As far as I am concerned, this manager has plenty of pro experience (whether it be as a player or at the coaching level).
This is also a person that is supposed to develop and set an example for players who may get to the next level.
My point WAS and still IS, that while there are those quick to condemn 19 year old behavior, the above shows us (action not acceptable) how frustrating the game can be even for adults.
Does this mean the player is selfish, spoiled?
To some yes, but likely the same people who go to bed at night dreaming of their sons being the next Bryce Harper.
And he was punished for his behavior. With more consequences likely. No one is making excuses for him is my point.
