Bryce Harper blamed his pregame music following his latest ejection

Harper was tossed Wednesday night after getting into it with an umpire

Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper went off on home plate umpire Chris Segal after striking out in the eighth inning of the Nats' win over the Brewers (WAS 8, MIL 5) on Wednesday night. 

Harper was visibly upset at a called strike on the second pitch of the at-bat, then he lost it, slamming his bat after whiffing on a 1-2 fastball from Milwaukee lefty Josh Hader.

Here's video of the ejection:

After the game, Harper (jokingly?) blamed his meltdown on his pregame music, which gets him a little too fired up. Here's what Harper told ESPN's Eddie Matz following the game:

"I think I need to change my playlist, because I get a little fired up," said Harper, who was tossed for arguing with plate umpire Chris Segal in the eighth inning of the Nationals' 8-5 comeback win. "'5AM' really got me fired up, by Logic. I called my brother and was like, 'Man, I'm so fired up to play today.' I guess it got me a little too fired up. I guess I need to mix in some Temptations and some of those jazz bands to calm me down a little bit."

Wednesday's ejection notwithstanding, Harper, shouldn't change a thing. He's hitting .334/.437/.628 with 25 home runs this year, and .409/.505/.753 with seven homers in his past 24 games. Whatever he's listening to before games, it's working.
