Bryce Harper update

[Beggs]

Third at bat in 7th.
Foul ball down left field line. Hits a double to the warning track on a 3-2 count. For some reason, he takes his helmet off while running from first to second.
1-3

He was booed whenever he stepped out. If he bats again, i'll update it tomorrow. i'm going to bed.

1/3 against Billingsley, two hard hit balls, and one ground out.

Not bad for a debut out of the blue.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Top of the 9th, 1-1 tie, men at the corners, 1 out, here we go, Bryce.....

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

....and he sacs in a run to take the lead....

Just for you Beggs:

Just for you Beggs:

i just dont understand the reasoning. I can understand if its loose and bouncing around, but it looks pretty snug. Some people are comparing him to manny with attitude and abilities.

I'll give him a few weeks before i make an early judgement about his hitting.

Manny was aloof and apathetic. Harpergets called the exact opposite, cocky and in your face.

What was the point of throwing off the helmet. I'll give him time before I make my judgement, but so far he seems like a guy who hasn't earned the right to be as cocky as he seems to be so far.

manny was a little cocky in his own right. Anyone who refers to themselves in the third person seems cocky to me.

Conversely, who cares that he threw off his helmet. What does that signify? Why are people on him for throwing off a batting helmet. Is that against some code?

I always think it looks dumb when guys knock their helmet off on purpose. I remember seeing Manny do that a few times. It's like they are trying to look all badass and intense as they are running around the bases. I do like Harper though and I am rooting for the kid. Manny can suck it.

I'm not on him for it. Just wondering what was the point... Like I said, I'm going to give him some time before deciding anything. That said, he does seem like a cocky little bastard. There's something to be said about playing the game with respect. We'll see.

2/2 2b, 1b, RBI tonight so far, but he went 0-3 yesterday, looked really good defensively though

Because he's having a :attention: moment for no reason.

Wonder who will hit their first ML HR of the year, Pujols or Harper. I'm actually hoping it is Harper. The kid acts like a punk, but funny to see someone making $200M flop for a rival of my team.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I still don't get the punk thing. He hustles like a mofo, what a punk...
