Bryce Harper has custom Mets-colored cleats and batting gloves as part of his personal collection of rivalry gear

Bryce Harper was rocking custom Mets-colored cleats and batting gloves in Queens last night as a part of his personal collection of rivalry gear. It was interesting, to say the least.

Meh. Gotta be honest, I don’t really understand the point here from Bryce Harper. The guy typically crushes these types of things but wearing the Mets colors on your gloves and cleats is a bizarre choice.

I guess he’s supposed to be mocking them? I really don’t know. It’s also hard to mock a team that knocked you out of the postseason last year, right? I mean hell, the Phillies have now lost 8 straight games up in Queens.

Disgusting Behavior: Phillies-Mets delay game for nearly 20 minutes because of… microphones that have been there since 2017

I don’t think now is the time to start wearing their gear. Bryce Harper looked like he was enduring step one of a humiliation ritual last night. Step two came when Alec Bohm started complaining about microphones that have reportedly been there since 2017 and step three arrived after they lost 13-3.

Phillies smacked around by Mets, Cristopher Sánchez tagged for season-high 6 runs in 13-3 Loss

In the end, Bryce Harper can wear whatever he wants. I just want to win baseball games and I definitely do not want to give the Mets any false sense of hope by allowing them to climb back into the division race. Figure it out.

Not sure if I like this release, Bryce

Bryce Harper debuted a 3 train shoe today with @UnderArmour

Fitting, because the 3 train also doesn’t want any part of Queens. #lfgm #lgm pic.twitter.com/ob3dksp340
