It's a long road to get here,”There's a lot that happens in the months to get here from Spring Training. It means that we persevered and we stayed together, and we made the necessary trades when we had to try to strengthen certain parts of our team. These guys are a very close-knit bunch of guys.”

Following Houston advancing to World Series Alex Bregman who singled to right center scoring Jose Pena had this to say!

I think we were just trying to put together good-at bats,”They’ve got a pretty good pitching staff and I think the guys did a really good job of putting some good swings on balls after that. It’s a great team win.”

Not my best day to ever pitch, but I had to grind, I had to battle,” he said. “These are the games you measure yourself. The games where everyone’s swinging and missing and you’re rolling, those are the easy ones. When you’ve got to really dig down and battle against a team doing everything they can not to get swept, you find out you’ve got a little bit of grit in there. I’m glad I was able to keep it close enough and our offense did a heck of a job.”

Following Philadelphia advancing to World Series Bryce Harper who homered had this to say!

We all think in our backyard it’s the World Series, right?”“I think the opportunity is huge, but you’re grateful for that opportunity. I think if you go in with gratitude in the at-bat, it doesn’t matter what happens.”

Following Philadelphia advancing to the World Series Zack Wheeler had this to say about his teammate Bryce Harper!

We’ve always called him ‘The Showman,’”Every time he comes up in a big spot, he gets a knock or something like that. He’s a showman. That’s the reason why you sign him, the city loves him. I mean, you can’t say enough about the guy. He just has the ‘thing’ in him. He has that in him where he steps up in big moments. He’s always been a dude.”
