Bader himself later spoke to reporters (including Tim Kelly of On Pattison) and revealed that he would be undergoing imaging to determine the extent of his injury. While the situation might seem concerning, Bader is considered day-to-day for the time being and expressed confidence that he'll return to the Phillies' lineup during this series. He noted that he'll rest during tomorrow's day off and "go from there," adding that playing in the postseason is the time where you "empty the tank," suggesting a willingness to try and play through an injury that might otherwise sit him down at another point in the season.

What a spectacular top of the first inning in Philadelphia Thursday night! And what a moving eight innings of respectful silence in the top halves of each frame that followed. That was pretty much that where the current Mets were concerned in their sixth consecutive loss. Thus, let us turn our attention to Mets of yore. As Saturday at Citi Field will feature the Alumni Classic (a mini-Old Timers Day), it seems a fine time to issue our wholly arbitrary Mets Alumni Power Rankings.

Star centerfielder Harrison Bader came up to bat in the fourth and sent a long shot into the leftfield stands to put the Phils up 5 to 1, and the cameras caught a few seconds of a woman berating a man into giving up the souvenir as he clutched his son. But when more footage of the scramble emerged, a villain narrative built around the woman.
