[@thiefswiller]

LMFAO I love the catchers reaction

[@Mason-so3qg]

thiefswiller Caleb Joseph never does that. I remember watching it live and I was like 'what'.

[@351TODD]

caleb joseph hardly ever acts like that so you know that was a bad call

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Mason Lilly I was pissed I watched this I jumped up and was like WHAT!? I was in shock when he was thrown out and Caleb knew it was just a bad pitch

[@papagrantits]

Caleb backed his guys.

[@351TODD]

this is a ridiculous call by the umpire! Kevin gausman wouldn't try to hit somebody if he was 2 scoreless innings in. besides you don't hit someone with a 77 mph pitch when sale was throwing at 98mph

[@chettbrunner5768]

2:09 Greg Gibson, the base umpire, motioning to both players... as the Red Sox celebrate in their dugout

[@andresramirez3840]

I’m a Red Sox fan I knew that was an accident. It surprised me

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Your team was annoying in that series just cuz manny accidentally hit Dustin he slid and his foot bounced up and manny was getting thrown at from that moment on

[@richardgallerani8817]

It was no accident but he wasn't trying to hurt anyone.

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Richard Gallerani it was an accident

[@RicardoKugo]

@@galactic_clashx4056 That he slid in hard wasn't an accident. That the foot went up and spiked pedroia was an accident, and a costly one at that. It was intended to be a hard slide, not intended to be a dirty slide because it wasn't, even pedroia himself said that it wasn't dirty and playing hard is part of the game.

[@naufty8993]

@@richardgallerani8817 curveball, nobody out, scoreless game. not intentional

[@richardmillet6177]

I think ejections should be reviewed by Mlb not these umpires.

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Yes

[@jmflash3043]

At least Gausman didn't pull a Delmon Young afterwards lol

[@beaux8279]

I’ve seen this umpire make so many bad calls and poor judgement. He was behind home plate in G6 of the ‘19 World Series too. He’s giving Angel a run for his money for the worst umpire in the league

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

And he was the plate ump for the greatest World Series game ever played- Game 7 of the 2016 WS.

[@ishan1759]

i saw greg gibson, the home plate umpire

[@sixsixxsixxxx]

Jim Palmer going crazy but he is right

[@coolguy02536]

If announcers being biased is suddenly an issue, Baltimore’s shouldn't get a free pass. They're definitely not among the more passive ones out there.

[@natewoodard9852]

Theroux seriously, it was a slider, you should never be thrown out on a breaking ball

[@chancegv]

Theroux Like Sox announcers aren’t

"On a 77mph slider that backs up on a cold night" *LOL!*

[@HHH-ye1ro]

I would have pulled the entire team off the field, and forced MLB to either reverse the call (and remove the ump) or explain to the fans that there will be no game tonight. Horrific call. Umpire trying to be the star.

[@paulbaranofsky4995]

i am a red sox fan and even i think this was an asinine call

[@deansapp4635]

Even the Red sox announcers called bullshit on the call

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Dean Sapp that’s surprising

[@grb10210]

John Smoltz on commentary is the best!!!!

[@detmstr480]

Let me say this, there has been some bad history between the Orioles and Red Sox. Too many times, I've seen these 2 teams go at it, and every time, a pitcher nails a batter, and either benches are warned, or the pitcher is gets tossed.

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

Also Sam Holbrook the home plate umpire was the one that called the infield fly rule in the 2012 NLWC

[@stonedstakegaming5458]

I was at this game and was for once I didn’t agree with an ejection

[@dom12011]

Boston redsox fan here , but clearly accidental . Umps trying to over react . This is all on league office

[@joeybosssportsdude2347]

I totally agree with you. I'm a Red Sox fan as well.

[@TheOnlyNoIan]

Domenic Lavigna you are my favorite Red Sox fan- coming from an orioles fan

[@kevaninthe4135]

I'll disagree. There's bean ball history with these 2 teams and the ump said NOPE YOU'RE GONE. Gausman knew if he hit a batter he was gone, he put up a nice act but he knew.

[@AE-vu3nt]

Domenic Lavigna shut up

[@kurumauzamaki2731]

Domenic Lavigna I can see why they thought he was thrown at before the pitch they said how bogarts was having a great series which some teams will hit players for that

[@papagrantits]

Caleb Joseph was that guy. Always had his guy's back.

[@footballfanatik780]

Gausman is a good guy man lol c'mon

[@jamiethornton6101]

Same umpire who called the infield fly rule in Atlanta for the Braves/Cardinals wild card game.

[@rayray4192]

Sam is an excellent umpire. It’s why he was assigned the plate in game 6 of the World Series in which Tre Turner was called out for interference, and he ejected manager Dave Martinez.

[@jamiethornton6101]

He wasn't excellent on this night. He overreacted to the obvious. Big time. Ray Charles could see that wasn't a fastball or even a change up. Cold night and it got away from him. This is baseball. Let them play the game. @@rayray4192

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

Then in the 5th inning of the same game, Sam Holbrook tossed Adam Jones too.

[@averyj.thedefinitivegill455]

[@shermanngjazz]

That was the curveball the refs have gone insane

[@galactic_clashx4056]

The ball just slipped out of his hand

[@user-wt2ti2je4h]

You have to be in little league to miss an outside target and "accidentally" throw it inside instead. I know it's a slider but c'mon.

[@galactic_clashx4056]

It’s a cold night dumbass and even if it was on purpose manny was being thrown at every time they faced each other

[@T_K_O_]

Good thing you're in the big leagues right

[@kobyschechter8163]

@@bendsomemetal I guarantee you that it hurts. Obviously it hurts less than a 98 mph fastball but you can’t say that it doesn’t hurt AT ALL.

Other announcers usually get heat for being biased and getting too emotional, but Baltimore's are definitely guilty of it too.

[@IWantToBelieve1]

351TODD he’s trolling lol

[@richardgallerani8817]

Guzman tried to cover it up by tossing a duece but ump wasn't buying it. Nice try. Threw right at Bogey. With the friction between both teams, ump made the only call he could despite what these two goofball announcers say. I love the catchers reaction though.

[@Brian-js6me]

Nonsense. The point of hitting someone is that it’s supposed to hurt. It defeats the purpose to hit a guy with your slowest pitch. If your teammate gets thrown at with a 98 mph fastball like Machado did, you’re not going retaliate by hitting someone in the hip at 77 mph. Not to mention it’s also the least accurate pitch making it the most difficult to intentionally hit someone with and the easiest to unintentionally hit someone with.

[@galactic_clashx4056]

Brian yeah very true I don’t understand why the ump threw him out why would he throw a slow pitch at him it was a cold night and it was a ball that got away from his spot

[@JeremyIsTheBoss]

Richard is clearly a biased Sox fan if he thinks that's intentional.

[@galactic_clashx4056]

JG Is The Boss clearly

[@galactic_clashx4056]

And also it’s gausman

[@AE-vu3nt]

Good for the umpire.

[@rayray4192]

Manager can be ejected as well as pitcher even if warnings have not been issued.

Great statement Still shouldn’t have been tossed
