Ravens need to start fast during 2024 NFL regular season
The Baltimore Ravens lost disappointingly to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last season. They will be looking to bounce back in 2024, and to do that, it’d be in their best interest to start fast and make a statement early in the year. When looking at teams that could have a disastrous start to the 2024 season, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report named the Ravens one of his choices. He mentioned some of the youth on the team’s roster, particularly on the offensive line, as a reason why. “Figuring out who will take over those three starting spots and then figuring out how to maximize their talents within the scheme could take some time…Throw in a defense that will have to navigate the switch from Mike Macdonald to Zach Orr at defensive coordinator and the Ravens could have some growing pains early on in the season.” The Ravens open the season with Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, which is no easy task. They then play the Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals, and their record in those first five games could set a tone for the remainder of the season.

Corbin Burnes has whirlwind All-Star experience after checking in on newborn twins
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corbin Burnes planned to break away from his newborn twin daughters and show up at the All-Star Game regardless of whether he was the starting pitcher for the American League. In a Midsummer Classic filled with replacements and first-time All-Stars, the Baltimore right-hander was the last to arrive. Burnes, an All-Star for the fourth consecutive year, flew to Texas the morning of the game after spending about 36 hours at home in Arizona. “I tried to maximize as much time at home with them as I can,” Burnes said. “Be a dad for a little bit. Change some diapers. Give the girls a bottle. Some of the things that you don’t realize you miss when you’re away from it.” The trip was worth it, despite a bit of a two-out jam that Burnes escaped by getting William Contreras to ground out with runners at second and third. Bryce Harper had doubled behind a walk to Shohei Ohtani.
