Phillies Notes:
Bryce Harper-Attaboy Bryce!!! First multi-Home Run postseason game with the Phillies. I have no idea what Orlando Arcia of the Braves was thinking trying to poke the bear that is Bryce Harper but maybe trashing on arguably the best player in baseball is not the smartest thing in the world. Staring down at Arcia after the first Home Run was cold but I guess Arcia was not paying attention to Harper so he went and did it again. Legendary performance.
Aaron Nola-Great job by Nola. It looks like he saved his best ball for when it mattered here in the postseason. So happy for him.
The Bats-Standing ovation from me. This is how great this team can be. Hopefully, these bats continue into game 4.
