Orioles’ 6-man rotation could help Grayson Rodriguez maintain his velocity — and manage his workload

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:51:07 GMT

This part of the summer is seen as perhaps the most difficult of a major league season.The dog days of July and August, with the most oppressive weather of the year, is when small bumps and bruises can turn into larger problems.“Everybody’s dealing with a lot of things right now,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “It’s the middle of August, and these guys have played a lot of baseball.”But as the summer wears on, the Orioles’ youngest pitcher is far from wearing down.

NFL Notes: Could this Patriots’ pass rush be the best of the Bill Belichick era?

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:51:07 GMT

Over the spring, two of the Patriots’ three top draft picks created an unexpected buzz.In non-padded practices, first-round corner Christian Gonzalez draped himself all over his wide receiver teammates in non-padded drills. Marte Mapu flew around at linebacker and safety, making plays at both spots. The silent outlier, second-round defensive lineman Keion White, took a little longer to draw notice.Now, White is the headliner. A 6-foot-5, 290-pound menace who rag-dolls veteran O-lineman, hunts quarterbacks and runs with running backs wheeling out of the backfield.
