Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has ‘Gold Glovers all over the place.’ Picking his best defense isn’t easy.

The Orioles’ depth has often prompted manager Brandon Hyde to say he has 13 position players he wants to play. But excluding the designated hitter, he can put only eight on the field at a given time.Hyde, though, was not interested in dissecting which combination of eight would represent his best defensive lineup.“It’s like saying ‘Who do you like better?’” Hyde said. “I got Gold Glovers all over the place.“The four guys that are sitting today probably are going to be playing tomorrow. … Good problems to have. I feel comfortable with everybody, to be honest with you.”That’s understandable.

Duluth banning marijuana smoking/vaping in city’s parks

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:13:38 GMT

DULUTH, Minn. — By an 8-1 vote, city councilors took their first steps Monday night toward regulating the use of marijuana in local parks.Arik Forsman, an at large councilor, described the ban on smoking or vaping cannabinoid products as a relatively modest restriction, compared with some other Minnesota cities that have moved to ban their use in public spaces altogether.Forsman said it has been more than three weeks now since the council first proposed restrictions on the smoking of marijuana in city parks, as a state law legalizes the recreational use of the drug.“I think the public is well aware of what we are doing here. We’ve tried to be consistent in all of our messaging and communications around the fact that we’re now going to treat it the same as tobacco, and that will apply in all city parks,” he said.But Councilor Azrin Awal, also an at large representative, expressed concerns the new ordinance could disproportionately affect renters and people liv...

DULUTH, Minn. — An officer was justified in fatally shooting a military veteran who brandished a knife and charged at police during a February arrest attempt, prosecutors announced Monday.The Cook County Attorney’s Office conducted a legal review of the death of Zachary James Shogren, 34, who was killed near his home on the 1500 block of East Third Street on Feb. 24.
