"You don't pitch well."
Papsmear is a complete douche. He should never pitch another inning for the Nats for putting his hands on their franchise player.
Of course the Nats treat Harper like trash so he gets to pitch and suck ass.

Apparently, Papelbon didn't like the fact that Harper didn't run out a pop-up and started giving him shit for it.
EDIT: Here's a link to a longer video.

Best thing about that.
Matt Williams put him back on the field after the fight.
He gave up the game winning HR.

Papelbon's a piece of shit. The dude who wouldn't approve a trade unless he was guaranteed he got to "close" is bitching at someone else about hustling for the sake of the team? Fuck off.

I honestly wouldn't play him the rest of the season.

Harper is a smug dick but he absolutely didn't deserve that. Pap is fucking shit. A scumbag everywhere he's gone. It's poetic that he's been awful for them since been traded. I hope the Mets bring in Storen and fix him just to add to the hurt.

I have no idea what kind of fucked up mindset you have to have to go after a guy with a 1.125 OPS for not trying hard enough.

I'd have had his ass DFA'd that day. That's not Joe Ihit-twofifty. That's your franchise. The MVP of the league. You don't let an uppity closer do that.
He will be.

Harper has been Barry Bonds 2004 level good this year. IDK what could possibly be going through his head other than being pissed off he got called out for hitting Manny earlier.

I remember wanting to dump Yunel Escobar when he did that homophobic eyeblack bullshit.
I wonder where he ended up.... oh wait.
Nats, lol.
Alex Anthopolous said he learned an important lesson about character from some of the previous deals he had made and seen the team make previously. There is definitely something to that.

Do the Nats wait to trade Papelbon until the offseason or just release him now? Harper is the absolute LAST teammate you'd want to be attacking, you fucking dunce.

I would rather they wait and just sit him.
I don't want the Angels or KC picking him up.
Edit: I guess he wouldn't be eligible for post season though?
They'd only be able to use him for a week.
Good luck trading him.

Yeah he's not PS eligible and I don't think a team would trade anything for him. Just cut your losses.

would it kill Seattle to actually try to win?

Mike Rizzo should be fired for acquiring Papelbon. A completely worthless trade. They already had a closer who was doing great. They needed middle relief.

Papelbon is a complete douche bag.
So good.

Not to mention it was already shown that Storen has issues with keeping his head right. What he needed was affirmation the job was his, not for someone to take it away and demote him when he did nothing to deserve it. That move really was the turning point in their season. It backfired and destroyed the already tenuous clubhouse.

If you've got MLBN, they're gonna show the Matt Williams press conference.
I think Matt Williams took Papelbon's side. Matt's gotten on Bryce, even benched him before, for not running out plays. He's exactly the kind of manager that would think Pap's was being the tough veteran leader and that Harper needed to learn something out of it. The supporting evidence is that Paps got to pitch while Harper got benched. It seems pretty clear to me.
What could he possibly even say after still sending out Papelbon afterwards?

Williams inability to get along with Harper is what lead to all this in the first place. It was the first thing that started this whole landslide of failure.

I can't believe Matheny left him out to die like that. He had nothing today.
Arrieta better pitch his ass off tonight.
