Harper Needs To Grow Up

[calsnowskier]

This is a bad image for him, granted. But I dont get the talk about a suspension. The game was over when he went back on the field.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

His little tantrum tonight, proves he doesn't exactly get, the "TEAM thing". He was ejected, and then came back on the field, after the walk off HR ,and was still yelling at the umpire. He wants to promote "BASEBALL"..try a little class.

Mr. Harper......meet Mr. FINE or Mr. Suspension.

Agreed. He's an AMAZING talent, and I consider myself a fan, but this sucked. Coming back on the field sucked, jawing at the Ump when he did sucked sweaty balls.

He's got to reign this shit in.

He can act like a douchebag day or night, Nationals are never making the WS

Being a Mariners fan, I defer to your expertise of what a team that will never make the WS looks like.

Biggest pee-leaking fanbase in sports.

WS is a foreign word to me.

I agree, guy's a heck of a player but he got to get that temper under control.

1 game i wonder when his next day of rest is

Bryce Harper - OF - Nationals
Bryce Harper has been suspended one game after he returned to the field following his ejection on Monday.

Harper was booted from Monday's game against the Tigers after arguing a called third strike on Danny Espinosa from the dugout. That will happen sometimes. Had the matter ended there, he probably wouldn't have been suspended. The slugger returned to the field and was caught yelling profanities at home plate umpire Brian Knight after Clint Robinson hit a walk-off home run, though, which led to the suspension. Players are not allowed to come back onto the field after an ejection. Harper is appealing and will play until that appeal is heard.

While Harper is a bit of a loose cannon I like him. Real issue to me are the umps being hardasses and baiting players to jaw at them so they can ring them up. Tough job but imo the umps are looking for trouble more times than not.

He got tossed from the dugout. Arguing balls and strikes, for another batter.

Dudes a fuckstick.

 

[broncosmitty]

Part of me thinks this is part of his long term plan to be the biggest superstar, household name in baseball. He wants to have significant distance between him and the next best player. He knows he looks like a fool but headlines, regardless of good or bad, are still headlines. He wants to be in the news everyday. He wants everyone to talk about him.

Barry Bonds should prolly sit down and have a chat with him.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Eh, still better than last season when David Ortiz had a pitch down the middle called a strike on him to make it a full count, then on the next pitch he gets a single, but gets ejected because he's still bitching about the strike 2 call(which was a strike BTW). I'll never understand the appeal of Big Papi,or understand how he gets a pass when it comes to admitted PED users.

This was an epic moment...nobody said word one about the f bomb.
Papi is bigger than life and his failings get overlooked, like DiMaggio or Ripken.

Emotional people have emotional outbursts. Big heart and big temper.

 

[podsox]

Eh, I prefer my team's hero to knock up Hooters waitresses and have dead Mexicans found on their ranch.

If the media wouldn't make such a fuss over it, it wouldn't be a big deal but they demand that this is a huge deal when it really isn't.

Eh, David Ortiz is a douche nozzle.

That fat fuck should be bitching out a Stairmaster, not an ump.

 

[skinzfan]

How long does a player who has been ejected have to wait after a game ends to go back on the field?

Same thing happens to Puig.

Dodgers Digest / Yasiel Puig is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t

 

[TheStarOne]

Harper just got a one game suspension and a fine

Harper just got a one game suspension and a fine

And he is appealing it.
