They're trying to spin it with the story that basically everyone hates Hunter Strickland. Not good enough. You can't just stand there.
I also see Strickland getting a lot of crap for beaning Harper because he homered twice off Strickland in the playoffs two years ago, as if that makes his actions petty. Harper didn't just homer off of him. He homered, stared him down as he rounded the bases, and continued to yell out to the mound after returning to the dugout. I'd do exactly what Strickland did, and would have difficulty avoiding the temptation to stick it in his ear . . .
