Harper hit with 4 games, Strickland with 6.  Both are appealing.

 

Hopefully it gets resolved quickly because I have tickets to see the nationals on Tuesday when they play the dodgers

If he's appealing doesn't that usually mean he will get to play until they get back to into NY or the area?   You should be safe.

Strickland is a bitch.

People have decided to hate Harper because he's a douchebag. If he wants to act like tha he should expect people to dislike him.  The hatred is in direct correlation with his actions. Look at Trout. Nobody hates him. If he were to act like a cocky asshat things would be different.

It wasn't just the fact that Harper hit the two HRs. After he stood at home and watched the 2nd one leave the ballpark, he then stared down Strickland as he jogged from 1b to 2b. If that wasn't enough, he continued to yell at Strickland from the dugout. That is the definition of a douchebag.

Seriously, can anyone even imagine Trout doing that? 

That's just one of the reasons why people hate Harper. Some of you sound as if it's completely unwarranted.

I don't have any hate for Harper but it doesn't make him less of a douchebag. I can dislike the guy, how he represents himself on the field and have little respect for him no matter what kind of numbers he puts up. He is a polarizing personality, people can support that kind of player by ignoring his character flaws and that's their business. 

I prefer Trout, even on the DL, over Harper on the Angels.

No disagreement from me about him being a d bag. He most definitely is, even though I still love him as a ballplayer. But I've seen plenty of people blaming Harper for this, which is silly IMO, considering Strickland is the one who brought up a 3 year old grudge by drilling Harper with a fastball. Just my 2 cents.

He hit him the first time he faced him. It's not his fault it took him 3 years.

He followed up with a masterful 0-5 with 3 K's performance. Nice job, Bryce. That'll learn em

They should double their suspensions.  Great job morons.

Who knows how it works but it got bumped down to 3 games, which he'll begin serving tonight

Boom!

Man... can you imagine if Morse didn't collide with Jeff Samardzija?

Samardzija was coming in HOT with a right hook right to Harper's face until he was knocked down by his own teammate.

If you want a solid clothesline, check this one out.  One of the most underrated mound charges in history

Who on here blamed Harper for this? I don't think I've seen 1 post in this thread, or even on this board claiming this.

I, like probably most folks, gave Harper a chance. But I just can't stand behind a guy that acts like this:

I mean, there's plenty more but I think you get the point. I hate Harper because he acts like a freakin' douchebag and when you have a player like Trout who's constantly all smiles whether he hits a home run or gets thrown out on a good play, or has a bad strike call at the plate --because he knows he can get 'em "next time"-- well, it really puts Harper's persona in the category of unacceptable behavior. He acts like a little kid who doesn't get his way. At some point or another it's got to be embarrassing for not only his teammates but his family to see him consistently act like he does.

Don't blame you ... who doesn't want to watch Bryce Harper!

His suspension reduced to 3 games

 

[Troll Daddy]

Hope Trout recovers in six weeks.

Nationals@Angels July 18th & 19th

Trout and Harper on the same field together ... does it get any better. Have my tickets ready to go! Then we have Boston for three games next. 

[Brent Maguire]

@CaliAngel I wasn't referring to people on this board, more so the social media world. Again, I get the dislike towards him because he's very out there on and off the field but I'm not lumping this in with other things he's done. Strickland is the real asshat here for starting up this brawl.
