## Resource

Bryce Harper’s batting third for the Phillies may seem ideal, but it’s costing them: he’s been up with no one on base more than any player in MLB, 59 times in 42 games. The team’s lineup tweaks and Trea Turner’s struggles have only deepened this trend, leaving Harper in low-scoring situations far too often. To unlock their offense, Philly needs to rethink how they position their superstar — ideally, getting him to the plate with runners in scoring position and fewer outs. This isn’t just stats — it’s a strategic opportunity they’re failing to seize. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
