Amy Lawrence discusses the sports world, focusing on the month of June as a transitional period between winter sports and the start of baseball season. She also touches on the importance of financial literacy and how the Greenlight app can help parents teach their kids about money management.

Chris, Courtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie are back and continue to defy expectations in all their endeavors. So get ready to go behind the glitz and glamour of the most iconic family on television.

The all new season of the Kardashians is now streaming on Hulu. If you were to rank your sports months, where would June fall? I know we crowned two champions in the month of June. Plus we have multiple drafts, basketball and hockey.

Baseball gets closer to its mid season and you really get to know who the teams are for better or for worse. We've got the US Open golf in June. We have the French Open Championship.

So the final week of the French Open in June. We have racing, of course, on all surfaces with all different cars. We'll have NFL OTAs. We have WNBA.

We obviously have MLS and all kinds of Euro leagues and different footy leagues around the country, if that's what you're into. But I kind of feel like it's a fairly nondescript month. Is it weird that I view June as a transitional month? Also, how are we talking about June? That is crazy. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that this year has gone really fast, partly because of everything going on in my life.

It seems like it's going really fast. But yeah, June, we're about to get into month number six of 2024. And we still have a poll up asking you on a scale of one to 10, how much do you miss football?

I will be honest, I did not vote 10. And the only reason is because we work our arses off during football season. Really, a lot of free time goes away during football. My husband actually brought that up on the Wednesday evening because it was a night without basketball. And just the one hockey game. It was a pretty sweet performance for the Edmonton Oilers to tie the Western Conference Finals.

But it was a relatively quiet night compared to what we've had recently. Now there's plenty of baseball headlines that we'll get to. Bryce Harper's not mad, but he's mad. But he says he's not mad. A Mets reliever, I may have misunderstood, we have all made misunderstood, but it sounds like he said he was playing on the worst bleeping team in the MLB.

And then when he was asked to clarify, I don't know if he understood the reporter's question or not, but he just, eh. Anyway, baseball has certainly got some drama. Corey Seeger, he's red hot, even before the temperatures get red hot. But I feel like it's a transition month from the end of hoops and hockey into the dog days, if you will. And we all look forward to summer. I shouldn't say all.

I won't speak for all of us. I prefer snow, myself. But there is an appeal to summer because it's quieter when it comes to the grind of this job.

And sports, just the fact that they never stop. Well, in summertime, it's a little bit quieter. And I relish those days and weeks before we get to football season. So I like the summer, plus it allows us to be creative.

We've had some of our quirkiest, goofiest, goofiest, favorite shows in summertime, just because we have more time to play with, if you will. And so we've asked you in a poll that's ongoing, three hours to go, you've got time. On a scale of one to 10, how much do you miss football? You can vote on our show Twitter at Amy After Hours, or you can find my Twitter, ALawRadio.

And then our Facebook page too. But I did not vote 10. Again, only because it's a grind. I love the NFL. I love football season. It just requires all of me. It runs my life.

We have our differences. Last year, it ran my life while I was trying to navigate a long distance relationship. I'm hoping it's a little bit smoother now that it's not long distance anymore.

Because there was a lot trying to juggle two relationships, two loves. Don't worry, babe. You are my first love. So I voted for the option of seven to nine. On a scale of one to 10, I miss you NFL football, seven to nine. Probably closer to a seven, because I'm okay waiting.

I do miss the games, but I'm okay waiting till they return. Jay, what was your vote? I vote 10.

You voted 10? I miss football. Even though right now your favorite hockey team is actually pursuing a cup, you're still really missing football. Yeah, I mean, no, the Rangers run is fantastic. It's a blast. Yeah, the NBA playoffs, even though one was a sweep and one's 3-1, they've all been pretty good games so far, these finals, the conference finals.

So they've been enjoyable as well. But football just has that buzz. And it's just kind of like any team that makes a move in football is a headline, is a story, is a big deal, and everyone gives up like football cares about it. So it just kind of has that energy and that buzz that other sports maybe don't have as much. So I just think I like just the energy in the air during football season, in the sports world at least.

Me too. There's a different type of buzz, a different type of interest and anticipation when it comes to football. That is true. And here on our sports radio show, as well as the other shows I've done on other networks, trust me when I say it's just different. It's different during football.

