It’s amazing to see how weapons are used in baseball, and how they get neutralized.<\/p>\n
First off, I have to give all the credit in the world to Bryce Harper. He almost won Sunday night’s game all by himself. Harper was three for his first three, with hit number one being a two run homer. After Adrian Gonzalez hit a jarring grand slam to give the Mets a 4-2 lead, Harper singled twice. And although they were inconsequential singles, it raised his average to .357 and changed the whole game. At 5-4 Mets in the seventh, Robert Gsellman walked Harper on four pitches. Imagine being so good, pitchers think nothing of walking you on four pitches when you’re the potential tying run late in a division rivalry game.<\/p>\n
