Bryce Harper's days of sacrificing his body for his team are over. At least this early in the season.
The Nationals outfielder pulled up short of the wall in foul territory as he tried to make a catch on a fair ball in Saturday's game against the Cubs. That allowed two runs to score and gave Chicago a 7-5 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning.

But Harper had no regrets about his decision to play it safe.
"I’m not going to run into the wall, plain and simple," Harper said, via MASN Sports.
