i couldnt care less about attitude or respecting the game or what other players think (though i imagine many would publicly support bryce if it didnt risk pissing the precious umpires off) or any other old timey sentimental buzzwords, that one person with authority baiting confrontation and ejecting one of the most exciting players in the game right now cuz he hurt your feelings is a bad look for baseball. the fact that this isnt the first time an umpires done exactly that to harper and the nats makes it even worse.

there was a game in pittsburgh a few years ago where harper checked his swing, 3rd base ump called it a strike, bryce muttered something, and the ump walks down the line yelling at him. bryce took the bait, yelled back, got ejected. how on earth is that acceptable behavior from an umpire? why are they immune from criticism because harper doesnt respect their inflated sense of authority enough?

the baffled look on jim joyce's (not exactly a beacon of rational umpiring) face while hudson was puffing his chest out at harper and williams wednesday night said it all

Slow jams during BP irk the Phillies

the likes of Sinead O'Connor, Phil Collins and Sarah McLachlan.

Other than the one good Frank Sinatra song that plays when Harper comes to bat, I'll take any of the above artists over the walkup music played for the rest of the Nats.

Harper sucks.
You forgot to say "Point is," and "at baseball."

Point is Harper sucks at baseball.

uh... you can say you don't like his style, his hair, his attitude, whatever... but you can't say that he sucks at baseball:

Quote
The early numbers are staggering. Barely past the season's quarter mark, Harper leads the major leagues in runs (39), extra base hits (26), walks (40), OPS (1.198), isolated power (.393) and Wins Above Replacement (4.1).

He's even wielding some serious leather. According to Baseball Info Solutions, Harper leads big league right fielders with 10 Defensive Runs Saved. St. Louis' Jason Heyward, the confirmed gold standard at the position, has four DRS.

but maybe i'm missing something... like "baseball is more than just on-field performance"?

He said this a week into the season when Harper was struggling and he has since claimed his "shaming" Harper has been the cause of Harper's improvement. I believe he is saying it today in that vain.
