Not any more than every other ejection that happens in baseball.

I agree, but this isn't the worst example you can find. Harper did enough to get ejected, regardless of what everyone wants to admit. If the commish sits the umps down and defines the leeway they need to start giving everyone, that's another story. Baseball is the worst about unwritten rules, and one of the big ones is don't mouth off to the umps, especially involving balls and strikes. Even though most would say that was definitely a ball, that rule was broken, and things escalated. Ump can't get thrown out himself, so what do you do?

The issue is that baseball doesn't really have an escalating penalty system. It's basically verbal warning (maybe) then-boom-ejection.
Basketball you have to get two Ts, soccer two yellow cards. Football, at least at the pro level, almost never ejects anyone.
In baseball, ejections are almost entirely at the umpire's discretion. Pretty much the only cut and dry ejection is for throwing a punch. Everything else involves "intent."

So the Tail can wag the dog.... That's what will happen.... Players need to be held accountable for their actions... If they aren't the umps will have zero control... You are right the MLB needs to fix the attitudes of these overpaid crybabies....
