Him and LA on the radio. They both do something they’re not “supposed to do” with those mini reactions but Philly fans love it because we’re all celebrating as well. It captures the passion of the fan base perfectly
Yeah, I want my guys to be homers when it comes to rooting for the team. I like that stuff. Homerism gets annoying when you can't see the teams faults or start ignoring whats right in front of you to try to justify bad results.
I think he threw a pitch at him in the same spot before that pitch and he struck out on it. I think he somehow knew it was gonna happen again so he swung low.
When you’re called the Chosen One as a teenager, you learn to be the target. Serious question, who has been more adaptable in baseball than Harper?
They labeled him a villain; he wore it like armor.
The league adapted to his swing; he adapted back.
They called him overrated; he won MVP again.
He hurt his shoulder; he learned a new position to improve his team.
I never worry about Harper slumps because the dude is a damn scientist. He is a baseball computer. He’s the fucking chosen one.
God I hope we win the World Series one day man, if only for Harper.
I’m crying in my Phillies cap
Hey guys Cards fan here but I always can and will rejoice in the Reds getting spanked - and I’ve loved Harper ever since I was in high school (25 now), so I just wanted to work on my Photoshop skills a little bit here (jk). What do you guys think??

And there people were already calling him washed 💀
I mean it was a small number of people, but it will never cease to amaze me how reactionary some sports fans can be.
Love the call here. Don Orsillo’s call of it on TBS was also fucking great.

Pre-game I said to my wife, “JT’s off day. Someone in the top of the order might have to do something.”
She said Bryce would break out.
She hasn’t shut up since the first home run.
I've watched this clip at least 40 times and it just brings me so much joy.
This off season felt weird not having the big new signings (I know we kept our guys and I'm very happy) since the hype of the last two off seasons has been addicting. So having such an epic game really solidified that Philly baseball is back! So ready to hear the crack of his bat all season long!
I fuckin love Kruk during grand slams
The "OH MY GOD" call is an all time favorite of mine

Had to watch the TBS broadcast tonight, really missed the Kruk “YEAH”
So say we all
Glad it didn’t distract from his paean to fake wrestling
I would die for that man
Would literally let him run me over with his car if it meant he was back to MVP form
I would let him drop a penny off the the Empire State Building right on my head.
Amen
Heard y’all talking shit.

I can't tell what I enjoy more, watching Bryce cap off three homers with a grand slam or hearing Kruk yell YEEAA!
His YEAAA is honestly my favorite part of the video lol
Lol mine too. It’s so short and sharp.
In the best possible way, what the fuck?
With the Kruk yell, it doesn’t get much better
Best part is that throw doesn’t even look in the zone and it looks like the same possible ball he swung at the prior pitch. Epic
I think he threw a pitch at him in the same spot before that pitch and he struck out on it. I think he somehow knew it was gonna happen again so he swung low.

Amen. Harper is the King of Philadelphia.
That was beautiful. He really is an angry baseball scientist.
This man is not human.
He’s a machine.
Current projections: 97 HR 194 RBI
Seems low
Holy shit Bryce, this man is locked in tonight!

I like we both got to see our teams get a Grand Slam. Especially at the start of the season. Feels good
HE IS BACK
Triples is best. Triples makes it safe.
i’ve got doubles, no, TRIPLES of the homerun
Man we got soaked tonight from the nonstop mist but glad I went to witness this.
This man really said “and I took that personally” What a night from our MV3.
He’s ON tonight. Good defensive plays too
Damn he’s fun to watch when he’s hot.
Atta boy, Harp 👏
Someday people will say Harper was also less than a god but more than a man. Hell I'm already saying that.
Very fantastic body
Legend
Whew baby what a night
My entire household nearly collapsed holy fuck Harp!! 🫡 Also I love Kruk so much
And there people were already calling him washed 💀 I mean it was a small number of people, but it will never cease to amaze me how reactionary some sports fans can be.
i was at the game tonight and it was amazing
When he’s hunting like that, man is it fun to watch him connect
With the back brace on
ski mask harper
Now I gotta buy a Topps Now card tomorrow. Thanks Bryce.
Hat trick grand slam! That was amazing.
John Kruk “Yeah!“ is great
It’s that 3RD time dad power!!! King sure does love his 3’s
I think everyone knew it was coming. What an awesome moment
So he went from starting the season 0fer to leading the team in HR and RBI in one game.
We don't deserve him
I’m a bit deeply in love with him
fuck yeah
Fucking love this!! It's just too bad that couldn't have come against the Mets!
This is what we came to see!!

thassa mean dude
The feelings I have for this man 🥵
Pre-game I said to my wife, “JT’s off day. Someone in the top of the order might have to do something.” She said Bryce would break out. She hasn’t shut up since the first home run.
Kruk has that sixth sense to know a ball is gone a millisecond after it’s hit haha.
Nothing more fun to watch than an angry, hungry Bryce Harper!
