 This story starts back in 2014 when young Bryce Harper took Strickland deep in the postseason. This was the first home run of the NLDS. Bryce just kind of just watches it a tiny bit bat flips. I don't think that's anything that disrespectful. The next home run this word gets tricky because check this out. We have is it fair? Is it foul? Everyone's looking in the same way just trying to figure out if this is a home run or not. So Bryce is staring and watching it but it's not really in the glory of the swing. It's kind of like what is that as everyone else is watching finds out it's a fair ball. It's a bomb. It's in the drink. Paddle surfer makes an epic dive jump fall grabs it and then he just goes on so he's waiting. Is it fair? Is it foul? Okay. It's fair. Okay run. Uh so I mean did he pimp it? I don't it's I don't know but Strickland starts yelling at him and you can see him look at Strickland like what doesn't even yell in response. He's on the base passes. Strickland still kind of eyes him down. Then he yells at him in the dugout. Got all the security of his boys around him. Gives him a yelling. Now we are nine hundred and sixty five days later two years and seven months later the next time they face each other Strickland had told his catcher Buster Posey and his teammates that if he saw him again he was going to hit him first pitch and they all told him like hey dude no need and he told Buster apparently he told Buster Posey if he charges me let him come. That's that's all apparent but first pitch Bryce Harper says yeah you little bitch bat flips him. Now he goes for an epic helmet throw. You at first when I first saw this me personally thought it was a bitch moved to throw the helmet but when you think about it dude just throw a baseball at him. Least he can do is throw the helmet back at him like you throw something to me I throw something to you. It kind of adds up in my head now. So anyway the helmet toss look at these faces and the flinch flinch flinch but the helmet as you can see here just slips from his fingers need more pine tarn the gloves Bryce need more sticky on the gloves but what it did was it got Strickland's feet in an awkward place. Look his footing is bad. Oh also this is the Buster Posey shot. Look at Buster Posey down there. Look how many people have started going. They're fighting and look at Buster Posey hasn't even thought about it. Now did Strickland tell him not to come out? Maybe. Did Buster Posey think Strickland was being a little bitch? Probably because check this out. Bum Gardener the angriest guy ever always up for a good yelling doesn't care at all. Look at this sprinting out to the Fen Strickland Bum Gardener no interest at all. I think that's kind of eye opening to how they felt about Strickland how they felt about this and all of that. So anyway here's the the helmet throw and he gets the footing all weak and loose and now they're actually going to square up and we got a multi cam look at this side by side John Boy media just crushing it. This first little open hand slap Strickland makes contact with Bryce face there then they're going to throw Bryce gonna throw a weak left uh uh Strickland throws a body shot that doesn't connect now Bryce is coming back with another right that doesn't connect so that was the first fourie and now they're going to square up again and like all right let's reset and Strickland goes for a little cross and Bryce sets up for the haymaker and Strickland misses the face and now Bryce throws and that's the cleanest shot you're going to get the brim protects him I don't know fist made contact with the face was it powerful probably not did the brim help yeah the biggest hit of this whole thing is two teammates shark and Morse and actually ends uh Morse's career look at this it's kind of funny because they both have long hair they both have the sunglasses on it looks like two twins crashing into each other or a guy running into a mirror but yeah this ends his career it was on its way out anyway but this solidified that yeah maybe baseball is going to be over and that was a huge collision and shark was close to Bryce I think you know Morse really helped out Bryce there because check out this replay he is just he's just coming right at him I mean if he got the open it would have been like a tackle punch combo type thing would have been bad so that helped Bryce out a whole bunch and then from there you know the drill everyone just pulls each other off Zimmerman's got Bryce Zimmerman walks him back Bryce just walks back calmly he's like okay cool we're over with and then there's this little thing we're worth grab Strickland's jersey right here and says come on get out of there and now Strickland's mad again don't touch my fucking jersey how'd you touch my jersey and like seven teammates of his are like come on dude just stop and now he's fighting his teammates they're fighting him they have such little respect for him they think they have to drag him off the field they're not even gonna give him the chance to walk off like so now he's fighting back even more because he doesn't want to look like his teammates carried him off but they didn't carry him off and that's the end of this one my personal opinion Strickland looks awful
