Bryce Harper, The CHOSEN ONE

[@guyincognito320]

The way he's been perceived negatively shows how uptight baseball culture tends to be. Easily offended, lame, impersonal, etc.

[@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

He is god. Let's go FIGHTINS

[@1neOfN0ne]

I know us Phillies fans used to hate him and really let him hear it whenever the Nats game to citizens bank park. That's actually what he says made him want to play here. He loves our passion, knowledge of the game and overall grit_ If he keeps doing what he's been doing, one day a statue of him will be up right outside of the bank. He's without a doubt the best free agent pickup the city of Philadelphia has ever had.

I swear y'all in Philly could hear me screaming WALK HIM from across the country. That being said dude has been putting in work this postseason and deserves all the praise.

I think I heard ya over here in Philly 😂 jk. Suarez only gave up one home run to a lefty the whole year. Melvin just trusted his guy, which is understandable. But hader had a very very nice 1-2-3 outing in game 2. Very controversial managerial moment. Series had me on edge tho. I got the padres as next years favorite going to the ws. You guys have a bright next couple years!

[@raytul12]

That was a great series. I’m a Phillies fan and I love the Padres. Very bright future, great unis, likeable characters, and an absolutely beautiful ballpark. Made it out there last year and it’s by far my favorite stadium in the league.

@@JerryStackhouse42 yeah, that series was hard fought but the Phillies delivered when it mattered most, beating the Dodgers was like winning the WS for us anyways. Next season should be an even better outing though, Tatis' suspension is down to like only 20 games bc of this year's postseason.

[@smokeymchaggis73]

One correction. Buster Posey was drafted in the first round (his second draft in 2008, 50th in 2005) won Rookie of Year in 2010, an MVP in 2012, and not one but three World Series in 2010, 2012, and 2014). So Harper is at most the second to have done so. But that doesn’t take away from his greatness, just confirms it.

All right. Pet peeve time. 1st round pick? 1st pick overall? I hear people say variations of this all the time. Often it's not important. But sometimes it is. Because Bryce was the 1st overall pick, it could be that you mean what you say, but I am left wondering whether its 1st pick overall. It is difficult to believe that no 1st rounder has done this. Mantle, Mays, Jeter, Ripken all come to mind. Mays and Mantle were FA signings. Jeter didn't win ROY. Ripken, plus Brett and Schmidt were all 2nd rounders. (Brett and Schmidt were both drafted in the 2nd round of the 1971 draft. Back to back.) So I will assume you mean what you say. However, for clarity, I wish people would keep it in mind that it sometimes matters what pick in the round it is. And in this case, because Bryce was the 1st overall pick, you should clarify you mean 1st rounder. Or not. Like I say, its a pet peeve of mine and y'all are probably saying something like, "Please shut the f..........." Astros in 5.

[@jamesgoss1860]

I think he will truly be the X factor in this series. If the Astros can neutralize his bat with some ungodly ball placement, they should breeze through the series. If he plays like 2013 WS David Ortiz, it will be an issue. If Harper goes 2012 Sandoval on Verlander in game 1, that could spell dooooooom.

[@quigonkenny]

As an Astros fan, I'm glad to see the Phillies make it. Not because I think the Astros will have an easy time or anything. Far from it; I think it's going to be a tough series. The Phillies seem to be built specifically to succeed in the playoffs, much like the Astros. Only real difference is the Astros have better depth, especially in the bullpen. I think they'll give the Astros the best series out of the NL teams. Dodgers and Braves were too traditional. Lots of talent, but nothing too interesting. That's why they both lost. I thought the Mets or Cards would be interesting due to old history with the Astros, but clearly neither of those teams had what it takes to get to the Series, at least this year. The Padres have great power and some great starting pitching, but they're the kind of team the Astros were specifically built to face. See the Yankees series. The best think about the Phillies is that they're unpredictable. They show such power and ability in the playoffs, yet they barely squeaked into the playoffs. They can be shut down (see the second to last game of the season, versus Verlander and the Astros), or they can kill the ball with the best of them (see NLCS Game 4). Which will it be? Either way, should be fun.

[@TK0_23_]

Oops. There actually is one guy who: 1. Was a 1st round pick - 2nd pick overall 2. Won the Rookie of the Year award 3. Won 1 MVP 4. Won 1 World Series title and 5. Won a Triple Crown 6.