People are engaged in a different way. And as Jay points out, whatever the headline, all football fans care, right? You can have a story in Seattle and it resonates in Florida. You can have a story that takes place surrounding the Cardinals and Patriots fans care. There's not going to be your average NFL fan who will say we don't care about that team because every game matters and because the storylines are all intertwined and because it's so competitive. And what have we tried to drill into your heads every year? Half the playoff field turns over, which means there's always hope for your team.

You can go worst to first, but you can also go first to worst. And there's awesome surprises every year. This year the Houston or this past year the Houston Texans. What an amazing run by them and now it sets them up for something even bigger in 24.

How about the Jordan Love story? We waited and we waited and we waited and we waited and the Packers actually made the playoffs as he and the and the rest of the team, primarily on offense, but he and the rest of the team really came together and proved there's life after Aaron Rodgers. Bums. Jealousy is not a good look on you, Aaron. Although jealousy, green with envy.

Jets are green. I got you. I got you.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. So Jay and I are on the heavy side in terms of missing football. I guess the other thing I could say, and I did get this response from a few people on social, we can't miss you if you never truly go away.

And that is the case with football. It doesn't ever truly go away. But I guess it felt for me like I got a break during the honeymoon because I left right after the draft. Boom. Gone. Two weeks. No football.

And so I did kind of get a respite. I know for a lot of people who come to people who cover the NFL, July is their month. Like late June into July.

Around July 4th is the time when people take off. But as we say, it's all consuming. Once it comes back, there's no breather for the people who cover the sport. People who play the sport.

People who coach the sport. I mean, just think of like our schedule, how we sleep during the day. And then every night or every morning when we go to sleep and wake up in the afternoon, it's a new football story. It's guaranteed. Check the headline.

There's going to be something there that we didn't see happening in the morning. And no matter what team, it's without fail. Without fail, as Jay points out, it's a behemoth and it never stops moving. It never stops eating up real estate and headlines. And it does definitely power the sports world. And as I tell my students, football drives the bus in the United States. We agree on nothing in this country except for football. And dogs. And dogs. We've added that.

It's my latest addendum. But we're not going to spend this entire show talking about football, only to say that June is a month where it's relatively quiet when it comes to the NFL. So I almost look at June like a transitional month. From spring to summer, transitioning out of the, are you ready? Winter sports. Hoops and hockey are considered winter sports, which is sort of funny. Anyway, we leave the winter sports behind. We kind of get into the belly of the baseball season on into summer. And then before you know it, there's back to school sales. So yeah, June for me is a transitional month. I was wondering, among sports months where you would rank June, do you like the wide open smorgasbord? Do you like a little bit of everything?

A dash of this, a pinch of that. Also mixing in graduations for high school kids or gosh, kindergarteners, moving up to first grade. So it's the end of school for a lot of people, not everyone. Some students are already out at the end of May, depends on what part of the country you're in. But the end of school for everyone at some point in June, I know my Sunday school kids are just jealous as all get out that there's parts of the country where the kids are already out of school. But I remind them, those students, for instance, in Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, some of these, Arizona, some of the places in the south, they start in early August.

Would you like to start in early August? Because many of you have family vacations in August. And so June, I don't know how high it would rank on my list of sports months.

It might actually rank about six, which is the number of the month it is, six on the calendar. But I'll say for me, October is my favorite month of the year when it comes to sports. April is probably my second favorite, although sometimes March and April kind of run together.

It's like watercolors on a piece of paper and they just all blend together when they're too runny, they're just too watery. But I do love that we have Final Four in April, the Masters in April, and the start of the Hoops and Hockey playoffs in April. The draft is generally in April for the NFL, so there's a lot happening in April. But I'll go October 1, April 2, huh, I don't, January maybe? January 3, Jay's looking at me like, ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me. January is what came to my mind. Why is January on your list? NFL playoffs, college football, national championship usually on New Year's Day. Or close enough. The NHL winter classic starts off the year usually the last decade or so.

Let's see what else we got. Just in the Hoops and Hockey or in the swing of the regular seasons. Yeah, it's a lot right there. That's true. And in February, it feels like other than college basketball building up to March Madness, well selection show first, and conference play in college Hoops, there's not as much outside of Super Bowl, and the NFL likes it that way.

They really like it that way. I mean, you've got regular season NBA, NHL, not quite to the playoffs, so you do have spring training. All-star games usually maybe.

