Phillies’ Bryce Harper Sends Social Media Message On Rob Thomson ‘Accountability

The Philadelphia Phillies entered the season with the same core of clubhouse leaders after Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto both signed new contracts to return.

But following two straight disappointments in the playoffs, the pressure on the team to make a deeper run has grown. And the pressure on one player in particular is getting stronger as well, with franchise slugger Bryce Harper looking to prove he can retain his elite status after being publicly questioned by executive Dave Dombrowski.

So far, Harper appears within reach of his best form. Going into Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs, he was slashing .276/.382/.517 and ranked within the top-three on the Phillies for hits, runs, home runs and walks.
