Bryce Harper obviously wasn't cool with Stephen Strasburg hogging the "Nationals phenoms doing amazing things" spotlight on Friday night. How else do you explain him responding to Strasburg's lights-out outing in Potomac with his first ever professional walk-off home run? It's almost like Harper is telling Strasburg, "Anything you can do, I can do better."
↵Harper's walk-off homer gave Harrisburg a 3-2 win over Trenton on Friday night. It's Harper's third home run in 32 games in Double-A, and it was an absolute bomb to deep center field. Afterwards, he rounded the bases and jumped into his teammates' arms for a rather typical home run celebration. No kissing, no yelling, etc.
↵That's both good and bad. Good, because Harper really should tone down his celebrations. Bad, because it's less fun that way. Oh well. A less fun Harper that mashes the ball to center field is a Harper I can deal with just fine.
