    I used to be on the Harper Hate Train because of all the fights, arguments, ejections, etc., but I agree he's definitely a lot less hateable now. I think most of that tbh is just.. growing up. Coming into the league at 19 years old would be tough for anyone, let alone someone with as much raw pure talent as Harper. I think the very end of the video summed it up correctly: support. Too many kids, not just in baseball, get told they're the hottest shit to ever be shat, and they let it get to their head and start feeling like the world owes them something. And maybe in some cases it even SHOULD, but that attitude of EXPECTING it is what leads to the downfall of so many. The fact that Harper had that solid support and a good upbringing by his parents is the key to his continued success.
    Harper is one of the best baseball players of the decade, possibly ever, but what makes him more likeable now is just that he's... real. He'll tell you if he fucks up, and he'll try to make it better. Can he be a bit hot headed at times, sure, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I hope more people join me in jumping off the hate train because Harper is genuinely one of the faces of the game now, and that's nothing but a good thing.

      As a Braves fan I was a certified Harper hater for years. But now I see him as a guy that leads his team and shows them how to play the game right. He's calm when he needs to be, brash when he needs to be, takes accountability when he should, shows pure hustle, and is the perfect example of a team leader.
      I still hate Harper. But not because I still think he's a whiny teenager who needs to earn his keep or learn his place in the league. Now I hate him because he's a top 10 player in the league and every damn thing I wish was on my team.

    @backsgl 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    The real villains are where they always were: off the field. Jerry Reinsdorf, Jeffrey Loria, Dick Monfort, John Fischer, and other infamous owners come immediately to mind. However you could also extend that to guys like Bud Selig for how he handled some of the numerous scandals during his tenure as commissioner. I would personally label whoever is behind the massive push for sports betting as a villain, not because this never happened before but for how deeply it's been integrated into coverage of sports in general.
    Back to Harper, and the moment I knew he couldn't just be the douchebag his reputation suggested: when he signed with Philadelphia he switched his number to 3. When asked why he said that Roy Halladay should be the last Phillie to wear 34. Keep in mind that Halladay had died in 2017 and this was in 2019. The Phillies officially retired that number in 2021, though in 2018 they had officially suspended the number in tribute. Harper had the opportunity to maintain his number. He chose to honor a fallen legend instead.

    Nowadays you have owners who actually care about the game and pay to get the best talent, and it forces all the other owners to do the same if they want any fans to stick around. It keeps the players happy, and therefore the fans happy. Gone are the days of owners using the players as cash cows and the ones that still do, like in Oakland, are the villains now. Fans aren’t as stupid as they were in 1994

Turned it around completely in San Diego and is one of the most respected players now.

    As to Harpers apparent lack of hustle, what kind of idiot flogs himself for a base he will never reach in time? He's not fast anyway, but noone is beating that ball to the bass. No-one. Not in MLB. Maybe at highschool you could score a base hit that way, but not in MLB

    For a while, it was surprising and funny to see players being friendly to opponents during a game. Now though, I find it annoying. MLB has a huge lack of true rivalries, one of the most fun aspects of watching sports. I get that players don't want to spark artificial hatred; but the least they could do is not actively destroy our immersion of fierce competition and storylines.
    When I see two stars on opposite teams chatting it up and laughing at first base, it feels in that moment like the sport is for them and not for us. It's like we're watching a bunch of rich guys playing for stats who don't feel the heat of competition because they're rich, and don't share the fans' passion for defeating storied rivals. There's a disconnect.

    I will never forgive Machado for what he did to Pedroia, pretty much ending his career with a too hard slide into 2nd base. I don't like him or his attitude. In the series against the Dodgers, he got into it with some players in the Dodgers' dugout after he threw a ball at their dugout. Bregman is another one I find arrogant...and he cheated in 2017. But none of these players are equal to Bonds, A-Rod, Rose, Ty Cobb, etc. No one is universally hated (except by their own team) anymore. And that's sad.

      He didn't "turn it around" you just lowered your standards.

    I assume he just accepted he couldn't seem as tough after the pathetic helmet throw. If he rifled that thing into the pitcher's ribs, he'd be at Lex Luthor status right now

    Bonds will always be my favorite player.EVERYONE was roided to the Gils during that period, but he was special, you can’t teach his hitting ability and no amount of roids would give you his ability to make consistent contact like he did. Also, I guarantee you every professional athlete today is on some sort of cycle. I was a high level D1 athlete and, even at that level, most of the guys were on something. It is so easy to pass the testing protocols while juicing.

    Ohtani is the new villain. Mainly for being a coward and joining the Dodgers along with the gambling scandal.

    It probably would be Trevor Bauer if he was still in MLB- regardless of your opinions on his personal issues beyond that he’s a polarizing person who is a total dickhead on the field, though from what I’ve seen he’s a much better teammate now than he used to be.

    Pete Rose was and is a bum, but Ray Fosse wanted that collision as much as Rose. He was just mad he lost and got injured.
    He whined afterward saying it was only an exhibition game and shouldn’t matter. Well, it mattered enough to you to block the plate.

    Your bias against Bonds is a bit much. He deserves his place in the Hall. Steroids don’t improve hand-eye coordination nor does it give you a level of patience or ability to read a pitch at the plate that will never be replicated
