After a quiet Game 6, the two stars must deliver Tuesday night against the Diamondbacks or the World Series dream ends.
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper reacts after striking out during the fifth inning of Game 6 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.In the first Game 7 in the 141-year history of a largely moribund franchise, the two most dangerous postseason hitters in Phillies history will bat first and third again Tuesday night, as they’ve done most of the season and all of the NLCS.
Babe Ruth, of course, leads the category, at 1.214. But Harper was 36 points better than Albert Pujols, 84 points better than David Ortiz, 95 points better than Barry Bonds, and 123 points better than Mickey Mantle.For better or worse, lineup revolves around Schwarber and Harper the way Tatooine revolved around two suns. They’re the ones tasked with supporting the starters.
The new pitch clock, a continued discomfort pitching from the stretch, and the pressure of pending free agency combined to limit Nola, who ended contract extension talks in the preseason. He will be a free agent, but he was hemorrhaging money ... until late September. A mechanical change, a slide step, and some mental fortitude made him a money man.
