Bryce Harper was held hitless with two strikeouts in four at-bats as the Nationals suffered a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.
Advice: After finishing the month of April strong, Harper has slumped in five May games, recording just one hit (a single) in 21 plate appearances. Though he has been drawing plenty of walks all season, his triple-slash line is otherwise disappointing at .245/.405/.457.

Bryce Harper hit two home runs and finished with five RBI in Friday's 9-2 win over the Braves.
Advice: Do you hear that rumble? Are you hunkering behind a barricade right now? That sound is the sound of Bryce Harper unleashing torrents of fire. His two-homer, five-RBI game on Friday wasn't even his best game this week, as just two days ago he hit three home runs in a contest with the Marlins. Yikes. Against the Braves, Harper hit a two-run bomb off of Eric Stults in the sixth inning, then followed it up with a three-run shot off William Perez in the eighth. In his last two games, Harper is 6-for-8 with five home runs, 10 RBI and five runs scored. That's a decent month for most players. The 22-year-old Harper's now hitting .284/.426/.627 with 10 home runs, 25 RBI and 23 runs scored. Best of luck to any pitcher who happens to play in the NL East.

The hell is the point of these stupid things if they are so reactionary?
