Bryce Harper (Philadelphia Phillies) was thrown out from Sunday’s 4-0 defeat at Colorado after charging at the dugout after a last out of the top in the 7th inning. He started a brawl that included all the players on the field but from the benches too.

Rockies reliever Jake Bird provoked him, and Bryce responded.
“I get affection,” the star of Phillies shared. “I accept getting fired up for an inning and things like that. But once you make it about a franchise or yourself and the opposition franchise, that’s when I can’t tolerate it anymore.”
“A player yelling in your dugout? That can’t occur,” Philadelphia head coach Rob Thomson claimed. “Flat-out, that can’t arise.”
