The Biggest Villain in Baseball 

Here b4 this blows up

Hola

Hello.

Where do I watch the video? Is it on RU-vid? If it is where is it?

Don't care, sincerely, love....baseball.

Happens in basketball

@@rayquaza1245 no it doesn’t not in any serious league.

Baseball has so many strange unspoken rules since it’s an old sport. Like you can’t even celebrate getting a home run or do the ultimate crime of looking at a ball go out of the park for too long. Ding, you’re getting beamed at 93 miles per hour. Apparently pitchers have very thin skins.

@@owainraysor5108 Pitchers are the biggest divas in all sports.

Been happening a bit recently in hockey...but that's mainly old washed-up commentators getting mad that today's young players can do things that players in bygone years just didn't have the skill to do.

Philly fans are my favorite fans, they love all of their teams and hate all of their players. I'm pretty sure they've thrown rocks at the city orchestra's 2nd chair cello player at this point

I love how he added the “acoona” video to that part too

If we aren't arguing with our players we don't care about them

100% agree. We are ass holes

I feel this

Actually hilarious 😭😭

Imagine a grown man getting upset at a 20yo for doing what he said😂

Shows that his teammates liked Harper, too, because it was their idea.

It's not possible to be over-rated with 2 MVP awards that were 110% deserved. He's got over 40 WAR in 10 seasons, on pace for 80-90 WAR in his career. It's not Mike Trout levels, but it is HOF level. Have you seen Bryce's numbers this year? He's making a push to legit defend his MVP crown. That's rare. Shoehei Ohtani is also looking like defending his MVP. His hitting is down, his power is a bit down, but have you seen his pitching numbers? He's almost thrown enough innings to qualify for ERA leaderboard. He's at like 75 IP or something headed into July, and he's only allowed 1 ER in his last 27 innings. He might actually get some Cy young votes this year. He ain't gonna win it, that's gonna be Verlander or Perez, but man is he gonna get some lower ballot votes.

Sports fans in a nutshell. All of them love to talk shit but if a player responds back "Hey, show some damn respect you classless clown!"

@@craigwheeler4760 Harper would have had a crazy follow up campaign. He would have hit 40 homeruns and had like 130+ RBIs. Plus the way the Phillies are playing right now, he would have a legitimate shot at a playoff run.

@@throgerino2731 harper is a generational talent. he's definitely polarizing but i'd say he gets hated on far more than he deserves.

@@duwop4677 not just in baseball either. ppl already are jealous of talent and they feel like it isn't fair, they actually expect the talented person to tone it down. If a talented person not only ignores that unwritten rule but raises their level of aggression way up then they are always going to get crucified by regular people. Laws of human emotion, double standards, a regular American's life is all about being competitive and getting ahead but if someone can do that so much better that it isn't competitive anymore, then the regular person's entire world view is obliterated. They %100 must obliterate the "cheater" to get their life back to normal. I mean if a fan's house payment was made or lost on their ability to play baseball, most professional baseball players would end up murdered. No joke.

Yes.

Man.. baseball is one of the most ridiculous sports in existence when it comes to these irrationally petty unwritten rules. Especially when it comes to pitchers. Pitchers have the most fragile egos and see themselves as the ones holding the projectile. Show too much emotion, flip your bat too hard, trot too slow, admire your hit too long, make it apparent in ANY way that perhaps the pitcher isn’t in full control of his stuff that day, and there’s a good chance you are getting hit your next at bat. Or, if they don’t want to jeopardize their starter or one of their premier relievers, they will just send out one of their worst in the pen later in the game specifically to hit you, get him thrown out, and then back to baseball. Then you have no stealing bases with a lead OR if you are “too far behind”, no over-celebrating a strikeout, don’t beat your opponents “too bad”, don’t step on the chalk OR step through the pitchers mound EVER, always run as hard as you can even if you grounded to first, never rub the spot you got beaned.. I could go on and on. By far (in my opinion) the worst of them all is: don’t swing on a 3-0 pitch if you are up big (like up by 6 after the 6th inning). This is right there with no stealing with the lead, but worse. The idea is that you don’t want to hurt the other team’s feelings and beat them too bad. And obviously on 3-0 the pitcher is most likely going to throw a fastball strike. What is crazy though is that the other team isn’t just going to give up. So it’s like you are supposed to wait until the other team does everything in their power to crawl back into the game before trying again. So stupid. Just go watch Jomboy breakdown the Tatis jr. grand slam to see how low baseball is willing to go when it comes to making sure everyone feels like a winner. Baseball is honestly such a crapshow..

