You get that up to just .265 and law of averages puts you at least 4-5 more games won over the course of a 162-game season

Bryce only had 120+/- opportunities the ENTIRE SEASON with runners in scoring position; to put that in perspective Bryan Reynolds on the freaking Pirates had 190+

If Bryce had even close to that same amount, and you put that to law of averages again, he’d easily be over 100+ RBI, running away with the MVP, and you’d just happen upon another 4-5 more wins (most likely more) because of Bryce alone

(These are just a smattering of what-could-easily-have-been examples)

Soooo many missed opportunities this year. Their position right now is ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT. I hope they lose out the rest of the way and embarrass themselves further.

Some good info here!

I'd like to see how many of Bryce's at bats lead off an inning. I swear he's almost always up first in 4th, 6th and 9th innings.

Oh Nola. What happened to you??

rcgdodge · 09-29-2021, 07:26 PM

I fear the weight of a 27-man club on the shoulders is becoming too much to bear

As long as he finishes with an average over 300 I’ll be happy.

I did actually enjoy watching the Phillies play meaningful games. Been years. Hopefully they make some changes over the offseason and try to build an actual contender for next year.

Bryce should still win MVP unless something crazy happens.

Tough series for Bryce

Awful series so far Bryce. Soto 1-4 yesterday and 1-4 today. Tatis 0-4 yesterday and not even playing today.

I don't think it hurts him too much in MVP but i still wanna see him round out his numbers while keeping his avg as high as possible.

SupermanBrandon · 09-29-2021, 09:30 PM

Season on the line & MVP (possibly on the line) and he's choking!!!

Almost like it's proving his true value to the Phils.

They go as he goes.

rcgdodge · 09-30-2021, 06:37 PM

Game over. Lol

Bryce needs one hit in his next 15 at bats to stay over 300. Can he do it?!

Just an awful series for Harper. I guess he'll have to hang his hat on leading the NL in extra base hits and keeping the Phils in contention until the last week of the season.

All 3 players will have a solid chance at garnering the MVP. Soto probably moves up to even with Bryce or a slight favorite soon.

zbaseball21 · 10-01-2021, 07:01 PM

RBI Double (41) and about 2 feet too low for a homer. NL Leading 76th extra base hit.

Rolled his ankle pretty good around second base. Staying in though.

LCM1223 · 10-01-2021, 07:43 PM

The rare solo HR

Never saw that before

zbaseball21 · 10-01-2021, 07:44 PM

35!!!! 100 runs scored! 77 Extra Base Hits!

zbaseball21 · 10-01-2021, 07:47 PM

https://twitter.com/Phillies/status/1444101146709213189 <- #35 Oppo Power after rolling his ankle 2 innings earlier on his double!

kyle1707 · 10-01-2021, 07:53 PM

Reading that insane NL MVP thread

And some of this. Serious freaking topic on these boards

What more could he do the last 3 months

Has been the best player in the game with Vlad ohtani Tatis and Soto

Top 3-5 player. Incredible fun

I’m sorry the Phillies suck. I hope owner GM go after some pieces In 2022

He got hot. They got close. He went ice cold when it mattered. Now they're mathematically eliminated - hot again.

All the more indicative of his value to the team. When he goes they go. When he’s off they’re off. It’s so clearly evident

The Bryce haters are out in droves there i had to stop posting in that thread.

I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea, but the amount of hate he gets is unreal.
