While Harper is *portaryed in the media as a arrogant dickbag, and that narrative is lapped up by unthingk fans*, I would not blame him in the slightest for demanding a trade.

Internet TUFF GUY!!!!!

Nah. He bats leadoff in every game. And immediately gets pulled from the game and escorted out of the stadium after the Nats opponent can’t resist plunking him.

D!F!A!

It’s more like the teenage clerk not stocking all the shelves he’s supposed to, not sweeping the floor like he’s supposed to, and not checking in inventory like he’s supposed to in order to fuckk over the person on the next shift, because he has some irrational hatred/dislike/jealousy of the guy on the next shift.
Harpe…

I love how the description is “tempers flair”.

Um...Papelbon straight up tries to choke Harper.

I’m a big fan of Mike Rizzo.
But this story has two of his biggest failings on display.

They’re worth a lot more than the eye test, and slobbering over a guy’s defense because he hits the ball very well.

Remember, as amazing as this catch is, it is one play out of hundreds of chances. Playing average-ish over those other hundred chances brings the overall total down.
Think of it this way...Ben Revere might…
