Even Bryce Harper’s wife is trolling the Braves after the Phillies latest win.
During game 2 of the NLDS, Harper suffered a lapse in judgment in the 9th inning while running the bases that ended up sealing the game for the Atlanta Braves.
After the game, Braves’ Orlando Arcia reportedly teased Harper over the blunder by yelling “Atta boy Harper” in the clubhouse.
On Wednesday, Harper got his revenge on Arcia by hitting two massive home runs and staring down the Braves shortstop while running the bases.

Despite trolling Arcia, Harper says none of his antics are personal, and he’s just having fun.
“It’s a game. It’s fun. It’s a lotta fun. That’s what it’s all about.”
“Just trying to set the tone at home,” Harper said. “There’s nothing like playing in front of this fan base. That’s a really good team over there, Elder had a great year. We just tried to put pressure on them early. [Phillies starter Aaron] Nola went out there and did his job. Really good win.”
