“Just bad baseball:” Bryce Harper is frustrated following series finale

Bryce Harper made it short and quick following Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Arizona:

“Just bad baseball.”

What made it bad? Bad base running, a poor approach at the plate, just an overall lack of offense. We dig into the Phillies’ 7-8 start, and what is ailing the Phillies’ lineup. Plus, we look at who the Phils’ next cleanup hitter should be and more.

Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper, and welcome to the Billy Show. Just bad baseball. Those were Bryce Harper's words following Sunday's four to three loss to the Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies lost another series. They can't seem to score. Ruben Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd Zeleck. It's Monday, April thirteenth, twenty twenty six. Guys, what do we think of Bryce Harper's assessment following Sunday's game. It was a notable. Anytime Bryce talks, it's notable. He's one of the biggest stars in baseball. His words matter, His words resonate good or bad or otherwise. Just bad baseball. Jim, would you, Jim, when you were in the you were in the clubhouse with me, What did you think in the moment?

00:00:55
Speaker 2: I thought it was succinct, accurate and autobiographical.

00:01:09
Speaker 1: Referring to that basement.

00:01:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that fourth inning play. It can't happen. It's a base hits, it's a leadoff hit up the middle. It's a chance to get.

00:01:19
Speaker 3: Something that happens all the time. What's that it happens all the time?

00:01:27
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:01:27
Speaker 2: I know it does. And it can't. I've seen it. As soon as he came out of the box. I knew what he was doing because I've seen it. I've seen it for several years. But in a one run game, it's just period. You can't do that. It's reckless. And you had a chance for a lead off base hit down a run, and he said he was trying to get something gone because they hadn't done much. And it reminded me of a hockey player who wants to go out there and drop the gloves, except you know, it really backfired because he's out by five or six feet and if he's on first base, there you're actually starting something because the next batter, I think it was Marsh hits one off Gallon's leg. It rolls toward first base. Now you have one out and a man on second, so possibly something could have gotten going. So that was And he's been swinging the bat pretty well the last five or six games, very well. I think he's got a fifteen hundred ops, so there's a lot of good in there. He's starting to really come around with the bat. That's a big thing. But sometimes you have to be happy with a base hit up the middle. I know, you're trying to get more done, but that backfire. But you know, I do think the thing that he was referring to when he talked about bad baseball was the two first and thirds with no oles, especially the eighth thing that was so killer. Another base running blunder by Marsh that blew up in their face. That can't happen. Then you walk away with a difficult one run loss on a day when you made two pretty bad eras and one run can change everything.

00:03:04
Speaker 5: And I mean, my feeling is just that they haven't played well in any really phase of the game. There's nothing, no part of the phase of the game that's been you know, something that you would consider a plus. They've done some good things at times. They've had some good pitching at times. They've had some good bullpen work at times. It's nice to see that some of the guys are starting to hit the ball a little bit better, but generally an overall, they just I mean, the defense has been great at times and then spotty and shoddy at times, and that's the reason why they have the record they have, and that's the reason why they're losing baseball game. Situational hitting has been a problem for them for a while, and particularly in the playoffs, and that's why people have such great frustrat with this ball club. But in those situations, you have to drive in runs. It doesn't matter who the player is, it doesn't matter where who the situation arises to. Runs need to be scored. And and then you take the pressure off the bullpen, the starters, whoever, the you know, whatever the situation may be. When they don't do that and they don't add on, then it becomes really problematic.

00:04:28
Speaker 3: And they haven't done that.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I mean that that. I mentioned the marsh space running play, but that was only really part of what went wrong in the eighth inning. You know, Stot strikes out two really nasty breaking balls in off the plate from Gang go good pitches nonetheless, and then Garcia pops up and then it's compounded by the base running mistake. So really, for an inning that started off with great promise first and third, it ended with a just an absolute sod. I mean, the life went out of that ballpark, Phillies.

