Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Watch Samardzija and Morse collide head to head like two Disneylands in the snow. By far the best part. That was a lot of beef crashing into each other.

 

What a weak helmet throw. Almost as weak as your catcher standing there tinder swiping as the whole thing goes down.

 

If that's really "retaliation" for a playoff homer in 2014, what a chickenshit move by Strickland.

Harper's helmet toss, tho.

 

ESPN execs have to be creaming themselves. First Tiger's arrest. Now Harper's charge. And they still have LeBron for the rest of the week. All they need now is for Favre to start talking comeback.

 

Strickland got the best of that one. Add the terrible helmet throw and Harper comes off looking really bad.

 

I hadn't seen Strickland get a fairly decent shot before Harper, but he did.

Considering that fastball onto the hip was direct retaliation for Harper lighting up Strickland in the 2014 NLDS, I hope Harper gets nothing.

 

Harper needs a fucking haircut.

 

Maybe a cutoff pug t-shirt too.

Somewhere, Dean Palmer shakes his head. If you're gonna use the helmet, use the helmet.

 

Jim Parque!
