Does not compute.
So if I can get this straight, Hudson tells him to get in the box, but Harper argues "I was". Then goes and puts a toe in to make him happy? That's garbage my daughter pulls when I tell her that she actually has to use soap when washing her hands. Then she puts a huge glob of it on and stares at me and says "HAPPY???"
That never goes well.

Yet I don't want to pay to see a grown man acting like a punk as well..... Harper was a punk and I am glad he got tossed.... There was no need for him to point at the batters box and ten put his toe into the box... It was an intentional attempt to show up the ump....
Sometimes I think you're just trolling because I don't even think alcoholism could make someone as stupid as you are.

You think he just pulled that out of nowhere?
No, the last thing he saw was the ump and Harper pointing at the box so that's probably what he assumed.

That, coupled with the way he walked over/pointed and his previous arguing the call is why he was tossed.

How about you don't take apart pieces of my quote in order to build an argument?
Hudson is the one who caused the game to slow down, don't all of a sudden try to go back to the pace of play rules when you called time to walk over and yell at a manager. Harper was still in the box when all of the bullshite started and that's what he told Hudson. Hudson didn't like finding out that he was a worthless child and decided to show everyone his raisins.

That ump deserves to be shown up. Harper was back in the box ready to go when the ump pulled his mask off to yell at the dugout. If he had either waited until after the inning to say something to Williams, or tossed Williams immediately, he wouldn't have been shown up by Harper.
But no, he had to take his mask off and act like the big man. MLB won't do anything about it because it's all part of the show. Same reason NHL wouldn't do anything about fighting for decades.

I thought it was a fair ejection
Without knowing what was said it is hard to make a judgment. It would have looked better had blue just removed his mask and had a quick private convo with Bryce and everything would have been fine.

quote:An irrational and unnecessary power trip deserves criticism. Of course, when it happens at the highest levels it's a bigger deal not only because it's more popular but the stakes (e.g., money) are higher and those in power (i.e., the umpire in this case) are held to a higher standard expected to have some basic emotional resiliency.
If this happened to some AAAA player on your favorite team, no one cares. It's because it happened to Bryce Harper. It's not a big deal, except for maybe the Nationals.
Just like political corruption is a big deal and deplorable at any level; however, it's generally much more newsworthy when it happens at the nationally level than the local level. That doesn't mean some local corruption on the other side of the country doesn't matter, it's just not as newsworthy on the national level.

So he did show up the ump? So he gets tossed for being an idiot.
Harper was in the box and ready to bat, then the ump decided to take his mask off and yell at Matt Williams, forcing the stoppage of play. That's when Harper gets out of the box.
He then gets mad at Harper for not being in the box, Harper said he was in the box, then proceeds to show him where exactly he was in the box before Hudson took his mask off to yell at Matt Williams, then got the boot.
Stupid.

Ump dictates that buddy. Sorry. Regardless of what just happened, ump tells you to get back in the box, and you yell that you WERE (I still don't get that.....it's like they were arguing two different things), and you then mockingly place your toe in the box, you'll get run.

Showing up the umpire by telling him that he was in the box before the ump stopped the game? Showing him up? Seriously? That's terrible.
Like I said, you can make an argument the ump deserved to be shown up. He let things get out of hand by not tossing Williams originally. But don't pretend Harper didn't do anything to show him up and was just an innocent bystander.

That's ridiculous. It's asinine that an ump can change the outcome of a game because his feelings are hurt.

Is anyone arguing that umps don't have the power to run you? Doesn't change the fact that he escalated the situation and showed his arse.

You can also see who hates Harper. No matter what Harper did, you guys would side with the ref. it's petty.

Guess I need clarification. I feel like the ump was saying "let's go". Am I missing something?

NFL refs are the only ones with a spine that don't let their "feelings" dictate games.
In NBA, you get T'd up for saying any one thing to a ref. In baseball they eject you for arguing. In football a coach can chew a ref up and down on the sideline and they just take it. It has to actually be egregious for there to be a penalty assessed.

And Harper's feelings weren't hurt? We can argue it the other way too.

quote:O I get it. It's OK for the ump to act like a immature teenager and slow up the game; however, if you give even a hint of displeasure with his teenage behavior--even if it's just body language--the ump should be able to continue to slow up the game and impact it even much more by tossing the displeased player out of the game.

Send that ump down to Single A until the all star break. Holy hell what an idiot.
I'd say fire him on the spot but that's probably not feasible..
