MLB Fans Roasted Bryce Harper and the Phillies After Brutal Baserunning Blunder in 10th Inning
The Philadelphia Phillies seemed to be in a good position to possibly win their series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday but then the disaster struck and they were mocked by MLB fans and left town with a 6-4 loss in extra innings.
The really bad moment happened in the top of the 10th inning. With runners at second and third, Trea Turner lined out to right for the first out of the inning. Bryce Harper then showed everyone how not to run the bases as he was thrown out at home after the Pirates tried to double up the runner at second.

Not great!
The Pirates got out of that inning without giving up a run and then won the game in the bottom half of the frame.

Harper might be the worst player in the MLB no troll https://t.co/s2ZpUnMscU

Did Harper not think he could make it home? I’m curious to know his reason for not tagging!! https://t.co/jCF2SXkgCx
