Orioles’ ‘deep’ bench working to master the art of pinch hitting ahead of playoffs: ‘Every man on this roster is important’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:29 GMT

The series against the Los Angeles Angels, on paper, didn’t look too enjoyable for Ryan O’Hearn and Adam Frazier.On the docket for the Angels were left-handed starting pitchers for all three games, meaning O’Hearn and Frazier would spend most of the series on the bench.But the two veteran left-handed hitters knew their numbers would be called sometime at Angel Stadium. They were Tuesday, and they both delivered clutch hits to spark a comeback en route to a critical September win.“We’re able to do that platoon thing, which isn’t necessarily fun if you face three lefties in a row,” Frazier said. “But it’s honestly impressive how deep the bench is for us. I think that’s a big reason why we’re so good. We can swing matchups in our favor and we’ve got good players coming off the bench.”The art of pinch hitting isn’t easy. After riding the pine for most of the game, the player must quickly get loose and fa...

Patriots know they need more than Malik Cunningham to prepare for Jalen Hurts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:29 GMT

FOXBORO — A relatively highly-paid offseason addition allowed the Patriots’ defense to prepare for one of the most dangerous players in their Week 1 slate slightly early this summer.Quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham, who earned a team-record $200,000 in total guarantees as part of his rookie free-agent contract, was taking reps under center against the Patriots’ starting defense as far back as Aug. 13.In those snaps, the Patriots were primarily calling designed runs — read option and otherwise — with Cunningham under center. One theory for why Cunningham, who’s now on the practice squad, was seeing those reps was to prepare the defense for when the Patriots played quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles in the season opener on Sunday.Head coach Bill Belichick didn’t want to get too carried away with the value of Cunningham showing the Patriots looks similar to the ones Hurts might give them, however.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Pa...

Mexico ends its federal ban on abortion, but a patchwork of state restrictions remains

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:12:29 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican Supreme Court decision to end the federal ban on abortion extended a regional trend of increasing access to the procedure, but left in place a patchwork of varying state restrictions.The high court on Wednesday threw out all federal criminal penalties for abortion, in a ruling that will require the federal public health service to offer the procedure to anyone who requests it.That will mean access for millions of Mexicans since the social security service and other federal institutions provide health care to most people who work in the formal economy. Some 20 Mexican states, however, still criminalize abortion. Those laws were not affected by the Supreme Court ruling, but abortion rights advocates will likely ask state judges to follow its logic. Abortions are not widely prosecuted as a crime in Mexico, but many doctors refuse to provide them, citing the law.Celebration of the ruling soon spilled out onto social media.“Today is a day of victory and justi...
