Daily News | Bryce Harper returns, but the Phillies’ bats go quiet in a 13-1 drubbing by the Dodgers
in which the Phillies resorted to putting infielder Kody Clemens on the mound — be a reminder that the degree of difficulty remains higher than the hills that frame this picturesque ballpark.
No offense to the minor leaguers that Harper has been facing in the ramp-up to this moment. They don’t throw anything that resembles that pitch. When Harper stepped to the plate in the first inning, Boras shifted to the edge of his front-row seat behind home plate, two sections over from Harper’s family.There was a symmetry to this. Eleven years ago almost to the day, on April 28, 2012, Harper made his major league debut at Dodger Stadium. Boras was there for that, too.
“At any point that I come back during the season, it’s going to be an adjustment for me,” Harper said, sitting at his locker after a pregame workout. “I don’t have a spring training. I’m not going to see any pitching. I’ll see guys at the stadium, and I’m going to come back when I do. I feel like I’m just going to try to be as normal as possible.”Strahm scuffles
“Strahmy hasn’t really started in the last couple years,” Thomson said. “So, I think we’re putting him at risk physically to keep running him out there and running up his pitch count.”Matt Strahm has been the Phillies’ best starter, but he could help the bullpen once Ranger Suárez returns