00:05:10
Speaker 1: I just want to run through some stats here just to kind of give you a big picture. Where they are batting average, they're batting two to twenty one as a team, that's twenty fifth in baseball. On base percentage three h seven, that's twenty second in baseball, slugging three sixty seven, sixteenth in baseball. It's hard to believe some teams are slugging worse ops six seventy four nineteenth in baseball runs. As of last night, they had scored fifty three runs all season, third lowest output in all the Major League Baseball. They're five through eight hitters are at MLB worst, have an MLB worst five forty two ops, so just overalls as an entire group, And you know, kind of going back to I was just curious, so I went back and looked at the Harper play and it was actually and follow me here for a second, it was actually one of his fastest home to second runs since the beginning of the twenty twenty five season. But but he doesn't run like he used to three, four, five years ago, as as talented of a hitter, as as Bryce has been and as he remains is we're going to talk about in a little bit. He's not running as well as he did. So maybe four or five years ago, maybe he gets there. But but now he's just not going to get there on a play like that, and so that maybe he needs to kind of recalibrate that aggressiveness on that ball, because, Jim, the explanation after the game was, you know, usually when I hit a ball right there, I've had a lot of success getting the second base. But you know, as you get older, you get slower, you know, so maybe you need to rethink that that theory that I can run on that that type of ball hit to that spot.

00:07:01
Speaker 3: In the field.

00:07:01
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just the same thing, Jim. I'm watching them going, oh my god, he's going here, He's going here.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: And I'm like, there's no way he's going to get here.

00:07:09
Speaker 1: And he did not get there.

00:07:11
Speaker 3: He did not get there.

00:07:13
Speaker 1: So but we will be right back. We've got a lot more to talk about the offense, Bryce Harper and more.

00:07:23

00:08:27
Speaker 1: We're back. We're back. Lots of talk about guys and uh let's talk right now, Well, let's talk. Let's let's let's focus on the positive here for this week because it's Manco and Manco Best Week. Hey, there's a seat with some pizza. We love it, We absolutely love it. Manco Manco Best Week. It's where we pick the best player performance play quote. Whatever we want to do, we can do it. To me, there's an obvious guy in this list and we were just talking about him a lot. Are you guys thinking the same thing?

00:09:09
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:09:09
Speaker 1: We didn't we didn't chat before the show on who our manco manco guy is.

00:09:13
Speaker 3: You guys want to go you go ahead, top or do you ahead? Talk? Well?

00:09:18
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it's Bryce Harper. I mean to me, that's about the only guy on the team. I mean you could maybe you guys think differently, but but Bryce Harper had an absolutely ridiculous week. Betted five twenty six. This is from Monday in San Francisco through Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Betted five twenty six, ten for nineteen, four doubles, a home run, six RBIs, six walks, one strikeout All week fifteen hundred ops. And I did some nerdy deep diving this morning, guys. I got up early and because I was just curious because there's been so much talk.

00:09:54
Speaker 3: About Chase, Chase, Chase, and this.

00:09:56
Speaker 1: Guy's got a cut back on the Chase and matter who hits behind him.

00:10:00
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:10:01
Speaker 1: This past week, Chase rate twenty nine point one percent the week's leading up to that thirty nine point five percent, So he's chasing at fewer pitches out of the zone and this one, but this really popped out at me. It's even more impressive because this past week he only got pitches in the zone thirty one percent of the time. Wow, thirty one percent of the time the week's leading up to it forty seven percent. So in a week where he saw fewer pitches in the zone than he had at any point all season by far, he chased fewer pitches in the zone by far. So that is pretty elite.

00:10:41
Speaker 3: Dare I say, And.

00:10:42
Speaker 1: Now that's a word that I'm going to get real tired of this season.

00:10:47
Speaker 3: I'm already tired of saying it, but I just said it.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: But just an absolutely elite performance by Bryce Harper. It shows you that the theory talking to Kevin Long in spring training, you are your own protection, Bryan, you are your own protection. Go out there, don't chase that junk out of the zone. Be your own protection. And he's proving that you could literally have anybody hitting behind him and he can put up all star MVP type numbers. So Bryce Harper Slice of the pie.

