Bryce Harper had some words with home plate umpire Laz Diaz during the series in Atlanta last week, but he avoided getting tossed, even though he was making enough noise out in center last Friday night to get Diaz’s attention, and then argued again after he had a pretty obvious ball called a strike on him by Diaz later in the game.
A conversation with Diaz after that call got heated, but Harper managed to avoid getting tossed and his manager, Davey Martinez, came out to tell Diaz to back off.
