 This breakdown is brought to you by my good friends over at DraftKings. And I thank them for supporting us. We got Bryce Harper in the box against Blake Snell. After the game, Bryce said that him and Snell have known each other since they were 10 years old. Which always blows my mind that on the professional level, they play travel ball their whole lives. But that's Las Vegas and Seattle. So you're covering the whole coast there. These guys playing against each other that young. Got to be pretty good. Opens them up off speed, outside. That's a ball. Harper's been half hurt. He can't play the field. He can only DH. But like the sign says behind him, he is Philly's MVP from the DH spot this season. That's a fastball. And the umpire says, strike. Now the count is one and one. And Snell's going to go to the fastball again. Harper, nice swing. Blows it by him. One and two. Does he go off speed? No, he's just going to keep going with that fastball at the top of the zone. That's the formula he likes. There's another one. Did he swing? Umpire says, nah. No, he didn't swing. So what do you throw now? Change up? No. Curveball? No. Outside fastball again? No. Curveball? No. Inside fastball. Here's why. That's the blue zone. High and inside. Tough pitch to hit. Tough pitch to locate. The two, two. High and inside. Oh, way too high and inside. And Harper's down. And you can see Snell's not happy with himself. Not happy with the result. And feels a little horrible. And Harper's like, you know, down, down. And this is a scary sight for everyone that was watching this live. And if you're squeamish, don't watch this replay because it's wild how it just hits that left thumb flush. I'm sure it felt like it was shattered. And it looks like a weirdo version of Dak Shepard behind him. But anyway, here's Snell's reaction. Oh. God damn. Harper's in a ton of pain. And now at this point, I always say you can't judge baseball players for what they say on the field because to be a high-level competitive athlete is to mean it means you're not being rational in the moment. And then we try to judge them as if they have all their wits about them, especially if you have what you consider season-ending injury. So Harper's getting frustrated, getting frustrated, walking off. It's all soaking and sinking in. He thinks his thumb is fucked. Look at that squeeze. And he turns. And he says, throw the pitch over the fucking plate. I know you weren't trying to do it. And Snell's like, yo, yo, yo, yo. You know I wasn't trying to. And Harper says, I know. I know. It's my game, bro. I get it. I got you. I got you. I really, it's my game line. I thought maybe you were saying it's part of the game. Bro, I get it. But it really looks like he says it's my game. He points at himself, too. So I don't know it could be in reference of like, yeah, pitching me high and inside. That's part of my scouting report. Or just I play with passion and fire, dude. And I'm going to get upset. That's my game. I don't know. It's my game, bro. I get it. I think it's crazy. In the midst of that, that Harper's able to reel it back in and be like, I accept your apology. I know it wasn't your fault. I'm just fucking mad, dude. And you have to allow me to be pretty mad. But whatever, it's not your fault. But throw the pitch over the fucking plate. Snell tips his hat to the dugout, to the fans, or whoever's yelling at him. And it's just like, guys, I feel bad. I didn't mean to. Turns to the omp and he says, that was a miss. Yeah, yeah. And there you go. That's that. Sucks for Harper. Not fun for Snell, either. Hopefully Harper can come back before the Philly season is over by the calendar and by the standings. Stay in contention. And thank you to DraftKings as always for sponsoring the video.