00:11:18
Speaker 2: Certainly good numbers. I mean, his ops the last six games is over fifteen hundred. It's sitting five twenty six, so I can't quibble with that. I make give an honorable mention on the Maco Omico Best of the Week to Justin Crawford. He continues to make things happen. You know, he almost ignited a ninth inning rally the other night with two outs. He put some life in that ballpark, hit that ball top of the wall. And then in the only rally they had on Sunday, he started it off. They had four consecutive extra base hits and I think it was a sixth inning and he started it all off with a double Turner home run and swover and Harford double. So very impressive what Justin Crawford has done here. I think he's played fourteen games his first two weeks as a big leaguer.

00:12:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:12:13
Speaker 5: The only other guy that I'll mention is Juan Duran, who's been outstanding.

00:12:17
Speaker 3: He's been very good.

00:12:18
Speaker 5: He hasn't had a ton of opportunities, but he has been very good, and that's been impressive. He's doing his job. Now it's up to guys like Alvarado and others to do their jobs as well.

00:12:35
Speaker 3: Alvi's been struggling a little bit.

00:12:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about it?

00:12:38
Speaker 2: And they let that lead get away yesterday too, on top of all the other stuff that happened, he let that lead get away in the top of the eighth inning. The Diamondbacks just totally turned that game around in the with the help of the Phillies in the eighth inning.

00:12:51
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, it's not a great matchup for Alvarado just because he does not hold runners and that puts a lot of pressure on the defense and stuff. So, and it also puts pressure on him to have to throw strikes consistently. And it's been a little bit of a little bit of a slump as of lady needs to throw a little bit more consistent strikes.

00:13:11
Speaker 1: He's got an near ray I think over twelve so far this season, Jose Alvarado. So he's been he's been struggling big times. So that was Manco Manco best week. Hey, Now we love Manco Manco. Check it out at the shore or at the ballpark. Jim and I always look down and people walking through the Manco Manco and where I got Jim goes look another Manco and Manco.

00:13:41
Speaker 2: I do as he's salivating as the drool comes down off of Jim's chin. I always say, why can't they send one up to us? I see the people right in front of us, and you gotta give a shout out to those young kids.

00:13:57
Speaker 1: Those young Yes, there's a couple of kids out in front of the press box Ruben on Sunday, Noah and Ellie who were They're waving up at us and they're big fans of the show. So we were talking to Noah Ellie and then I apologize to their mother. I said, I'm sorry. Jim and Rubin sometimes say bad words on the pod. I apologize for them, and they said, she said, no worries, no problem, no problem.

00:14:20
Speaker 3: I never say bad words on it.

00:14:26
Speaker 1: As Ruben would say, sometimes sometimes this team makes you want to say bad words.

00:14:35
Speaker 5: Well, yes, and I've been saying a few of them as of late, thankfully not yet on the air.

00:14:43
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you know what they said. You're you're allowed to say a bad word once on the air, once and then you're out the dough.

00:14:53
Speaker 1: They don't have a dump button on on you, Uben.

00:14:56
Speaker 3: They should, the producers should have a dump button on me.

00:15:02
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Phillies are going to open up a three game series on Monday night against the Cubs, and there's going to be a new lineup. There has to be a new lineup. Brandon Marsh hit clean up this weekend, and he hit cleanup because the Diamondbacks had no lefties in the bullpen. Well, the Cubs have lefties in the bullpen, and so Alec Bohm last week was dropped from fourth to seventh to eighth in the lineup. He's really struggling, as we all know. He's got a four to fifty six ops this season. And asked Rob Thompson, I think it was Saturday. You know you need a cleanup hitter. It's not going to be Boom. You have JT or Dolas Garcia, and Rob with a wink and the smile, said Dolan. Scarcia is a strong candidate to hit cleanup and maybe a few days ago that would have looked great, but Garcia is now in a slump. He's hitless in his last eleven at bats. You guys, any thoughts on the cleanup spot and he concerns about what's going on and now from four on down in this lineup.

