That would be soo dope tho..
Strike a nikka out and :scust: him all the way to the dugout lol...
That made me wanna be a pitcher lol.. the thought of styling on these nikkaz 90 feet away seeing them frustrated lol

Few better feelings in sports than striking someone out and giving him that :mjpls: as he makes his way to the dugout.

I miss it so much :mjcry:

It's a big dream. But if not him, who? Mike Trout is Harper's equal as a player, but he's as publicly charismatic as a plate of sand. Harper, in true prodigy fashion, demands attention. In Game 4 of the 2014 division series against the Giants, he stood on deck in the seventh inning with the Giants leading 2-1. A fan in the sunken seats about 10 feet away, holding a glass of red wine, berated Harper with an intensity that couldn't be ignored.

"Hey, buddy," Harper said. "How's that glass of wine?"

Harper remembers that the fan sputtered before saying, "You're going to strike out."

"You know I love playing here, don't you, buddy?"

Seconds later, Harper drove a fastball into San Francisco Bay. As he touched home plate and turned for the dugout, Harper fixed his eyes on the fan, holding his stare a step or two longer than necessary.

"He was just devastated about life," Harper says.

:dead:

This is funny cause so many people are looking at this the wrong way.

Im not gonna be clowned on.. So you can do whatever the fukk you want when you hit that home run off me, just dont be surprised when I feel like "expressing myself" too and throw a fastball at your head next time :ehh:
Why don't ya bytchass just strike me out...:ehh:
like.. if I hit a home run off you and fukking dab all the way around the til home ..:pachaha:
why wouldn't you take the challenge to be like.. ok.. I got something for this nikka next time:smugbiden: :pacspit:
. . That "get him back" mentality is fukking retarded.. Reminds me of 2 situations in basketball. The first was when Son off the Celtics STYLED on Rafer Alston and he turned around and slapped him in his head :krs:.. and the next one was in the movie Fresh.. Dude shot the kid because he styled on that ass . Both jus bytchassed responses to having someone get the best of you :martin:

Bryce even gave props to Cam Newton :myman:


Even though I'm a Mets fan and he plays for a rival team, I must say that I agree with him :ehh:





This was EASILY the best moment in baseball last season... That Bat Flip was so :banderas:



Here's the thing:

- this Bautista moment was going through my head when I read the OP.
Jose could do that if he wanted, who could stop him?
He even did it against my team. You know what they did?
They beat him. Problem solved.

- there were a handful of moments like that in the league last year.

- even Bryce himself says there are other players comin' up playing like this,
so what does he mean "you can't express yourself"? Just do the chit...

I'm not a baseball fan at all so correct me if I'm wrong, but theres consequences to "just doing the shyt" right? Not only will the opposing pitcher try to hurt him or one of his teammates. But he probably has people on his own team including the manager that follow the same unwritten rules so he has to answer to them.

Just last year he got yoked up in his own dugout and his own manager was treating him like a POW over some petty shyt. Doesn't sound like its easy to just do whatever you feel in baseball...

Them unwirtten rules of baseball are for the birds and old white guys. they hate seeing outgoing and grandiose behavior. My fellow dominican players get killed all the time for being loud and stylish.

best believe bryce gets a pass for saying that shyt cause he white.

There's "consequences" to everything in life...but so??

You show up a pitcher. Next time he throws at you, or your teammate.
Go to the mound and square up on him, or your pitcher throws at one of their guys.

Baseball came for the Royals this past season because they kept fighting teams. So? They won the Series. Eat it, bytches.

Baseball didn't "like" Ken Griffey Jr. wearing his ballcap backwards. So?
He's still a GOAT and had one of the highest vote percentages for the HOF ever. Eat it, bytches.

My point is - no amount of alleged "unwritten rules" will undo that HR that got smacked over the wall,
so celebrate your chit. If the other team is really that mad about it, they'll play harder and try to beat you.
But that burden is on them. You don't have to change the way you play to not hurt their feelings. Fucc them.

I'm starting to like Bryce Harper now.... except for those 18 games against the Mets though... He is spitting that real.

I do wish he'd have made a better showing of throwing them paws at Papelbon in the dugout tho... :scust: You can't be inviting that kind of stuff if you ain't really about that scrapping life.
Papelbon a big boy breh. Big ass dock worker looking motherfukker from the bayou. Crazy as fukk to boot. One of the last dudes in the mlb I'd try and scrap with
