An article on Tuesday about Representative Nancy Mace announcing her run for governor of South Carolina referred incorrectly to President Trump's primary victory in South Carolina. The state was his second primary victory in 2016, not his first. An article on Thursday about the Royal Ballet and Opera canceling a collaboration with the Israeli Opera to stage 'Tosca' in Tel Aviv next year misidentified the opera at which a dancer staged a protest during the curtain call. It was 'Il Trovatore,' not 'La Traviata.' A picture caption with an obituary on July 19 about the editorial cartoonist Steve Benson misstated the given name of a former governor of Arizona, whom he often lampooned. As the obituary correctly notes, he was Evan Mecham, not Alfred. An obituary on July 28 about the songwriter Tom Lehrer misstated his mother's given name. It was Anna, not Alma.

'Wouldn't overblow it' - Education Minister on maths book errors
Erica Stanford says it is not unusual to have errors in books. Photo: RNZ / REECE BAKER The Education Minister has thanked "keen bean" students for picking up errors in Ministry of Education-funded maths resources. Eighteen errors were spotted and fixed in new maths resources, including incorrect sums, a wrong number labelled in te reo Māori, and incorrectly saying "triangles" instead of "rectangles" in an answer. In one case, an answer to a problem in a Year 4 workbook was listed as 1024, and had to be changed to the correct answer of 19,875. In another workbook, the number four in te reo Māori (whā) was incorrectly written as two (rua). Erica Stanford said she "wouldn't overblow it," as there was, on average, half a mistake per book. "Those little eagle-eyed, keen bean students around the country who are now doing an hour a day of mathematics, picked them up and we've fixed them," she said. Stanford said it was not unusual to have errors in books, and they may have been there for a while as they were existing resources. "You find it quite often in books, and it's not just these maths books, you'll find the odd error here and there." The errors were immediately changed online, and would be fixed in re-prints for next year's release. A Ministry of Education list of the errors that have been resolved in maths resources.

Rockies pitcher suffers comical meltdown in nightmare loss as terrible season reaches new low
The 27-77 Colorado Rockies have made many errors on track to being the worst team in baseball this season. But on Saturday night, two incidents on back-to-back pitches truly showed how bad the team has been. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Rockies were down 6-0 on the road against the Baltimore Orioles. Rookie relief pitcher Ryan Rolison was on the bump and was 25 pitches into his outing when he faced outfielder Cedric Mullins with one out. Mullins tapped a simple grounder to the left of the mound and within the pitcher's range. Rolison ran over to field the ball, but as he spun around to toss it to first baseman Warming Bernabel, he fired his throw wide and low of the fielder. Mullins reached second on the throwing error, Tyler O'Neill reached third, and Colton Cowser made it home to open the lead to 7-0. On the very next pitch, Rolison dealt to catcher Jacob Stallings - who hit the ball to almost the exact same spot on the field. The Colorado Rockies — Underdog MLB (@UnderdogMLB) July 27, 2025 Rolison raced over and fielded the ball once again. This time, instead of his throw going low and wide, the pitcher tossed it at least four feet above the head of Bernabel. The bad toss scored O'Neill and advanced Stallings and Mullins into scoring position. Rolison got Jackson Holliday to ground out to second before he was pulled from the game. Surprisingly, Rolison didn't have the worst pitching performance from a Rockies ace tonight. That dishonor would go to Nick Anderson, who gave up five runs on six hits in the bottom of the seventh inning to prolong the misery and stretch the Orioles lead to an unhealthy 17-0. Baltimore would get one more run on the board in the bottom of the eighth to arrive at an 18-0 final score. Despite their horrible first half of the season - which included a 21-0 loss to the Padres back in May - the Rockies have won five of their first eight games coming out of the All-Star Break. They'll hope to win the series with a game on Sunday.

