Bryce Harper update

[romeo212000]

Nobody earns the right to go off in the dugout because they are not happy with their performance. I still like Bryce Harper, and I don't want to judge him on this because we don't know how he actually got hit himself with the bat. But if he threw the bat at the dugout wall as hard as he could out of frustration then he isn't going to be gaining or earning respect from me.

Oh I don't like it from anybody. I think it shows a lack of professionalism from anyone. But I'm far more accepting of the rare occasion from a seasoned, proven professional than some 19 year old rookie who's two weeks into his rookie season.

Bryce Harper is a young guy. It's no big deal...

However, Werth's accusation of Phillies fans cheering his broken wrist never happened. That a bold-faced, bullshit lie. I spoke to Nats' fans who attended that game.

I wish Strass, Harper, Zimmer, and Zimmer the best, but Mikey "The Tool" Rizzo (and Werth-less) can eat shit.

Huh.. first time I used it. Was trying to cheer you up!

All good~

I'm not making a big deal out of it. Just stating Harper isn't the angel some on here make him out to be. He is a bit of a punk. Hopefully he matures because he's got some impressive talent.

Harper hit his first career HR tonight.

Harper hit his first career HR tonight.

On pace for 10

....closer to 11, actually

i consider homeruns in whole numbers

 

[powerchord86]

Can't complain about 10 HR's in your rookie year if that's where it ends up. Damn good if you ask me.

19 years old and 10 career ML homeruns, I'd take that any day!

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Beggs really is hoping he fails. I am as biased as it comes, as I am a huge nats fan so i hope he surpasses all expectations!

It is what it is!

He sure makes summer in DC exciting, though! I just wish the injuries would stop

 

[fordman84]

I laugh at his immaturity and think he needs to grow up, but I was 19 once as well. Give me his abilities, his money, his fame...I'd probably have been MORE of a punk.

I'm cheering for him though, as long as he stays in the NL

Well, Chapman is a monster as well, ha ha!

 

[ckhokie]

Just bustin balls. I would gladly take BH on the Reds

True. Harper ain't the only one in MLB failing to hit that flame thrower.

Harper hit his first career HR tonight.

Now tied with Albert Pujols for HR's this season.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

15 games, so roughly 1/11th of a season, but let's say 1/10th since he will not play every night most of the time due to injuries, double headers, etc.

560 AB
80 Runs
130 Hits
60 Doubles
40 RBI
60 Walks
100 Ks
10 HR


Now of course this is an absurd projection as this is his FIRST 15 games in his career, but anyway, thoughts.....

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

2 in 2 games now.

So that makes him on pace for 20, right Beggs

Meanwhile Straburg got knocked around but that's ok. It happens to the best.
