Get real. The brushback pitch, chin-music, close shave, purpose pitch has been a part of baseball since the 1800’s. It’s used for intimidation, retaliation and to send a message.
This World Class Douchebag Harper punk came up to the bigs with a cocky-attitude and a big mouth. He blew a kiss at a minor league pitcher that he hit a homerun off of. No class and ZERO respect for the game.
I support Cole Hammels. This Harper punk would be picking up his teeth if he had to face Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson or Sal “The Barber” Maglie. He disrespects the game and needs to learn a lesson. The game is bigger than him and he needs to treat it - and the competitors on the field - with much more respect.
This pansy-ass PC wimpy crap sickens me. Drysdale knocked Mays down with chin music in every game he faced him in. Juan Marichal of the Giants routinely sent Dodgers batters to the deck to protect their coconuts. That’s old-school baseball. You didn’t see cocky punks hot-dogging it and blowing kisses to the pitchers then.
I hope Harper gets a tough first tour of the big leagues with plenty of baseballs to the ribs and fastballs aimed at his gigantic helmeted ego.
Wait until the little pussy has to play in Philly. Must see TV.
Wrong. He has done nothing but hustle, play hard, and play well. Maybe that's what Hamels objected to.
