My issue is more so with this line

“I think Harper’s antics were a major factor in Matt Williams (another of my favorites) losing his managerial spot... he helped make that clubhouse a nightmare”

1) I am not sure what antics one would be referring to.

2) Williams was the reason that clubhouse was so tight. Dusty Baker has created a much better atmosphere

3) Haper was the only Nat to show up in the ‘14 series vs the Giants. Meanwhile Matt Williams blew games 2 and 4 with terrible pitching decisions

4) Williams, rather then learning from Bochy in the ‘14 series, stuck to his robotic script in ‘15 and badly underachieved.

I just find the narrative around Harper tired because the guy is very un PC and speaks his mind, thusly breaking the “unwritten” rules of baseball

Ah, thanks. I admit to being not as informed about this as I should have been. Sorry about that.