00:16:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have one. They don't have one. And Garcia, Man, I just look at his hands. They look so tied up at his setup. They look tight and tense and just like rigid at his setup. What do you see when you look at that room.

00:16:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's just trying to not have as much movement. And you're you make a great observation because you're a great scout.

00:16:41
Speaker 3: You're a great area of scout, Jim.

00:16:43
Speaker 5: The thing that the thing that that I see is that he's trying to concentrate so hard on not waggling his bat and tipping his barrel forward that it almost looks like there's no rhythm or no movement and no relaxation.

00:16:59
Speaker 3: So you you make a good point.

00:17:01
Speaker 5: So he's sort of caught in between, it seems, where he's trying to be steady with his barrel and yet still loose with your hands and free. Right, the best way to hit is when you're free your shoulders, your hands. You want to be nice and loose and relaxed. But you know what he might be, you know, thinking about that maybe too much, maybe just a little bit, just like everybody else in the lineup, trying to do too much, pressing to do well. Probably wants to impress and play well, especially in front of the fans. It's hitting season, the weather's coming out, it's going to be warm. Maybe it's time for these guys to start unleashing a little bit. You see some signs of them breaking out with Harper and others, but you know, they just have to be able to put runs on the board when runs are presented to them and when they have base runners on to not And I saw the quote from Trey Turner, maybe we're trying to do too much. And here it is. I think our lineup is great. We've got great players up and down. Sometimes I'm guilty of this too. You're trying to just too harden those situations. You know, it's kind of a freebie. All you have to do is hit a fly ball to center field to move a guy over. Sometimes it doesn't happen. I mean, these are the kinds of quotes that are, you know, cathartic in a lot of ways, like they have to face it and understand that, hey, you know, it's time for them to just go ahead and relax and play baseball and let their abilities take over. And when that starts to happen more consistently, this team will start playing better baseball.

00:18:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, they seem to be pressing. Just listen, in no doubt these little acknowledgments. You know, we don't want to, but you know, sometimes we're probably trying too hard. Well, it sounds like you're pressing, you know. Kyle Schwarber tried to you know, talked about that a little bit on on Saturday. Following Saturday's games. I think it was Tim Kelly said, how badly did you need a big inning like that on Saturday? He's like, well, I don't know if we badly needed because once you start badly needing some things, things basically get really bad on you. But I think they badly needed it, and I think they feel like they badly need it because again we've talked about this. They they know what everybody's saying outside the ballpark, and they also they also look up and see their numbers up on the scoreboard one lie, you know, five fifty ops, six fifty ops. They look and see those numbers on the scoreboard. They know what they're doing so and they know they're losing games that they should be winning, and they know they're not coming through in big spots, so I think it's only natural to kind of feel that pressure to come through. But I think they're also kind of going like, you know, let's trying to We're a talented group. We got to calm down here and try to come you know, just have a good at bat, pitch to pitch.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: And the offense. One of the real troubling things of the offense is the inability to sustain. You know, they'll have that one inning and then it's total shutdown for the rest of the game. Right, you know, you look at the last six games, they've only in four of them, they've only scored runs in one inning each time, and the other two they've been shut out. You know, you just can't throw up eight or nine zeros a night. And for the life of me, I don't think this team is going to do that over the long haul. I do think they're going to hit. But the question remains when.

00:20:57
Speaker 1: Right would like to know where they rank in baseball and runners left on base, because they do seem to have some traffic on the bases. Eight, they're eighth and Okay, I still remember a postgame quote back in the day when the Phillies were struggling and Chase Utley was asked about all the runners left on base. He said, well, if we're putting runners on base, eventually we're going to knock them in. You know, so you got to think that that is you got to think that that's going to happen. Just the law of averages.

00:21:33
Speaker 3: Is going to happen.

00:21:34
Speaker 1: You know that some of these guys are not going to be hitting one fifty in July and August, because if so, it's going to be a hell of a year.

