Bryce Harper Benched For "Lack of Hustle"

((HT: MASN Nationals/MLB))

Matt Williams, when he played in the majors, didn't take any crap from anybody and played all-out all the time.

He expects the same as manager of the Washington Nationals...

Slugger Bryce Harper didn't run out a ground ball in the bottom of the 6th inning in, what would amount to, a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Williams benched him for the dogging out...

Here's Williams discussing it after the game...


And Harper who, publicly, gets what happened...


Apparently, this is a one-and-done with Williams saying that Harper will be back in the line-up tomorrow...
