MILWAUKEE — Harrison Bader plays with his very long hair on fire, and the Phillies are noticing it. “Energy” and “excitement” are some of the words you’ll hear tossed around from players and coaches asked what Bader has brought to the clubhouse since the trade deadline.
It’s why the word Bader used after Monday’s thrilling win in Milwaukee, when asked what’s helped him hit the ground running with his new team, felt almost paradoxical.
“Just relaxing,” Bader said, “and just letting your game speak for itself to try to help the team win.”
His game is talking loudly.
