Hit by a pitch 3 times in the last two games. BS has to end. Only way to end it, is retaliate.
I hate the retaliation game, but I don't see what other option they have now. It would be one thing if these pitches were just grazing him inside, but they're hitting him on the back shoulder. The key now is to be the first person to hit the other team in tonight's game; then they'll give the warnings and the retaliater gets ejected. The umpires are too stupid to throw the initial guy out nowadays.
Glad to see Strasburg isn't nutless like out pitchers last week when Harper was hit. I agree throw at their hitter and today I wouldn't be aiming for their asses, I'd throw at their ears. If you want to play games then play games back. Crack one in the batting helmet and this BS will end.
I happen to agree. But Espinosa can't hit the ground if he falls down. Glad you're back. But just play.....don't try to be the manager.Bryce Harper returned to the Washington Nationals' lineup Monday night, but he didn't agree with how manager Matt Williams filled it out.
Reinstated from the 15-day disabled list after missing the previous 59 games because of a torn ligament in his left thumb, Harper openly questioned Williams' decisions hours before the team's 7-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Washington.
The manager's lineup included Ryan Zimmerman at third base, Anthony Rendon at second base, Harper in left field and second baseman Danny Espinosa on the bench.
"I think [Zimmerman] should be playing left. Rendon's a good third baseman. He should be playing third. We've got one of the best second basemen in the league in Danny Espinosa," Harper told reporters. "Of course, we want the best-hitting lineup in there. [But] I think Rendon playing third and Zim playing left is something that would be good for this team. I think that should be what's happening."
Harper, 21, previously has said he "loves" playing center field and hoped to be there when he came off the DL. So playing in left in his first game back could have caused some of the apparent dissatisfaction.
