Aaron Boone Ejected and Didn't Say a Word - The Michael Kay Show TMKS April 22 2024

[@aduncaroo]

Hunter got embarrassed and then lied to cover for it. It was embarrassing for baseball

[@paysmoretowin]

💯

[@DanielCadarette]

And Manfred will do absolutely nothing except fine and suspend Boone.

[@margaretjiantonio939]

The manager runs the dugout, not the fans in the stands above the dugout.

[@Tennisplayer123]

Time to replace umpires with technology.

[@blahblahblah6]

My money says that MLB does nothing about it, except maybe a mildly worded semi-appology.

[@L1KECLOCKWORK]

Just like the ohtani case MLB motto is sweep everything under the rug. Nothing to see here.

[@EnjoyerofMiserableMarinersBsbl]

This is correct. MLB is the worst league in the country. They don’t care about fans or players.

[@jerrodravid5371]

Angel H still has a job after years and years of atrocious calls. The MLB isn’t going to do a thing about this.

[@blahblahblah6]

@jerrodravid5371 yep. We should have forgotten Angel's name years ago. But, he's still around embarrassing the game.

[@israymervalentin-arias6313]

What’s crazy is the umpire literally does not care because he knows nothing will happen to him.

[@GinoTassoni-fg1wg]

Agree totally the umpires think the ARE THE GAME!!! ARROGANCE... They are a detriment to the game. DISGRACEFULL

[@MiggyRules]

Because umpires have to act like big shots. They think they can have the highest power to eject anyone. In this case Hunter was either tone death or out of his mind. Once he sees the footage of the guy in the blue shirt CLEARLY the one who screamed at him instead of Boone, he’s gonna look like a complete fool. It not only is embarrassing for Boone to be ejected but Hunter is definitely gonna look like a complete quote “jackass” for throwing Boone out for Absolutely Nothing.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

Boone is responsible for the players/team but obviously not the fans

[@michaelmeyerson5051]

Is part of this that umpires now get over ruled by replay. Now they exert authority that much more to compensate.

[@user-kv6wh5ut6o]

Nothing will happen. The umpires union will protect the ump. Also, MLB will probably fine Boone for saying the ump screwed up.

[@timw8646]

The worst part is the ump didn’t care…. This was bad. The reason by the ump was equally bad. Plus the other ump should have said something but did. This whole situation makes the umpires bad again

[@johnrouille5428]

The ump needs to be reprimanded

[@JYoung007]

We need younger umps that understands the game and knows the rules of the games. Now everybody is going to target Boone to get ejected everytime.

[@greggross8856]

That was ridiculous. Are umps really *that* fragile and insecure? Wow.

[@jolness1]

Yes

[@DanielCadarette]

Yes, they are. And also bulletproof.

[@tonyaiello3050]

Umpires nowadays absolutely suck, in all aspects of the game. Something has to be done. Same with refs in hocky and basketball. It's a big problem in my eyes. They have be accountable and suspended with all these wrong calls. Very aggravating.

[@drrandycokewave683]

Why didn’t get a cam review 😂

[@bshaker1188]

Monday afternoon game, Ump crew probably got into New York late from their Sunday assignment and Hunter was pretty grumpy to start the game. It’s not right but that’s why he had such a short wick.

The umpire was wrong for throwing Aaron Boone out! Plain & simple this shouldn’t be about Boone’s previous ejections & how umpires are tired of him…the umpire mishandled what “ he felt “ happened all wrong & should be punished by mlb for it, case closed!

[@sliderdomination]

Boone is now the Yankees all time leader in managerial ejections

[@themilkmansfuckinyawaaaf]

Honestly surprised it didnt happen earlier lol

[@salvatoredmorlino1289]

I’m surprised no one tried to fight him or like clearing the benches

[@blahblahblah6]

Fantasy booking: Tomorrow, when the teams present the line up cards, Aaron Judge tells the umps that the Jackass has 10 minutes to publicly apologize or there will be no game today. Scenario 2: Hal demands an apology. If it doesn't happen, security removes the ump from the stadium. Scenario 3. The ump refuses to apologize. Over the PA system, we hear glass breaking and guitars blaring. Out of the Yankee dugout comes Stone Cold Steve Austin, who kicks the ump in the gut and gives him a stunner. I realize the game has gotten all corporate and wimpy these days. But, I'd like to see #1 happen.

[@Lord_Bibulous]

The problem is umpires are way too sensitive because they're getting called out for their bullshit calls. They reaped this as well by backing bad umpires.

