Major League Baseball might have another umpire controversy on its hands.
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has indicated that he felt umpire Laz Diaz crossed the line during one of their three confrontations in Friday’s 10-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Bryce indicated that Laz Diaz said something inappropriate during their exchange in Harper’s 7th inning at-bat. Didn’t want to say what Diaz said, but told reporters multiple times to ask Braves catcher Tyler Flowers. “He heard it,” Bryce said.
How the bitterness started
What was said remained a mystery because Harper elected to keep it that way.
