    Phillies better without Harper but what’s new

    We see it time and and time again these big sluggers are rarely rarely missed and they seem to play better without them of course there’s outliers like maybe judge but not many

    They are not better without Harper. What a stupid thing to say.

    You guys are real dumb Washington won the World Series as soon as Harper left

    He’s a strikeout machine that doesn’t hit enough ground balls

    Philadelphia is playing better than ever

    You might know the least about sports than any person here. The Phillies bullpen is one of the best in baseball the last month and a half. That’s why they are doing ok. They still struggle to score runs and the lineup has struggled with Harper out. Doesn’t hit enough ground balls? What?

    They aren’t playing better than ever. Buy yourself a clue.

    My Phil’s season bet (under 86.5 wins) is definitely in jeopardy….need Bryce back asap.

    Fair enuf. Yes, sometimes a big-name player goes down and the team gets it done anyway.

    A few situations I can think of where the Name Player got injured (or departed)...and team got better:

    1969 ABA: Oakland Oaks - Rick Barry got injured. Team played well, won title.
    1998 Coll FB: Tenn Vols - Year AFTER Peyton Manning. Lesser stats from Tee Martin. Team plays well, wins close games, win NCAAs.

    Red Sox: Garciaparra departed. Team went on to win title. It's a little more complicated, b/c the SS replacing him was better defensive player.

    Wentz goes down and eagles win the bowl anyway.…was wentz the star? I never liked him so my opinion is biased.

    I’m as big of Phillies fan as there is. This team was swept by the cubs 10 days ago. Just stop. Harper is a top mvp candidate in the league and makes everyone in this lineup better. Anybody that has even a little baseball knowledge understands this.
