Wonderdouche, indeed.

I officially do not like Harper anymore.

Hopefully this keeps his slump going

Well, there was the whole Freddie Freeman incident earlier this year.

Well, there was the whole Freddie Freeman incident earlier this year.

Which was?

[CyYoung31]

Which was?

Freddie acting like a baby about Fredi not letting him play after his oblique injury right before it put him on the DL.

That's different. Freddie wasn't happy about going on the DL because the Braves didn't let him travel with the team. I still don't understand why he didn't get to travel with the team.

Just my opinion, but I think there's quite a big difference in a player being pissed because the club put him on the DL when he didn't think it was necessary, and another player being told they were giving him the weekend off so he sends his manager a text saying "Play me or trade me".

He still acted immaturely by running on the field to shag fly balls when he was explicitly told not to, and for good reason.

Ok. Whatever. I don't see how you can compare the two situations.

I'm not saying one was worse than the other. Young players are just capable of doing rash things sometimes.

In the end, they both just want to play.

I don't see the big deal honestly

People have to remember how young some of these players are. They are going to show some immaturity from time to time.

I don't consider what Bryce to be immaturity. I consider it to be a lack of respect for elders and people in higher positions of management than you.

[ChapelHillMatt]

I don't, I think he has passion for the sport he's playing and wants to play and was immature about the way he went about expressing that.

If I lost respect for anyone it's Johnson, if he wanted to give him a day off he should have. He's the manager, he calls the shots.

[yeezus]

then what freddie did is the same thing?
i can't get on bryce too much for this. shouldn't have done it, but big deal. johnson really shouldn't air that out to the media either, IMO.

Yet you don't consider what Freeman did to be a lack of respect for management.
