Bryce Harper Getting Called Up


Heads22

Recommended Posts

It's the White Sox problem with prospects, WIN NOW!

 

708 OPS in AAA at age 19. Only one homer and a handful of RBI's.

 

For comparison, Brandon Inge put up a 907 OPS in AAA last year at Toledo.

 

 

The Nats are in first place....so, here comes this accompanying move to instill even more hype and enthusiasm with the fanbase.

I try to not over react to flash-in-the-pan MLB players because, well, this league has been full of them.

 

But.

 

That kid's 19?

 

He looks 28.

 

And. Um. Hustle.

 

And. Um. Wow.

 

We all know he'll be really good. What if he winds up the best ever?

He's 3 days older then me. God damn.

 

Has there ever been a luckier three consecutive first rounders in Strasburg-Harper-Rendon?

 

They sure as hell picked the best two seasons to be the worst team in baseball. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

That too. Strikes from the outfield to home. He gallops like a horse in the outfield, too. I've never seen a 19 year old who looks like this.

 

Yes you have, you were young, but this was Griffey Jr.

 

 

Deadspin has a funny video of Harper showing up at the washington monument the other day to take a few softball cuts. He whiffs on the first one, which is pretty funny, then he sends the next one a mile away

Don't forget your buddy LeBron...

If by "mile away" you mean a popup like 200 feet away, then yeah, a mile.

He hit it a mile high. Sorry Joe, sometimes mistypes happen. Like when nicknames like "hotfire" come off keyboards
