Forget the mistake: Cristopher Sánchez's word to Bryce Harper flies for NBC Sports Philadelphia
The short interview from the Game 2 win over Atlanta quickly passed the channel's full postgame show, while the Flyers' record-setting opening loss drew a few thousand views.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 64,368 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (5,750).
Cristopher Sánchez had a message to to Bryce Harper after his mistake and before his homer 😏
Posted only hours after the Phillies kept their season alive, a short clip of Cristopher Sánchez talking about Bryce Harper passed 25,000 views in its first six hours. That puts it on course for roughly eleven times what a new NBC Sports Philadelphia video usually gathers on its first day.
The title tells the story in one line: a message from the left-hander to Harper after a mistake and before a homer. Viewers describe the mistake as a drop, and they keep retelling the moment the same way. Sánchez told his teammate to let it go, because his chance to make up for it would come. Then the home run came.
The comments have small side plots of their own. One viewer notes that Sánchez said "incredible" and the interpreter turned it into "amazing." Another wonders how he communicates with infielders in the middle of a loud, fast play. Several give Sánchez credit for a big night of his own.
The 4-3 win in Game 2 of the Wild Card series came a day after the Game 1 loss to the Braves that, as we reported here, drew a crowd to the channel's postgame show. This time the full Phillies Postgame Live is running well behind the Sánchez clip. The Flyers' night was quieter still. Their 7-0 loss to the Penguins, billed as the worst home opener in franchise history, has drawn only a few thousand views across its postgame videos.
