Bryce Harper

[PIP]

Some thought, gentlemen ?

Through my company we have Nats season tickets and when I feel like going to see a game I usually will attend--- lately it's been a real pleasure watching Bryce Harper play in virtually all aspects of the game...

Glad he's finally catching up a bit with Trout-- and with the emergence of Kris Bryant, it would appear there's 3 guys with the stick that have potential to be all time greats--- and in excellent markets as well...

Welp, its pretty hard to pay attention to baseball when your favorite team is in the cellar.

It's funny to see how Yankees fans are already going 'LBJ to the Knicks' nuts over him. I just can't see the Nats letting him walk, they will go to stupid levels to keep him.

Anyhoo, cool to see him taking that next step. Not too often you get overt Mormon villains in sports. He is like the love child of AJ Pierzinski and Mitt Romney. It's great. Hell, imagine what kind of rivalry the NL would have then if Puig converted to Judaism. Or maybe they could team up NWO style. The possibilities would be endless.

He isn't on Trouts level yet though- he needs an MVP first, Trout is still a better defender (he knows where the wall is), and Trout steals bases. But Harper has definitely been the beast so far this year. Really is good to see him develop.

Harper has gotten tossed twice this week for arguing balls and strikes. Here is a gif representation of the second one, courtesy of Vine:

Lot of fun young talent in the game right now.

Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Kris Bryant, Yasmany Tomas, Freddie Freeman, Manny Machado, Starlin Castro, Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell, Chris Sale, Billy Hamilton, Trevor Bauer, Danny Salazar, Nolan Arenado...

I could go on for days. That was just Atlanta through Colorado.

I noticed you left off Lonnie Chisenhall and Zach Walters.

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Got to see a game Memorial Day weekend while I was in DC for my bachelor party. Bryce is something special.
