenes were moving, but from a feminist perspective, its a little disconcerting to see a character who is arguably a paragon for feminism having to constantly be validated by men.The episode is wrapped up in good ol beanball, a term used in baseball for when a pitcher intentionally throws at or near a batter. The Padres are taking on the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time since a Cardinals pitcher threw at Tommy Miller (Ryan Dorsey) and broke his hand.Miller is the pitcher who Baker had repllaced on the roster and the same person who had been giving her hell since she started with the team.ddddddddddddNo doubt she saw an opportunity to prove her loyalty to the club by getting back at the Cardinals.Oscar and the team owners were nervous about the game because playing beanball with a female pitcher on the mound sounded a lot worse than an average baseball brawl (which ended up happening anyway). Everyone told Baker not to throw at the opposing pitcher, but she went with her own decision and hit him. That sparked a conflict and led to the fight.When the Cardinals subbed in their reliever nicknamed The Mountain, it appeared as if Baker was going to get creamed by a 100 mph fastball. The Mountain, however, walked her on four straight pitches, apparently at the behest of the catcher who (and this is unbelievable) used to date Baker when they were back in the minors.Oh, the drama!From the moment Baker threw at the Cardinals pitcher, viewers saw a different side of her. This version of Baker was defiant, strong and quick-witted. It was a glimpse of the fire that allowed her to persevere through the taunts of her teammates and the difficulty of breaking a barely cracked glass ceiling.Underneath Bakers character development, however, is the meat of this show. Its asking viewers to really grapple with what a female pitcher in MLB could look like and what sort of mundane, regular happenings and traditions suddenly become much more complex and nuanced.Thats the beauty of Pitch. After what some surely think is a gimmick, there are real issues to be considered and explored. The show has done that for the past three weeks. It will be interesting to see whether that approach has staying power. ' ' '
