10 insane umpire moments from 2024, a breakdown

[@ALousySavage]

It wouldn't shock me to find out that he's banned now. If that was in New York? Whew!

[@l-boi8173]

I love how every year, we get an ejection where the ump throws out... someone. Then the whole dugout has to play duck duck goose to figure out who it was. Then we get the occasional but equally hilarious ejection where no one can figure out why they were ejected, then the ump is forced to stand on it, like with Boone.

[@FluffPuffkotj]

Is there some reason after the election the ump can't admit they were wrong? Is it like a rule or just all ego?

[@Scoots1994]

I love the "You're probably right Aaron!" ... but he's still gone :)

[@PersonNotFound69]

“I’m not probably right, I’m F___ing right Hunter” is what got me.

[@JimYeats]

By far the funniest part was at 3:50 where the ump is just absolutely trolling the coach who looks like he’s going to have a stroke. “All three of em?” “Not one of them was the right call?” “Oh, everybody does?” “You think I missed all three of them yesterday?” Damn, just calmly trolling him.

[@rim7115]

He has a point though. As someone with 0 baseball knowledge, I reckon he got 2 calls right and only missed 1.

[@JimYeats]

@ Yeah I’d agree with that. Did he swing or not calls are notoriously 50/50. No ump gets those consistently right. And there isn’t any definition of what “right” actually is.

3:30 - The interaction between John Schneider and Gabe Morales was gold. The fact that by the end of their interaction, Morales looked genuinely concerned about his own performance the day prior 😂

[@JamesGrim08]

Nah, by the end he was fixing to make John look like a moron.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

The title on that video was, "Umpire confident that he only missed one call." and I agree with him, the first one was missed, the other two (and the one he called at the plate) are spot on.

[@NeonEclipse910]

I don't even know baseball very well but these breakdowns are some of the most hilarious videos I've seen.

Jomboy does other sports as well : )

[@damondiehl5637]

He even males cricket interesting. Well, sorta.

[@roflcookies]

8:16 baseball players say "that's horseshit" so often they don't even need to face the camera for Jomboy to know they're saying it

[@gnarchronicles]

yea that was pretty dumb of him. the "lets go then" sounded like he wanted to fight but had a backup plan to be like "oh no i meant play ball, bro"

[@majoraswrath240]

Honorable Mention: Ump telling Skip Schumaker any position player has to go

the way boone fights umps always cracks me up, it' like watching a dad argue with a teacher

[@inseparabletheband]

Did Boone ever say sorry to the ump?

[@xZipkan]

Some of these manager getting tossed when they are clearly wrong (like clip #6) is so funny.

[@jayceh]

Given that everyone only watches baseball for the ump show, I'm glad they finally got their own segment on jomboy this year

[@HydeKuon]

Boone being ejected for doing literally nothing is honestly the highlight of the year in some ways.

[@Harakanrules]

The funniest thing about the Altuve ejection is that it happened the exact way earlier in the season to end an inning with the same umpire crew.

[@fatboyslim496]

For some reason I come out of #7 liking that ump. Maybe it's the smile and the calm demeanor.

[@noahdoss1967]

#7 was great “you think I missed all three of them yesterday?” because when someone is riled up they’ll say stupid, incorrect shit

1:05 You have to zoom in to see that the ball barely scraped the bat, yet people expect that the umpire can see that in real time when the catcher is completely boxing out his view?

[@MadSpectre47]

No. We expect it to be reviewable

[@bhseigel]

An officiant should never ever utter the words "you're probably right," and not face serious questions of conduct.

3:15 all 3 are swings. middle one is the closest, but a swing if you ask me

[@jhanks2012]

"50/50 call but height of the moment, you're gonna want yes." yeah, if you're COL. if you're literally ANYBODY else, you don't want that swing call to be made. no umpire in history would let that 50/50 call end a historic comeback like that. plus, some of us needed LAD to win and needed Teoscar to HR for a couple of their parlays that they did really well on that night. so stop whining about it, COL fans.

[@jhanks2012]

this is what you get when you build an entire new baseball stadium meant for homeruns to be hit, and then build your entire offense around base hits, small ball, and bunting 😂😂 there hasn't been a decent HR hitter on the Rockies for years LMAO

Ive been waiting for a Jomboy umpire video compilation this whole year

[@mattelmquist4473]

“I’m not probably right, I’m fucking right hunter” is such a great line. I love Aaron boone’s ejections so much.

[@theliftexpert]

3:13 ok fellas Jomboy asked our opinion on which of the 3 were a swing ? I’ll start by saying, 1-no 2-no 3-yes

[@flowingafterglow629]

"You watched the video and think I got all three wrong?" That's how the ump knew the guy wasn't serious. If you watched the video, the first two were clearly called correctly, and the third was at worst arguable.

[@CardinalTreehouse]

All 3 are swings. The videos should be synced to the furthest point in each swing, but they are synced to when ball crosses home

[@boltonnotlob6060]

I would say 1 yes 2 no 3 yes, because the 1 & 3 batters lose control of the head of the bat.

[@CardinalTreehouse]

On further review of what the rule of what determines a swing being checked, I will reserve my judgement for such a time that MLB decides to actually define what a check swing is. I'm a fairly casual fan (chose a team based on what city my favourite teams in other sports played in) so I'm not up on the lore, but how the hell have they not clarified this yet?

[@pjabrony8280]

The Heim play at #9 is similar to the Chuck Knoblauch play of 1998. When a player is arguing that the ball is dead, it's unreasonable to expect them to pick up the ball and continue play as though they agree that the play is still live.

[@caleblim6890]

The end of an era. This will be the final year Angel Hernandez makes an end-of-year Jomboy ump compilation

[@TheLowzoo]

ref's should face suspensions for bad calls, and receive no pay for the game they made the call in. and EVERY call needs to be watched by individuals in real time and be able to be overturned

[@michaelgreenlee7493]

[@AidanWR]

The softball one still really pisses me off. Imp makes them play in the pouring rain, which allows a run to score because the pitcher can't get a grip, then decides to wait out the rain?

[@danielz8183]

Umpires need to be held accountable for their actions and their decisions period and the MLB needs to review the game thoroughly and hold accountable the fans accountable for their actions and fine or not allow them to be in a game or games. It’s getting ridiculous and it’s affecting baseball

nope its a live ball, source: wikipedia

While I completely agree the #1 is absolutely ridiculous, in the umps defense he said "not another word" and heard another word that came from Boone's direction.

[@TrocarSlushWeasel]

I'm thinking with all the Blue Jays vs umpire breakdowns, the problem might not be the umpires but might be John Schneider.

[@talkingmuffins9560]

They just need to take ejection power away from umpires. If an umpire wants to disqualify someone from a game, they have to send it to NY, or like airlines have those marshal type guys on flights or something, one at every game who makes the call. Umpires have repeatedly shown themselves to completely irresponsible with such power.

[@darthdzl]

On #9, even if you're 138% sure you're right, stop complaining and do your job in case you weren't or in case they didn't see it and refuse to agree. You let them score, genius.

[@bernlitzner2739]

In defense of (some) of the calls....the criteria for a a swing is if the umpire deems that the batter attempted to swing at the pitch. It has nothing to do if he breaks his wrists...goes past the halfway point...breaks the plate plane. Did he attempt to swing at the pitch. Those be the rules.

[@hyd119]

My favorite moment was watching Jomboy's face fall after the Dodgers WS win after kind of laughing at Mookie's arm getting torqued by some fans one game. But it was all in good fun. Thanks for all the coverage.
