May 11, 201610 yr I will take him and all of his anger issues on my team. Every clubhouse needs this kind of player. Look at what O'Neil did for the Yankees. Passion is a good thing. The celebration tirade was a bad look.
May 11, 201610 yr No, the Reds dont need BP 3.0 You're right about one thing...his season long stats will probably be 3x BP's lol.

To be fair, he'd only been ejected like five minutes before. I can see why he'd still be mad. It would be different it he'd been tossed in the first inning.
May 11, 201610 yr From the video I saw from last night's game the umpires made sure to back their own. Took a called third strike that looked pretty low. I read he also was called out on a play where it looked like he was safe. He didn't say a word.

Be man enough to admit you were wrong and apologize to the umpire instead of being a punk kid all your life.

May 11, 201610 yr How many teams in the World Series in the past 5 years have had a player making over $200M at the time? Oh, you absolutely have to pay the roster appropriately. You can't tie it all up with one player. But if any player is worthy of that price, Harper is near the very top of the list.
May 11, 201610 yr Wouldn't doubt for a second that Votto would have a similar reaction in that situation.
