Harper, Williams strongly disagree with ejections

Hours after they were tossed from Wednesday night’s win over the Yankees by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson, both Nationals manager Matt Williams and right fielder Bryce Harper remained fired up about their third inning ejections.

Harper and Williams were still confused as to why they were ejected.

“I’m really not sure. I have no idea. I think the whole thing was me not getting into the box,” Harper said.

“I can’t. I can’t explain it. I don’t believe there’s anything that warrants throwing him out of the game right there,” Williams said.

Both also strongly disagreed with Hudson’s decision.
