Bryce Harper charges mound

Recommended Posts

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has some history with San Francisco Giants reliever Hunter Strickland. It all stems from the 2014 National League Division Series, when Harper went 2-for-2, with two massive home runs against Strickland.

In his first opportunity at retribution, Strickland decided to exact some revenge. With the Nationals up 2-0 in the top of the eighth inning during Mondays game, Harper stepped in to face Strickland for their third meeting. On the first pitch of the at-bat, Strickland drilled Harper in the hip with a fastball.

 

Harper didnt take too kindly to being hit. He pointed his bat at Strickland, exchanged words with the reliever and then went absolutely nuts.

 

 

 

My question, did Bryce act like an idiot after he hit the home runs? Or is this pitcher just a bit sensitive?

Harper stood still watching for about 3 seconds before flipping the bat and starting his jog when he homered off of him in the playoffs a few years ago. He's been around the game long enough. He knew he was going to get hit.

Maybe his hip will be sore enough that he'll learn to stop trying to show up the pitcher.

The pitcher definitely won this round. Got a few nice shots in there.

Yeah. Harper basically only landed a slap.

 

And he should be charged with an error for that helmet throw.

The best hit in that "brawl" was whichever of Samardzija's teammates ran into him face-first.

He purposefully threw the helmet away - like a distraction. I think, at that spit second, Harper knew throwing a helmet couod have led to more serious issues.

Exactly and he "threw" it to second base. Nowhere near the pitcher.

I do appreciate the fact that he waited 3 years. I want to see a rookie pitcher get tuned up for a couple home runs and then wait until his last start to ding the guy....like 11 years later. Hold that grudge

He's going to have to get a shave and a haircut before he becomes a NY Yankee.

He tried throwing it at Strickland but it slipped out of his grip. It was a good strategy. If he didn't do something to distract him, Strickland would have broke his face in two.

Bryce watched a mammoth Home Run in the Playoffs for 2-3 seconds. And That's bad.

But a Pitcher can throw a rock hard object 95 mph and hit someone. And that's baseball?

 

Baseball needs to get the fock over it.

 

2-3 seconds. Geezus Krist !!!

it's not okay. Not at the pictures just doing it to be a douche. In retaliation for a guy showing him up? Absolutely. I'm glad he hit him. Harper is a head anyway

Strickland got a couple of great punches in on Harper.

 

The judges score it 3-0, 2-1, 3-0 in favor of Strickland.

 

I also like how they teleprompter showed exactly where the ball hit Harper in the hip. They need more of that in Hockey.

So the pitcher misses what? A max of six innings?

 

Harper meanwhile misses four games?

 

The Nancy boy pitcher should get triple the suspension just to try and equate the punishments.
