Lol At Cole Hamels

This dude is such a fuging bitch throwing at Harper.

From ESPN (http://espn.go.com/m...-not-old-school) :

Hamels' first pitch to the 19-year-old Harper, with two out in the bottom of the first inning, landed in the small of Harper's back. After the game, he matter-of-factly admitted that he hit Harper on purpose, claiming he was trying to bring back "old-school" baseball.

"I was trying to hit him," the Philadelphia left-hander said after the Phillies' 9-3 win. "I'm not going to deny it."

Major League Baseball rewarded Hamels' candor by suspending him Monday for five games.

"That's something I grew up watching, that's kind of what happened. So I'm just trying to continue the old baseball because I think some people are kind of getting away from it," Hamels said Sunday. "I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is.

Bitch please. It isn't old school to bean a guy for no reason whatsoever. Harper had done NOTHING to warrant getting hit.. if he had stared someone down, tried to show someone up, etc.. sure, completely understandable and acceptable.. but Hamels only reasoning was he was a rookie and he wanted to send him a message welcoming him to the bigs.

Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said it best:

"Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school. He's fake tough," Rizzo said, according to the report. "He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year-old rookie who's eight games into the big leagues? He doesn't know who he's dealing with.

"He thinks he's sending a message to us of being a tough guy. He's sending the polar opposite message. He says he's being honest, well, I'm being honest. It was a gutless chicken sh*t act," Rizzo added, according to the report. "That was a fake-tough act. No one has ever accused Cole Hamels of being old school."

"This goes beyond rivalry and all that stuff," Rizzo added. "This points to, you take the youngest guy in baseball. He's never done a thing. And then Hamels patted himself on the back. Harper's old school. Hitting him on the back, that ain't old school. That's fuging chicken sh*t."

In short:

-Hamels is a try hard wanna be badass

-Harper is a boss who handled it perfectly

-Nationals > Phillies

I hate both teams but Harper is a arrogant little punk ass. and the way he acts it was only a matter of time before he got beamed. hamels only mistake was admitting it

That may be so, but he didn't deserve to get plunked by this lil bitch Hamels. Let him give people a reason to hit him before doing it. Since coming to the majors, he's done absolutely nothing to irk ANYONE. If you don't like what Harper has done since being called up you shouldn't consider yourself a baseball fan.

Now that Harper is up to the Show they're going to poke and prod and try to find a weakness. How'd he do the rest of the night after getting plunked?

After getting plunked:

-Went 1st to 3rd on a weak Jayson Werth single, fantastic baserunning

-Stole home on a pickoff move by Cole Hamels to Jayson Werth at first.

-Ripped a single his next at bat

-Ripped a double later in the game

The only time Hamels got him out was on a weak bunt that went straight to Hamels.

Harper is probably already the best position player on the Nationals. I've never seen a guy that knows baseball like he does, and at 19 nonetheless. He will be the best player in the entire MLB one day.

Bitch move on Hamels part. Bean a rookie (in the friggin back no less. At least Zimmermann plunked Hamels in the leg) and then brag about it, and how badass and old school he is for bullying a teenager. He proved one thing Sunday night; he's scared of a 19 year old rookie.

If he wanted to send him a message, he should have struck him out.

      Freddie is the Road Warrior. It's not his fault that we can't score.  We are known for taking more shots. We tried less. That and bad luck killed us.THROW THE PUCK AT THE NET.

      The problem is that if you don't have a fully settled QB of the future, you can't take him because it's just going to create a distraction that your young QB doesn't need while you're seeing if they can be your guy.  Then you also can't take him if you have just a full on legit starting QB because Shedeur likely isn't going to sit well with knowing he has no path to playing either. Realistically at this point, only the Rams, Steelers, or maybe the Raiders make sense to take him, anyone else and it just seems like trouble waiting to happen. With the Rams and Steelers, assuming Rodgers ends up there, it would be where he knows he's going to sit for 1 year and then get the chance to take over while learning from a HOFer.  That's a situation I don't think the Sanders family would have an issue with, especially at this point.   The Raiders would be a little similar, but he could get stuck behind Geno for more than just one year.  And think about it, do you really want a frustrated Shedeur living in Las Vegas?   Beyond those 3 teams, I really can't see a situation that is going to not have all sorts of crazy media around it.... so the Cowboys will probably take him, because of course that will happen. In a way, it's Kaepernick all over again.  The media distraction that is going to come with him, especially at this point, isn't worth dealing with for a backup QB. Once the Giants and Saints went with different QB's, it really set this up to happen.
