Tale of two Orioles rookies: Grayson Rodriguez struggles while Gunnar Henderson impresses in playoff loss

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:42:53 GMT

It’s no secret the Orioles’ magical run has largely been fueled by their youngsters.But the big question hanging over Camden Yards as the calendar turned to October inquired whether those youngsters — only six rostered Orioles entered this series with playoff experience — could replicate regular-season performance under the scintillating lights of cruel and unforgiving postseason baseball.On Sunday, with the Orioles falling, 11-8, to the Texas Rangers and going down 2-0 in the American League Division Series, the spotlight focused on starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez and infielder Gunnar Henderson. Both were integral to the success this year of an organization emerging from a grueling rebuild.Two stats in particular help explain the duo’s postseason divergence Sunday.For Rodriguez, it was the regression from the regular season. He surrendered more earned runs (five) in 1 2/3 innings than he had in any of his previous 13 starts since being recalled...

Some GOP candidates want to use force against Mexico to stop fentanyl. Experts say that won’t work

MIAMI (AP) — Ron DeSantis wants suspected drug smugglers at the U.S.-Mexico border to be shot dead. Nikki Haley promises to send American special forces into Mexico. Vivek Ramaswamy has accused Mexico’s leader of treating drug cartels as his “sugar daddy” and says that if he is elected president, “there will be a new daddy in town.”Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner for the 2024 nomination and long the person who has shaped his party’s rhetoric on the border, has often blamed Mexico for problems in the United States and promises new uses of military force and covert action if he returns to the White House.Many of the GOP presidential candidates say they would use military force against Mexico in response to the trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. More than 75,000 people in the U.S. died last year from overdoses of synthetic opioids, an annual figure more than 20 times higher than a decade ago.The candidates’ antagonism toward Mexico is welco...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:42:53 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Schumer said Monday he was grateful for a strengthened statement from China condemning the killing and kidnapping of Israeli and foreign civilians by Hamas, issued during a bipartisan Congressional visit to Beijing that included a lengthy meeting with President Xi Jinping. Schumer had said earlier in the day that he was very disappointed by China’s failure to strongly condemn the attack on Israel and show sympathy for the country and its people. Schumer led a delegation of six senators to China for talks aimed at stabilizing ties following a sharp deterioration in recent years over trade, U.S. support for self-governing Taiwan, human rights and other issues. The delegation, which included three Democrats and three Republicans, was the first visit by U.S. lawmakers since 2019 and came at a time of growing attacks on China in Congress as America contends with Beijing’s rise as a global power.
