The Phightins keep on giving!🔥🔥
“This year, our mindset coming in has been a little bit crisper and with a little bit more of an edge than we’ve had in the past. It’s easy to get lackadaisical or complacent when you’re playing these teams. Especially lately, we’ve done a great job of coming out against these teams and getting the lead early and really setting the tone to the game.
Realmuto has an extra-base hit and/or an RBI in eight straight games and the opportunities should persist with Bryce Harper back hitting in front of him. Harper, in his second game since returning from a broken left thumb, singled in the first inning just as he did Friday. It loaded the bases for Realmuto. Harper was later intentionally walked twice.
There are a lot of really bad teams across baseball this season, and since being swept out of the All-Star break by the Cubs, the Phillies are 18-2 against clubs with losing records. Remember when Kyle Schwarber was carrying the Phillies' offense from June 1 through mid-July? Schwarber has one home run over the last three weeks and the Phils have gone 14-7. They're facing inferior pitching and shoddy defenses but they're finding ways to score even when their home run hitters aren't going deep.
