 seven three the Phillies do win the Phillies are in first place despite all the stuff that's gone on with them and Bryce Harper but he struggled he had a great you know first week right hit a home run in the upper deck he were the Phillies fanatic socks the fans were into it as they should be but last 10 games he has slumped miserably and the irony is if you look at it right now his numbers are pretty much exactly as they were last year I mean they are almost to a tee exactly obviously the home runs aren't there but in terms of his average on base lugging it's all right there and I'm curious Frank look we knew you're gonna get booed and Philly when you're not performing he's not performing but is the honeymoon officially over no doubt and you just said it that the numbers are the same last year first half he was awful he did not have an all-star first half last year and they expect that up a third son of a 13-year contract trust me they booed Santa Claus they will boo Bryce Harper Bryce Harper's got to come with it every day in that ballpark play with his hair on fire use the whole field once he uses the whole field he'll get back to being the hitter that we all know and Frank I will give Harper some credit though for a couple things last night after the game he says hey I would have booed me too you go back to the previous week when there was the issue with Arietta and Harper getting ejected and Jake saying that we need to have Harper in the game and Bryce said hey yeah you're right I have to be in the game so he has handled this scrutiny exceptionally well and to your point Kevin he is to borrow the phrase who we thought he was last year in according to fangraphs.com 46th in baseball 46th among position players in wins above replacement now wins above replacement doesn't tell us everything but what that says was he was not one of the best 25 players in the game now that he was paid like he was but the statistics said that he was not so that's the challenge Frank to continue to be true to himself maybe be 20% better but this basically is Kevin as you said the player that he was last year and another another point you know Arietta you know kind of jumped on him after that New York may game it was unnecessary for me this early in the season I think they really should have got behind closed doors and and talked it out before you get into the media and I think that's that's pulled them down a little bit as a team gauge how to get in there and get those guys and work that out I want to go back to your actual though the at the plate thing though so you tell you you've been on this for two years about Bryce Harper being pull happy this year he's pulling the ball 56% of the time that is by far his career average give you an idea when he won the MVP he was at 48% of the time he was more of an all-field hitter why what's going on there it's just for some reason that short wall he wants to go deep watch his hips his hips cuz clear before the balls halfway to the plate Bryce has got to stand on pitches and get the ball get deep and he'll have much more success just like Cody Belgian this year he's letting the ball get deep and that small ballpark he should let it get deep because there's that it's such a small ballpark and he can homework any part of ballpark at any time and Frank we saw tonight and that it was a great illustration that you had there the Tigers attacking him away that's what's going to happen now until he proves the teams that he can do that and Kevin as you pointed out about how we used to play coming into the league in 2012 he hit the ball to center or left basically two thirds of the time now it's basically only a third of that that he's that he's going to center field or the opposite way it's been a huge change the metrics say it and our eyes say it and until Frank as you point out he can hit that outside pitch that's what he's going to see from just about every team from now until for a guy's a muster you don't have to pull this guy's got some of the biggest power ever seen from a hitter stay center in the middle of diamond he'll have tremendous success in that small ballpark to your point one thing to wrap it up he has been smart and measured with this quotes just as Ricky Waters for who for what right I mean first game is an eagle like that that stuff gets remembered for he's got 13 years worth of quotes so he's he's towed the line there very nicely now they want to see the production for Bryce Harbour
