Bombs, too

I suspect we can confirm the Arrival of Bryce the Beast.

mook & i saw him take a scary swing (flyout) on 3-0 on Sunday.

@MLB_PR
WSH OF Bryce Harper named NL Player of the Week after hitting .455 with 6 HR, 13 RBI, a 1.318 SLG percentage and 29 total bases last week.

solid week

.336/.475/.750

popped it up the other way . . . and then it went out

sure the wind's blowing out but it's a 1-1 game in the 7th

hottest hot streak since 1950?

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-bryce-harper-historic-hot-streak/

pissed that the runner ahead of him on his double didn't score, BH got marooned short of third and just stood still and got tagged out. #controversy

just faced a pitcher younger than him for the first time (jacob lindgren), flew out to left

Harper has a WAR of 5.3 through 65 team games. That projects to 13.2 for a full season, which would be less than Ruth's 14.1 in 1923 (first on the position-player list), but more than Ruth's 12.9 in 1921 (second). Won't happen, but just getting this far into the season at that level is worth making note of.

Good timing on that update.

@Todd_Dybas
My favorite Bryce Harper Looney Tunes stat: When he swings in a 1-0 count, he’s hitting .703 (26-for-37), w/7 HRs, 7 2Bs and a 2.151 OPS.

man imagine if he was putting these numbers up as a catcher

@AndrewSimonMLB
Bryce Harper comes into tonight riding his 1st three-game hitless streak of the year. His OBP over those three games is .538.

meh-meh???

In Game 4 of the 2014 division series against the Giants, he stood on deck in the seventh inning with the (Giants leading 2-1. A fan in the sunken seats about 10 feet away, holding a glass of red wine, berated Harper with an intensity that couldn't be ignored.

"Hey, buddy," Harper said. "How's that glass of wine?"

Harper remembers that the fan sputtered before saying, "You're going to strike out."

"You know I love playing here, don't you, buddy?"

Seconds later, Harper drove a fastball into San Francisco Bay. As he touched home plate and turned for the dugout, Harper fixed his eyes on the fan, holding his stare a step or two longer than necessary.

"He was just devastated about life," Harper says.

doesn't get better than trashing a premium Giants fan, at least in NL

what a potty mouth

that part aint new

"He was just devastated about life," Harper says, "not because of the home run really, but more because he had just kinda realized how empty his existence was. I think his work-home balance was off. His relationship with his kids was bad. His daughter had just graduated from Sarah Lawrence and I think he's worried she's about the direction she's taking with her life and he's not a fan of her current boyfriend either. I got a real sense of just how lonely he was in those seconds when I stared unblinkingly into his eyes. Also I think he was realizing that his glass of Pinor Noir was pretty shitty. I prefer Zins myself."

Bryce Harper is deep.

i knew it was a hoax when you said bryce harper drinks alcohol

get off his dick

http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb-news/4701228-bryce-harper-home-run-walkup-song-jcole-gmod

100

When Harper came up with the bases loaded I said "oh here it comes."

Way early, but up in Bonds-world right now.

.359/.458/.897, 250 OPS+.

4 Ks in 52 PAs

Grand slam tonight.

NL Player of the Month

good choice

(tho not w/out other options)

walked 6x and hit by a pitch today; first modern player to reach 7x in a game w/out an AB. (i think i have that right)

Cubs are no dummies

@beckjason
Michael Fulmer is just the 3rd MLB pitcher younger than Bryce Harper to face him, joining Aaron Nola and Jacob Lindgren.

clown tweet bro

@AlexPutterman
Dusty Baker on Bryce Harper: "I like him as a young man. Now, will I have to spank him sometime? Maybe. I like my son, too."

one-game suspension!
