Bryce Harper and Tyler Waldron Argue, Clears Benches after Striking Out

[MMLTXRanger32]

I like how the fucking bench on the other team cleared

[bdpjbeezy5]

Nice guy? This dude is the biggest asshole ever. He doesn't give two shits about the team, he's the next Barry Bonds. Fuck outta here with that bullshit.

[swishnow95]

ahahaha the poor bat boy in between harper and waldron

[Coilingtechcom]

Harper can hit. He has an amazing swing.

[onehitwinsit08]

So harpers a dick, because the other guy started it. If you ever met bryce, hes the nicest guy in the world but once he gets on the field, all he cares about is helping his team win

[7trainQbnyc]

I thought it was funny how Harper backed up as the bench came at him.....stand ur ground pretty boy

[swan6807]

Kinda a Douche

[piratebaseball10]

@TallentedE02

I just so happen to know Bryce on a personal level, and it's people like you that give him a bad name. The thing that you don't realize is that I was at that game and at Bryce's previous at bat, he cranked one off of that pitcher. So when the pitcher gets a borderline call, he was talking shit and Bryce asked him how he liked that bomb and he told him to look at the scoreboard (Bryce's team was winning by 9 runs). He doesn't have an attitude and he is a great athlete and you don'

[LiuetenantDan93]

Bryce was about to kick some ass

[24ChappyCHS]

1:53 Bat boy's like "WTF?"

[Ladiestreat]

The kid needs to grow up. I don't know if that's possible.

[xxxxHOLLYwood79xxx]

Harper would have killed that poor man

[xavior8694]

1:43 aww yeah

[Bluejayfan13]

We all know the kid is good but everything I hear about him, he sonds like such an ass

[TaLLentedE02]

@Bluejayfan13 he is.

[CP2VIPERS]

im tired of hearing people bitch and comlain about him he's a good kid signs as amny autograph's as he can before games plays the game right way and learns from his mistakes

[TaLLentedE02]

@CP2VIPERS did you get your opinion from sportscenter, online, or did you actually see it first handed? most people would say sportscenter. they almost try to make him God - like on espn. this video is legit bryce harper.

[CP2VIPERS]

@TaLLentedE02 not from sportscenter and not online thats my opinoin on him it's not like he's doing anything wrong idk y people boo him because your not affecting the way he is going to play the good players can ignore it and thats what he does and just goes out there and plays

[TaLLentedE02]

@CP2VIPERS i agree, he is a good player. but thats the only thing i respect him for. its his attitude that needs adjusting. you could be the best player in the universe, but the biggest jerk, and you would have no fans cheering you on, no one wearing your jersey, and anytime your name is mentioned, people turn their head. i hope he's ok with no fans because the people that actually meet him, and not get their opinions from youtube videos, are going to see his true colors.

[Officine123]

Read an awesome SI article today by Tom Verducci on Harper. Didn't the whole story behind the kiss-blowing incident until I read that today. All I need to know about this kid is that he's a student of the game, is fundamentally solid at his position, and has one of the more beautiful swings in baseball. Can't wait till he hits the majors and we can see more of him. I wish him nothing but the best.

[AdamR702]

TRUE STORY(ill try to make it short) at Mcarren Airtport I was with my mother on a shuttle bus and we stacked our luggage and my mom had a glass pictureframe in a box and put it on the top of the luggage, Harper and his dad came in and slammed thier luggage and baseball bags on top of the box(there was plenty enough room next to it) and just acted like nothing happened when it clearly broke I told them to move it, the just stared at me, picureframe shattered, his dad paid my mom half of it back

[cleveland33cm]

do people realize that if the benches didnt fucking clear.....it would be broken up my security?..instead of escalating

[synysterwylde627]

poeple shouldnt be hating. sure he seems like a major dick BUT no one on here has the talent he does (myself included). I mean he should've graduated high school a month ago...how many of you would be able to skip two years of high school, get drafted, and be SUCCESSFUL at the next level?...exactly shut up the kids got more potential then anyone's seen in years and for years to come.

[SportsGuy2194]

@eliseemmark thats why you will never be a professional baseball player.

[sm0kedbacon]

Sure Bryce Harper is cocky and arrogant but hey he is the youngest pro baseball player out there and he is doin pretty well, so why wouldnt he be arrogant he will get shut down after a while and mabye realize the reality of things, but dont talk shit about him anybody that is doesnt understand how much tension there is in a baseball game between teams mainly in close games.

[pdaztec5]

ha I would've knocked his ass out haha

[SportsGuy2194]

@pdaztec5 no you wouldn't have.

[pdaztec5]

@SportsGuy2194 pretty sure i would've man, I've played against him and I'm bigger than him, and I already don't like him but he does hit the shit out of the ball

[SportsGuy2194]

@pdaztec5 Atleast you admit that.

