Add "Do not be ejected" to Bryce Harper's missed goals list for 2018

It was a year of shit for Bryce Harper, measured against expectations, and even though the Nationals were an even bigger disappointment than usual. He arrived in the second half, but he still finished the year with an average of -250, with a growing reputation as a guy who can be neutralized by the change.

He will be paid about $ 350 million this season, which will probably start in just 10 days, and I guess it will make him feel a lot better in his case. But while he continues to play the rope during this lost season, he obviously has a certain rage, far from any disappointment, and all the confrontations he has had with him. do not have had with referees. Harper was tossed on Thursday night for discussing bullets and strikes, and he dropped everything:

Paul Sewald spotted the inside corner with the help of receiver Kevin Plawecki, and Harper showed his disappointment at the call. Probably it was not enough to have him deported, but it seems that referee D.J Reyburn, who kicked out Harper on the way home, seems to have taken the lead. You can clearly hear Harper yelling "I did not say a damn word", but it's also very obvious on the video fact say a word, over his shoulder, just before he is thrown. It's hard to guess what this word could have been, but it was obviously more than what Reyburn was interested in allowing.

Bryce explained after his clash with Laz Diaz over the weekend that he had set as a goal for this season not to be kicked out of games, claiming in Saturday's post-match that "c & rsquo; Is my biggest thing this year, He has been thrown 10 times in his career before this season, but he was apparently persuaded by Davey Martinez to stay in the games and let Martinez do the advocacy for him, by getting himself based on the reasoning in the game. This one did not count much in this respect – the Nationals were down in the 12th and lost the match four lengths later.

One of the reasons why Harper became ballistic in Reyburn is that he set fire to one of Harper's latest achievable goals for 2018. There is one more point, I suppose. the schedule, giving him a decent shot at the head of 100 points produced for the first time in his career. When your team's season is fully filled, the individual goals are all that remains.
