This couldn’t have happened at a better moment. The Orioles radio crew mid-attack on Bryce’s swing mechanics eats his words:

Orioles radio: “It’s that same recognizable violent uppercut swing by Bryce Harper. But it’s not the same quality of contact…he’s just not barreling up balls.”

Poetry.

Now is the O’s announcer wrong? Not necessarily. Harper’s slugging numbers are down, but the dude is coming off Tommy John that has zapped all his power. Give him a break.

Some are saying this is the only ball Bryce Harper will give to fans lately.

P.S. Orioles announcers have had more of an up and down series than the top of the Phillies order:

"Westy's still looking for his first home run, speaking of home runs. It's just a matter of time."