00:21:41
Speaker 3: When teams get into those kind of funks.

00:21:43
Speaker 5: It's because they forget that the pressure is on the pitcher, not the hitter. And when you have that mentality, when you have the mentality that, Okay, this picture has to make a pitch to get me out instead of I have to get a hit to drive a run in, then that mentality that sort of there's a paradigm shift in your head as a team and as a player. I know that was it for me personally, that when I struggle with guys with runners on base, I started thinking, Hey, this guy's got to come to me, He's got to make a pitch to me to get me out, and not the other way around that I have to get a hit and this guy is going to you know, he's got the upper hand.

00:22:33
Speaker 3: It's it's quite the opposite. And so.

00:22:38
Speaker 5: Once I think they get that sort of mindset back, you know they'll have a lot more success.

00:22:45
Speaker 2: So we did not answer the question who who hits clean up on Monday night for the series opener against the Cubbies.

00:22:53
Speaker 1: I think I think it's got to be, I mean, the other one, the only justin Crawford. People want him to move up. Fine Filey Rubin a voice of reason. Here, here are the cleanup Here are the four three right handed hitters, and look at their numbers right now. Philly's options for cleanup hitter Alec Bohm. It's not gonna be Alec Bohum. We know that, But I put his numbers up there anyone, because he hits right handed one forty eight four.

00:23:19
Speaker 3: Fifty five ops.

00:23:20
Speaker 1: The dulest Garcia's actually hitting two four six thirty one ops. JT real Muto two twelve seven to fourteen ops. If you look at the numbers, you might say j T. But I just you know, I just don't put him there. And I mean Rob basically said it's going to be Garcia. I would go with Garcia despite that.

00:23:39
Speaker 5: Ru about just how about how about putting Schwarber in the four hole and sliding somebody else one of those right handed bats in the three hole. Gosh, now I don't know who that right handed bat is.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're off.

00:23:59
Speaker 5: Slide Schwarber into the one hole, Turner into the two hole, and Harper into the three hole, just to mix things up.

00:24:08
Speaker 3: I like to break up the left handers right now.

00:24:09
Speaker 5: Those guys are not swinging the bats all that well against lefties.

00:24:13
Speaker 1: That's true.

00:24:14
Speaker 3: You're really struggling.

00:24:15
Speaker 5: So if they bring a left hander in out of the bullpen, it puts them in a tough spot. I just like to see them break up the left handers right now. Somehow, I know that doesn't solve the four hole hitter issue, but I'd like to see them break up the two left handers.

00:24:32
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I would do this just but just for conversation's sake, would you put Crawford one, Turner two, Harper three, Schwarver four. I mean, I know it's really early on a kid on Crawford.

00:24:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean eventually maybe, but not yet. Yeah, it's a possibility.

00:24:50
Speaker 3: That's good. It's a good conversation. It's a good conversation to have.

00:24:55
Speaker 2: I don't know, like I look at this team a little bit, and you have a very steady manager, and I like that about the manager. I think this is a game. This ain't football where you bang your head against the locker. This ain't hockey where you go out and drop the gloves and get it all out. This is a steady, day to day game. And I like that about the manager. But I also think sometimes you got to apply a little stun gun to people, and a real lineup shake up like that where you put the kid one turn a two Harper, three Shore or four might be a little stun gun to wake some people up.

00:25:37
Speaker 1: I thought you're right about that. I just you think Justin Crawford could handle that. I guess that's the question. I meant, that's my.

00:25:45
Speaker 2: Question, and I don't want to. I don't want to overwhelm the kid and send them to a tizzy for two weeks. I do believe that there's a way to break in a player, and what they're doing is the is the right way. But this team needs a little bit of a stunt gun.

00:26:02
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with that at all, not even a little bit. They need and they needed a little self stunt gun.

00:26:09
Speaker 1: Self starter deltese at. Okay, so let's let's let's let's wrap this up.

00:26:20
Speaker 3: No idea who to put in a four hole.

00:26:23
Speaker 1: There's really I mean, that's kind of says.

