Daily News | Phillies observations: Bryce Harper’s brace vs. the pitch clock, Trea Turner’s slump, Andrew Painter update, and more
after lining a two-out single to left field and grabbed a cumbersome elbow brace from coach Paco Figueroa.The pitch clock doesn’t wait for anyone, not even a two-time National League MVP who this week capped the fastest recorded return from Tommy John elbow surgery. The» READ MORE:Because although Nick Castellanos used his one timeout before his at-bat, Harper was unable to secure the brace in the allotted time.
A few other off-day observations as the 15-17 Phillies return home for a weekend series against the Red Sox:Phillies’ need for starting pitching could bring Ranger Suárez back sooner than expectedThe Phillies allowed a double-digit run total in each of the three games against the Dodgers — 36 runs, in all — and almost no one was immune. All but two of the 11 pitchers who appeared in the series were charged with at least one run.
The biggest issue is the back of the rotation, specifically Taijuan Walker and Bailey Falter, who have 6.91 and 5.01 ERAs, respectively. The Phillies maintain that Walker isn’t still dealing with the forearm tightness that knocked him from his second-to-last start. But neither the team nor Walker can explain his skyrocketing 13.2% walk rate, either.
But the team also isn’t inclined to accelerate Painter’s throwing progression. Boras is the leading advocate for a deliberate pace. He rattles off a list of pitchers — “Felix Hernandez, [Madison] Bumgarner, Kerry Wood, Fernando Valenzuela, Bret Saberhagen, [Dwight] Gooden” — who had success at a tender age in the majors but were unable to sustain it into their 30s.
