Although the Nationals beat the Cubs on Sunday, Bryce Harper had reasons to be upset. The outfielder is struggling right now and he ended up going 0-3 against Chicago. After his second at-bat, which ended in a strikeout, Harper vented his frustration on his bat… by squatting and slowly applying pressure against it with his arms.
I mean, you don’t want to inadvertently bruise anything but there has to be better and more emphatic ways to express frustration than failing to break a bat while looking rather constipated.
