Looking back on this the coolest thing is thinking about how Bryce looked up to see if his mom and dad saw the hit. The first thing I always did when I came up wit a big hit was look to see if my parents saw the hit/there reaction. At the end of the day Bryce is just a kid playing ball like all of us

"oh my god" is an understatement from John Kruk. Harper personally sent that ball to God himself, same day shipping. Absolutely LAUNCHED the damn thing into orbit.

[@futur_sunds]

Not a huge baseball fan, but I do admire that about the league. It isn’t as political and dramatic as NBA or NFL. If your not a huge fan like me, it can be a rather boring sport but it’s pretty relaxing, and you can put it on the tv all day and just come back to the game here and there :)

[@andya2665]

These players managed to turn me off from baseball . Too many primadonnas. I'm done with these overgrown crybabies. And I aInt alone.

[@galehess6676]

This is the moment it all started to click together for Bryce in Philly. He eventually won MVP again, he gained the confidence of feeling like he could lead this team and beat his former teammate KB and the defending WS champ Cubs.... And today, three years later, he goes yard to lift his Phillies over the Padres and into the WS. Incredible. Go beat the Astros!

[@VeraIV]

as a Padres fan that really hurt, but then I started to lear alot more about Bryce Harper and I'm just glad it was Him and the Phillies that ruined our playoff run, hes an insane player and the phillies are beast.

[@JohnNolan-rk5dz]

When did Kris Bryant play with Bryce or you mean someone else?

Those Phillies 80s road jerseys are super sweet, especially how that maroon pops with the powder blue. I wish my Braves would consider wearing their 80s road uniforms every once in while in the future, but admittedly theirs wouldn't look as good as the Phils'.

I had gone to the game the night prior to this and took the train to this game, 2 outs down by 2 we got up to not miss the train, something I never do, I always stay for the whole game. As we walked down from the upper levels I noticed how the game had not ended, the crowd was still seated. As we got to the bottom level we noticed there were now 2 on and Bryce was on deck. Bases became juiced and Bryce got up, I forced my friends to stay. We stood at the top of the left field stands. Watched Bryce get down to his final strike, and absolutely lost our minds when Bryce sent one straight into the right field upper deck, exactly where we had sat the entire game. That’s a memory I’ll never forget and cherish to this day. Thank you Bryce

[@margaretjiantonio939]

He ran faster than someone who hit a double or triple.

As a Cubs fan, this one stung much worse than people realize. All of our 2016 magic died right then and there. You could argue that it died in the 2018 wildcard game but to me, this was the moment when it became official. After being swept by Philly, we floundered out the end of the 2019 season, ultimately losing the division to the rival Brewers, and were eliminated from the playoffs entirely for the first time since 2014. Cubs fans will forever be grateful for reversing the curse in 2016 but it was sad in this moment knowing that we weren’t going to build on that championship even further. Bryce’s grand slam ended it.

Kind of dampened the night for him, but he had been to the top so can't feel too bad. And he had his fun in Philly, the year before we were on TV and the Kruk, Schmidt got a little fired up when we were in the same seats and I caught KB's hot grounder to save my friend's teeth and then let him keep the ball at his house :).

Astros are the only 100+ win team that acts like it in October. Way to many guys on that team with deep playoff XP. I just don't see them beating Verlander twice. They might get Valdez and Verlander once , but they ain't gonna beat those 2 guys 4 times.... It would have to be the worst week of baseball Houston played all year for them to lose this series.
