And, well, Bryce, this was as crisp a ball game as I think we've seen.
I, I know you, you guys won nine straight and those were all great.
But defensively, offensively, and pitching, everything went awesome today.
Yeah, I thought Zeus obviously, you know, came out and, and did his job.
He's been great for us.
And you know, Kyle obviously doing what he did.
And, you know, just all around really good game and, good to get that one.
Seems like you guys had a great game plan going in against Wu today.
He throws a lot of fast balls.
What are you looking for in that, that first at bat there to be able to take him out to left center?
Yeah, just trying to get a pitch over the plate and, you know, hit something hard and, you know, was able to do that.
All right.
So Bryce, you said when you move to right field it's gonna take a couple weeks to get your arm strength up and all those things.
You have made some stellar defensive plays.
How much fun is that play today that you make?
Yeah, it's great.
I mean, I feel like, yeah, I feel like it's been, it's been pretty fun to get out there and run around and, you know, be part of it.
I love playing here.
This is one of my favorite parks to play in, so- always fun to come in here and, and play out there.
So it's, yeah, that was fun.
What's it like playing behind Jesus who's just filling up the strike zone today, seven innings pitch, just dialing it up?
Yeah, I mean, that's Zeus.
You know, that's, that's our starting staff when they're doing it, going right.
And, you know, I thought Zeus threw a great, you know, did a great job today and threw it well.
All right.
So you, the, the combination of you and Schwarber have put together, you know, when you guys homer, the record is like through the roof.
How much does that, for you guys, how much does that ease things when you're able to pop it out of the ballpark together like that?
Yeah, I mean, any time you're able to get a lead for your guy, you know, knowing Zeus is going today, knowing we gotta win that game today- Yeah knowing we can't get swept.
Obviously we gotta, you know, go try to get Wu the best we can.
It's a really good starting staff over there.
It's a really good bullpen as well.
So, just trying to get the lead early and, you know, hopefully, you know, you know, hold that, and I thought Zeus did a great job to do that for us.
Dude, we don't wanna jinx anything or anything like that, but you are, your eyes are wide at the plate right now- the way things are going.
I mean, it's, your eyes are wide at the plate right now.
I appreciate it, y'all.
All right, Bryce.
Thanks for joining us.
Thanks for joining us.
You too.

Very good day for the Phils as they take it and they at least salvage this three-game series.

Six-nothing the final score.
The Phillies have knocked off the Mariners to take the final game of this three-game series.
First two games didn't go all that well offensively, except for Bryce Harper, who had four hits, and today he kinda just picked it up where he had left off, and then everybody else really followed.
They got the first six runs in the f- in the, they got the six runs in the first two innings.
Didn't get anything after that, but they didn't need anything after that because of Luzardo.
No, they didn't.
Just five hits after that second inning, but you know what?
It was just the approach, was, was outstanding.
They had just a really good game plan going in against Wu.
The defense was great.
I, it just, it was just a really good team effort.
You love to see them play baseball like that and, and you know, get out of here with, without getting swept.
And you know, they faced some good pitching by the Mariners, and you don't wanna make excuses, but they were pretty darn good.
But, you know, moving forward, hopefully they go to Anaheim and win a series.
Yeah.

We go back to, South Philadelphia, where Reuben Amaro Jr.'s, is, hanging out with Michael Barkann.
They're getting ready for the post-game show.
All right, so Reuben, there's a lot to like about today.
Defense, awesome.
Offense, got enough in the first couple innings.
And then Luzardo was, as Ben said, kind of in a rocking chair all day long.
Great team effort today, Tom.
I, I really felt like, this is the type of baseball that you sort of expect of this team when you're a contender and you have this much talent.
They played every facet of the game very, very well.
Obviously, having Jesus Luzardo on the mound, that makes some things a lot easier, but great defense.
I love the way Stotts playing third base.
It's pretty extraordinary- Yeah how easily he's made that transition.
Even our shortstop, Trea Turner, made a heck of a play and, and you know, Arize has been-
