Bryce Harper said he didn't care if camera's caught him yelling "f*** you" to home plate umpire Brian Knight, adding "Let him hear it again."

The league heard it again, and they'll likely have something to say back.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, Harper is facing a fine or suspension for his actions in the Washington Nationals' walk-off win against the Detroit Tigers.

Harper was ejected while he was in the dugout prior to the home run by Clint Robinson. But the league states that it will discipline any player or coach who returns to the field after he's ejected.

In Harper's case, running out to the dog pile at home plate was worthy enough of a kickback, but his F-bomb took it a step further.

The news comes a day after the league fined, but didn't suspend Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell after he returned to the field following an ejection of his own.
