Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:14:08 GMT

Hayden Wesneski momentarily paused to consider his words.Coming off two subpar starts, Wesneski produced his best outing of the young season Monday at Oakland Coliseum. At one point, he retired 15 consecutive hitters in the Chicago Cubs’ 10-1 victory.Yet the 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t satisfied by holding the A’s to one run in seven innings while striking out seven with no walks.“Man, I don’t know. I feel good about it, but I don’t feel great. Maybe (Tuesday) I’ll watch it and I’ll feel happier about it,” Wesneski said.“Early I didn’t have the confidence, then the third, fourth inning I started to get into a rhythm, but it still didn’t feel great. The sixth and seventh inning, they got me right where I needed to be. Yes, I feel good, but the first couple innings I still didn’t feel like myself. I had to grind through it and we got to this point.”Wesneski has often been harsh in assessing his per...

Here are the Ravens’ 5 biggest needs entering 2023 NFL draft

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:14:08 GMT

The last time the Ravens had such a dearth of draft picks, Bill Clinton had just been impeached and Michael Jordan had just retired for the second time. The year was 1999, the Ravens were coming off a dismal 6-10 season in what was just their third year of existence and they had just four selections in that April’s NFL draft.Things also worked out well — Baltimore nabbed future All-Pro cornerback Chris McAlister with the 10th overall pick, took wide receiver Brandon Stokley in the fourth round, and two years later beat the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV with McAlister and Stokley as significant pieces of that championship team.This year, the Ravens have just five picks (Nos. 22, 86, 124, 157, 199) and none in the second round. Only the Denver Broncos with five and Miami Dolphins with four have so few picks this year, and once again Baltimore’s focus will be on cornerback and wide receiver, with those two positions the most glaring needs on a team that went 10-7...
