Harper vs Teheran: round 1

[bmp1971]

HR then beanball on the next pitch to him. How is Teheran not thrown out of this game after that?

If this ever happens again, what do you want to bet Harper rushes the mound and knocks his teeth out?

Well since it's harper he would rush the mound, then cry about someone else hitting him.

Where do you get "you're gonna die"....I don't see that at all...

Punk move by Teheran. He is lucky giving up a free base runner didnt cost them the game. You don't pull that XXXX in a one run game.

agreed...I'm not 100% sure it was intentional...i'm not arguing whether it was or not...but if it WAS intentional....completely stupid...

This rivalry between them goes all the way back to Ext. ST '11, when Teheran made Harper look silly on three pitches, and apparently he didn't take it too well, from what I've read.

 

[jrinne]

at least he threw low

This was the first thing that came to mind. He could have gone head hunting but he didn't.

I think the commentators pretty much nailed it...you don't miss your spot by that much at the Major League level, especially for a pitcher who had been hitting his spots all night. Pretty clearly intentional.

K vamos Teheran! K vamos Colombia! P'al mundo! P' alante!!!!!!!!!!!

Young guys admiring own homers deserve to get drilled. Julio kept it below the waist. That's baseball.

 

[whackspacks]

Bryce Harper is a clown.


Bro.

 

[bedot]

If Harper tried anything he would have had to face the forearms of Dan uggla

I like Harper's inspirational motives for his team...they seem to be responding well by at least playing competitively even as they fall further and further behind....Go Braves!

Wait, was this a Colombian attack? Damn FARC.

Do they? Says who? And yes, it is baseball-- it's called bushleague baseball where a ***** of a pitcher can't handle having his ego popped.

Harper didn't hot dog anything, nor did Teheran even see him looking at the homer.

Teheran (after the game) claims he didn't want to make another mistake to Harper-- and so he beaned him to make sure that didn't happen-- but claims he was just trying to throw inside.

If Julio truly made a mistake by hitting him, he would have made that clear to Harper immediately after hitting him. He showed and said nothing to him as Harper marched to 1B yelling. Non bushleague pitchers would go after the hitter the next time to strike them out. But if the ego is shattered, the little biatches can't do anything else but throw at guys.

I agree. The war on celebration is ridiculous, what is so wrong with enjoying baseball?! Nobody cares when it's basketball, football, tennis, etc. but when someone shows an inkling of happiness when playing baseball everyone says, "he deserves to get hit in the face with 100 mph fastball." It's insane that people are so brainwashed by the old school philosophies that they think enjoying a game deserves punishment.

He's 20 - plenty of kids feel entitled to respect then yell f-you when it isn't given. He's got many years ahead to celebrate homers with all kinds of swaggy and whatnot. This incident is nothing to get excited over.
