PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It didn’t take long for disgruntled Philadelphia Phillies fans to voice their frustrations about Bryce Harper. Just two months into the season, the $330 million man has been hearing the boo birds at Citizens Bank Park.
It’s obviously not a majority of Phillies fans who are unhappy, but there has been a sizable enough portion who have voiced their displeasure that the national media took notice.
The main issue behind the frustrations has been Harper’s high strikeout rate. He’s struck out 63 times in 207 plate appearances, whiffing just over 30% of the time.
