Jets to have officials at camp to reduce penalties, says coach Aaron Glenn

Jets to have officials at camp to reduce penalties, says coach Aaron Glenn

Al Arabiya3 days ago
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The New York Jets hope seeing more black-and-white stripes in training camp will result in fewer yellow flags during the season. Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday the team will often have officials at practice through the summer after the Jets, under the previous regime of coach Robert Saleh, led the NFL in penalties the last two seasons. New York rarely used officials during training camp practices during those summers. Many NFL teams hire officials for at least some of their camp practices, giving players the opportunity to get used to how plays are called in a non-game environment.
'I want the officials here as much as possible and they know that,' Glenn said. 'It's no secret that we were the most-penalized team in the league last year, so that's one of the things that I want to nip in the bud early – making sure that the discipline part of what we do, that we fix that now. You cannot win games in this league with an undisciplined team, so all the penalties that we had last year, we're knocking those things out.' Last season, the Jets were penalized 137 times, five more than Tennessee and Baltimore, and finished 5-12 – with Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas both fired in the middle of the season. In 2023, New York was called for 124 penalties, nine more than Cleveland and Dallas, and went 7-10.
'The officials are going to be here and we're going to knock that out, all right,' Glenn said. 'I will tell you this: We are going to knock these penalties out. We're going to understand that undisciplined teams do not win games.' Philadelphia, last year's Super Bowl champion, ranked 11th in the NFL with 103 penalties. Kansas City, the AFC champion, was fourth with 94. The Los Angeles Rams, who won the NFC West, had the fewest penalties in the league with 91.
Glenn said there are two types of calls on players during games: pre-snap penalties – 'the dumb penalties' – and competitive penalties, including pass interference. 'The competitive penalties, listen, you go back and forth with those, right?' Glenn said. 'Like P.I. guys are fighting. Those are competitive penalties. Holds, those are competitive. Now false starts, jumping offside, hitting after plays, the dumb stuff, we've got to knock those out. And we control those. And those are the things I want to make sure we get rid of.'

Rockies score 4 runs in 9th inning against Cade Smith to rally for 8-6 win over guardians

Tyler Freeman singled home the go-ahead run off Cade Smith as Colorado scored four times in the ninth inning, rallying the Rockies to an 8-6 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night. Smith (2-4) moved into the closer role earlier in the day when Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of a Major League Baseball investigation into sports betting. Smith gave up four runs, one earned, and got only one out after entering with a 5-4 lead. Colorado scored the tying run on a throwing error by Smith, bringing rookie Warming Bernabel around from second after his leadoff double. Hunter Goodman had an RBI double in the ninth after hitting a solo homer in the eighth off Hunter Gaddis. Tyler Kinley (1-3) tossed a scoreless eighth, and Seth Halvorsen gave up an RBI single to Nolan Jones in the ninth before earning his 11th save. The Guardians went in front 5-3 with a five-run seventh highlighted by pinch-hitter Bo Naylor's three-run homer against Jake Bird. Carlos Santana drew a bases-loaded walk from Victor Vodnik to put Cleveland ahead. Freeman drove in three runs against his former team, and Bernabel hit his second homer in three big league games. Bradley Blalock struck out a career-high seven in six scoreless innings for the Rockies, who have the worst record in the majors at 28-78. Key moment: Brenton Doyle put down a sacrifice bunt with nobody out in the ninth and reached second base safely when Smith threw the ball wildly to first. Doyle wound up scoring the go-ahead run. Key stat: The Rockies sent 10 batters to the plate in the ninth against Smith and Tim Herrin, collecting three hits, two walks, and a hit batter. Up next: Rockies RHP Tanner Gordon (2-2 3.13 ERA) faces LHP Logan Allen (6-9 4.16 ERA) in the middle game of the series Tuesday.

