While I agree he seemed like he had rabbit ears, I don't believe it was just 'one thing' that he had said. One analyst had said he was chirping the whole game after the call on his K in the 4th. Friend of mine is old college roomates with a MLB ump and he said pretty much the magic words aren't necessarily cuss words, but what is said. If ya say it was a bullship call, or a fucking terrible call, etc.....ya are likely ok but once you start calling HIM fucking terrible, etc. then that is what the ticket.Ironman92;1795609 wrote:Manager Dusty was tossed also but the walk off HR was literally 1 minute after ejection.

I'd like the rabbit ear ump to be fined. They get paid plenty of coin....one thing being yelled from the dugout shouldn't result in an ejection.
In this case I think it was likely poor judgement by the ump to toss him, but also BS for Harper to do what he did when he came out.
