This a bad time to point out that he's being outscored 6-1?

Harper's doing an awfully good Barry Bonds impression. The broken bat HR is just the cherry on top.

There is a film of Glenn Braggs in the 1990 W.S. swinging and missing, the bat came around and hit him in the back -- and the bat broke.
I also saw Jay Bruce break a bat swinging and missing.
There isn't anything superhuman about this. The bat hit the ball and broke on recoil. More than anything, it suggests the bat was probably close to flawed.
