More MLB umpiring incidents...

It's almost as if the umpires are STATING they'll exert that they control who wins and loses, at the behest of Commissioner "Blinded By The Light" Manfred.

Two more incidents add to a growing list that the umpires are more than happy to take matters into their own hands.

• Tom Hallion was questioned after having an incident at the end of Todd Frazier's walk-off home run for the Mets Thursday night.  (Yahoo!) 

Hallion was standing square on home plate while the Mets celebrated a walk-off win, and MLB wanted words with him.

Hallion was the famous "our ass is in the jackpot" umpire in a 2016 confrontation with the Mets.

It's also speculated Hallion, who appeared to bump square into Frazier as Frazier scored the run, was also making a statement protesting the Mets' usage of a rubber ball to trick the umpire into calling an out against the Dodgers.

• In another case of what Michael Kay said:  "It's always fun when Laz Diaz is around", another round of Bryce Harper vs. The Umpires.  (Deadspin)

Diaz and Harper went at it over several innings Friday night.

Since it was a balls-and-strikes thing, just toss Harper and be done with it, Laz!

Or did you want to do THIS to help the Braves win, which they did (GIF from the article):



Stay tuned, this could get uglier!!
