It’s pretty safe to say that Atlanta Braves fans hate Bryce Harper.
And your name doesn’t need to be Chip Analyst to figure out that even though they’ve pretty much held the Washington Nationals outfielder in check…dude’s actions Saturday night aren’t going to help him any. I’d gamble on Harper getting booed out of the joint Sunday night.
It’s not quite Terrell Owens standing with his arms wide open on the Dallas Cowboys star, but, yeah…that’s Harper dragging his foot over the Braves “A” behind home plate. And, according to reports, he did it on three separate trips to the dish. Now, “desecration” might be a harsh word for a fan base that made the Tomahawk Chop a household word…but it does appear as the dude was attempting to do something, right?
Bryce Harper says he wasn’t trying to kick Braves’ A logo. “That’s the last thing on my mind when I’m coming to the plate. I have no idea.”

Remember last night when I said to keep some class when talking about @Bharper3407? No. Fuck that douchebag. Disrespectful mother fucker. — Chelsea (@ChelseaEllennn) August 10, 2014

Bryce Harper is an arrogant classless asshole who has no respect for anything.

If you’re curious about retaliation…Alex Wood is on the mound today for Atlanta while Harper will, presumably, start in right field and bat sixth.
Watch out for the inside pitch, bro.
