MLB fans were left in shock as Bryce Harper, the star player of the Philadelphia Phillies, was unexpectedly ejected during the game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The incident occurred in the opening game when home plate umpire Brian Walsh tossed Harper out of the game while he was discussing a call. Despite Harper’s calm demeanor, the umpire made the controversial decision to eject him.
Following the ejection, outraged MLB fans took to social media to express their discontent with the umpire’s actions. One fan even humorously asked if the umpire was related to Angel Hernandez, known for his controversial calls. Another fan criticized the umpires for allegedly ruining the game by ejecting one of the league’s biggest stars.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Phillies fans showed their support for Harper by booing at Coors Field after his ejection. Harper, who has been a key player for the team this season, has impressed with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs, boasting a .279 batting average, .388 OBP, and .929 OPS.
With the Phillies currently leading the MLB with a 37-14 record and sitting atop the NL East, Harper’s ejection comes at a crucial time for the team. Fans are hopeful that the star player will quickly return to the field and continue his stellar performance to help maintain the Phillies’ winning streak.