Yup, literally sums up the answer.

@@matthewmccann7108 people like you are the reason kids think baseball is boring, and why the sport is slowly dying

@@matthewmccann7108 and this is why baseball is losing fans. God forbid people have fun. Pitchers get to celebrate, so should hitters. It’s more fun for fans, teams and players.

Wooden bats were mandatory in the conference he was playing.

he wouldn't have been allowed to if it wasn't required, he would literally be screwing over his team by using a weaker bat

I’ve known of him since we were both 12 playing travel. Since then, he’s been the best player I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen him dominate all 9 positions, 5 HR games, 96 mph fastball, best catcher in nation, he is the definition of baseball. I love the passion tbh, he’s killed it for 15+ years in front of the world and still no love.

Going around saying you're better than everyone probably had something to do with it. Which is fine, just don't be surprised when everyone guns for you

​@@draneym2003but everyone said he was better than everyone. Now he is just repeating it, and now they are mad

@@draneym2003 Bryce barked back. In order to bark back, someone needs to bark at you first. Literally blaming a dude for not rolling over to verbal abuse lmfao

No, he was a duckhead from the beginning. He feeds off the hatred.

Superior?!!?

I don’t watch baseball, but the bm he gives (at least in the video) is not even that disrespectful in my opinion. Just seems like competitive adrenaline or something.

Yeah I guess you will be in the minority on that one. This just solidified his douchieness to me. He is such an asshole and everyone knows that even all of his ex and current teammates.

Yeah I agree

@@colatf2 people hate him cuz he’s young and talented. Same goes for everyone in every profession. Imagine being passed up by a younger better person at your job. You’d be pissed too

He’s hated in Washington because all those stats yet he never won a playoff series and right after we got rid of him we won a ws with a much better much more likable best hitter

He was gonna nail him and then last second decided it was a bad idea

@@rayquaza1245 i think it just slipped out of his hand

juuuuust a bit outside!!

@@Nick_MyName def a slip, helmets aren’t baseball shaped unfortunately lol

Angel Hernandez still called it a strike.

That’s why he’s my favorite player of all time, and he will be in the hall of fame regardless of all the hate

@@bryancole4022 i bet you kept this tab open for 2 days just to say that. Ha!!! It wouldnt be fun if they moslty won or went to the WS almost every year. Rangers better win though because my nerves cant handle this post season

Hes earned his praise here. Alot of guys think you can walk into Philly a star and get praised. You have to earn it here. Hes also been pretty quiet since Joe started managing the team. Hes also a dad now. So, I imagine his perspective on life has changed a bit.

@@largemouthbass355 fax. example james harden will be trashed if he dont step tf up lol

i go to a lot of phillies games just cuz i love the energy, and last time i went to a reds @ phillies, harper got hit twice lmao

pep's hate him for doing exactly what everyone dose in baseball

are you actually with them

@@bikearooee4134they're gonna have fans no matter what

It's like finding out your favorite musician is a pompous douche. Not the end of the world, nothing overtly criminal but just makes them seem a bit less likeable. But the songs still go hard.

Couldn’t agree more the game needs it people don’t watch this beautiful sport for a reason

People spend way too much time worrying about the wrong stuff. Players included.

I am not huge into baseball, but getting mad at players staring at a homer is the dumbest, most fragile thing. Throwing a fastball at someone is no where near a proportionate response. Have they seen people celebrate in other sports?

@@nathangarn6918 Baseball has dumb “unwritten rules” culture.

He IS the overinflated ego...

Yogi Berra*

That’s Yogi Berra💀

@@andrewwaters6411 I think he meant that Harper modeled his career after that quote, not that he said it.

If you come to a fork in the road then take it.

10 % isn't "another half", clown move bro.

