Harper knows that screaming at an umpire will get you ejected. But he also should know that the Phillies have precious little time left to gain ground and make the playoffs. And Harper being replaced by Jose Pirella isn't exactly the substitution you want to make in a playoff-caliber game.
But it's been a frustrating year for everyone and the Phillies haven't been able to string together a long winning streak or even a consistent offense. And Harper blew up today. And with the Phils 3.5 games out of the wild card with 2 weeks to go, it's looking pretty bleak. Especially being down 5-1 to the red Sox in the 5th inning with offense nowhere to be found.
