SAN FRANCISCO — As an irate Bryce Harper charged toward the mound, Buster Posey just stood and watched from behind home plate.
And when the Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants cleared their benches Monday and punches flew both ways, the All-Star catcher did his best to remain just outside the fray.
Not where some expected to find the Giants team leader with his pitcher, Hunter Strickland, exchanging head shots with Harper.
“Posey did NOTHING to stop Harper from getting to his pitcher,” former major league pitcher Dontrelle Willis wrote on Twitter.
