I've thought about, many times, going in there, maybe I can get one today and it'll do me good. But every time I get to the ballpark and think about it or telling Joe Girardi, then I get to the ballpark and it's, 'never mind, I want to play.
And the more he's played, the better he's gotten. He's in the race again this year. He's hitting. His 1. And he has that ability all the time, that's how good of a player he is. He's meant so much to us, he's grinded it out, played every day, stolen bases, played good defense, walked, driven in runs, big hits.
He's been special. Bryce Harper Career Stats — Mike Pugliese says:. January 21, at PM. Josh says:. Robert Jacobs says:. January 24, at PM.

What matters is the next [five] games. Because these games are important not just to me and my team but the owner, the staff and the fans of Philadelphia.
If I was hitting. Winning the first playoff series of his career has remained more elusive. Before every home game, Harper gives a capless bow to the fans sitting in right field.
Every time Harper takes the field at the start of a game at Citizens Bank Park, he sprints to his position in right field on an arc, like a fighter jet swooping in for a landing. He stops, and facing the fans in right field, he removes his cap and bows to them, then snaps himself upright with a dramatic flip of his thick bundle of hair and pulls the cap back on.
It has become a popular bit of stagecraft. Not since Willie Mays kept running out from under a cap he deliberately chose one size too small has a player made the uncovered head such a signature look. In full sprint Harper often will throw his head back to dislodge his helmet, as if shedding unnecessary drag. The capless outfield bow is more than a show of hirsute splendor.
It is a statement of his happiness to be in Philadelphia through The fans are tough, but I absolutely love it. I try to give them my all every night. They know that. They hold you accountable for what you do, the way you act, and I love that.
I run out to right field every night and I absolutely love it. The Nationals had another teenage outfield star in the making, Juan Soto, and made little effort to keep Harper.
The Dodgers spoke to Boras about signing Harper to a short-term deal with a high average annual value and opt-outs. Harper wanted no part of it. He instructed Boras to get the longest deal possible, with no opt-outs.
He was adamant. The Nationals won the World Series the next year. The Dodgers won it the year after that. I did not want that for my family. I did not want that for myself. I did not want that for my sanity. I think the team is going to have that success. We have the opportunity this year. I love being able to say that. And I can say that for a long time. In this ballpark. I love coming to this ballpark. It makes me happy just thinking about. They go to bed around 1 a.
