But we obviously have to make adjustments.“We can’t hide the fact we have to make adjustments at the plate, as a team and staff. We have to get better. But as far as being 7-16 and panicking … we’re not feeling it. We’re going to have our stretches where we’re really, really good and w...

Orioles outfielder Austin Hays exits game vs. Red Sox with right hand injury after failed bunt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:39 GMT

Orioles left fielder Austin Hays left Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox after the third inning with a bruised right hand, which seemingly stemmed from a failed bunt attempt in the bottom half of that frame.Initial X-rays did not show any breaks, the Orioles said, and Hays will undergo further testing.With the Orioles trailing 7-0, Hays attempted to bunt on an 88 mph sinker from Boston right-hander Corey Kluber, but the pitch tailed in and hit the fingers of Hays’ right hand, which were wrapped around the bat, before the ball went foul. Hays flied out to deep right field on the next pitch before being replaced in left by Terrin Vavra for the top of the fourth.Before Tuesday, Hays had played in the outfield for all but eight of the Orioles’ defensive innings this season, including manning left field for every frame at Camden Yards. Hays has also been among Baltimore’s most impactful hitters; his flyout left him with a .301 batting average and .883...

We had plenty of time,” the southpaw said. “My main concern was my baseball bag was under. So I asked them if they could pull it. They said ‘Yeah, we put the submission in, but no guarantees.’”There was equipment in Ramirez’s locker when he spoke, so that worked o...

A 25-year-old Taunton man will spend the same amount of time in federal prison as he’s been alive after sexually abusing an 18-month old toddler in his care and distributing child pornography.U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin on Tuesday sentenced Cody Mercure, 25, of Taunton, to 25 years in prison to be followed by 15 years of supervised release on the charges of sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography, to which Mercure pleaded guilty in January.The U.S. Probation Office had computed a maximum sentence of 50 years for the two charges, according to the government’s sentencing memo. The defense sentencing memo asked for 15 years.“It is challenging to find the words that capture just how abhorrent and destructive this conduct was. This man sexually exploited an innocent 18-month-old child — a defenseless toddler who, at the time, was still in diapers — and recorded the abuse to watch again and again for his own sick gratification,” said ...
