Bryce Harper Organized Players-Only Meeting After Phillies' Collapse vs. Mets

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper organized a players-only meeting following Thursday's meltdown in an 8-7 loss to the New York Mets.

Third baseman Alec Bohm said Harper's message was that the defeat "doesn't define us."

"Obviously, nobody wants that to happen," Bohm said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer's Alex Coffey. "This sucks right now, but we can’t let it affect tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day. We play 162 games. If we waste a couple of games because we’re feeling bad about how Thursday went, that’s not a good recipe for success.