Lol, he hasn’t matured. He’s just older now. I hope he never gets a ring. He’s a classless pos player. F him

Let’s go Phils!

louder for the ones in the back🗣💯

Billy Beane has talked about how he knew he wasn't ready for baseball when he saw how much self-confidence Lenny Dykstra had. So much so that he literally couldn't imagine the idea of himself failing. To hit at an elite level it's almost required to be insane or a huge narcissist.

Right? Shows you like and care about the game. People should like it when players care. So many don't...

100% agree

@@VersaceJesus that makes no sense. MLB they mostly fail at hitting....

Same here

After watching one of his videos I ended up buying a Red Sox ticket and have been hooked ever since.

Let me introduce you to Foolish Baseball to complete the stat nerd transformation.

What’s ur favorite team

Welcome to the lifestyle

Fuckin' dope af bro hahaha 😂

He intentionally didn’t throw the helmet at him because the punishment would be much more serious if he use any equipment as a weapon

@@JasonWindsor88 No it just slipped out of his fingers he was definitely going for him

@@reesespieces2514 nah I think he through it to the left on purpose so he could distract the pitcher

@@mercifulprism7900 100% agree he 100% intentionally threw it to the side. He knew the consequences if he hit him with his helmet

@@JasonWindsor88 yeah yeah yeah, if that were the case he wouldn’t have thrown it at all

I've come to this same conclusion.

Same. I like a lot of his competitiveness, except for he argues a bit too much. His responses to everyone's criticism is absolutely think is great.

same

@@zaos7321 I completely agree

@@zaos7321 yeah, the arguing gets a bit too much. Overall i think he's a very good player at the game.

I would have said the same thing as well.

Alright quick story...my juco coach played against Albert Pujols in college. My coach played for Highland County Community College in the Jayhawk conference. A little background...At Highland County's baseball behind left center there is about 50ft of grass, a sidewalk, a road and then houses. I believe Albert played for Longview just outside KC-MO. Anyways during his first at bat he struck out...the catcher for Highland, KS told him "You should go D1, not pro" The next at bat Pujols smokes a ball over left center past the grass, the sidewalk, the road and lands on the roof of a house...Pujols rounds the bases gets to home plate and slams his foot on home plate looks the catcher directly in the eye and says "Fuck D1 I'm going pro bitch!" Now that's 🥶

That’s tough!

@@matthewberrey3982 thanks papi

@@matthewmccann7108 DAMN!!!!!!! That's how you put a trash talker in his place. 😂

100 fucking percent brother!!!!!!!!! Guy is an absolute Gamer

Schwarber is awesome! Love that dude!

@Fries based on some of the contracts that have been signed recently, I think Harper’s has been an incredibly fair deal.

@Fries that’s why Phillies owner wanted the extra 3 years to get the AAV down to $28m. I think that’s more than fair for a 26yo perennial MVP candidate.

He's got that Ty Cobb edge. It's rare for a guy to be good being so on edge.

Yeah that guy's got thick ass skin and unshakable self confidence. All that hate would've gotten to me by mid season 1.

@@jonathanallard2128 esp when I was 16.. Lol. 16!!! And took all that in stride... Fkn crazy..

I don't get why just because you're a fan of the sport you can just ignore bad people. Maybe it's cause I don't watch baseball, but to me I don't give a shit about how good he is at the game, it's literally a fucking game, he's a bad person. Would you say the same if someone in Esports behaved like this and everyone excused him because he was good?

@@SoaringSalamanders lol bro he’s a “bad person” because he makes people mad in a game

@@jamiesmith4757 No, I have no problem with that, that is what makes sports interesting. Attacking or hurting people is the problem. The people who purposefully threw the ball at him are in the wrong too, I'm just slightly more sympathetic.

He’d be even better on the ‘72 Flyers.

When folks ask me who my favorite players are, its Mariano, Reggie, Derek, Greg, Pete, Ricky, and Bryce.

Thanks.

If I hit a home run, I would stand at the plate for at least 5 minutes before I started to very slowly walk around the bases. Stupid unwritten rules.

You never will be that talented. At anything.

@@swifthennessy1949 Really? You might want to check with your mom about that. The other day I had her screaming so loud that my buddy had to leave the room.

