E53 - Troy Snitker Ejected in 1st Inning by Mark Wegner After a Two-Hour Rain Delay in Chicago

[@eenu]

Imagine being a hitting coach and having the absolute GALL to argue a call that the ump got correct.

[@closethockeyfan5284]

Dusty Baker tends to be chill in his last few stops, from what I've seen, but it looked like he was tilting his head at Snitker's outburst, haha.

[@chesterthompson6835]

It's really too bad the "manager" doesn't manage his dugout. He should be ejected, too.

[@scottwhitt9379]

I’ve never seen the “leash list” before, thank you,

[@RealRedPolitics]

In the NFHS level, I give assistant coaches almost 0 leeway. The only person allowed to question an umpire's call is the head coach which is determined when they step into the batters box at the play meeting. A lot of times if the assistant is ejected, the head coach is either restricted to the dugout or ejected as well since he is responsible for his assistants.

[@chesterthompson6835]

This would be so awesome to see.

[@DJTexan]

I don’t agree with the hierarchy of leeway. That wasn’t a thing 30 years ago. No matter what level you are, if you say something personal you’re ejected. In this case I don’t think he was ejected for arguing, I think it was the fact that he left his position to argue. Had he stayed in the dugout, he wouldn’t and shouldn’t have gotten ejected as long as he didn’t take it beyond the level of normal chirping.

[@rickhaavisto9023]

Yes…because if it wasn’t a thing 30 years ago, it shouldn’t be a thing at all…

[@Ghostrider6A]

I thought we covered in 2021 that assistant coaches are to be seen and not heard. Greg Gibson drove that point home in a CHC-PIT game (2021 ejection 6 if I'm not mistaken).

[@DJTexan]

That level of hierarchy is crap. The reason he was ejected was because he left his position which was the dugout to argue. Had he stayed in the dugout and didn’t personally insult the umpire, then he most likely would’ve stayed in the game. In this case though I think the coach knew he couldn’t leave position and did it anyway because he wanted to be ejected due to the rain delay so he could make the postgame plans he had.

[@rayray4192]

@@DJTexan wrong, but thanks for playing homophobic Big Tex. Bitch as a hitting coach and you are ejected no matter your position in the dugout.

[@rayray4192]

Perhaps a team psychologist is needed. This is the top of the first inning. Wegner had not established his strike zone yet. Childish tantrum for no good reason. There’s never a good reason.

[@James-py6kf]

Wegner was on the plate for the Astros a week ago when the Astros lost 2-0..Ump scorecard said Wegner favored the other team by almost 2 runs. My guess is that game played a part in this.

[@bnegs521]

I thought it was a strike. Coach was out of line

[@Usmctbone]

For when you got dinner reservations and the rain delay will make you miss them.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

Thanks, I got it, I watched the video.

[@pullingtexas]

#7 cheerleaders/mascots made me almost spit out my coffee

[@caras2004]

When the manager doesn't make a move and/or doesn't say a thing, simple ejection.

[@amantedelcane420]

Wish there were more discussions about rules rather than just a bunch of ejections.

[@babababad]

This channel runs the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League. The ejection videos are boring sometimes, but covering all of them is a core part of the channel's programming.

[@rayray4192]

Some ejections naturally create a Rules discussion. This video quotes Referee magazine in regard to what people get the most patience from an umpire.

[@stevebabiak6997]

He had a prior commitment fir that time and expected the game to have been completed already by that time, not just getting started. So this way he can blame the umpire for his having to depart ;)

[@michaelfalkner1186]

He stepped off at what the ump told him, leaving your position, gone.

[@mrmoose6619]

Oh poor Youppi! being at the bottom of the list... lol I bet Tommy Lasorda knew that info on that long night in La Belle Province...

[@27RAIDERMAN]

Mark Wegner same Umpire that tossed Lou Pinella on 07.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

Care to elaborate??

[@scottbrickey8816]

Wow that does change everything.......

[@stevehamman4465]

How about the Indians game 5/12 . 9th inning,? runner scored then kicks the ball. A runner advanced to third .

[@rayray4192]

Did runner kick ball or did ball deflect off him?

[@joepeters5852]

He didn't kick it intentionally. Plus, there wasn't a play to be made. He didn't hinder/impede anything cuz there was no play happening. This was covered by CCS.

[@MrGuzmanra]

he had dinner plans.

[@priceright8963]

So if there was no rain delay, would Troy have been on time if he stayed for the whole game given the pace of play?

[@francissager3133]

I noticed visiting team bussie doesn't even appear on the hierarchy. Time for me to get as close as I can to behind the plate and push the envelope.

[@Dannyedelman4231]

could have gone either way Brian aka dad wouldn't be to happy

[@Tardisius]

Zero Tolerance....No Yelling....Auto Eject.........=))

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

What's with the pride flag colors in the text?

[@jayschafer1760]

Those colors make the text easier to read against the normal green/brown of baseball fields that the text is laid on top of. Also, Lindsay isn't straight, and it's her video to edit as necessary, so few regular subscribers care if she uses colors from LGBTQ flags for the text.

[@kristopherwagner4173]

Makes sense. You can’t have everyone bitching

[@jacobrichardson1952]

🤣 this is hilarious for an early ejection 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tcrain9]

Look into the Christian Walker ejection from yesterday. Think the umps put him last on the hierarchy for his soft ejection.

[@LindsayImber1]

1. Spectators 2. Head Coaches/Managers 3. Players 4. Assistant Coaches 5. Hands

[@rayray4192]

What is it with you and the other umpire haters and the word “ soft?” MLB umpires are tough as steel.

[@callmeishmael4870]

Dude definitely had dinner reservations somewhere in town
