Bryce Harper wants to make baseball fun again, but it was another F-word that emanated from his mouth after the Nationals' walkoff win Monday against the Tigers.
As the Nationals celebrated Clint Robinson's homer at home plate, Harper, who had been ejected moments earlier by umpire Brian Knight for arguing a strike call from the dugout, jawed at Knight with an NSFW retort.

Harper didn't seem to mind the video evidence.
Harper, on the words cameras caught him yelling: "Let him hear what I had to say. Let him hear it again. So what."

This will likely cost Mr. Harper a hit in the ol' wallet.
Harper said he'll pay the fine for his choice words to ump after the game. "Maybe he'll get fined, too. We'll see."
