Julio Rodríguez was a tortured MLB star. Now he has found his joy again.
Julio Rodríguez exists in a strange little shadow. It is there when the roof of T-Mobile Park is open and present when it is closed. It lingers when he homers just as it does when he strikes out. At times in recent years — such as when he willed himself to hit 41 home runs for the hometown crowd in the first round of the 2023 Home Run Derby or when he made big changes to his swing after his second straight all-star season because he thought he could be better — his efforts to outrun it have been clear. At others, that shadow has dulled the twinkle in the eyes of the kid who electrified Seattle with his gleaming smile as a rookie in 2022.

NBA Cup 2025: Schedule released for Rockets' group stage games this fall
This fall, the NBA is set to play the third annual edition of the in-season tournament that it introduced in 2023. Each season, six five-team groups — three groups per conference — play a round-robin format. The winners of each group, along with one wild-card from each conference, advance to the eight-team knockout round. Each group features teams from the top, middle, and bottom of its respective conference, as determined by standings from last season. Now known as the Emirates NBA Cup 2025, this season's event tips off on Oct. 31 in team markets and culminates with the semifinals (Dec. 13) and championship (Dec. 16) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Nearly all Cup games also count toward the regular-season standings, with the championship the lone exception. On Wednesday, schedules for all group-stage games were released. For the Houston Rockets, who are in Western Conference Group C along with the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and Portland Trail Blazers, the schedule is as follows: Friday, Nov. 7: Rockets at Spurs, 6:30 p.m. tipoff (Prime Video) Friday, Nov. 14: Trail Blazers at Rockets, 7:00 p.m. tipoff (local TV broadcasts only) Friday, Nov. 21: Nuggets at Rockets, 8:30 p.m. tipoff (Prime Video) Wednesday, Nov. 26: Rockets at Warriors, 9:00 p.m. tipoff (ESPN) On designated 'Cup Nights' between Oct. 31 and Nov. 28, each NBA team will play four group-play games, Teams will play one game versus each opponent in their group, with two games at home and two on the road. Four teams per conference will advance to the knockout rounds: each first-place team with the best standing in group games and two 'wild cards' (a second-place team from each conference with the best group-stage record). The knockout rounds consist of single-elimination games in the quarterfinals, which will be played in NBA team markets on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and Wednesday, Dec. 10. The winners advance to Las Vegas. In sequential order, tiebreakers include head-to-head record in group play, point differential in group play, total points scored in group play, and overall regular-season record. Overtime scoring does not count toward the point differential and total points tiebreakers. To ensure that all NBA teams play 82 regular-season games, teams who don't advance to the knockout rounds will have two games added to their 2025-26 schedule versus other teams from the same conference who also did not advance. The two teams who lose in the quarterfinal round will play each other in a regular-season contest a few days later, for the same reason. In the 2024 edition of the NBA Cup, the Rockets advanced to the semifinal in Las Vegas before bowing out to the eventual NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Houston defeated Golden State, now its 2025 group rival, in a knockout-round quarterfinal match last December.
