The Toronto Blue Jays may have recorded 23 hits in their 17-2 smashing of the Reds on Monday, but the two hits that had everyone talking around baseball involved Bryce Harper and Hunter Strickland.
Things got pretty dicey between the Nationals and Giants at AT&T Park Monday afternoon after Harper charged the mound, taking exception to Strickland beaning him with a fastball. Punches were thrown, jokes about Buster Posey's lack of involvement were made, and in the end both players were ejected. Like many other big leaguers, former Blue Jay Brett Lawrie chimed in with his thoughts on the brawl.
Not to be outdone by the punches that were thrown, Harper's errant helmet toss was perhaps the real highlight of the whole incident, as it didn't get anywhere close to its intended target. Of course, as fans pointed out, Lawrie knows a thing or two about helmet tosses gone wrong, having been handed a 4-game suspension back in 2012 after following accidentally hit an umpire with his lid during an argument.
Lawrie had a laugh at the comparison, retweeting the clip, while also sharing a meme that pretty much sums up the accuracy of Harper's helmet toss to perfection.
