Seems like a bit of an overreaction on Rizzo's part. One qoute directed at Hamels would have been plenty.

I have absolutely no problem with what he said. Did you see the play? Hamels, who has pretty fucking good control, hit Harper in the back with his heater. I usually take up for the pitcher, but this seems a bit much. |

I have no problem with Rizzo being mad, I just think he protests too much. Mention that it was chickenshit and move on.

Hamels admitted that he drilled Harper on purpose, and for no other reason than he's a rookie former #1 pick? Did Harper do anything to "earn" the plunking other than simply existing? If not, Hamels is a total asshole.

He did nothing. I like how Harper got him back. Rather than charging the mound, he fucking stole home a few pitches later. Hamels is an asshole. "Old School" would drill a guy after one of the other guys did something to one of your teammates. |

I understand your point. It's like Rizzo said: Harper will probably be upset with Rizzo for sticking up for him. That, Mr. Hamels, is old school. |

Indeed. For all the bitching and moaning about Harper as he made his way thru the minors, I have yet to see anything that would give even a smidgen of creedence to any of the "complaints". Sounds like a lot of sour grapes. Hustle and class act, all the way. His steal of home is getting all the press today around here but these two plays are easily equal to that one: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=21226411&topic_id=&c_id=was&tcid=vpp_copy_21226411&v=3(the end of the clip is great. He knew exactly what he was going to do 5 steps up the first base line) http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=21225809&topic_id=&c_id=was&tcid=vpp_copy_21225809&v=3(Victorino's face at the end is priceless) |

The only complaint I have about Harper is his haircut.

I'm totally on board with Harper. Although I do wish he would get a haircut.

To be fair, he's 19 years old. |

5 game suspension for Hamels.
Werth is going to be out 10-12 weeks, so I'm guessing we are going to be seeing a lot of Harper.

5 game suspensions for a starting pitcher are the stupidest things ever. It should be however many days multiplied by 5. Hamels start gets pushed back a day! Oh, the horror! |

Right. He should have to miss five starts. |

It is the pay too, but the penalty seems light for an obvious drilling in the back. Five starts would have been more like it. FYB obviously went on the same basis as the one he gave Ubaldo Jiminez for drilling Tulowitzki in ST. I don't think that those are equivalent events. |

I disagree. It was a plunk in the back, not a shot to the head. If Hamels hadn't popped off too, it would've been handled on the field. To me, missing a start is fine for this.
