[bkeich]

Harper was mad he struck out.

He really needs to pick it up, how do you strike out in that situation​

[bkox]

Freddy Galvis is at 1st base for the first time for his career

[kikutaro]

Ball (92.3 mph four-seam fastball)

[LoneStarPhan]

This is a situation where there is no excuse to walk anyone. Very disappointing to see Medina get behind on the first batter and then walk the second.

Swinging strike (86.5 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (86.7 mph changeup)

I was hoping Medina would try for the triple play. With Segura’s arm he might have had a chance

[kikutaro]

In play, out(s) (85.9 mph changeup)

[LoneStarPhan]

Medina hesitated before his throw to second. Maybe he was thinking about going to third, but the DP sure was nice.

Can't say enough about the not quitting tonight. Down by 7 runs could have been curtains for the Phillies but they didn't give up. Lots of good nights at the plate and some good pitching from some of the bullpen. All in all, an important win. On to NY and let's sweep the Mets.

[bkeich]

Really hard to go from the joy of listening to Kruk et. al. Calling a game and then go to the game with Joe Buck and Troy Aikmann. Thank God for Mute and Fast Forward

[EDmuch]

I hope the Phils make the playoffs, whether they are one & out does not matter. But if Phils can make it, Bryce Harper needs to get the MVP by unanimous acclamation. I have never seen a player just carry a team over all of its limitations like Harper has done this year.

[bkox]

The #Phillies are the first team to come back from down by seven or more runs and go on to win by at least nine since the Yankees topped the Devil Rays, 20-11, after trailing, 10-2, on June 21, 2005.

— Ryan M. Spaeder ( @theaceofspaeder ) September 17, 2021

Two other teams to do so since 1901:

May 7, 1999 - Indians over Devil Rays
Down 9-2 | Won 20-11

July 8, 1990 - Brewers over Angels
Down 7-0 | Won 20-7 https://t.co/oVj0Uir774

— Ryan M. Spaeder ( @theaceofspaeder ) September 17, 2021

This game was just the 15th time in MLB history that a team scored at least 17 runs and also used at least 7 pitchers.

— Pete the ‘Stro Fan ( @pete_stro ) September 17, 2021

[zambonir]

It kind of comes down to that best player vs. most valuable player argument - and whether the latter should be affected by what the team achieves, and also how good the rest of the team is. Would be nice if we were actually having a debate about whether Wheeler or Bryce was the best player this year, but that wound up being a first-half/second-half split I'd say.
