Max Scherzer Jokingly Choked Bryce Harper in the Nationals Dugout

Bryce Harper didn’t appreciate being choked by Jonathan Papelbon in the Washington Nationals dugout last Sunday. But apparently he’s cool with being choked by Max Scherzer.

The starting pitcher had a little fun with the franchise player before yesterday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.

Harper and Scherzer did a similar routine last month.

It’s great to see that these two haven’t let a little thing like teammate-on-teammate violence get in the way of a pastime they love.

Perhaps humor is just the thing this broken team needs to heal itself. After all, laughter is the best medicine — outside of actual medicine of course.
