Harper gives the Phillies the lead in the 8th
I guess Harper is pretty good after all.
I said to the no one here as he came up “If you are a bona fide Hero, you will hit a home run.”
I guess he is.
ETA I thought sure Hader would face Harper. Nope.

Phillies win the NL Pennant.
Interesting bunt call with one out
You’re down to you last two outs of the season, with the tying RISP, and you willingly give one up. Brutal.
Last time I saw that was in women’s softball
He was surely bunting for a hit, but if he feels like that’s the only way on and you let him bat and then you let Austin Nola take the final at bat and make the final out, well, you get what you were asking for.
Other than their backup C, did they have another PH option?
No idea. I know off the top of my head they used two PHs in the DH spot.
Guess BoMel was saving Hader. The good news is, he’ll be well rested for tomorrow.

Bochy said afterward that it was Grisham’s call, but he also said that before the at-bat, he told Grisham that if the 1b played back, try to drag one toward first.
Bochy?
Brain fart. Meant Melvin.
Brain Fart Melvin works, too.
