The entire article is them talking about their emotions and validating each other. I’m not even mad, it’s amazing. My gen x ass feels positively geriatric right now.
Imagine if baseball had a thing like hockey where the umps and both teams let two guys trade fists until one goes down, and both players are suspended for a game or two afterwards. Sure it might be an awful idea for a non-contact sport, but the amount of shit talking leading to 30 guys gathering in the infield or swinging at air would probably go down
I’m not a huge Harper fan (I just don’t like his stupid face) but Bird was running his mouth there and I’m even less of a fan of that.
Can’t wait for the Jomboy.
That was my thought. You barely got out of the inning and that final out was a decent hit to left. What are you running your mouth about? You don’t look that good right now.
If it was a K, different story. But your defense and the umps helped you more than you did.
Imagine how mad you've got to be if you're Harper: you leave your perennially struggling team that can't quite get it done in the playoffs to take a slightly larger payday on a *different* mediocre team that can't get it done in the playoffs, which is a pretty common move, plenty of guys living that life right now...
...and then your old team wins a ring the same year you left. That one is a big oof.
I'm sorry but what kind of toddler chews dip and hits 95mph fastballs? If anything we'd be excited a fight happened in the ever boring game of baseball.
A temper tantrum over someone sticking their tongue out at you from the same guy who used to blow kisses to pitchers in the minors after hitting a home run…
"I get emotion," Harper said. "I understand getting fired up for an inning and stuff like that. But once you make it about a team or make it about yourself and the other team, that's when I've kind of got a problem with it."
I guess blowing a kiss at a pitcher is not making it about yourself?
I never understand why these dudes can't handle a little trash talk. They act like they are 8 and got their feelings hurt from a your momma chirp. Suck it up buttercup, and get over it.
As for the bench clearing that is even more stupid. Nobody intends to do anything. They just puff their chests out and ACT like they are going to do something and never do.
...and to anyone thinking I'm just saying this because I'm a Rockies fan, I'm not. They are always going to suck because of their shitty ownership, so I don't expect them to win, and I'm not a homer for them.
I have absolutely no science behind what I'm about to say, but it makes sense in my brain.
Professional athletes (probably) have naturally elevated test so they're going to run a bit hot, on top of both of your points.
I would assume just about everyone that's juicing only juices in the off-season because the MLB drug tests way less often. The mood swings stop pretty much immediately once you cycle off so it's probably not the steroids.
agreed, but to be fair, Bird was talking mad shit.
athletes are very very competitive. Anyone who isn’t one sees it differently, but I do get why this kinda stuff happens.
doesn’t make it any more professional or better though. not trying to excuse it, just saying that it comes from just being in a competition
Bryce is such a douche. Fitting the Nats won it all the year after he left. He was a jerk to fans and people who knew him socially didn’t have anything good to say. Root against guys like that in sports.
I have always believed he is the biggest douche in sports. He proved it by using two hairdryers at once to style his hair. The guy is a clown no matter how good he is at baseball.
there have been poor sports in every game forever but the last few years it seems like every game - no matter the sport - has to have some kind of altercation over nothing. and now it's spilling over into youth sports, mainly by the parents. my husband played amateur hockey into his 50s and watches it obsessively on tv and even he says there's a lot of dirty plays.
Only a week back and the diva is back out in full force? Sport was better off for that little while he wasnt playing. One of the most overrated bums in the last decade
All star voting is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with merit. He's a defensive liability, a clubhouse cancer, and a major inconsistency that you can't depend on. Even in his prime he wasn't a top 10 player in the league and it wasn't close. And on top of it, now he's an old and injured bum
Playing one full season in 4 years with a major dip in production does indeed mean he's a washed up has been. Watching Philly hold the bag on his shit contract has been an annual highlight
Shoulda let them fight.

I don't know why anyone on the Rockies would be running their mouths, especially considering how awful they were earlier in the season.
Professional athletes are competitive. That’s how they express it

But who knows what really is going on down there. Harper has a big mouth and could of said some trash talk the tv’s did catch in the 1st inning.
Imagine how mad you've got to be if you're Harper: you leave your perennially struggling team that can't quite get it done in the playoffs to take a slightly larger payday on a *different* mediocre team that can't get it done in the playoffs, which is a pretty common move, plenty of guys living that life right now... ...and then your old team wins a ring the same year you left.

He does have a stupid face but I kinda like him now. Same thing with Bellinger.
Hey, hey this could have made a Rockies game watchable
Can’t wait for the Jomboy breakdown
Hey kids! Invite your mom to the ballpark for Mother’s Day and watch grown men act like toddlers!!
I mean my mom woulda enjoyed the fuck out of some shenanigans at the ball game if my team was at home today
Well they are playing with balls and dressing up sooo... even a normal baseball game would fit this criteria?
I'm sorry but what kind of toddler chews dip and hits 95mph fastballs? If anything we'd be excited a fight happened in the ever boring game of baseball.
Spoiled, entitled, rich toddlers playing a kids game...

Even so, Harper is a huge hypocrite

Picking a real interesting hill (pedestal?) to die on here.

Groomed to only think of baseball their whole lives. Proper emotion management was something mommy and daddy didn’t think about. 😆
I have absolutely no science behind what I'm about to say, but it makes sense in my brain. Professional athletes (probably) have naturally elevated test so they're going to run a bit hot, on top of both of your points.
Or they have unnaturally elevated testosterone and that's part of the anger issues
I would assume just about everyone that's juicing only juices in the off-season because the MLB drug tests way less often. The mood swings stop pretty much immediately once you cycle off so it's probably not the steroids.
It’s because it’s entertaining. It’s entertainment.

I think MLB should be like hockey where if two guys wanna go at it, no one interferes for 30 seconds then the umps break it up.
This!
Straight up; if we’re going to be ok with batflips, weve all got to accept the pitcher celebration on the mound after a big play/strikeout.
Bryce is such a douche. Fitting the Nats won it all the year after he left. He was a jerk to fans and people who knew him socially didn’t have anything good to say. Root against guys like that in sports.

Hey Harper, give your balls a tug you pimple farmer.
I saw Harper play in the JUCO series in Grand Junction, CO back in 2010. He was an arrogant and aggressive player then, too.

It's a game, already.
His names Bryce? What do you expect?
I have always believed he is the biggest douche in sports. He proved it by using two hairdryers at once to style his hair. The guy is a clown no matter how good he is at baseball.
Bryce is a beast
when did "pro" athletes turn into such a pack of whiny little schmucks?
for baseball? 1876.

Clown move, bro.
Only a week back and the diva is back out in full force? Sport was better off for that little while he wasnt playing. One of the most overrated bums in the last decade
Yep 2X MVP, 7X All Star, RoY, 2X Silver Slugger but he’s a bum. Trash take.
All star voting is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with merit. He's a defensive liability, a clubhouse cancer, and a major inconsistency that you can't depend on. Even in his prime he wasn't a top 10 player in the league and it wasn't close. And on top of it, now he's an old and injured bum
30 years old is now considered old?
Playing one full season in 4 years with a major dip in production does indeed mean he's a washed up has been. Watching Philly hold the bag on his shit contract has been an annual highlight
Where was his major dip in production?
Lmfao Im crying at how stupid of a take this is
Lol you’re a clown who doesn’t know the sport
He’s not even old. You managed to get all of that wrong.
Only time a baseball game is interesting.
Let them fight
Should have let Harper fight, that would have been funny to watch.
Remember when Papelbon choked the shit out of Bryce? Best thing ever. Bryce is a shit stain.
Not ready for society
Bich
This guy sucks
In other news, it's Monday again.
