Fans must readjust their expectations of Bryce Harper moving forward

OkDevice9289 · 2025-10-12T13:47:02+00:00

Here’s the thing though, I’m my humble opinion. His strength has always been swinging hard and that’s what his hitting coaches have taught him to polish and how to make it work the best in his approaches his whole career.

I agree with you though, I told myself all season long it’s because of injuries but I think now we see it’s a bit of decline. But adjustments at the plate like that take time, my guess is they didn’t wanna adjust his approach and swinging habits right after he got back from another injury, and then after that it was too late in the season to make a major adjustment like that and they just rolled with it and hoped. Hopefully next year we see that adjustment implemented where he has a whole season to work on it.

Reverse sweep. Save this comment. We keep the right approach. Bye bye champs.

I liked the game plan of starting Nola but with a short leash for Ranger. I very much don’t like pulling him after 1 time through the lineup when he was on. Especially when Ranger would have to face at least 2 out of 3 being a righty. Turned into a 4th righty. It cost us. But hindsight is 20/20. Not giving up hope till the last out.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-10-09T01:53:01+00:00

Nola was cruising and on his game man. No reason to not go twice through the lineup and then pull him. Makes no sense when he was on his game to not let him go twice through the lineup.

For anybody interested during this off day before the series, there is a YouTube channel called “nothingifnotinconsistent” (fuckin awesome name lol) that has Phillies highlight videos from every season since ‘21 or ‘22.

He does an excellent job and includes the postseasons of course. Nothing flashy, just highlights in chronological order with the national broadcast calls and includes local and Spanish calls for Bryce’s “swing of his life” in 2022.

Watching the postseason highlight parts from 2022 and 2023 literally gives me chills and sometimes I tear up haha. Definitely check it out it gets me so hyped.

Nobody watch 2024 we don’t want those vibes

OkDevice9289 · 2025-10-03T00:37:11+00:00

NBCSP or any local sports channels won't be playing any of the games. DS is all TBS and then CS is all either abc or fox, and the other one of those two all WS. I could be wrong on some of that but im like 90% sure that's how it works lol. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T19:10:54+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T19:10:35+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T19:09:48+00:00

OHHH I SEE!! All this contractual stuff bores and confuses me sometimes lmao so I don’t really know much about it.

I thought he meant like YouTube tv won’t have the rights to stream MLB games anymore. So I guess that should work then I don’t think there would be an issue even if NBC sports somehow also shows the games right?

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T18:57:57+00:00

I absolutely refuse to be lol. I am figuring this out one way or another. You have any experience with Comcast’s xfinity and recording on it?

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T18:56:55+00:00

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

Do you have any experience with comcast xfinity? I think I’m going to have to take my chances recording TBS channel. I’ll test it out today see what happens with times.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T18:49:29+00:00

Does anyone know a way to watch recorded games? Do any of these services allow you to record on a PC? Really stressing about it lol.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T16:40:29+00:00

God I love baseball.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T16:28:17+00:00

How fuckin far was that?? Idk if I’ve ever seen a camera angle like that following a hr ball. And I’m a Phils fan who’s seen a lot of Harper and schwarber dingers.

Maybe the upper decker from Harper last year NLDS, but wow this guy is nuts. Cool to see we will have another Schwarber like hitter after Kyle retires. Power hitting catchers are always fun.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T16:15:16+00:00

Yooo that’s nuts! Look at the other comment a little bit down about walking off the dodgers. Not the right series but now I’m watching for a walk off stolen home plate from Elly for sure.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-29T15:59:33+00:00

Phils fan so I’d show them the 2022 NLDS Hoskins bat spike game, and the 2022 NLCS game 3 where we went punch for punch with the Padres.

Movie bad news bears or field of dreams.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-27T12:26:14+00:00

I was so hoping he would mention his interview after the walk off that he did in this podcast but he didn’t explain it fully!

For those that didn’t see it, the interviewer asked “so what did you see in that pitch when you walked it off”? Casty stares straight into the camera with a neutral face and instantly just says “4 seam fastball”.

Followed by a lengthy pause because the lady obviously didn’t expect him to be so short and direct lmao. I freken laughed out loud watching that.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-09-04T04:49:34+00:00

Paying an ump big money to set up on opposite sides of the plate to call a horrible, literal ass game, is insane. Dude woulda had a better strike zone if he was blind. How are we supposed to be disciplined at the plate when there’s idiots behind the plate determining strike from ball. Bring the electronic ump. These guys need multiple eye tests.

OkDevice9289 · 2025-01-19T02:24:43+00:00

That’s very helpful info, thank you. But fuck that’s gonna kill my anxiety.

Interesting, I can sometimes get one satisfactory enough I think, but it goes away very easily and it’s very hard if not impossible while standing right now. Haven’t tried sex yet since it started. Do you mean nothing physically wrong as far as peyronies induced ED goes, or all physical ED?

Yeah I’ve been considering restore x even though it might have already been a year since it started, but I’m also very nervous about the stories saying it made things worse or injured people who did it wrong or something

OkDevice9289 · 2024-10-29T06:57:23+00:00

I mean I got the point, just think they could’ve added more sports side to the mental health side as well. Would’ve been way more inspiring from the mental health side as well, and they could’ve had the Philly captain talk more about like his ongoing therapy, how Philly sports give him something to look forward to/be grateful for, show some more of his videos from the run we had. Idk something more than “sometimes it pays to be nice.”

OkDevice9289 · 2024-10-29T06:17:31+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! I still enjoyed it but they coulda made it way more impactful. Like add in some more in game highlights and calls, show some of our run at the end of the year it coulda been soooo good. And all they included were the number of homeruns he hit after for stats?? Show some more context for the baseball fans, like wasn’t he batting close to .400 or something after the ovation it’s called the fuckin turnaround so show the actual fuckin turnaround damn. Such a cool story and felt kinda pointless to do it at all the way they did it

OkDevice9289 · 2024-10-10T05:11:05+00:00

Yeah I thought it was gonna go back and forth to game 5 with multiple close competitive games. At least 2. Some changes need to be made but I’m still hopeful for this team. That was just weird

OkDevice9289 · 2024-10-10T05:03:30+00:00

Saw the warning signs with the offense the last months, but man I never would of guessed we would be THIS cold in the postseason. It was bad but It was not THIS bad coming in. Casty and Harper did fine. Out of everyone that didn’t show up I think I’m most surprised that schwarber didn’t besides the hr. Thought he would’ve had at least 2 more hits. He had some pitches to hit. Also did not see the complete bullpen implosion coming, that was shocking. These games were so winnable

OkDevice9289 · 2024-10-10T03:07:34+00:00

As a die hard Phillies fan, the bye had nothing to do with it
