I think it's hilarious when they kick dirt on the plate. It forces the ump to brush it off. It's also funny when they kick dirt on the ump's leg. Baseball lol
Fwiw, the called strike on Harper and the called 3rd strike on A Rod to end the game were equally horrific calls. That ump is a blind douche.

I think you could make the argument that the pitch did cross the plate in the strike zone....it's not where it hits the mit. But it was close. But my understanding of the "unwritten rules" is that you don't argue balls and strikes that early in the game. Every ump is going to be slightly different so, so you give it a couple of at bats to at least see if he's calling it consistently. It was the first pitch of the at bat, so unless there's some history between the two, I don't get why Harper was making so much of a stink about it. You start jawing to the ump right away, it won't go well.