[MKninjas]

The kids got unheard of talent the thing is he is to immature to be in the Majors truth is ive seen him and hes a cocky asshole and some the shit hes pulled down here at hagerstown is gonna get him thrown at in the mlb and with a multi million dollar investment like that you dont want hime getting hurt so because of his maturity level i dont think well be seeing him untill mid season next year or 2013 at the latest

[SportsGuy2194]

@MKninjas ya he will mature definitively. He already has. I think we will see him in the second half of next year.

[thubb3]

Don't get me wrong I like to watch him play and he is a well rounded player, him being nice or not, if you are not on that field hearing what goes on first hand, then there is no reason to judge him.

[thubb3]

Things happen like that in baseball, yes the media will blow anything out of proportion especially when it's about Bryce, all the eyes are on him. I know for a fact that there are a lot of guys that take shots at Bryce because they don't think that he can live up to the hype, but when he crushes a homerun off of the pitcher he faced, it doesn't give him the right to trash talk back. He should be wise and more mature about the choices that he makes. It will catch up to him when he makes the pro's

[austindachickmagnit]

what would you guys do if u struck out and the pitcher said some shit.....most likely you wouldnt act like a punk and say somethin back to him so i dont under stand how he is such i bad guy i would have did the same thing

[Hayes304]

My point was, his attitude just shows you what the media does to an individual. Jameson is 19, Machado is 18 I believe, and they do not act like they are better than anyone else, and both are as good as the media. Half of the Harper commenters on here would not know them because they only see Harpers name getting blown up. Thanks ESPN.

[Hayes304]

Not sure if it didn't post all of mine or not but anyways, he has a terrible attitude off the field and his little incidents on the field that he has had (not this one!) will get him hit in the majors. Stop pretending like he is such a wonderful person because you saw his name on ESPN. Yes he is a great player, age does not matter since most of the A guys are 18-21ish.

[Hayes304]

I never said he had an attitude because of this incident. All i said was that I have been around all 3 many and talked to each and you can see a huge difference in his attitude. Age does not matter, they are all 18-21. And he is not your average 18 year old. I'm not going to argue about his attitude, i've seen it 5 games in person, and you will see it too once you look past how amazing his ESPN highlights are and look into other little 'incidents' hes had, but i'm sure you think its never his f

[devanrodgercampos]

Harper is definitely 18 not 19 or 20 and for someone to say that he is over rated or that he has a bad attitude without even meeting the guy is just stupid. Put yourself in his shoes, if you think your "nice" second and third picks wouldn't snap after having the pitcher try to say something after you just took him yard then you must not be a baseball player.

[Hayes304]

And to all of you thinking Bryce is such a nice wonderful guy, he isn't. Yes, he is a good player and yes he is great for his age, but that kid has been blown up by the media and it is obvious. Our team has the 2nd overall pick (Jameson) and the third pick (Machado) was in town this past week and those two guys are extremely nice and will talk to you and sign stuff. You can tell which one the media has built up.

[Hayes304]

The benches cleared because the pitcher said something to Harper. Harper hit a home run on the first swing of the game, then Waldron struck him out. Waldron said something as he walked past and then Bryce said something back which lead to the benches clearing.

[Hayes304]

Yes sir, it is the West Virginia Power's new stadium. I believe it is about 7 years old now? They use to be the Charleston Alleycats/Wheelers/Charlies and then had a new stadium built. It's fairly small and rarely crowded except on dollar beer night. Its a very clean stadium though, its nice. Very easy to get autographs, as you can see, people here don't come out to minor league games.

[Tylernol08]

This looks like a pretty mice Minor League Stadium. I'm thinking it's some where in the South Atlantic League since the Suns are playing. Does anyone know what stadium this is??

[BALLSxToxThexWALLS]

can someone tell me why the benches cleared?

[kendallwallace1]

Sit Down In Your Seat !

[Nysportsguy21]

@TaLLentedE02 he's 18...

[scallstar805]

I would come off a little cocky also if i got drafted as a 17 year old

[matmct1]

"get em ginger!!"

[dandyd8691]

Watch at the 1:34 mark. Up to tthat point Harper is taking off his gloves and then suddenly turns. The pitcher said something to him. Don't know how he comes off as a prick for challenging the guy.

[samherb1]

@dandyd8691 The pitcher probably said something to him because of how he acted after he hit a homerun in the previous at bat. By most accounts Byrce is an arrogant a-hole. He is just a kid so hopefully he learns some humility soon.