Aaron Judge honestly addresses Yankees' defensive struggles
The post Aaron Judge honestly addresses Yankees' defensive struggles appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees had another rough day in the field on Wednesday as the team committed four errors in its 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees had seven errors in the three-game series against their AL East rivals. New York has gone 1-6 with 11 errors in seven games in Toronto this season. Following the latest loss, Aaron Judge was asked about the team's fielding issues north of the border. 'We haven't been playing that well on defense,' the Yankees captain acknowledged after a lengthy pause, per YES Network. 'We've got a lot of things we've gotta clean up and that's one of the things we've gotta clean up. So going into this off day we've just gotta refocus and just tighten it up a little bit on defense,' he added. 'To give any good team extra outs, that's not going to go well for us,' Judge said. Sloppy play dooms Yankees in Toronto After shortstop Anthony Volpe struggled with errors in each of the first two games against the Blue Jays, the Yankees came undone on Wednesday. Max Fried's throwing error in the fifth inning allowed two runs to score. Then a fielding error by first baseman Ben Rice gave Toronto a 6-4 lead in the sixth inning. Left fielder Jasson Dominguez also had a fielding error in the seventh, allowing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to take an extra base. And second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. added a throwing error of his own in an all-around sloppy game. Judge, who dominated defensively in New York's series against the Chicago Cubs, was DHing in Toronto on Wednesday. The Yankees lost the division lead when they were swept by the Blue Jays at the beginning of July. The team had a chance to make up some ground in the AL East but New York is now four games behind Toronto after losing a mistake-filled series. The Yankees will look to regroup at home against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Rookie Will Warren will take the mound for New York as the Phillies start veteran hurler Taijuan Walker.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone defends club's defense after 4-error loss vs. Blue Jays
The New York Yankees are not exactly shaking their reputation as a club with defensive issues. New York fell further away from first place in the AL East on Wednesday with a mistake-filled 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The team finished with only one more hit (five) than errors (four). The Yankees entered the three-game series with a chance to tie Toronto atop the division with a sweep, much like the Blue Jays did toward the end of the first half, but instead lost the series while committing seven total errors. They now sit four games back from the Blue Jays with roughly a third of the season to go. Some errors were worse than others, but looking at them all together paints a picture of a team leaving Toronto with numerous regrets. That four-error total doesn't even count a ball that right fielder Cody Bellinger lost in the night sky. Balls that fielders lose track of — due to the sun, lights or something else — are rarely recorded as errors. This play was scored as a triple for Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement. Even casual baseball fans are likely aware of the Yankees' defensive woes at this point. Their infamous meltdown in Game 5 of last year's World Series left a mark, and two brutal series against the Blue Jays in the past month have cemented that reputation for many, especially the club's own fans. With four errors in that other series, the Yankees have now committed 11 in seven of their most important games of the season. New York manager Aaron Boone defended his players after the game, conceding that mistakes were made but insisting the team is still strong defensively: "Just not good enough. Look, I think we have a very good defensive club, but clearly in the seven games we've played here, not giving them extra outs whether it's through error or not making a play that we need to make, that's cost us in these two series up here where we were really hurt. "We've got to obviously tighten it up. I'm confident we will. We'll continue to work at it. We've got good defenders here, but tonight was obviously a rough night for us." He also hinted that the artificial turf of the Blue Jay's Rogers Centre might be partially to blame, while noting that the Blue Jays didn't have similar problems: "I think it's just two bad series where we played here. I don't know if it's just coming to the turf — that's not really an excuse, it's the same game — but obviously I think in these series we've given them too many outs and it's cost us." Boone does have a point, though. The Yankees' errors have made headlines, but their defense comes out much better when viewed more broadly. With 52 errors on the season, they rank around the middle of the pack in MLB, and there are a lot of defensive stats where they actually come out quite well. They entered Wednesday ranked second in all of MLB in defensive efficiency, which is the rate at which a team turns balls in play into outs. They were ranked sixth in defensive runs saved and ninth in Statcast's fielding run value. They're not exactly a team of Gold Glovers, and more than a few Yankees fans will argue they're seeing something worse, but the hard numbers say there are several teams who have done much worse for themselves on defense. Of course, it's still concerning that the mistakes came frequently when the Yankees were playing the closest thing to a playoff game this season, one year after bobbling away the World Series following a regular season where they also scored out fine on defense. That's definitely an issue, and one that might go beyond what a few quick coaching sessions can fix.
