24 minutes in the past

Trea Turner is likely one of the quickest males in baseball. He’s within the 99th percentile for dash pace. He’s stolen 21 bases, tied for fourth within the National League. But none of that, evidently, was fairly sufficient for teammate Bryce Harper on today.

After lacing a one-out double into the right-field nook within the sixth inning on Sunday, Harper watched Turner motoring across the bases, smelling an RBI alternative. The speedy Turner stopped at third, although, and Harper wasn’t going to let him overlook it. He jokingly gestured along with his palms up at Turner like, hey man, you could not rating on that?

Then Harper flashed a 3 and a 0 at Turner and feigned a gradual limp, reminding Turner of the model new decade he entered when he celebrated his birthday on June 30. Surely Turner is simply as spry as he was just a few weeks in the past as a sprightly 29-year-old, however Harper — who’s 257 days his new teammate’s senior — wanted to search out some justification for dropping out on that treasured RBI. Just a few 30-year-olds — one newly minted, the opposite on the point of 31 — coming to phrases with the methodic drumbeat of time marching on.

Turner promptly proceeded to attain on a J.T. Realmuto double within the subsequent at-bat, and he helped protect a tie recreation within the high of the eleventh with a slick diving catch that set the stage for the Phillies’ walk-off win within the twelfth. So possibly there’s nonetheless just a little youth left in these legs in any case, and hopefully Harper got here away satisfied.
