Bryce Harper, the wunderkind Nats hitter who no longer gets to swing his bat, thinks baseball isn't fun. He thinks there should be more self expression and that hitters should be allowed to whoop it up when they crush a pitch. Here's Harper:
"Baseball’s tired," Harper says in the lengthy piece, which was posted online on Thursday and will be on newsstands next week. "It’s a tired sport, because you can’t express yourself. You can’t do what people in other sports do. I’m not saying baseball is, you know, boring or anything like that, but it’s the excitement of the young guys who are coming into the game now who have flair. If that’s Matt Harvey or Jacob deGrom or Manny Machado or Joc Pederson or Andrew McCutchen or Yasiel Puig – there’s so many guys in the game now who are so much fun."
One of those guys who likes to express himself is Jose Bautista.
He just loves to express himself!
Who cares if he's showing up his opponents? HE IS HAVING FUN.
I know someone who cares.
Now THAT was fun. Let's watch it again.
Rougned Odor is HAVING SOME FUN YOU GUYS.
I don't know about you, but the Internet also seems to be having some fun!
THIS IS FUN.

Who knew that standing up for Playing The Game The Right Way could be so much FUN y'all!
I honestly have no idea what Bryce Harper is talking about.
Baseball seems plenty fun to me already.
