Bryce ‘Run Through That Sign’ Harper

One word to describe Bryce Harper is emphatic. Emphatically, he brings it. Tenaciously, he runs it out like a pro, and when necessary, Harper pulls a 45 ACP in the middle of familiar showdowns of his hometown Las Vegas, and delivers. It is the bread and butter to Harper’s life achievements running the base paths.

It all started last night when third base coach Dusty Wathan tried to stop Harper from attempting home. Reminiscent of Pete Rose, Harper removed the helmet and ran blazing. Harper did not stop at the point of no return. He was legitimately gone, and Wathan was not having any of it.

Wathan could not be more glad that the Phillies scored, but waving Harper’s hopes, dignity, and integrity on the base paths proved one notion.

Harper finished with one walk and a strikeout by the Miami Marlins. At one point, Miami received an outstanding play by Jazz Chisholm to throw out Nick Castellanos.

Marlins left fielder was not enough for Harper, as he displayed how to play emphatically and tenaciously on the base paths.

        Ok. I know just the way to put that. At first I wasn’t sure but I got an idea. What if I say this… The Diamondbacks came slithering into the postseason like snakes. Would that work for you? Or I can say the Diamondbacks slithered their way out of a hole and made it to the postseason like snakes slithering into the ground. Would either of those work for you?

I have also met Phillies sportswriters like Todd Zolecki, Alex Coffey, Destiny Lugardo, Brian Mcquilkin, and Allie Foster. I interviewed them just to learn what Sportswriting was like.
