I see Bryce Harper went full douche bag on another ump. What a crybaby.

He's probably a Hall of Famer as long as he plays until he's ~38 (20 years).
He's 31st in Fangraphs WAR by the Age of 25. (Mike Trout was 2nd, he's now 27 and fifth at that age behind Cobb, Mantle, Hornsby and Foxx.)
Every game in the league starts at 3 p.m. ET today. That could get crazy.
Rockies-Dodgers and Brewers-Cubs tied.
Mo. It was close but you beat me.

MLB released an advertisement ahead of Tuesday's postseason opener denouncing the anti-bat flip attitudes of many baseball traditionalists.
"Don't stop and stare. Don't flip your bat. Respect the jersey," says a narrator at the start. Meanwhile, the commercial shows Giancarlo Stanton admiring a lengthy home run, Carlos Correa tossing his bat, Mookie Betts flexing and Yasiel Puig wagging his tongue after a daring headfirst slide.
It also includes Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. celebrating a home run against the Marlins. Acuna was plunked by Miami's Jose Urena during his impressive five-game homer streak this season, an incident that put baseball's unwritten rules back under the microscope.
After Acuna, the ad cuts to Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. sporting a backward baseball cap, just like he did as the fresh face of baseball in the early 1990s.
"No more talk," Griffey says. "Let the kids play."
The commercial features soundbites from a few broadcasters criticizing players, including one from longtime Turner Sports analyst Joe Simpson. The Braves announcer came under fire a few times this season, including when he labeled Dodgers veteran Chase Utley "unprofessional" for wearing a "K Cancer" T-shirt during batting practice. Simpson was left off TBS's postseason lineup for this fall, a decision that was made last offseason.
Baseball is no longer for old fogeys.
I need a clip.
These guys have to be exhausted.
