Harper has been hitting well lately, but in order to keep that going, his duties at first base are being curtailed in order to avoid his back flaring up again.
Some fans hypothesized whether or not it would replace last year’s song, “Dancing On My Own - Tiesto Remix,” by Calum Scott. But Stubbs assured everyone that there is no replacing the 2022 playoff anthem.
“I just randomly added it,” he said. “I like the song. It’s not for anybody or anything. It’s just a good a— song. ‘Dancing On My Own’ is ‘Dancing On My Own.’ There’s no replacing it. But ‘Believe’ is a great song and it can just as well be a complement to Dancing On My Own.”Bryce Harper was penciled into the DH spot before Tuesday’s game because of back tightness. Harper played first base on Aug. 20 and Aug. 18 after taking some time off from the position due to back soreness.
Thomson added: “When you’re bending over pre-pitch, 150 or 160 times a game, and then having to move, it’s just wear and tear on it that he’s not used to.” Harper getting to a place where he can play first base every day would benefit the Phillies long-term. It would free up the designated hitter spot for Kyle Schwarber, who is one of the worst outfielders in baseball this season, statistically. But given Harper’s history of back issues, the Phillies are trying to be cautious with him.
