Kyle Freeland was darn near perfect Sunday afternoon.But three miniscule mistakes — two off-target breaking balls in the fifth, and a changeup left up in the zone in the eighth — cost him as the Rockies lineup failed to give the left-hander support in a 2-0 loss at Kauffman Stadium.Freeland’s second miss went for an RBI single that put the Royals ahead 1-0, and Maikel Garcia smacked the third for a solo homer that barely clipped the center field wall and chased Freeland from the game.“I noticed from the first inning on they were swinging and they were trying to make contact so I let them do it, and let them try and hit it as far as they could to center field,” Freeland told reporters postgame after allowing just four hits over seven-plus innings with zero walks.“Obviously the one in the eighth inning there, the wind stopped and it was able to get out. … It was the right pitch, we were throwing fastballs and sliders inside. He was aware of that. Threw a ...

Oath Keepers Leader Stewart Rhodes Says He’s a Political Prisoner. Republicans Are Listening.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:02:21 GMT

Tasha Adams won her divorce from Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes last month. Three days later, she turned her attention to the Washington, D.C., courtroom where he was set to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors had asked the judge to give him 25 years in prison for his role in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6; his attorneys had requested time served. Adams was on the government’s side. She’d been with Rhodes as he’d gone from a 25-year-old Army veteran with a high school education to a Yale-educated lawyer and then founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, which she’d helped him build. Now she considered him a threat to the nation, as well as to herself and their six children. She’d recorded a statement for the prosecution to include with their sentencing request. In it, Adams described Rhodes using a backhoe to dig escape tunnels in the yard, grabbing a daughter by the throat, and precariously waving a loaded handgun in the air before poin...