Misiorowski rebounds after rough start as Brewers rally for win over Cubs

Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski found out Monday night that it's not always smooth sailing on the mound in the major leagues. Sporting a 3-0 record with a 0.56 ERA in three starts at American Family Field since making his major league debut on June 12, Misiorowski had a forgettable first inning against the Chicago Cubs with first place on the line in the NL Central in front of a sellout home crowd. After allowing a bloop single and walk to begin the game, Misiorowski took a line shot off the bat of Seiya Suzuki to his shin. The 23-year-old then struck out Pete Crow-Armstrong but threw a wild pitch in the process, allowing a run to score. Then, after fielding a dribbler in front of the mound, Misiorowski's knee buckled as he threw wildly to first as two runners scored. Misiorowski threw 40 pitches in the inning, which ended when he struck out Nico Hoerner after a 10-pitch at-bat. 'It was a long inning and long innings suck,' Misiorowski said. 'Your legs start feeling a little loose and every pitch seems to be getting away just a little bit.' After the troublesome first, Misiorowski settled down and retired 10 consecutive batters while throwing 40 pitches over the next three innings as the Brewers offense erupted for four runs in the third to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish en route to an 8-4 victory. 'Just trust that the team is behind me and is going to help me out and they did,' Misiorowski said of his mindset after the first inning. 'I thought I did my job of getting us into a position to succeed.' Clubhouse leader Christian Yelich offered encouragement for his young teammate. 'I told him it was my favorite start he's had in the big leagues,' Yelich said. 'This shows you a lot about what he's made of. You can get down on yourself big right there. That's how it's going to be in the big leagues. It can be messy sometimes. You've got to reach back and compete when that kind of stuff happens.' Manager Pat Murphy said he learned a lot about Misiorowski by how he handled the adversity. 'We're down 3-0. He feels horrible. It's like a fighter getting knocked down in the first round and he had to regroup,' Murphy said. 'And that he did. It just goes to how you the kid can pitch, not just throw. He'll remember this outing and he's going to learn from it.' Murphy said Misiorowski told him he was exhausted after the lengthy first inning. 'But he still gave us four (innings) and wanted to go out for a fifth,' Murphy said. Misiorowski allowed three hits and three runs in four innings. He walked two and struck out seven while throwing 11 pitches of 100 mph or more. The Brewers scored four runs off Matthew Boyd (11-4) in the third to take a 4-3 lead. Yelich had an RBI double, Isaac Collins a two-run single, and Brice Turang a sacrifice fly. Andrew Vaughn hit a solo homer in the fifth and Sal Frelick hit another in the sixth to give the Brewers a 6-3 lead. After the Cubs got a run in the seventh cut the margin to 6-4, Yelich hit a two-run shot to give the Brewers a four-run cushion. 'We just had to keep putting together good at-bats, just grinding, getting in there and making it messy,' Yelich said. 'Just chip away. We didn't have to get it all back right away.'

Rays trade catcher Danny Jansen to his hometown Brewers for minor league infielder

Veteran catcher Danny Jansen was traded by the Tampa Bay Rays to his hometown Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night for minor league infielder Jadher Areinamo. Jansen was in Tampa Bay's original lineup against the New York Yankees but was pulled about 45 minutes before the first pitch. The trade was announced shortly after the Rays ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win at Yankee Stadium. Jansen said he found out about the deal after meeting with manager Kevin Cash and president of baseball operations Erik Neander. 'I was getting ready to play the game and I understand that side of baseball,' Jansen said. 'Just grateful for the time spent here with the guys.' The Rays signed Jansen to an $8.5 million one-year contract on Dec. 13. He batted .204 with 11 homers and 29 RBIs in 73 games for the Rays. Jansen grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin. He is joining the NL Central leaders to serve as a backup to William Conteras, who is playing through a fractured finger. Conteras is hitting .245 with six homers and 42 RBIs in 100 games. 'I don't live too far,' Jansen said. 'That's going to be something that my wife and I had never experienced.' Jansen was moved right around the MLB trade deadline for the second straight season. Toronto dealt him to Boston on July 24, 2024, and he wound up playing for both teams in a game at Fenway Park that got suspended June 26 and resumed two months later. 'Having gone through a trade last year will probably make this process a little bit easier for me going into a team as a catcher learning pitchers and all that,' Jansen said. 'So looking forward to the challenge and task at hand with that. I think having a little bit of experience helps.' Areinamo batted .297 with 11 homers and 51 RBIs in 94 games for Class A Wisconsin of the Midwest League and has appeared at third base, shortstop, and second base. Last season he hit .301 in 110 games for Wisconsin. The Rays are 8-18 in their last 26 games following a 25-9 stretch from May 20 to June 26. Tampa Bay is 2 1/2 games back of the final wild-card spot in the American League.
