Bryce Harper needs to change his attitude, and I hope even him learned a lesson from yesterday's defeat by the Cardinals in the ninth inning with two outs. You do not celebrate until the end of the game. The Nationals acted as though they had won the game in the third inning, but baseball is a nine inning game. This is why the Nationals are disliked by major league baseball fans.
He also showed his complete lack of class and sportsmanship after he struck out on a pitch over his head in the ninth by grabbing his crotch and gesturing towards the Cardinals shortstop. He is the reason I rooted against the Nationals.
