If you seriously don't believe that Arcia saying that didn't galvanize the fanbase and put an even bigger chip on Harper's shoulder, I have some crazy good beachfront property in South Dakota to show you.

Galvanize the fanbase? Sure, probably contributed a fraction of a dB. Phillies fans and Citizen's Bank are usually so laid back and welcoming.

Had anything to do with Harper crushing two meatballs from Braves' pitchers? Have anything to do with Snit letting Elder pitch to him a second time with 2 on? Absolutely ZERO to do with that. That's all on Snit and the pitchers and Harper being really good. Arcia contributed as much to Harper's HR last night as he did to Harper's HR in Game 1 in my opinion.

...except Harper hit 2 homers last night.

Every swing he had last night was going for the fences, which is why he K'd first AB and flew out to center his last AB. And when he did hit the homers he was staring and throat slashing. There were two true outcomes for him last night, home run or out.

He's always locked in, but last night he picked it up a notch and Arcia played a role in it.
