Bryce Harper on Wednesday night took issue with Washington Nationals fans heckling him in the latter stages of the game and the Philadelphia Phillies star’s wife echoed his statements a day later.

Kayla Harper tweeted Thursday that Nationals fans were bringing their 1-month-old son into the trash-talking and that’s what upset her and her husband.

“When you bring his son or family into it, yes you’re crossing a line,” she tweeted. “Stick to your overused overrated and Harper sucks chants if you’re really that loser that goes to a game to heckle someone. Phillies fans might boo him but they don’t bring his 4 week old son into it. Classless”

Bryce Harper, who played for the Nationals from 2012 to 2018 before signing with the Phillies in the offseason, expressed his outrage over the fans after his loss in Washington on Wednesday. However, he didn’t go into what they were saying.

“They were fine all game, talking about myself and things like that,” Harper told reporters. “I get it everywhere I go. That's nothing new. But the last two innings, it's just not right. It's not right.”

He added that he was eager to get back to Philadelphia.
