Philadelphia Phillies Troll Arcia After Crushing Braves in NLDS
The Philadelphia Phillies will be playing in the National League Championship Series for the second consecutive season.
Just like last year, they eliminated their divisional rival Atlanta Braves in the NLDS round three games to one, closing out both series inside Citizens Bank Park.
Beyond the highly anticipated matchup between the 104-win Braves and the 90-win Phillies, there was more fuel added to fire after Atlanta shortstop Orlando Arcia was caught mocking Bryce Harper after Game 2.
The Braves had a come from behind victory that was ended on a baserunner error by Harper.
Arcia was now infamously caught saying "Atta boy Harper" in the clubhouse after the game.
It's safe the say that got back to the Philadelphia players and they used this as motivation heading back home for Games 3 and 4.
After clinching the series and advancing to the NLCS, the Phillies were celebrating in the locker room and had some fun at the expense of Arcia.
Rookie pitcher Orion Kerkering was spotted wearing a powder blue shirt that read "Atta Boy Harper" on the front and "He Wasn't Supposed To Hear It" on the back.
It's a fantastic troll job by Philadelphia, who waited until after the series to respond to those comments.
This also comes on the heels of Harper staring down Arcia when rounding the bases after hitting both of his home runs in Game 3.
The Phillies ultimately got the last laugh in this saga as they are advancing in the MLB Playoffs and Atlanta will be watching from home.
The superstar finished the series going 6-13, with three home runs and five RBI.
Arcia went 2-13 with one singular RBI.
Atta boy Harper.
