JV kind of got the Phillie B team last start after the clinched, but he faced Harper, and here is how he attacked him.





No fear at all. Used the header away and attacked the bottom/in with the breaking stuff.


That's exactly how Harper's heat map suggests he should be attacked. I expect a lot of that plan against him this series. I think he and Schwarber will see lots of spin this series.

The amount of people on harpers nuts is a little ridiculous. The guy has been meh, good ish for a while now. He's had a great post season to date but…

I don't see anyone calling Peña the best hitter in the American League right now.

Reminder not to panic…even though I know it won't stop us



The long breaks between each series has screwed with our offense. It could hurt us tonight, too, except that JV is throwing a no hitter, so it won't be that big of a deal.

Meh, good-ish

I'm not overly impressed with his years in Philly to consider him elite, top 5 hitters.

He's been good, meh is added because of his contract/expectation

I guess google the last 4 years if you want to swing on his nuts. I don't consider him elite. He's good.

I don't really know what youre saying.

Is he a top 5 hitter in mlb? Top 10? Top 20?

I have him 4th in the AL west. He would have to be on the rangers to be the best hitter on his team.

Harper is a victim of his own hype. He would be rated more highly if we hadn't had "he's a generational talent" crammed down out throats since he was 15. He's a very good player, but he's no Morgan Ensberg.

First of all it's a bad take. Second of all it's practically begging the baseball gods to have him hit for the home run cycle tonight. Good Lord dude, retract your ridiculous take.

Because he didn't post MVP #s ina year where he played through an injury means he's not elite?

Since he joined the Phillies, he's wRC+ is 6th best behind Trout, Judge, Alvarez, Soto, & Freeman. He's ahead of guys like Goldschmidt, Springer, Bregman, Altuve, Betts, Ohtani, Ramirez, Acuna, Tucker, Alonso, etc.

Who do you consider elite?


Maybe I can articulate myself better, he's tier 2.

Tier 1:, judge, trout, Soto, vlad jr, probably 4/5 others I'm forgetting about

I used to think that way and it's resulted in Aggie football. ***** Harper, he will eat dicks tonight and be a *****.

Let's do his per-162 averages for 4 years with Philly.


107 runs scored
163 hits
41 doubles
36 HR
105 RBI
17 SB
104 BB
.282 BAVG
.394 OBP
.546 SLG
.940 OPS

Not trying to pick at you, but where exactly is your minimum threshold for elite status if that's not it?

Yes, I would take tucker over him right now easily considering the contract weight. That's good. Not great. The meh Ill admit was more about his expectation level and cost.

Not sure I've ever disagreed with a take more, but to each his own. Harper is one of the best players in baseball. Very much elite.