00:26:25
Speaker 5: I don't know what to tell you because there's not anybody swinging the bat well enough in my mind to be able to create the protection that's necessary. They don't have that player right now.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about how about Tag Davis. You see what that kid is doing.

00:26:42
Speaker 5: Bet he do some damage again yesterday because he's playing my alma mater.

00:26:45
Speaker 3: I know they were one in one before yes yesterday's game.

00:26:49
Speaker 2: He's amazing. He's going to finish in the top three or four of the Golden Spikes voting Ben Davis's son. Last I look, he was second in the in the nation and home runs and like fourth and slug or something like that. He's having a month. But he's a left hitter. He's always a left hand Phillies can't use them right now. They need a right handed bat. Jim Nice try, but he's only a sophomore and this kid is playing himself into being a first round pick in twenty what's what year are we in twenty six?

00:27:18
Speaker 3: In twenty seven?

00:27:21
Speaker 1: Right on, I did grass, good jeans, big supper, good jeans, big.

00:27:27
Speaker 2: Supper, good jeans. Good appetite, good appetite.

00:27:32
Speaker 1: All right, Phillies, Phillies play. The Cubs open a three game series on Monday Night against the Cubs. Tonight's game, Monday Night's game is begins at six p forty. You have right hand or Javier Asad against Christopher Sanchez. Sanchez won six' FIVE. Era but he's, LIKE i haven't really felt that great my last two starts so any in so maybe he finally feels good and then he finally starts. Pitching, well what do you Think?

00:27:56
Speaker 5: Tuesday he wasn't, physically he didn't feel physical well before last year last start there AND i believe it was In San.

00:28:04
Speaker 7: Francisco, yeah he JUST i think he was a little under the weather and but he got heated up later on because a ninety seven mile an hour sinker started flying out of his hand.

00:28:16
Speaker 1: LATE i, mean it's, amazing how amazing how you do a guy like that does even when he's not feeling. Well so tonight he's in tiptop. Shape tuesday night six Forty Colin ray Against Aaron, nola and Then wednesday night six forty showed A emonaga Against Jesus. Lizardo lizardo is definitely looking for a nice bounce back. There so another big.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Deal you Mentioned sanchez not feeling. WELL i mean that we didn't really talk About. Painter what a job he did for a kid who legitimately was not feeling. Well On sunday, morning he was throwing up and had a migraine and able to shake it and get in there in the third inning and pitch five innings one run for the morning he. HAD i thought that was super.

00:29:05
Speaker 5: Impressive not only, impressive but also super. Important in the, clubhouse he's probably viewed as a guy that's got some, cojones maybe a little differently than he was even viewed prior to that, outing because for him in this day and, age, Guys i've heard, this And i've heard this from. Quotes WHEN i was in the clubhouse In New, York i've heard players say this to, others don't go out there unless you're one hundred, percent which shocked me BECAUSE i don't know That i've known any player or athlete to ever be one hundred percent at any time health, wise and for him to go out there in this day and, age and after having the migraine issues and to get on the mound and eat up some innings and that was really his intent when he got on the, mound and to do the job that he did and to basically put them in a position to win the. Game pretty impressive and it's got to be they got to be loving it in that.

00:30:11
Speaker 3: CLUBHOUSE i would love him IF i was his. TEAMMATE i, mean he said a great.

00:30:15
Speaker 1: Point, yeah he, Said he's LIKE i had to go out there and pick up the, bullpen and it's like it's a bad situation, that you, know for a reliever to show up and, go wait what all of a, sudden you, Know so.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: The third, game third game of his. Career i'm not going to. POST i, mean he was legitimately, sick And i'm sure he earned some respect and some stripes in that room for his.

00:30:40
Speaker 5: Toughness, yeah and By jack pop up sort of you, know hanging in there and never never really done it, before hadn't pitched it as a starter since college. Days so, yeah good to see him go out there and it gave up a. Run but STILL i went out there and at least held it down for a couple of innings Before painter did his.
