Dude was good for three moths, horrible for two, and now he's starting to do things we haven't seen yet. Two multi-HR games in the past week? He's going to be a fun player to watch for the next few decades.

Few decades? I ain't trying to watch a 50 year old breaking his hip out in center.
 
Bryce Harper is AMAZING.

On base 4 out of 5 times. Only out was a line drive. Two walks, and no one will dare throw him a 3-0 cookie.

Forgot to mention the two home runs. Both were bombs. One to each side of the field. He's also one of the best defensive CFs by UZR.

He's going to beast next year, now that he has a feel for major league pitching.

The fact that anyone supports Hillary boggles my mind... I have tested between 130-160 on IQ tests
God, Kinsler is such an idiot on the bases. Good to see Rangers offense steady as ever though.

Goddamn first pitch swinging motherfuckers. Constantly.

Kevin Seitzer is better than that. He knows better. I don't know why he's letting them get away with it so much.

Only 6.5 back of Wild Card #2 now, but two teams in front of them. Unfortunately they only have 3 games left against the Cards.

I care 0% about the playoffs, I just want to finish about the Pirates.

Though it would be funny to see the Brewers make the playoffs with 4 minor league scrubs in the rotation.
 
Harold Reynolds just swore his life on MLB Network that the Phillies were going to zoom past the Brewers, D'Backs, Pirates, Dodgers, and Cardinals to face the Braves in the Wild Card game.
 
Chase Headley is atomic right now. I bet a few teams are regretting not going for it to get him under club control for three years after watching what he's done after the deadline.
