Nationals' slugger Bryce Harper gets ejected... again... it has to stop

Washington Nationals' slugger Bryce Harper has shown an impressive understanding of the strike zone all season. Just look at his walk totals and OBP. But he's also continued to lose his cool on occasion and that has to stop. He got tossed again tonight.

Was home plate umpire Jerry Meals' called third strike on Bryce Harper in the eleventh inning in Citi Field a ball?

Yes. It wasn't even close, actually. We joke from time to time on Twitter that "If Bryce Harper does not swing, it is not a strike," but in this case it really wasn't.
