00:00If you had to give the era a grade right now, a midterm grade for the Bryce Harper era in
00:06Philadelphia,
00:06how would you grade what we've seen from the Harper era in Philadelphia?
00:10I'm going A. I'm going A.
00:14I'm not here to say, like, okay, you could throw the no championship in my face.
00:19Right.
00:19But you think about the drought, the playoff drought that this team was in,
00:24and it's no shock that things started to change after he was signed.
00:30The players that were able to come here, the shift from ownership, John Middleton is on record.
00:36I know we have plenty of cuts about that.
00:38Dombrowski was a huge piece of that.
00:40I think he came in 21, if I'm not mistaken.
00:42Yeah.
00:43Yeah.
00:43That's right after the pandemic.
00:44Look, everything started working there.
00:46Don't get me wrong, but I'm going to give it an A.
00:48I think Bryce Harper has lived up to the billing.
00:51Did he have a down, somewhat down season last year?
00:54Of course.
00:55I know that's, you know, we talk about that 261 average a lot.
00:58We talk about the postseason struggles, but this team made a World Series when they had no shot,
01:03no business doing it with 87 wins that year.
01:06Again, there's more to being a franchise player than just what you do on the field.
01:12It's the reality of that contract.
01:28If you skip that, okay.
01:29We have a franchise player in the field.
01:30You're going to play the country now.
01:30We're not going to play the world.
01:31Yeah.
01:32That's me.
