13:34 “Mookies gonna stay with the dodgers” Bryce knew it before it even happened

[@ericolsonroofingandexteriors]

He’s grown a lot as a person last 7 years, understands Philly already. Go Phil’s

[@amschmidlkofer]

It's like he was a teenager or something when he came into the league

[@travis6694]

Aaron Schmidlkofer yeah or something like that, idk maybe?

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@@amschmidlkofer Not to mention the immense pressure put on him since his Sports Illustrated Cover days

[@DaileyShorts]

I've NEVER liked Bryce. His entire career ive thought he was cocky, selfish, arrogant and self centered. But. This interview has 100% changed my mind. Dude is fully aware who he is, what he wants and actually seems... loyal. He wanted to build n grow with not only a team but a city. I like him suddenly. I'm kinda speechless. Wow

[@catopwnzify]

lol.

[@MultiJag12]

Right same here it's funny how the media can blurr the lines into making you hate someone before you get to know them.

[@benl9775]

Players votes him most overrated in the league. Doesn’t dive for balls cause he doesn’t want to mess up his hair. WAR ranked 83rd in league last yr.

[@william5365]

Loyal? Weird cause Nationals were going to pay him

[@DaileyShorts]

@@william5365 except they REALLY WEREN'T. They wanted to stretch the payments onto Bryce's 60s. Let that sink in. You do the work now, we'll pay you THIRTY FIVE YEARS from now.... so sure they made an offer. A pathetic one that's almost insulting for most

dude Bryce is the friggin man. i loved how he pumped the crowd up after his homeruns just makes it more fun.

[@christianvoto5220]

wow Bryce really impressed me with this interview. He just gained a fan

[@Lukenix]

ah.. his acting is paying off on the ignorant masses.

[@Chooch4mvp]

Lukenix calling people ignorant, is rather ignorant

[@UsesofBatman]

Lukenix What has he ever done to you or anyone else?

[@Chooch4mvp]

Lukenix also, I don’t dislike the Washington fan base, but the Philly fans care sooooo much more about sports. Just look at the Eagles players, they take like 6 pay-cuts every offseason because they’d rather win in Philly, instead of somewhere else. Players love the atmosphere here. Philly fans can be sour, but that’s because we’re actually passionate

[@avgJones]

@@Chooch4mvp As Giroux said, "You never leave wondering how the fans felt about the game."

Bryce doesn't deserve all the hate he gets. He's the face of the MLB for a reason. Super happy for him.

[@damoneboyd9945]

You mean mike trout is the face

[@ItsNater]

Damone Boyd Nope. Don’t get me wrong, Trout is on another level when it comes to skill. But Harper is more popular and more focused on by the media.

[@tysimps6968]

Seems like he really wants to step it up and be the leader. Maybe he’ll be the team captain!

[@Biokrave]

Alot of outspoken and emotional players get misunderstood so its always nice to see them outside the game where you see their actual personality a little bit.

We better see Bryce at some eagles games with Trout

He asks Harper who turned down a 4 year 180 million dollar deal with the Dodgers if what other guys are going to get annually will bother him, obviously he was not worried about what he makes on an annual basis or he would have taken Dodgers deal. I have never been a Harper fan but this interview definately changed my opinion of the guy & hope he does well

[@damoneboyd9945]

Yea he did he want to top stanton contract

[@Ash12428]

Damone Boyd he literally just said he wanted years. He wanted to be somewhere for the rest of his career. 25 mil a year isn't abnormal for a guy like this. I don't think he cared about topping Stanton.

[@teddytesticles7761]

Brian Dailey doesn’t matter if you know what’s going to be asked or not, Clearly you prob didn’t go to college nor do research on how to give proper interviews etc or you’d know it’s a bad trend people use frequently when giving interviews or speeches

Ed Theman it’s a great thing that he’s a man first and a professional baseball player second. Last time I checked he isn’t claiming to be a professional speaker.

[@SantanaStreaming]

If I had a dollar for every time every any athlete says "uhhh" during an interview I'd be the richest person in the world 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DaileyShorts]

@@teddytesticles7761 actually i DID go to college, and I'll put my degree against yours any day. Just because it's "bad trend" as you call it doesn't mean it's not the usual in interviews. Bryce had zero time to prep for interview, had no idea what question was coming. So instead of hearing the question then starting blankley ahead for a few seconds, he's thinking on his toes and speaking as soon as words come to his mind. I guarantee if i sat with you, just asking random and unconnected questions that youd say "uhh" or "ummm" a few times too. At the end of the day, do you watch baseball for SPEECH related moments? Or do you watch to be entertained by a great game? Stop thinking all athletes have a college education and are just so highly intelligent. They are just athletes. Bryce actually dropped out of HS and struggled to get his GED, so why are you expecting him to speak with the polish of a professional speaker??? Why not just realize "he's not a highly intelligent guy, just happens to be good at baseball". Once you take people for what they are you tend to not be as disappointed. But im sure you're perfect, right? Gtfoh

[@nick11201119]

Ben L obviously he wouldn’t take a 1 mil a year contract. He said the money wasn’t the only reason for signing with a team. 20+ mil a year was the bonus of the long contract if you listened to what he said.

[@benl9775]

Nick Tuverson i guess when i made the post i put money and length if contract into the same category. Anything else about why he signed was bs.

Phillie is where ur heart is. You already made ur mind up. But u said u loved San Francisco the fan base, team. We diehard fans, SF Giants would of embraced u as Bryce the person n not just Bryce the baseball player Giants would of even more then Phillies. You say Phillies only made u feel that way by how Middleton talked to u, so u choose them. But our fans team city of San Francisco would stick with u no matter what. The entire SF Giants family. Look we have for Bumgarner the person n not just the player n Posey as well look how good the fans the city is with them as not just players, but human beings outside of baseball. SF Giants r passionate as can be. Never turn on u boo u nothing period. If u honestly meant that about Posey n entire SF Giants team, fan base n I know u do, cuz u said it in this interview n on Twitter a few other times of what a great organization Giants r u love the city n can’t wait to play in SF u wouldn’t of been a hypocrite n even bothered with the Phillies period. It don’t make sense cuz if it was money n I don’t c y, it wasn’t that much of a difference u would of got with SF then Phillie only couple million less cuz of California taxes still would of been a lot of money for 12 year 310 million was Giants offer. Still a lot a lot of money per year after California taxes. SF Giants family, fan base is way better then the Phillies n ur going to find that out the hard way Bryce Harper. U lied to a lot of ppl too as well. A true man is honest n keeps his word. You didn’t keep ur word n u weren’t honest so I want u to live with that, knowing u weren’t honest n didn’t keep ur word by signing with the Phillies. Go SF Giants!