Even bumgarner went into the locker room during that brawl, which speaks volumes how the team felt about Strickland

Wasn't Posey injured? What pitcher tosses their catcher in that situation? Everybody hated Strickland that day, including his teammates...lol...

The legend goes that Strickland told Posey "hey I'm gonna hit him, if he charges the mound, let him come"

Pretty sure posey just was thinking that Strickland is on his own, not that he was a clown

@@gosebadoh i think bumgarner was on the DL or suspended, and according to the MLB rules no players that are on the DL is allowed to leave the dugout during a brawl

there's a difference between being good, and being a loud asshole who is also good.

@@Autistic_Tarkov_Guy there’s also a difference to not caring and just focusing on their skill and being extra sensitive and focus more on things outside of skill

@@Boss3Nate ....the fuck are you talking about?

I did the same at third base. Broke my cheekbone. I couldn't ever really play after that

I play pitcher and third and I took a come backer to the face well I was pitching I broke my nose and just got up and played the rest of the game lol. Btw I still pitch I love ball

Same had bad line drive bounce ball hit my eyebrow left a cut with a dent. Was pull out by my coach and was hard close my eyes for the first hour. Harper definitely cares about the game more than anything why we true baseball fans like him.

Definitely understand that. I had a similar thing, except it hit my forearm and not my face. It definitely made me more anxious about trying to catch fly balls. I later got beamed right in the hip from a pitch, which at the time I was a twig and so it hit right on the bone with no muscle protecting it, and at that point I just found myself no longer enjoying playing baseball and stopped playing after that year.

took a couple fly balls to the face playing house league over the years. Most embarrassing part of it was showing up to school the next day with the baseball stitches imprinted on my face

Yup dudes a stud. I can see why people may hate him, but I’ve always loved him and how he plays and I’m not a Phillies fan.

Doesn't make him any more of a likable person though.

@@PerkyPineapple What does that matter? He statistically produces some of the best baseball of a generation. I must have missed when baseball became a soap opera and not baseball.

@@nothazzz when everyone started getting emotional over everything lol. People are soft nowadays as we can see by the comment before ypurs smh

@@InsaneRecordsEnt the only people getting mad at him are old heads about “how baseball should be”. At least as far as I’ve seen.

Right, I hated my neighbor, we went to school together, but played seperate travel teams cause we played the same position, dads hated eachother over an adult basketball league in 1996, We were same size, both lefties, I just couldn’t stand him, (drafted by angels) but looking back, he was actually a nice ass dude, and I was an Asshole lol. It’s natural for men yk.

Only in baseball do you get shit for trying too hard. Absolutely ridiculous.

Most of those "Old Guard" were doping haha

It’s job security, that’s why. They don’t want to be replaced with the new best thing. 🤷🏿

@@sea_triscuit7980 Which I don't mind at all. I welcome steroids into the sports realm. Not only do I pay to witness competition, but I'll concede that for entertainment - juiced-up monsters hitting 100 HRs a year.

Coming from a motorsport background it's really baffling. A lot of the time in F1 especially you get periods where a single team dominates the Constructors Championship for years at a stretch, oftentimes with a single driver on that team dominating the Driver's Championship as well. There really is no bitterness between teams or drivers when one phase bleeds into another, as that's just the nature of the sport: teams rise and fall, new drivers come up and old drivers go down, and the show goes on. When Lewis Hamilton matched the record set by Michael Schumacher of winning seven Drivers Championships Michael congratulated him in person, despite the fact that Mike drove for Ferrari while Lewis drives for their bitter rival Mercedes. The late legendary Niki Lauda came out of a long retirement from motorsport to serve as a technical advisor for Mercedes and help foster the talent of Hamilton and his teammate Valtteri Bottas, again despite making his chunk of history with Ferrari back in the 70s. There's a general understanding that the best way to get butts in seats is to put on a good show, and that means nurturing the legends of tomorrow, old guard helping the new. People don't show up for races that happened years ago, they show up for races that are happening today. History doesn't sell tickets, and MLB has best learn that lesson before history is all it has.

So why did the Nats win the WS the year after he left?