That's true. So the Braves usually a week break between. Yeah, so they kind of take some time off in there. Olympics usually come in February, though, when there is an Olympics. Winter, right.

And that's something that does help like the dead of summer. The dog days of summer is when there are Olympics. So looking forward to the Olympics this summer. When we get toward now, the US team does not have to qualify for the World Cup the next round, which is helpful. But I do love the build up to the World Cup as well.

You know what? I used to love, love, love in June the Belmont Stakes, especially when there was the hope for a Triple Crown winner. But horse racing makes me sad right now. It's just different. The allegations of cheating and the horses that are getting sick and some of the other tragedies, the use of drugs and trainers getting banned. I'm having a hard time. It feels to me, and it's not fair to say this is the case with every operation or horse barn, horse trainer. It feels so unethical right now. And it's the horses who end up getting hurt.

And I just can't put my whole heart into it the way that I used to. Going back to the couple of Triple Crowns that we had, American Pharaoh was 15. American Pharaoh was 15. Sounds about right. Yeah. And then was it two years later? You know, I get all my dates blended together sometimes just because the years, the years are, they're definitely stretching on now from the Infinity Sports Network. So I do remember American Pharaoh actually where I was when I was watching American Pharaoh. So that was 2015.

And now I'm looking up. 18. It was 18? Justified. That's right.

Okay. So 15 and 18. So we had two in the span of four years, which was amazing. Because for a lot of us, we'd never seen one. The ones previous to those were back in the 70s, where we had three actually in the 70s.

Secretary at Seattle Slough affirmed, for those of you who remember. Yeah. So that's taken away from it a little bit. I love NASCAR still, but it's also in a strange transition. I'm not getting as excited about golf right now. And I told our guest from Paris last night, our tennis guest, Christopher Clary.

If you missed that conversation, it's great. It's a little bit about the transitional nature of tennis right now. It's just so different for me. Like many of you who lost interest in golf, you tried post-Tiger Woods, but the anticipation for tournaments is just not there when he's not competing. I feel the same way right now about men's tennis with no Roger and no Rafael Nadal. With no Federer and no Nadal, my passion is waning. I love the game of tennis.

I've been covering it since, gosh, very early in my career. I worked for the Tennis Hall of Fame for a decade, hosting tournaments for them and doing PR and media work for them. So I love tennis. Steffi Graf is one of my all-time favorite athletes.

So is John McEnroe. You want to talk about being starstruck. There are very few athletes in the world that I would get nervous around, but the one Hall of Fame dinner where he was participating in a tournament and I was seated next to him at the head table because I was the emcee of this particular event. It was all I could do not to shake. That's what happens when I get nervous.

I get kind of shaky. Anyway, he was normal as normal can be. He was worried about spilling his raspberry dressing on his white pants. Believe it or not, he was talking about his kids. He just, yeah, not a word about tennis. Everything else was about dinner.

So it was pretty incredible. Anyway, I love tennis. It just feels so strange to me right now.

No Serena. We're waiting for some young Americans to rise up, but I miss Roger Federer a lot. It's a little bit like when Pedro Martinez retired from baseball. For a while, I felt like a fan without a country because for so long I had just rooted for anywhere Pedro played. I was all about Pedro and I still miss Pedro Martinez. I felt that way when John Elway retired too, although I've been a Broncos fan since age 13. So that didn't change and hasn't changed. I know bag over my head, there's not much to cheer about for the past.

Oh gosh. Well, since Super Bowl 50, there's not been much to cheer about. And I don't like this coach either.

I like Huskies. There's so many things I do not like about my team right now. Jay was at the same thing about the Brooklyn Nets for years, he would have said through the whole KD Kyrie and James Harden. By the way, newsflash, James Harden's unhappy again. Oh, I saw that.

Oh my gosh. I will never take back one negative thing I said about that dude. I'm not a system player. I am a system.

You are a system that needs to be buried. In his defense though, every year when he does get angry and asks out and say he's unhappy, gets what he wants. More money. Seems to always work out for him. He gets to the team that he wants to go to. He gets to play with who he wants to play with. So anytime he gets unhappy, why wouldn't he complain?

He gets whatever he wants every time. It's gross. It's a system that needs to be retired.

It's an archaic system that needs to be retired. So yeah, what do you think? Where does June rank among your favorite sports months?

