00:00Here was what I wanted yesterday when we were talking about it and I said I'm not sounding the
00:04alarms I'm not hitting the panic button but I would feel a lot better about Bryce Harper heading
00:09into the season if he was feeling good about himself if he had that big clutch hit coming
00:16on the heels of Dombrowski saying what he said I didn't want Harper pressing you don't think Harper
00:23today I know he's probably disappointed they didn't win but he's waking up saying yeah I am
00:27still the guy I am still the showman and now he's coming back to spring training getting ready for
00:33the 26th season and he's feeling like the man again that's what I wanted to see and he delivered and
00:41it's uncanny how many times I know he's had disappointments in the last two post seasons
00:46but man this guy the showman is the perfect Nick all right and and like I said numbers will start
00:52to even out when you only have 26 27 at bats okay Harper hit 222 by the way excuse me
01:00214 what do you
01:02think Aaron Judge hit Mr. Mr. everything Mr. a lot of people saying he's an alien Mr. he's an alien
01:10he hit 222 struck out three times last night okay and the one thing that I take out of this
01:18is that
01:18Bryce Harper was going to break out of a slump no matter what whether it happened last night whether
01:23it happened tomorrow in a spring training game or over the weekend or how about Thursday would be a
01:29perfect day next Thursday would be absolutely a perfect day to just break out the new Bryce Harper
01:35the elite Bryce Harper and you know what you're a baby because you're the one that that thought oh maybe
01:42this is it maybe he's not going to get his time back maybe he's just not going to be Bryce
01:46Harper
01:47and that's why you had to go on to Twitter last night people had to text me last night yeah
01:53because
01:53they didn't think he was going to get there listen to these numbers now like when we talk about Bryce
01:59Harper as being the showman and being clutch Paul Hembo from ESPN put this out earlier today
02:06in Bryce Harper's career he has played in 12 games that were either series clinching games
02:13or tournament clinching games in this scenario in those 12 games Bryce Harper is slashing 326
02:22444 744 and an OPS of 1.188 with five home runs in those 12 games and three of them
02:34coming in the
02:36eighth inning like he had last night listen whether or not he's still elite that's still yet to be
02:43determined but man is this guy clutch
02:45you