@@admiralv3538 cause they were still a good team? not even that much of a harper fan but that comment is 100% true

@@haydenmayer495 Nah it's cause I heard Harper was toxic in the locker room

@@admiralv3538 trust me guys I heard he was toxic

@@admiralv3538 yet not one teammate has ever come out and said that ya dope.

Cabrera was having a terrible night, immediately nailing Gregorious in the ribs afterward, which should be your cue to get off the mound lest a Phillies fan shoots you in the parking lot.

@@artstsym Which he couldn't do thanks to the 3 batter minimum rule, otherwise Shildt said he would have taken him out after that first pitch; he could tell Cabrera was shaken up pretty bad by that.

Nice

at the same time, you get booed by fans in the NBA if you try a little too hard if your up by a lot. NBA has some bullshit "unwritten rules" too

I love the unwritten rules in baseball. The majority of the effect they have ends up bringing teams together, having teammates standing up for each other, and providing interesting drama(I do admit there are occasional drawbacks but there is far more good produced by them IMO). Also, I honestly think it ends up devaluing celebrations in football for instance when every tackle turns into an impromptu 45 second rap video.

@@Benjamin-1776- Damn did you have to get racist at the end tho?

I dunno. Every sport is trying to tamp down the taunting. If you dunk on a dude, you can't get in his face about it. If you make a great tackle in football, you can't stand over the dude and rub it in. The problem with baseball is that the "unwritten rules" go one way: a batter can't admire his homer or pimp it on his trot, but pitchers can scream and pump their fists after a big strikeout.

I thought so as well... and was also impressed when then Cardinals Manager Mike Schildt disclosed he called up Genesis Cabrera to tell him he was ok and to ask how Genesis was doing. Related - I can't believe STL fired him. I WISH he was the manager of my favorite team. Good dude.

Well, it was obvious to Harper that it wasn't intentional. I'd bet after so many intentional beans, he was somewhat relieved that one pitcher legit messed up.

@@denningfamily2145 mike is kinda a joke tho

@@kierasher1 I'm sure he was also very relieved his skull wasn't fractured. With how serious and dark this incident COULD have turned out, Harper was likely way too consumed with that thought above anything else.

that's what i see

bro saaaaame ive never really understood the hate dude plays his ass off and only talks shit as a response

Exactly. Fans talk all the smack they want but as soon as he responds he’s the bad guy

@@informantfred1853 there is a reason why. If you follow baseball or the teams he has been on you know that he is the instigator. He is a cocky little shit head. He is the least humble person on the planet. Terrible quality to have. That's why his teammates never want anything to do with him now matter how good he is and that's saying a lot because most people will look the other way if you're an all-star. Not in his case though.

@@lucastudor5536 not everyone has to be humble u clown if being cocky helped him become a 2x mvp before 30 then obviously it worked

Lol seriously. The guy is the most unprofessional manager to ever don the title.

I’m a White Sox fan and I totally agree.

bryce harper is probably super racist tho =/ not a fan and he just looks like a massive trump supporter. i would bet all the money in the world he was involved on one of americas darkest days....1/6/2021

Nah yall Philly fans are just pure toxic

Facts, he’s got thick skin and talks back when we get too rowdy, he’s one of us

As a Nats fan I have to admit Philly is the perfect place for him. Our fans are massive pussies and our ballpark culture is extremely soft you will literally get kicked out for yelling “crap”.

For example in basketball trae young

Yeah half the time they’re just really good at the game and talk shit that they can back up, which obviously gets the people who are worse at the sport butthurt lmao.

fans are morons. most people hate on players because they expect them all to just keep their mouths shut, swing or throw a ball, and head back to the dugout without showing any emotion. it's ridiculous. players apparently can't show any emotion but fans can do all the bullshit they want because "they paid to watch the game." The entitlement of some fans is so obnoxious

He just does things to antagonize people, not even in a sporting way. That bit with him dragging his feet across the Braves logo was a perfect example. He'd been boo'ed as usual, but nothing personal, and nothing on the field. He just did it to be an asshole.

I’m with you, also as a Mets fan. He seems to have taken the shit in stride. We’ve seen what happens when players are overhyped and don’t live up to it. This guy has two MVP’s before age 30, and has always been a gamer.
