CHICAGO — It should have been a good thing, the bases loaded in the second inning. Even better that it was a result of hits from Adolis García and Bryson Stott, Phillies batters who have struggled in recent days. The score was 0-0. Anything, seemingly, could happen.Then Rafael Marchán, who likely would not have played if not for J.T. Realmuto’s battered back, quickly found himself in an 0-2 count. He worked it full, then fouled a pitch that looked so much like a swinging strike that fans at Wrig...

TAMPA — Brandon Hagel has a pretty thick skin. He’s got the kind of scar tissue that might have made some players quit long ago.

How NIL changed the way players and teams look at Day 3 of the NFL Draft

But Jones had other plans.Advertisement

CLEVELAND — Let’s get something out of the way: You can only answer the questions that are asked of you.After the Toronto Raptors lost Game 1, a reporter asked Brandon Ingram about his quiet second half, when he attempted just one field goal.