How would you put? Because many of you have responded to our football poll saying it's baseball season. Awesome. So then what's your favorite sports month?

Which one's the most intriguing? Now coming up on this edition of the show, we're not going to talk baseball with Karen Garigian, but she's been doing double duty back and forth between the Celtics and their run to the NBA finals and then the Patriots in a brand new era. And I mean brand new, though there is a Belichick in the building.

How about that? Belli still in the building. It's interesting stuff. She will join us from Mass Live Sports in Boston.

Our phone number is 855-212-4227. On Twitter, A Law Radio. Please take our poll.

A couple hours left to go there. It's been pretty interesting to see your reaction. And then on our Facebook page as well.

Always glad to connect with you. Thanks again for checking out my blog lately and the photos that I've shared around, gosh, the last couple weeks around Memorial Day and a little bit from the honeymoon, though I still have not finished that blog. Goodness, mom's blog hijacked my writing ideas. I thought the next blogs I wrote would be about the honeymoon and then also sharing wedding photos because I am planning to do that. Now I think I'll just do it on our six month anniversary. But I do have photos to share with you from these first six months of being married. But mom, mom came first. So if you haven't read that blog post, it's up on both Twitter and Facebook.

And many of you have sent such kind words and messages to mom that I've been reading them to her or sharing them with her. Coming up, did he say he's playing on the worst bleeping team in the MLB? And Bryce Harper's mad, but he's not mad.

I mean, he can explain it to you. Corey Seeger's on a tear. Paul Skeens? Is he already won the Rookie of the Year?

Maybe. Oh, I love watching him pitch. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on the Infinity Sports Network.

Additional terms apply is nine to three. And the show rolls on here in New York. This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. On the Dodgers radio network, bombs away for Shohei Ohtani and really for the Mets, especially once they got to the bullpen of the, should I say Mets, once the Dodgers got to the bullpen of the Mets, they had six runs in the eighth inning. And that includes the 14th home run for Shohei Ohtani. So after LA dropped five in a row, they got a bit of a respite when Dodgers Mets was postponed. Memorial Day, right? That was the day that it was postponed.

The game was postponed at Citi Field. And since then, three in a row. So sweeping the New York Mets.

And it was sort of comical. Producer Jay and I were having a conversation on the phone and Jay and I were talking about various storylines and topics for tonight's show. And somehow we got on baseball and just thinking about the highs and the lows. And right now you've got the best team in the game, best team in the league playing in the East. And so we're just kind of throwing things out there and somehow got to Mets and Dodgers. And he said something about it being 3-3, but don't worry, they will blow it. And minutes later looks at the score and indeed the Mets did blow it. The Dodgers had six runs in the eighth.

Now the eighth produced some fireworks of a different kind for the fans at Citi Field. Here's the 2-1. Breaking ball down and in. Check the swing.

No swing. It's three balls and one strike. And now Lopez has just been tossed, Howie. Ramon DeJesus at third. The third base umpire just tossed the pitcher.

Well, you know what? I understand Lopez is upset, but you can't do that because now they've got to get somebody up in the bullpen again. Carlos Mendoza races out to try to rescue his frustrated pitcher. Lopez yells a little something out towards Adrian Johnson as he heads towards the Mets dugout. And now Carlos Mendoza's got to use another pitcher here, but now Jorge Lopez has just flung his glove into the crowd.

He threw his glove about four rows back behind the Mets dugout and between McNeil's bat slam yesterday after popping up and that display for Jorge Lopez. I think the frustration that engulfs the New York Mets at the moment is quite obvious. So there you get the perspective from Howie Rose on the Mets radio network. So decidedly different tone between the Dodgers and the Mets radio broadcast. And it makes sense the Mets are struggling.

They're 16 games out of the Phillies if I think the top of the NL East. They're 11 games below.500 just coming off the sweep and in this particular instance Jorge Lopez gets ejected and I felt like it was a pretty quick trigger. I got to be honest from the third base umpire it felt like the disagreement over a checked swing or Lopez expressing his disagreement over a check swing did not warrant ejection. I know you're not supposed to argue balls and strikes that's kind of the no-no but it didn't look like or sound like Lopez was that demonstrative in expressing his opinion nor did it look like he insulted or showed up the umpire which can be the no-no. But DeJesus chucks him and then you've got Carlos Mendoza who comes out to try to get his pitcher. The situation escalates Lopez is frustrated not only because of the way the Dodgers have broken it open but because he just got ejected now now he's walking off the field and he pulls his shirt out of his pants and he takes his glove and he chucks it underhand is a pretty impressive chuck underhand straight up in the air over the net that protects fans from foul balls and then down the other side into the crowd.

