He destroyed that ballFWIW, the ESPN stat tracker measured the Phillies Home Runs as follows:
Franco in the 4th inning -- 401 feet
Realmuto in the 5th -- 434 feet
Harper in the 7th -- 465 feet
Don't know exactly how they calculate that, but Harper certainly got every bit of his blast

Boy, you guys are really going off the rails....and the national media can go F themselves.
Boy, you guys are really going off the rails.
New Yorkers are the biggest navel-gazing shitheads on earth. Give me a break. As if 90% of the players they’ve gotten in free agency haven’t gone there because of money.
Eh, not really. Philadelphia fans being happy is a bigger trigger to some opposing fans here than sugar water is to bees. They can’t let us be happyBoy, you guys are really going off the rails.
Did you catch Odubel's BA with bases loaded?Braves pitcher can’t find the plate. Walks the bases loaded and Odubel hacks away. Effing infuriating
Dude threw about 30 pitches and 2 of them actually crossed the plate. Can’t let that happen without scoring
I'm a Braves fan and not trying to start trouble but tell me he isn't a spitting image of James Harrison with dreads.Did you catch Odubel's BA with bases loaded?
It was .160-something if I recall. Very telling about his lack of plate discipline.
And he actually catches the ball!!!!!JT with 2 gun downs tonight. Huge weapon
And he actually catches the ball!!!!!
Hoskins and Harper are going to feast this year off each other in the lineup. Harper (assuming he stays healthy) is going to put up monster numbers in the Phils hitter friendly park. Cutch and Frankel also I believe should have great years with all the focus on Hoskins and Harper. This team just bludgeons whatever pitcher is out there. Not a weak bat in the lineup. Scary for opposing pitchers. JT just has a gun behind home plate throwing out base stealers. Love the bow Harper does to the crowd in RF after hitting HR's. I think he is going to love it here once the weather warms up his numbers will be scary. His 1st last night I believe if its May or later is also a HR. Phils attendance numbers are going to be crazy good this year.

The last part is why I scoffed at people decrying the Phils paying “too much” for Harper. If a good product is put on the field Philly fans will come out in droves. Last time they were really good they sold out every home game for nearly three years. Beteeen ticket sales, jerseys, extra parking and concession money the contract nearly pays for itself. And it gives the Phils the ability to pull in better players who want to play for a winner in a town crazy for sports. The level of enthusiasm for sports in Philly is second to none.
Well, there's the guy occupying center field who didn't notice the pitcher walked the bases loaded last night, and proceeded to swing at the first pitch in the dirt, and then struck out on a similar pitch. I hope Kapler has him on a short leash. Getting rid of him would be addition by subtraction.
The same center fielder who had the a great at bat that resulted in the game winning hit on opening day?Well, there's the guy occupying center field who didn't notice the pitcher walked the bases loaded last night, and proceeded to swing at the first pitch in the dirt, and then struck out on a similar pitch.

That was a cross up and probably JA's fault.Although he did have a passed ball that allowed a run tonight
You're really defending this clown? SMH.The same center fielder who had the a great at bat that resulted in the game winning hit on opening day?
Not defending as much as pointing out the fact that his production every season has ranged somewhere between a solid MLB starter and borderline all-star. I think almost all of the criticism Odubel gets is based almost exclusively on a subjective distaste for the “way he plays the game” or something similar. He’s not my favorite player, but the numbers say that he brings far more positives than negatives.You're really defending this clown? SMH.
