Matt Williams wants Bryce Harper to stop getting ejected from games

Bryce Harper is one of the best players in baseball. He’s probably the front runner for National League MVP. However, he hurts his team when he gets ejected, and Nationals manager Matt Williams wants that to come to an end.

In the 11th inning of a tie game on Friday, Harper was called out on a third strike on the outside corner of the plate. The pitch looked like a strike on TV, and home plate umpire Jerry Meals obviously felt it was. Harper, on the other hand, did not agree. He immediately got in Meals’ face and began jawing with the veteran umpire.
