Bryce Harper went five for seven with two doubles in Colorado last night, although that was not enough for the Phillies to beat the Rockies as the final was 4-3 Colorado in 12 innings. Harper now owns a .400/.495/.635 slash line at Coors Field.

Maybe instead of signing Daniel Murphy, the Rockies should have broken the bank and signed Harper to go along with Nolan Arenado. It’s possible that Harper didn’t want to play there, as he mentioned an affinity for the east coast helping to move him toward the Phillies. With Harper’s ability to hit the ball hard, the big outfield, and straighter pitches coming at him due to the lack of air resistance, he might have put up really amazing numbers.
