OAKLAND – Trevor May was gearing up to face Shohei Ohtani in a save situation over the weekend when the ruling came in from the Oakland A’s dugout: In a one-run game with a runner on third and first base open, the Los Angeles Angels superstar was going to be intentionally walked. May understood the decision by A’s manager Mark Kotsay to issue the free pass to Ohtani, Major League Baseball’s home run leader at that point with 44. But May – as he’s done for most of his career — would have welcomed the challenge of trying to retire Ohtani, the likely winner of this year’s American League MVP award. “Those are the types of guys you want to face in the big spots,” May said Sunday, a day after he finished off the A’s 2-1 win over the Angels for what was then his 16th save. “If you’re going to get a save, getting the best player in the league out probably sticks in your mind a little more.” May’s approach illustrates how far he’s come with the A’s since mid-April when he

49ers COACH: Kyle Shanahan (7th year) LAST SEASON: 13-4, first place; NFC runner-up ARRIVALS: DT Javon Hargrave (Eagles), QB Sam Darnold (Panthers), QB Brandon Allen (Bengals), CB Isaiah Oliver (Falcons), DE Clelin Ferrell (Raiders), OT Matt Pryor (Colts), OL Jon Feliciano (Giants), DL Austin Bryant (Lions), K Zane Gonzalez (Panthers), DL Darryl Johnson Jr. (Seahawks), DB Myles Hartsfield (Panthers), S Ji’Ayir Brown (second round), K Jake Moody (third round), TE Cameron Latu (third round). San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (98) takes part in a veteran mini-camp session on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in Santa Clara, Calif. (Aric Crabb/Bay Area News Group) DEPARTURES: QB Jimmy Garoppolo, RT Mike McGlinchey, DB Jimmie Ward, K Robbie Gould, LB Azeez Al-Shaair, DE Samson Ebukam, DE Charles Omenihu, DE Jordan Willis, DT Hassan Ridgeway, CB Emmanuel Moseley, OL Daniel Brunskill, DB Tarvarius Moore, TE Tyler Kroft, DL Maurice Hurst, QB Josh Johnson. Analysis: Perpetual quarterback mystery hasn’t derailed Kyle Shanahan from choreographing a high-scoring, yard-chewing offense, which is doable thanks to top-tier talent such as Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Juszczyk, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle.

SANTA CLARA – Brock Purdy is not just the 49ers’ season-opening quarterback. He is a first-time captain, which is a distinction that eluded Trey Lance a year ago. A key difference: Purdy proved his leadership ability – and availability — on the field. “I mean, it’s hard to be seen as a leader when you haven’t been out there before,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “Guys can think you’re a leader, you can act like a leader, but guys don’t follow many people who don’t produce on the field.” Purdy produced eight straight wins, up until his elbow injury in last season’s NFC Championship Game. “That’s why (Purdy) got so many votes this year, because I think they believed in him and felt he was one of the leaders last year,” Shanahan said. “Not because he’s being some vet and talking to guys a certain way. (It is) just because of how he prepares, that they can count on him and how he handled a number of situations when he got in there.” Teammates elected five other captains: defensive tackle Arik Armstead, tight end George Kittle

Did anyone catch the Frances Tiafoe-Ben Shelton match on Tuesday night? It sure looks like American tennis will be healthy for a long time to come. There is clearly a generation gap when it comes to how athletes celebrate after a grueling rally or even a long, humid set. In the old days of Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, a fist pump or a ‘come on’ or ‘vamos’ was the standard. Now, these young athletes create images with their hands and bodies, signifying to the outside world that something good happened. Or maybe they’re conveying a darker message. After the big quarterfinal match in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the youngest male American tennis player to make it to a semi-final since Michael Chang, used his thumb and pinky to form a telephone receiver. He seemed to gesture toward the audience as though he picked up the telephone, answered it, and then hung up on the caller. Kind of like he just slammed the phone on Tiafoe, his fellow American quarterfinalist with a heck of a background story (to overly generalize, his Haitian immigrant dad served as

How are things with you and your home computer?  If you’re like me, I open up my laptop anymore only to write something – like this column.  Most other things are done on my iPhone.  Before I retired, I was on my work computer every day – all day. It housed the answers to the myriad arcane questions my federal agents would bring up.  If I had dealt with something before, it was saved.  I was just a click away from a detailed answer as to how something had been handled previously.  They say, “A smart man may not have the answer, but he knows where to find it.” Well, I’m not particularly smart, but I survived (and even thrived) because I kept my computer loaded with anything and everything I might ever need. Computer security is a big issue, especially in the government.  If you ever mistakenly downloaded classified information, they took your computer away and wiped it.  If you plugged in a non-encrypted thumb drive – your computer would provide a warning – and often refuse to read it.  Cyber-security folks were on
