Good Gawd

Harper last three games

8/12, 1 BB, 2 K, 6 HR, 12 RBI

.667/.692/2.167

Yes, that's a SLG of 2.167

That's completely insane.  You can't even do that in a video game.

Way to go, Bam Bam-Bino!

Phil Wood recalled on MASN's Nats Talk this morning that the Washington Senators' Frank Howard, in an amazing one-week stretch in the spring of 1968 (May 12–18), hammered 10 home runs in 20 at bats. He hit at least one in six consecutive games. His 10 home runs are also the most ever in one week. Top that, Bryce!

The 6 ft 7 inch/255 lb. Howard was named the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1960.

Bryce needs to send me $6,000 to celebrate his recent splurge of home runs.

Trade him now while his value is high.  This kid's a bust

Finally coming into his own. Wonder how those guys who called him overrated are feeling now

Yeah, I watch Harper day in and day out.... he just doesn't look as good as I thought he would be. He looks like a decent player, not a star, not really even an all star. Yes he's still young. I don't know. I'm not impressed by any means.

 

[Matugi]

now now, we know he was only kidding

[BeltwayBaseball]

Bryce Harper hit 3 home runs day before yesterday, 2 yesterday, and 1 today. So tomorrow, he'll either hit 0, or he'll hit infinity.

[NatsinFla]

Hey Nelson Cruz........Bryce is comin' for that ass!!!!

What Bryce is doing now is almost beyond comprehension.

On pace for 57.

[pazzo83]

On pace for 57.

He's 22 years old.

[Mathguy]

That is really not a relevant projection, given the low number of games so far.  Let's see where he is around the end of June.  But I hope you're right

On pace for 57.

Ok then, three.   (Forgot about Bass, he was good.)

On pace for 57.

The syrup is a bit much...

[Mathguy]

But when have you seen a batter hit many home runs in a few games, then keep up that pace for the whole season ?  I hope I'm wrong, but Harper's last 3 games are statistical outliers.  Let's look at HR total at the end of June, after 78 games instead of after only 31 games.

57.48

[Mathguy]

Agree.  But what started this ?  Some particular ritual ?

If I was projecting based on 3 games I would have said "On pace for 324."

Eh, I've seen the pie in the face and cooler bath so many times already I appreciate something different.
