Trea Turner thanks Phillies fans for support on billboards throughout Philadelphia

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 18:43:18 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner used a simple message to express his appreciation for the way Phillies fans have stuck with him during a rough first season in town: “Thank You, Philly.”The message was splashed on 12 digital billboards in the greater Philadelphia area following a series when Philly fans — often billed as some of the worst in sports — gave Turner standing ovations in at-bats throughout the weekend. The idea to cheer Turner was hatched on social media and the slumping shortstop responded — he blasted a three-run homer in a win Saturday against the Royals.Turner signed an 11-year, $300 million deal with the National League champions in the offseason, but he is batting just .238 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He was even dropped to eighth in the batting order.In three games over the weekend against Kansas City, Turner went 4 for 12 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs.Turner was scheduled to bat seventh Monday in the opener of a four-game set against Washington bef...

Patriots training camp Day 13: Mac Jones can’t finish 2-minute drills over rainy, sluggish practice

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 18:43:18 GMT

FOXBORO — Two snaps.That’s all it took over a drizzly Monday afternoon practice for the Patriots offense to again remind viewers of its shaky foundation. Whatever plays Bill O’Brien might design on the white board or passes Mac Jones may fire from the pocket or upgrades the front office probably made at wide receiver and tight end, the offensive line remains suspect. And until the Pats can block consistently, problems will persist.The Patriots’ starting defense “sacked” Jones on his second snap of live team drills, when defensive tackle Davon Godchaux burst through the middle of the line like the Kool-Aid man. Jones received a nice reprieve in the next period, when they faced the Patriots’ third-string defense and took turns dicing it up with Bailey Zappe. But when the starting defense met them again inside the red zone, and later over ensuing two-minute drills, the offense stalled.Why?The offensive line allowed Jones and Zappe to be sacked a comb...
