And even if he ran hard, and even if the outfielder dropped the ball, he wouldn't have made it second without being thrown out. Ball wasn't deep enough.

So, it actually is not true he didn't run it out. Did he loaf? Yeah, i can buy that. But, he did run it out.

In the replay, when they show him from behind and Papelbon starts mouthing off, Harper is walking away from first base, not part way up the line.
