Bryce Harper, catcher and Scott Boras advisee

they were doing the wave, actually

fuckin californians amirite

Bryce's dad is scary.

hbp, goes 1st to 3rd on a hit to lf, scores on a pickoff attempt to 1st

technically he stole home

on espn

kid knows how to market himself

soon we will all have that haircut

After his suspension, would love to see Hamels suffer a career-ending injury:

Maybe one of Hamels' future opponents will "continue the old baseball" with a spikes-high slide into home on a passed ball or wild pitch.

If you're going to be honest, why not just come out and say "I hit him because I think he's a prick"? "I hit him because the umpires aren't calling the game unfairly for him" makes so little sense

man, Bryce Harper's dad is going to kick Cole Hamels' ass

Harper brushed off Hamels' comments on the purpose pitch.

"Hamels threw a great game tonight," he said.

pretty mature response tbh

This might be a close second in dumbassedness to Hamel's postseason "can't wait for it to end" comment

bryce harper is a lil punk http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9627011/photos/userArmsCrossed.gif

WHAT DID YOU SAY DAYO

my dad can beat up your dad

holy shit, I love this family

wait, he wears stirrups? that's pretty awesome

if I were a baseball player I would totally wear stirrups

Cole Hamels is a tall preppy punk c**t

really hoping that Harper, despite the magic underwear and teenage antics, turns out to be a decent dude (which seems like it might be true thus far)
he's a generational talent, it would be nice to want to root or him

yeah most of the stories about him being a dick are ones where people needlessly provoke him, it's like he's a once-in-a-generation talent who's cruising to the majors and he's only a freakin teenager, what do you expect

zzzzzzz

already fucking up this villian routine eh

villain

there's no WWE in MLB

Harper brushed off Hamels' comments on the purpose pitch.

"Hamels threw a great game tonight," "I guarantee that the next pitch that Hamels throws to me near the strikezone will be a homerun. In fact, I'm willing to bet my 2012 salary on that", he said.

There we go

In that situation, I don't think I could have resisted taunting Hamels after stealing home.

he might've not have been convinced at the time that hamels hit him on purpose

maybe the Nats have a good prospect diplomacy teacher.

that steal of home was amazing though

a 19 year old kid has the balls to do that?

that answer was straight out of the lebron school of diplomacy

eh everyone sounds like that these days, they're all coached to say bloodless bullshit like that

it would be more entertaining for the public if a 19-year old was already involved in a headline beef within a week of being called up, but probably not a good idea in terms of him actually being able to concentrate on baseball.

stretching out his eighth or ninth inning bloop into a double had shades of charlie hustle

would pete rose intentionally knock off his helmet, y/n?

well neither have/had grownuop haircuts; thing is, Pete still had his at 50

why is cole hamels trying to make me like bryce harper

still really hard for me to root for someone named bryce

aaaand Hamels suspended for five.

this guy doesn't know what the Gatorade machine is for

The only downside was an ill-advised swing by their frustrated 19-year-old outfielder. Bryce Harper had a rough night, going 0 for 5 with three strikeouts. After one of the outs, he returned to the dugout and took a frustrated whack at one of the walls in the tunnel to the clubhouse.

Johnson said the barrel of the bat bounced off the wall and hit Harper next to the left eye, causing a gash that, according to the Washington Times, required 10 stitches to close and a welt. He stayed in the game with it bandaged, but was sent for treatment afterward because it was bleeding.

lol, hope this guy stays in the majors forever

Mark DeRosa’s progress returning from a strained left oblique muscle was stunted in an odd way, [manager Davey] Johnson said. As Bryce Harper came into the dugout Sunday night after he stole home against the Phillies, DeRosa aggravated his oblique when Harper gave him a forceful high-five.

"I don’t know if that set back the rehab or not," Johnson said. "But I said, ‘Why didn’t use your right hand?’ He said it was spur of the moment."

Hopefully Bryce Harper's bat doesn't admit that it hit him on purpose and get suspended that would be unfortunate

tater #1 off Tim Stauffer

#2

eyeblack is in effect

Hamels took 5 extra pitches to put him on first tonight

I knew Mel Ott would figure prominently in that story.

but Oyster Burns and Buttercup Dickerson!

Lindbergh has a premium article at BP about how Harper is seeing fewer fastballs than ANY hitter in the majors, and has learned to hit curveballs in 6 weeks.
