That was like 7 years ago. Last year his effort was herculean. Single handedly kept them in the race for months on end, reigning mvp. And since he joined the team he’s had zero character issues.
Papelbon was a douche for sure but I’ve never had anyone I’ve ever met defend Harper so I don’t know what to say. I grew up with (I’m much younger) Roy Halladay and he would have murdered Bryce prior to his “redemption”. “Hey Roy, I’m trying now” would have never been a thing.
Did he have problems hustling at some point in Washington that Im not aware of? He’s often criticized for being overly aggressive on the basepaths to a fault, and he’ll also run into a wall for you.
I’m probably too critical I just have never liked the dude and never will. I’m also particularly mad at the Phils right now for dumping Girardi but I get that too. The Rockies sit on bad players/managers for years and years so I’m grumpy.
He's one of the top 5 players in the game, my first thought with the Phillies is Harper deserves better...he signed for 13 years in fucking Philly.
Fuck him, he completely gave up on the Nats for the last year and a half so he could get his big contract. Then they won it all as soon as he left. Good.
Yeah I wouldn’t say Harper is the problem, it seems be the same problem it’s been for years with the Phillies - either the relief pitchers blow it or the bats go cold. Sucks how they’ve been this year, that home opener had a crowd energy not seen in years. Now they’re becoming the Flyers of Baseball.
If your farm system is nonexistent, you cant just patch together a few big signings to solve the problem. The reason the Braves are so good is there’s always a minor leaguer ready to step up. They won a World Series without Acuna.
That’s very true, the Braves seemed to have figured out the farm system because it’s been solid since back to the 90s I think.
They also got hot at the right time which is paramount in baseball playoffs. The Braves really are an impressive operation though
If any of their executives read that last sentence they may kill themselves
yeah, for like his last 2 years here. He was so worried about getting big contract that he just lightly jogged around the field.
They won the fawkin World Series as soon as he left haha holee shiiit
Everyone acted like they liked him but we always knew he was a shithead.
Fun fact I tried out with the Braves and now I’m posting on a forum dedicated for a dead radio show lol
I want to know how they signed Acuña for like $100M. I hope he fired that retard agent.
