OMG a 19 yo from Vegas isn't a Caps or Wizards fan! Everyone get your torches.
I guess I'm not bothered by him not being a DC area fan so much. But the fact that he's a Yankees fan scares the crap out of me.
You obviously don't get what it's like being a 19 year old with broad opinions being on a national stage and also have the added advantage of the technical world in front of you. Plenty of young people do this. Bryce is being exactly what he is, a typical 19 year old. He just happens to be in a 19 year old in the national spotlight with every twitter reading d'bag microscopically tearing apart everything he does. I read twitter and I follow Bryce. I'm nearly 24 and I get it. He is trying to act his age because that is what his peers are doing and sometimes you have to let a kid act like a kid. Just because he has a professional career does not mean you can look at others who are playing the game and treat him like that.What I mean is don't treat a 19 year old like a 30 year old which seems to be the average MLB player age.
Pray for an extension while he's here or else he's gone once he hits FA.
Traded and then ear holed by HRod.
Ha, seconded.
certain.players try to make themselves fixtures.in a town(think.Ovie.going to skins.and wizards.games), others don't. His.job is to play baseball not ingratiate himself.to.the locals, but it.would be nice.if.he tried
19 is an adult and I expect him to act accordingly. Less Twitter nonsense and more gym work.Griffey never bagged on Seattle teams. Never heard Jeter hate on NY teams. Lebron is villified by most NBA fans for how he acted in Cleveland. I'm not saying he has to root for for the Wizards or Caps. But don't say that you hate the teams that at least 75% of your fanbase roots for.
god i'd rather watch Big Bang Theory than continue to have this "debate".Hey JMAD is a Giants fan. Berkley is a Ravens fan. UMD is a Steelers fan. But oh they root for the Nats, they should all give up those teams to jump to the skins!!!move on people.
But Jeter and Griffey aren't and probably never were arrogant tools. Harper is a arrogant, and may or may not grow out of it. Once he gets humbled by something that he can't take down should do it, so maybe having him on the team right out of ST isn't such a bad idea. Nothing like going toe to toe against Doc and Lee not to mention JJ in Miami and the live arms of the Braves plus their 7-8-9 shutdown. If he can put them to shame than he can continue to be arrogant, but Iu doubt that happens. I remember acting like a jerk when I was 19 and I'm pretty sure I grew out of it. I think he will get there, it's just going to take time. Plus I don't dig that he was so in the spotlight at such a young age. Being on the cover of ESPN at 16 has to do something to you, just saying.
Serious question - who IS making friends in DC? Certainly not any of the guys currently on the team.
Right. Nobody likes Zimmerman/Morse/Strasburg.
This kid and coke are going to have a long and intimate relationship.
Yeah, but they don't play for the Nats (yeah, I'm that guy, cmd).IDGAF who he roots for. He could have worded it better I guess, whatever. He needs a handler or something. Sort of a de-douchitizing filter.