[bobbyl66]

@eliseemmark Tlk all you want end of day he has contract and the yankees would sign him in a heart beat if they could... and no one would care. He is young guys twice his age act same damn way so dont talk crap about him.... and dude only reason u would bean him is cuz uk he would probably take u deep

[austonperkins]

@colmustard lol he's in single A not AAA and he's no where near making the MLB they've even said publicly that he will not be in the majors soon he is not mature enough read up on things before making stupid comments

[TheBtwnascar]

bryce harpers sick dude went to a summer camp that his minnor leauge was putting on and he was one of the pros obviously. well he hit 29 hommers off me and i threw 32 pitches to him and im 15 and throw 89mph and they werent down the middle either.

[TheBballplayer14]

@TheBtwnascar he's nowhere near about to go to the mlb bro, look up infielder hunter jones, got drafted by the indians last year, he's 19 years old and he's in AA. keep a watch out for his name in the near future.

[ColMustard52]

Kiss my ass Harper will be one of the best player..... All u tlking shit lets see u at 18 or 19 in the AAA Bout 2 go 2 the MLB

[TaLLentedE02]

@ColMustard52 harper isnt in AAA. he's in low A buddy, and they aren't promoting him anytime soon with the attitude he has. and btw, he's not 18, he's either 19 or 20 now.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 FIRST OF ALL when i wrote that comment he was still in low A, 3 weeks ago. and it's not like his attitude will ever make it in the MLB. he would be suspended if what he did in this video he did for the nationals. and if he blew a kiss to any mlb pitcher, i'm sure the pitcher, or the organization would straighten him out.

[SportsGuy2194]

@TaLLentedE02 The organization is straightening him out. He would not get suspended for saying a couple words back to the pitcher. It's not like his attitude is the worst we have ever seen. It really isn't that bad.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 you ask anyone who has met bryce, you can even ask the uploader of this video. why dont you go to a harrisburg senators game and ask him for an autograph along with a group of fans, see if you think he's still not that bad.

[SportsGuy2194]

@TaLLentedE02 I have actually recently gotten an autograph from him at a Hagerstown game. I've gone to a few Hagerstown games and after everyone, win or loss, he signed autographs for awhile. Just calm your dick.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 i dont have one, im a girl. and thats GREAT that you easily got an autograph, because he first played here in rome and barely signed. i would hope that he atleast signed in the town of the team he was playing on. good for you.

[SportsGuy2194]

@TaLLentedE02 Haha to me it just sounds like your mad because he didn't give you an autograph? It's really not a big deal. I can understand why he wouldn't want to give you an autograph.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 ummm, i got an autograph. it took me 5 tries, but i got it. and why is that? cause im not a guy? jerk.

[SportsGuy2194]

@TaLLentedE02 No because you are retarded.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 i've been doing this stuff for 8 years. i can tell a jerk from a nice guy. and i didnt label him a jerk the first night i saw him. i've done my reseach, i've observed him, and his bads outweigh his goods. i know what im talking about. whatever.

[SportsGuy2194]

@TaLLentedE02 He has even said himself that he has made mistakes and he is trying to learn. Clearly you have never done anything competitive in your entire life. You are dumb as a rock.

[TaLLentedE02]

@SportsGuy2194 oh, does 10 years of softball not count as competitive? along with 4 years of soccer, 2 years of martial arts, 1 year of basketball, and 4 years of gymnastics. ok haha, i'm not a competitive person at all. you amuse me. stop trying to come back by calling me stupid, because you dont know me. just drop it, cause im not arguing anymore.

[CP2VIPERS]

@TaLLentedE02 well soccer is a gay sport and its not that competitive,martial arts is not competitve thats gay 2

[TaLLentedE02]

@CP2VIPERS i agree soccer is gay. but when your 4 YEARS OLD and don't really know what sports are gay what aren't, you tend to find out. and same thing with martail arts, i never stuck with it.

[bbnoreaster15]

I think the other pitcher said fuck off to Bryce

[bhoff164]

Way to go! you just struck out an 18 year old should be high school kid!

[DSVetDad]

I don't know the kid, but Harper sure comes off as a prick...

[jumpster95]

Bryce will be a great player. Did we really expect him to never strike out? Someone on the other side probably said something smart and Harper said something back. It is baseball. Either way, I will pay to go see this kid play in the future.

[Heinrix54]

Call me sick, but I love it when the benches clear. Before games in high school I prayed that the opposing pitcher would do something stupid, just so I could hit the top of the steps like I was shot out of a cannon, lol.

[terryjones328091]

its like everybody out to get him... lets just play ball

[VerTicSnipingUS]

bryce harper would of kicked his ass

[marcpowers5]

YEAH WALDRON. !!! struck his ass out

[TaLLentedE02]

oh my gosh. i would've freaked if i got this on video...and with harper too. he would argue that though....

[chlyons]

that was bound to happen