So he himself kind of lost his temper himself kind of lost his temper again I don't know that DeJesus needed to be ejecting him there it felt ridiculous a little bit too sensitive if you will but Lopez lost his mind and afterwards made more headlines by what he had to say about his team at least it sounds like he's ripping his own team after saying I'm not changing anything I'm not taking it back. I don't regret it I think I've been looking the worst team in probably in the whole f***ing MLB so you know whatever happened happened so whatever they want to do I'll be tomorrow here if they want me you know whatever they want to do so I'm gonna keep doing this thing you know so I'm healthy I'm whatever you know I'm whatever to do you know I'm I'm ready to come back tomorrow if they want me to be here so I'll be here. Okay so we can hear it again at the beginning it sounds like he says I'm on the worst bleeping team in the MLB and they did want him to clarify but maybe you hear it for yourself one more time. I don't regret it uh I think I've been looking the worst team in probably in the whole f***ing MLB. Or did he say the worst teammate? Did he say I've been looking like the worst teammate in all of the bleeping MLB? I don't regret it uh I think I've been looking the worst team in probably in the whole f***ing MLB. I don't know I can't tell if he says team or teammate. It's tough.

It is. Anyway the reporters tried to clarify what he was saying. Just to clarify what what you said just because I didn't fully understand did you say I'm on the worst team is that is that what you had said? Yeah probably it looked like then that they were embarrassed by you is that what you yeah they do. I don't know if he understood the question from the reporter or if something's lost in translation and and I'm not really referring to the actual language barrier just the reporter didn't quite get what he was saying he didn't understand what the reporter was clarifying maybe that's not what he meant but within minutes he was designated for assignment as in see ya wouldn't want to be ya. Francisco Lindor immediately after that calls a players only team meeting that lasts for about a half hour and according to guys on the roster in the clubhouse they were able to talk everything out vent some of their emotions get back to a place where they're accountable for what's happening and while Lopez chucking his glove into the stands is certainly a bad look and it's unprofessional at the very least it's unprofessional not everybody was ready to kick him to the curb. Jorge's a good guy inside I mean deep down he knows he shouldn't have done that.

you know one thing is to once in a while obviously but not not what we saw today i understand that uh guys will get frustrated at times and they will show emotions but uh like i said no i'm not going

