Nationals’ Bryce Harper Absolutely Explodes On Umpire After Ejection
Bryce Harper is one of the MLB’s most fiery players. And if umpire Chris Segal wasn’t aware of that before, he sure is now.
The Washington Nations outfielder struck out during a key spot in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s game between the Nats and Milwaukee Brewers. Although Segal wasn’t responsible for Harper swinging and missing at a 98-mph fastball, Harper took issue with a called strike on the pitch before going down swinging.
After striking out, Harper kicked his leg in disgust and probably said something Segal didn’t like as the umpire quickly ejected Harper. Then, all hell broke loose.

Well, that was aggressive.
As you probably noticed, Harper yelled “that’s twice” at Segal, so it’s clear his frustration already was nearing a tipping point.
The good news for Segal, though, is Harper apparently wasn’t in a fighting mood Wednesday night.
