Tuesday came less than a week after MLB suspended Padres general manager A.J.
Preller for 30 days without pay for his actions in the Drew Pomeranz trade to
Boston.The punishment given to the San Diego executive for failing to disclose
medical information was unprecedented in baseball.I think the penalty speaks for
itself, Manfred said, without getting into specifics about his reasoning for
that penalty.The commissioner said teams are sent annual guidelines in how
medical records are to be maintained.I think that our clubs in general fully
disclose medical records consistent with a long-standing practice in baseball,
he said. Im confident that our clubs adhere to those guidelines.Manfred appeared
at an athletic forum for SMU before joining Rangers and city of Arlington
officials for an update on the plans for a new entertainment complex and a new
stadium for the team.Among some other topics:- Asked about San Francisco 49ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernicks national anthem protest, Manfred said Kaepernick
has the a right to express his view.Look, I respect, and baseball has always
respected, peoples rights to express their views, Manfred said.- While not
wanting to get into getting into any specific issues that will be negotiated,
Manfred said he is optimistic about our ability to get a new collective
bargaining agreement. The current contract between owners and players will
expire Dec. 2.Theres been a lot of work done already. I think the pace of that
work is going to pick up as we get closer to the end of the season, he said. I
think that people on both sides of the table understand that the games doing
well, and what should be most important to both sides is making sure we keep the
game on the field for our fans.

were eliminated from the playoffs two years in a row by the Cleveland Cavaliers,
are playing as if they want another shot at LeBron James and friends.The Hawks,
who visit the struggling Miami Heat (2-7) on Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines
Arena, are off to a 7-2 start, tied for second in the Eastern Conference with
the Toronto Raptors.Cleveland (8-1) is alone in first place.The Hawks, who have
been off since beating the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night, are playing
better defense this season, in part due to the addition of shot-blocking center
Dwight Howard.So far, the Hawks lead the NBA -- by a wide margin -- in terms of
fewest points allowed in the fourth quarter, 20.1. The second-best
fourth-quarter defense belongs to the Boston Celtics, who are allowing 25.8.We
try to wear teams down with our depth -- maybe thats what it is, Hawks small
forward Kent Bazemore told Atlanta media when asked about the fourth-quarter
play. The fourth quarter is when you hone your focus. Thats winning time.Howard
leads the team in the paint. He is averaging 15.2 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.9
blocks.He will face talented Heat center Hassan Whiteside, who has eight
double-doubles in nine games this season.But while the Howard-Whiteside matchup
bears watching, the Hawks figure to have a big advantage at power forward with
Paul Millsap, who leads the team in scoring (16.7 points per game). Millsap was
also a second-team All-Defense player last season, and the Heat dont really have
an answer for him at that spot.Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder, who averages
16.3 points, leads the team in assists (6.2 per game) and gets the offense going
with his great speed. He, too, figures to have an edge since the Heat are
missing point guard Goran Dragic, who sat out the past two games due to a
sprained left ankle.Bazemore averages 11.3 points, and Hawks wing guard Kyle
Korver, who is one of the best shooters in the league, spreads the floor by
averaging 9.8 points, including 45.0 percent accuracy on 3-poiinters.

Jordan 11. Leading the Hawks bench brigade is Miami native Tim
Hardaway Jr., who is averaging 12.3 points. Hardaway, whose dad was a former
Heat star, is playing very well, shooting 61.5 percent on 2-pointers and 34.8
percent on 3-pointers.Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, who did not attend Mondays
practice due to a personal issue but is expected to be at Tuesdays game,
preaches defense.Any time we hold a team to 20 or less points in a quarter, he
lets us know its well-appreciated, Bazemore said. Thats what he loves. Thats
what a lot of our guys love. Its our calling card.On Tuesday, the Hawks will try
to shut down a team that is already sputtering.The Heat, after falling at San
Antonio 94-90 on Monday, have lost five in a row and will now have to face a
more-rested team in the talented Hawks.Dragic, who has been replaced in the
starting lineup by Josh Richardson, had a walking boot removed from his foot on
Monday, when he rode an exercise bike for the first time since his injury.The
Heat likely will try to get Dragic back in time for their Thursday home game
against the Milwaukee Bucks.In the meantime, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra made a
lineup change Monday, starting Derrick Williams at power forward and benching
Luke Babbitt.Williams, who played a combined total of just three minutes in
Miamis first seven games as Spoelstra went with Babbitt and others in the
rotation, scored five points in 16 minutes against the Spurs.He gives us a good
burst of energy and athleticism, Spoelstra said of Williams, who likely will
match up against Millsap. He just needs to continue to build and do what he is
doing, which is working to get better.Williams showed his athleticism in Miamis
first possession Monday, working off a screen, taking one bounce and hitting a
corner mid-range jumper.I just want to play hard and be consistent, Williams
said. I want to bring energy, effort and efficiency. ' ' '
