Orioles minor league report: DL Hall, Baltimore’s No. 2 pitching prospect, has been sent down to Sarasota. Here’s why.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:46:28 GMT

During spring training, the Orioles remained committed to stretching out left-hander DL Hall as a starting pitcher rather than converting him to a reliever.Their recent decisions continue to prove that commitment.Because of diminished fastball velocity, Baltimore is having Hall take a step back on the mound with the hope he can take two steps forward in the weight room.In mid-May, the Orioles decreased Hall’s pitching workload, having him throw about 50 pitches once per week while increasing his weight training regimen. On Saturday, the organization took another step in that direction, sending Hall down to its training complex in Sarasota, Florida, to focus more on his strength training while still throwing on back fields and in live-game situations.A lower back injury limited Hall’s weight training this offseason and gave him a slow start to spring training, during which he didn’t pitch in game action the first few weeks and also displayed diminished velocity.Trip...

David French: The Supreme Court strikes the right balance on voting rights

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:46:28 GMT

One of the most important realities of American life is this: No nation can fully undo the effects of 345 years of state-sanctioned bigotry — from slavery to Jim Crow — in 59 years. The time period between the arrival of the first slaves on colonial shores in 1619 and the abolition of legalized discrimination with the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 is simply too long, the discrimination too ingrained and the distortion of society too great to wave the wand of legal and cultural reform and quickly realize the dream of American equality.At the same time, there’s another vital American reality: Through grit, determination and immense courage, Black Americans and other marginalized communities have made immense gains, the hearts of countless white Americans have indeed changed and America is a far better and fairer place than it was in even the recent past.And now, at last, in the vital area of voting rights, Supreme Court authority reflects both these truths.Earlier this month...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma has to do with appearance. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime my name is Austin and I have a dilemma that came up between me and my wife. My wife had to go away on a business trip for a week. While she was gone I decided I wanted to do something really different with my hair. I've been blonde my whole life, well, dirty blonde, but I decided I wanted to go full on black. I decided I would just surprise her with my new look when she got home. However, when she got home, well, she was surprised, but not in a good way. She couldn't believe I changed my look without talking with her about it first. She said we've been married for 14 years, and the least I could have done was consult her about the change. I told her I wasn't being unkind, it was just something I wanted for me, and that it didn't have anything to do with her. She's still giving me a b...
