🧢"This is What I Saw Last Year on TV" - Trea Turner Lauds Phillies Crowd After Walk Off Hit⚾
0But you didn’t feel any trepidation in the crowd. It’s hard to describe in writing, but there wasn’t any sort of grumbling around us, no consternation, no yelling or griping or anything like that. You didn’t sense any outward frustration or kneejerk reaction to the Alec Bohm double play or Johan Rojas near-miss in center. There was some head scratching after the bizarre Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh outfield sequence, but honestly not much. It’s almost as if fans knew the Phils were gonna continue to compete and get their chance in the late innings, and so it was enjoyable to be off Twitter and Facebook and surrounded by more pragmatic fans who were just enjoying the moment and vibrating on Nick Nurse’s frequencies of the present.
Great experience. Great to be back at CBP, and for what it’s worth, Turner has been killing it at the plate every since the “standing O” (quotation marks because really only half the crowd was standing, but most fans were clapping and being supportive) –
Ironically, the genesis of the standing O was a fielding error. But the show of support got the wheels turning at the plate while seemingly fixing Turner in the field as well. Looks like the guy just needed a confidence boost and it’s paying off for everyone.
