Nationals Do Not Miss Harper One Bit

[jjgold]

They have good pitching which is all you need to know and saved a ton of money for the future

Phils average

Baseball only sport so called "stars" meaning hitters have no impact on the team winning and losing its bizarre

Trout one of all time greats can barely be a 500 team lifetime

[Sam Odom]

YOU on Nats -300 today ?

[jjgold]

nope

[Otters27]

Rockies bats cold. Take Sherzer today

[goduke]

Hard for teams to sweep 4 game series. At that price Rockies are worth taking

[Sam Odom]

YOU on Nats -300 today ?

nope

[MinnesotaFats]

Said this all winter

Can get the 30 hrs, 95 rbi and .265 average by platooning 2 guys for a combined $2mm

Spend all the saved money on pitching, pitching wins!!

Same w Twins, dump Mauer (.285, 10, 70) and get .285, 30, 100 for literally $20mm less per year. Allowed them to sign a 4th and 5th starter.

Pitching wins....

[HilltopTony]

Does anyone think Harper was EVER any good?!

[MinnesotaFats]

USCPhillyGuy could hardly keep his pants on this offseason with all Phillies signings....

[Sam Odom]

Good at getting a fat Paycheck

[jolyolyolyman]

He’s been hot since the All Star Break, and even won a few games for the Phils. Feel like he’s finally just trying to make solid contact rather than trying to knock each pitch out of the park. Love how he hustles on the bases and in the field. Wish that would transfer to some of the other Phil’s players like Segura and Franco.

[inmyownzone]

We don’t need him. Good riddiance.

[mjsuax13]

Hard to argue. I agree you can platoon and spread the money around. Pitching wins. Period. Bats can be really hot/cold at the right or wrong times.

Harper has been hype for along time. Is anyone worth that kind of money? Is there one huge long term deal like that where the player worked out for the duration of the deal? Tigers fan and we are getting creamed with Miggy deal.

[Mrtop7]

they miss harper today....rockies giant dog +295 today 3-0

[VeggieDog]

I'll have a pint of Old Harper.

[KiDBaZkiT]

Right? They have been on ESPN and MLBNetwork all year long for primetime games, oh wait. NVM.

[Mrtop7]

they miss harper...lost with sherzer on the mound -375 to the rockies


LOL

[Brock Landers]

I can't believe how bad Harper is

Teams should NEVER sign losers like that again

[MinnesotaFats]

They could have signed Nelson Cruz for 2 years $20mm and get 2xs the production

The end of the big contract

How much you losing on Philly today big guy?

[eaglesfan371]

To be honest I don’t understand why Harper even got the big deal. He has appeared semi above average or average last few seasons. Nowhere near his first couple years.

Machado I understood, Harper I did not. Waste of money and just look at Chris Davis. Learning lesson for these teams. Only big contract that will work out is mike trout cause he’s the babe Ruth of this era.

[jjgold]

He is whore shit

Phils deep trouble future

[mjsuax13]

Phillies look really bad. Sending Smyly out to serve up grand slams to lead off hitters. Phillies have no fight in them. Will enjoy watching them sink.

[spippen]

Nationals laughing all the way to the bank

[jjgold]

Spippen you are correct

[packerd_00]

Not even a year into his contract, Phillies must really be kicking themselves.

[Big Bear]

on Saturday they did

[jjgold]

So many good players that make peanuts way better than Harper all over baseball

[mackave]

Fukk him he quit

[jjgold]

Way to go is young guys lower pay

Anyone can hit minors and have same type of numbers
