[@dingdong7610]

True that. I don't know why announcers make a big deal about a warning. An ump can throw out a guy if it's a pitch that could injure without warning at any time. I know that teams feel like if a starter is thrown out it's a disadvantage, but with the universal DH and pitch counts, it really doesn't matter as much anyway unless it's an ace.

[@williama.walker2287]

A little backstory on some of these ejections might explain things. There was some commentary about prior warnings or incidents in earlier games, so it is possible the ump was being preemptive with the early hooks as a way of saying this isn't happening on my watch.

[@eauhomme]

Oftentimes the backstory goes back to a previous game, or in the case of the famous Noah Syndegaard/Ruben Tejada (Tom Hallion "ass in the jackpot") ejection, the previous season.

[@timothyhill6879]

The Lackey one was entirely appropriate in my opinion - first pitch was wild and behind the batter, second pitch hits him. Umpire wasn't giving him a third chance. At some point player safety has to come into it. If you can't hit the zone as a pitcher, you shouldn't be playing

[@Vauge-Nightmare]

Lets see an announcer take a 90 mph fast to the body a see if they still think its ok to throw at someone.

These calls by the umpires are long overdue. I commend them for this. Sounds like to me that some of the announcers should have been thrown out as well. Why is hitting someone with a baseball that could maim or kill them legal just because it is called a sport. Great Job Umpires.

[@jordandillow5208]

I agree, I've never understood the logic behind "oh you're on fire so we're gonna throw heaters at your face."

[@xXJMatherXx]

I agree, but some of these are not intentional, especially curve balls that slip out of the hand. Those guys shouldn't be thrown out, unless it is repeated.

[@sammorris9609]

I understand that. We all mess up at times, but don't you think some kind of apology is in order. Outside the game, on the streets, we let them know it is not intentional.

[@xXJMatherXx]

Sam Morris it’s pretty easy to tell when it isn’t intentional. It’s business, no need to apologize. The apology is the batter getting to take first.
