Bryce Harper stares down Orlando Arcia after huge home run

Bryce Harper stares at Orlando Arcia

Bryce Harper delivered in the postseason for the Philadelphia Phillies once again, and he made sure Orlando Arcia knew it.

Harper came up to the plate against Bryce Elder with runners on the corners and two outs as Game 3 of the NLDS between his Phillies and the Atlanta Braves was tied at one in the bottom of the third. The Phillies slugger jacked a ball down the middle out to deep right field for a huge 3-run home run to make it 4-1.

Harper admired his blast for a moment and then began his trot around the bases. As he headed toward second base, Harper’s eyes shifted to Braves shortstop Arcia.

Though the TBS broadcast team ignored what Harper had done while rounding second, multiple reporters made note of it. MLB also later released a video showing Harper looking at Arcia.

Arcia quickly became infamous in Philadelphia over what he said following Game 2. The Braves shortstop reportedly mocked Harper for being doubled off first base to end Game 2.

The reported comments from Arcia did not go unnoticed by those in Philly. Fans at Citizens Bank Park booed Arcia when he came to the plate in the second.

Arcia was also booed in pregame introductions. The Phillies have some extra juice now in the series, which was tied 1-1 after two games.
