Brandon Hyde has shown his sarcastic side this week.The Orioles manager’s bullpen entered Wednesday’s game having covered 14 1/3 innings over the previous three nights. He joked after Monday’s hectic win that his bullpen was in “excellent shape, fresh as all could be.” On Wednesday morning, he once again quipped his taxed bullpen, which needed two innings from starting pitcher Jack Flaherty the night before, was “fresh.”The dire state of the Orioles’ bullpen was never more evident than in the late innings of Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros. An exhausted relief corps blew a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning and allowed a walk-off single in the ninth to spoil another gem from ace Kyle Bradish.Shintaro Fujinami was erratic in the eighth, walking two batters, and Mike Baumann followed to allow one of Fujinami’s runners to score. With the game tied in the ninth, left-hander Danny Coulombe allowed a leadoff double to Yaine...

Gov. Maura Healey appointed five members Wednesday to a review board created this year that is tasked with opening up a pathway to state-based veterans benefits for those who received an other than honorable discharge under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.The board, created in the fiscal 2023 state budget, will review veterans’ cases and recommend their eligibility for state-based benefits, a move Healey said marked a “historic milestone” in Massachusetts.“We need to make sure that all of our veterans and all of our LGBTQ veterans in particular, today are truly honored for their service by making sure that as we go forward, they receive the benefits that they earned and are earning by serving our country,” Healey said.The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barred openly LGBTQ+ people from serving in the military. It was repealed in September 2011. More than 13,000 service members were separated under the policy from 1994-2011, according to Department of Defense data.Veterans in Massa...