[@SamWesting]

Umps like Hunter & Angel are giving MLB all the ammunition it needs to implement robo-umps. And when that happens, the players, managers, media & fans will all be celebrating.

[@jorgelasalde3049]

I want to make a comment. I think the problem that Boone made was that he changed the lineup. Because when, Torres was batting first, I know that he wasn't doing nothing, but with Volpe in the 5th or 6th batting position. He was batting hits and homeruns and boost the other players. When Boone changed putting Volpe 1st, he is doing nothing, same for Torres in that 5th or 6th spot. I think that he needs to put the lineup back the way it was with Torres batting 1st or sit him down, because he needs to go. Also, put Volpe back in the 5th or 6th position like it was when the season started. Thank you, this is my opinion

[@greggross8856]

Does this ump have a history/ongoing beef with Aaron Boone that this West Coast casual MLB fans doesn't know about? When Boone says he didn't say anything and it was a fan who said it, and Wendelstadt says "I don't care!," that's kind of a tell right there.

[@faamp]

I wish boone had walked out calmly and said in a non argumentative way that it was a fan. Hinter still needs to admit he was wrong though too.

[@anttucc9646]

The whole culture of umpires regularly ejecting people from games has to go. Unless someone is interfering with how the game is played, suck it up and keep it moving.

[@jkker05]

MLB is becoming a joke with these UMPS. absolutely ridiculous

[@Platerpus7]

Time to get rid of umpires. I can’t believe I am saying this because I always said I would never be for robo umps. These past couple years have changed my mind.

The players really let Boone down yesterday. He took a stray bullet and they did nothing offensively to back him up.

[@joebarr725]

When the CBA with the Umpires union expires, I hope that MLB does not renew their contract. The game can be officiated without them. Players may need to adjust by playing every batted ball as if it's in play, even if it turns out to be a foul ball. But MLB should figure out how to officiate the game by officials looking at video without slowing the game down.

[@engell3707]

Don is right again, this umps are the most egotistical characters in all of sports. They should get a grip.

[@mikey.1743]

There was no excuse for Aaron Boone to be thrown out. There's video evidence proving that it was a fan, and there's proof Boone said nothing when he got thrown out. Hunter Wendelstedt needs to be suspended for a few games. But nothing will be done, Joe Torre is a joke when it comes to the umpires and accountability.

Not all, but some of these umps are like overzealous bouncers at clubs. They have this one part of their lives where they have a bit of power and they abuse the hell out of it.

[@bdogg20101]

Lets set somethjng straight. The manager/head coach is responsible for all of the managers, coaches, and players. They have to control them. And yes, if the umpires opinion it was egregious enough, they can eject the player and/or head coach. Because ultimately in the rulebook the head coach/manager is in charge.

[@bdogg20101]

With that being said it is common sense to give warnings and it is the umpires responsibility to eject the right people.

[@bdogg20101]

As I mentioned the head coack/manager is responsible for the players, coaches, themselves, and their fans.

[@bdogg20101]

It's different with little league and pony vs. MLB. Focusing only on the fan being unruly, the umpire can either eject the fan (have the fan removed) or eject the head coach. Because again, the head coach/manager is responsible to keep things civil. With that being said normallynin little league and pony (because it is a smaller fan base), the coach should have a better handle with controlling everyone. Compared to minor league and major league. It would have been more reasonable for the umpire to eject the fan (have security or the police remove him) if the fan was being unruly.

[@bdogg20101]

Although it's not against any rules for Hunter to eject the manager for an unruly ran. Especially after a warning is in rulebook. But it's not fair for Aaron Boone to be ejected especially since he didn't say anything after the warning. And even Hunter said he didn't know who said it, but assumed it was Aaron so he threw him out. The better option would have been to just ignore it if he didn't see who it was. Or if he was that bothered go figure out who it was and throw rhe right person out. Or in this case have the fan removed.

[@Ramfreak23]

Wow, just a blatant lie by the ump. I actually used to be a pretty big baseball fan but they've destroyed the sport in the last 10 years. Between all these nonsense rules like the pitch clock and starting a runner on second in extra innings, and then on top of it having umpires with glass feelings now. It's the weirdest thing. I remember in the '70s and '80s where a manager or a player could basically get in a screaming match with an umpire over a call and would be allowed to say their peace but wouldn't get ejected unless they made physical contact with the umpire. Now they are the most fragile human beings on the face of the earth and will eject people over literally nothing. Someone needs to stop the reign of these evil umpires. They have gotten way out of control. It's almost as if they think people are buying tickets to see them, and not the teams play.
