The Question of the Day- What Did Bryce Harper Say to Alec Bohm?
Every day on “The Best Show Ever?” we ask the Question of the Day. And today that question was “What did Bryce Harper say to Alec Bohm last night?”
Game 3 was incredible. 5 home runs for 7 runs. The Astros got shut out. And the Phillies won to improve to 2-1 in the series. But one of the best moments came in the first inning. After walking Kyle Schwarber to lead off the inning, Lance McCullers got both Rhys Hoskins and JT Realmuto out. But then Bryce Harper stepped to the plate. And as John Smoltz said, he was waiting on an off-speed pitch and got one on the first pitch of the at-bat. But the best part may have come after the HR. While Nick Castellanos was at the plate, the cameras caught Bryce Harper trying to call Alec Bohm over.
We do not know what Harper said to Bohm. And Bohm would not disclose what it was during or after the game. But whatever it was, worked. Bohm led off the next inning. And on the very first pitch, he swung at a changeup and sent it into the seats. And then the Phillies proceeded to hit 3 more. Brandon Marsh hit one later that inning. And then a few innings later Kyle Schwarber hit a mammoth bomb to center field, followed by Hoskins 6th HR of the postseason.
Was he letting Bohm know that McCullers was tipping pitches? Or was he saying to wait on an off-speed pitch the way he did? We may never know. But we can speculate wildly. So we asked you all what you thought Harper may have said.
Here are some of the best answers we got from you on Twitter…
The kid was tipping his stuff but my question is that the Astros had to know it was happening- why was it not corrected?

Just swing at the first pitch so the world doesn't have to listen to Smoltz pontificate about string theory, absolute zero or any other scientific drivel.
