US Presswire photo Ozzie Guillen says Bryce Harper disrespected him during Sunday's game. |
"I like this kid," Guillen said. "I think this kid is good for baseball. He's going to be better. But if this kid continues to do that [stuff], he might not make it. Because they're going to fool around with the wrong guy, and that wrong guy will kick his ass. He might not make it."
That was merely one of several verbal shots fired by Guillen at Harper and Nationals manager Davey Johnson one day after the relatively minor pine tar incident between the two clubs.
During the first inning of Sunday's game, Guillen noticed Harper had pine tar well up onto the barrel of his bat. Rule 1.10(c) prohibits the application of it any more than 18 inches from the bat's handle. Guillen says he informed plate umpire Marty Foster and Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and requested Harper use another bat.

Go Davey. "He told me: 'Get the [expletive] away from me.'"
What a pest. If he's so disapproving of Bryce, why doesn't that chicken s punk come after Bryce himself. We'll see how THAT one ends.
Wow, Ozzie desperately wants this rubber game doesn't he? Have to wonder if his job is on the line and if they might just be seriously considering bringing back McKeon again as an interim manager?
Jack Mckeon's still alive??
ozzie tries too hard. if he doesn't want to make a big deal of it, then STFU about it.
he just likes the sound of his own voice. particularly when it's spewing vulgarities.
I have my middle finger raised (intellectually) in tribute to Guillen. Does Guillen ever take a bath?? He always looks so.....dirty! Sorry Ozzie. I guess looks aren't everything. It's your intellect that counts.
Peric, while I expect you're right about the source of his desperation, this seems exceptionally pathetic even for Ozzie. After all the dumping he's already done on this team, what could possibly make him think that Ozzie throwing a fit about Ozzie supposedly being dissed is going to make any of his players care two [expletives] about winning for Ozzie?
I'd suspect they'd want to get blown out on the chance it would rid them of Ozzie that much sooner.
Ozzie....
You're a clown manager, Bro...
Yep. You're a natural born bully, Ozzie. Reality check: it isn't going to be harper who gets his ass kicked.