implosion with the new york met new york met and with jorge lopez whether or not he was referring to his team as the worst in mlb or whether he was talking about himself as a teammate that's the worst in mlb it just adds to the mess it just stirs it up even more that's one of the worst teams in the league i mean there are reporters that were standing right in front of him and they're quoting him all the same way the worst team and probably the whole bleeping mlb i'm thinking his frustration got the best of him because to be fair not actually the worst team in all of major league baseball close but not actually the worst the white socks hold that honor if we're being accurate yes the chicago white socks have 15 wins the miami marlins in the same division have 20 wins as do the colorado rockies that would mean the new york mets are the fourth worst team in the whole bleeping mlb to everybody let's go mex let's go met oh wait i forgot about the angels angels angels they've got 21 wins so that means let's re-rack here they're the fifth worst team oh that's better by win total in the whole bleeping mlb okay goodness do you ever have one of those days where you wish you could just erase the whole thing and start over just the whole thing just erase it flush it like it never happened aren't there movies like this 50 first dates uh eternal sunshine of the spotless mind aren't those two movies where the day before groundhog day groundhog days yeah but i think 50 first dates it's the same thing because she can't control that like i don't think she wants that in that one she doesn't know right yeah she has no idea she just relives the same day over and over and over again sort of just because she can't remember anything that happened the day before right something to do with a brain injury or something along those lines groundhog day he just does the same thing over and over and over and over again that's bill murray right that's bill murray happy death drew it's drew barry more in 50 first dates isn't it and adam sandler yeah drew and adam and then eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is one where like everything's great all the time i think it's jim carrey right yes it is but i can't remember who the female is but it's a little bit of a twist on that where it's always because she takes something or she eats something or she does some something to herself where she's perpetually in a state of happiness or like nothing's ever wrong kate winslet oh my gosh it was kate winslet it was kate winslet wow wow yeah jim carrey and kate winslet what an odd combo i haven't seen it a long time i didn't love it i thought it was kind of a may i get the premise behind it and these days with some of the headlines in the world that might be a an option that americans or people around the world would consider actually but i didn't i'm yeah i didn't love that movie groundhog day was funny just because that's a classic that is a classic and i did like 50 first dates although it was kind of sad it was sad but do you like figures it out in the end it's true right it's true would you call that a rom-com yeah definitely yeah definitely a rom-com it was a good one she pulled it off pretty well just the same flighty every day yeah it was good happy flighty every day i mean adam sandler's classic seriously happy gilmore of course we're making a second one now apparently it's confirmed sandler or no sandler with shooter mcgavin no way netflix is doing it that's really funny could be great could be terrible we'll see true if they do it the same way they did top gun maverick with the prototype but a different storyline a different plot then yeah it could be terrific i would imagine it wouldn't stray too far from like the original idea right same joke same one-liners i mean adam sandler a lot of his movies are pretty written the same way too in terms of like his jokes it's probably the worst bleeping team in the mlb i believe that qualifies him for a potential hall of flame induction i don't regret it uh i think i've been looking the worst team in probably in the whole mb i don't know though i keep thinking he said teammate i've been looking like essentially i've been looking like the worst teammate in all of bleeping mlb what guy would that's the thing is on a team team mate on a team sport what guy would ever say i'm on the worst team in all of i don't know i i also didn't think anyone would throw their glove into the stand that's true over the netting especially i mean he had to like it was a it was an underhand chuck imagine catching that that's yours right yeah absolutely it's gotta be finders keepers losers weepers baby okay coming up at top of that division the phillies they also had a little bruhaha a little drama but bryce harper would tell you he's not actually mad you mad bro it's after hours with amy lawrence you are listening to the after hours podcast one ball two strikes to harper the pitch oh wow he gives a look to kyle harrison he was not happy he said harper's frustrated at this point i think with himself and now at this point with kyle harrison he said something to me he helped uh something out to the mound sure did now having a conversation with the catcher kurt kisale two balls two strikes two outs top of the fourth runners at second and third harrison kicks the two-two pitch way inside did it hit him i think that might have gotten the bat i don't know what it got it was way inside and now the uh folks are gonna clear the benches are coming out harper is having words kyle harrison in front of the mound and now the giants bench we're gonna have uh here come the bullpets everybody getting involved now price harper is not happy this is after hours with amy lawrence that is i think kind of par for the course for bryce harper and maybe it wasn't so much about kyle harrison throwing inside a couple of times it was more about the fact that he was trying to light a fire under his own rear end a little bit frustrated the way that things are going and choosing to express that frustration in the form of escalation i stared right at him it's after hours with amy lawrence the calls there on the phillies radio network this is the best team in baseball 21 games above 500 just shy of 40 wins now but bryce harper gets thrown at i mean i want to say thrown at that's that's misleading kyle harrison goes high and tight on back-to-back pitches in the fourth inning the game between the giants and the phillies this one taking place in the bay area and i certainly understand why you don't want a guy twice playing fast and loose with your noggin it can be a little disconcerting now we know there's always some games misship to it and i don't mean guys want to hit other guys in the head of course just they want to kind of back them up off the plate a little bit and and bryce harper wasn't mad i just feel like this was the way he could express his frustration not that different from jorge lopez you get in the face man it's just it's not fun so he didn't mean to you know just singer's out i wasn't really that mad i just that was a bomb to play that's baseball yeah yeah um yeah i think i think our our guys just were a little bit upset that came up in a couple times on harp he wants to perform for the for the fans and first teammates when he doesn't he gets emotional yeah see that's the thing is is bryce harper is an emotional guy i know because i'm an emotional girl bryce harper is an emotional guy and in this particular case he just yeah this is maybe how i get fired up thing is in baseball you're contractually obligated to come to a player's defense if it appears as though he's taking exception to a pitcher throwing high and tight well then it has to turn into a benches clearing conversation have you ever noticed it's one of my favorite things to watch in the dead of summer when guys are exhausted a long road trip a conversation like this breaks out and they take an hour to get to the mound wherever the the rest of the team is it's after hours with amy lawrence the wait is over that's right season five of the kardashians is here just
