Judge in Catholic bankruptcy recuses over church donations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:59 GMT

A federal judge overseeing the New Orleans Roman Catholic bankruptcy recused himself in a late-night reversal that came a week after an Associated Press report showed he donated tens of thousands of dollars to the archdiocese and consistently ruled in favor of the church in the case involving nearly 500 clergy sex abuse victims.U.S. District Judge Greg Guidry initially announced hours after the AP report that he would stay on the case, citing the opinion of fellow federal judges that no “reasonable person” could question his impartiality. But amid mounting pressure and persistent questions, he changed course late Friday in a terse, one-page filing.“I have decided to recuse myself from this matter in order to avoid any possible appearance of personal bias or prejudice,” Guidry wrote.The 62-year-old jurist has overseen the 3-year-old bankruptcy in an appellate role, and his recusal is likely to throw the case into disarray and trigger new hearings and appeals of every conseq...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:59 GMT

Left-handed pitching prospect DL Hall didn’t break camp with the Orioles because they wanted him to continue to work as a starter. His first appearance with Baltimore this year could come out of the bullpen, where he thrived down the stretch last season.The Orioles added Hall as their 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Hall, 24, is the No. 2 pitching prospect in the organization behind right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, who is scheduled to start the second game of the twin bill. With Dean Kremer pitching the opener, Hall will provide length out of the bullpen on a day the Orioles’ pitching staff will need to cover two games’ worth of innings.Hall was the scheduled starter for the second game of Triple-A Norfolk’s doubleheader Friday. The outing would have been his fifth this year with the Tides; he allowed eight runs, 15 hits and nine walks with 20 strikeouts over 16 1/3 innings in his first four starts, building up from lower...

Bill Madden: Buck Showalter managing a short-handed Mets roster as he waits for reinforcements to show up

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:59 GMT

The probable pitching matchups for the first showdown Mets-Braves series of the year — David Peterson vs. Max Fried, Tylor Megill vs. Spencer Strider, Jose Butto vs. Charlie Morton — only accentuated the obvious: Buck Showalter is managing short.That’s short as in, short at least two proven quality starting pitchers, and short as in another outfield bat to offset a mostly black hole bottom third of the Mets lineup.Right from the get-go, when Jose Quintana went down in spring training with a lesion on his rib and Justin Verlander was KO’d from starting the season with a teres major strain, Showalter began the process of putting together a “cut and paste” starting rotation comprised of Triple-A call-ups Joey Lucchesi, Megill and Butto, and further compromised by Carlos Carrasco’s sore elbow and Max Scherzer’s 10-game sticky stuff suspension. The Quintana injury now looms especially large since he was slated to assume the innings left by ...
