Just hit a little flare fly out to left field and he jumps and runs like he just batted a line in the gap.
Amazing, looking forward for his first HR, first inside the park HR, first grandslam, walk off hit..

he's playing like he was always in mlb, doesn't look like a rookie at all.

He has a fucking laser cannon for a right arm.

I know, if it wasn't for the catcher dropping the ball, he would've assisted for an out in his very first game, man that throw was a misile.

He drew a walk in extra innings yesterday too, instead of trying to be a hero.

You just totally ruined this thread. Thanks.

And he stole home.
Got HBP, being aggressive advanced to 3rd on a single to left by Werth, and stole home on a pickoff attempt by Hamels.

Fucking a. Literally just started watching the game and Harper was up in the 8th. Got jammed, blooped it over the shortstop, hustled and turned it into a double.
Uncle Saxi will, but he's gonna want something in return.

A few points to make.
1) He had a ridiculous lead on that steal of home. Must have been his secondary and they don't show where he is originally, but jesus.
2) He plays LF right now. He can play CF because he's athletic enough. I don't think he can read and knows the position as well as Ankiel though. Ankiel should stay in CF. He also has a cannon. We were hoping to get a new CF through trade or FA, as it's one of our few weak positions. And I use weak in the sense that we don't have anyone young developing there at all as backup. Lombardozzi fills in the infield, Morse at 1B, Tyler Moore at 1B/LF.
3) Werth is injured, dunno for how long, but he wasn't producing anyway. Move Ankiel to RF (counter to what I said before, but he's used to moving around, Harper hasn't played there at all), Harper to CF, Moore to LF, things are good.
4) Again, run production was our problem, and a meltdown by the bullpen (like only the 2nd or 3rd time at most so far this year, which is good). Would we have won if it were 3-0 or 4-0 prior to Pences first HR? Or if we were only down 3-2 or tied 3-3 going into those last 3 innings? Maybe, but you can't look back in a 162 game season.
Go Nats.

Yeah but ZImmerman and Morse will be back for June for sure. The Nats should not have much trouble producing runs when you have all those guys healthy.

I hope so.
Desmond had a sweet triple tonight. He's been crushing balls.

Wait... are all of you Nationals fans? Where have you been the past three years?
Good to see the Phillies at least take one game. Just need to stay around 500.
Also, Bryce Harper is ridiculous.

No, I'm a Red Sox fan, and a Bryce Harper fan.
I just hope he NEVER EVER plays for the Yankees and that he doesn't get injured.
Cole Hamels admitted that he hit him intentionally, because he doesn't like that young players arrive with that attitude to MLB.

And Schilling is right, hit the guy, get hit back, and when asked just say you lost control of the ball with a little smile, everybody will know, and it will be ok.
Why would he go on an say it? People is over sensitive nowadays, Schilling himself, saying he could've hit him in the head?
