Related: About this forumMore Irrational Harper bashing
The hatred for Bryce is really ugly and hit a new low today when a professional sportswriter from KC wrote this today:
He also said that he doesn't know Harper but he seems like the type of guy who needs to be choked! Uh what? Even Don Cherry jumped in and said Papelbon should have taken Harper into the tunnel and choked him! I know he has an abrasive cocky personality but the crap being written about him is way way WAAAY out of bounds.. Also- if you think he's lazy you've never seen him play

(7,429 posts)Ozzie was so childish. Just like that jerk McCann (before from the Braves now on the Spankees).
I guess no-one can have fun at work anymore. Harper looks like he's having fun. Oh yeah and he's playing well so I think everyone should just give it a rest!

(38,487 posts)He went after him because Harper was critical of Papelbon for throwing at Machado 2 days before. Harper had stated truthfully that he himself was now a target for 'a drilling' due to Papelbon.
That whole not running out a popup excuse was a ruse to go after Bryce.
So many idiots with opinions in the media.

I read one critic say that Harper doesn't play the game the way it's supposed to be played. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that.
Dude is considered one of the hardest working players in the game---he's putting up history making numbers at the plate---rated in the top 3 of outfielders.
But he doesn't play the game like it should be played.
All I can think of is jealousy or idiots like above are just trolling.
