Watch: Bryce Harper stares down Orlando Arcia after huge home run

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 10/11/23

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 three-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, his 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.

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

The reported comments did not go unnoticed by those in Philly, with fans at Citizens Bank Park booing 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.
