That ump did an amazing job in de-escalating the Mets manager. He let him have his say and kept him away from the plate umpire. Fantastic work.

[@Tmillea]

However. It’s his job as the crew chief to make sure both managers know there are warnings. That’s his fault. That’s what Neil walker was saying. The umps didn’t tell them about the warning, then threw syndagard out right after he threw at utley.

[@Tmillea]

Frank Stark “our asses are in the jackpot” basically saying that mlb warned them to keep it under control but no one told the Mets and dodgers.

[@diezeled]

Even watching just the final 20 seconds you can see when the ump knows he deflated him and walks back on the field to go back to work.

[@e2go]

BS. He had a ton of excuses and lots to say but didn’t prior to the game when warnings should’ve been given. To throw a guy out with no warning is complete crap, and I don’t care what kind of babbling the umpire can muster in the moment to cover it up. Doesn’t make it right. Superficial take.

Really, as far as profanity laced rants go, that wasn't so bad. I think the only reason why MLB wants this to disappear is because Terry Collins criticized MLB's handing of Utley and was probably right about it.

[@PhillyLeotardo25]

Or because Joe Torre has a grudge against Mets 30 years ago. I noticed that POS had no problems with Clemens drilling Mike in the head. Noticed he had no problem with the grand wizard going out of his way to hit Tejada instead of touching the bag. He had no problem crapping on the Mets 2011 for honoring 9/11 on 10 year anniversary and the scumbag did the same crap this year. He had prostate cancer and I felt bad he had to go through that, So true die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[@Isoldijw79]

The real reason MLB tried to suppress this video is bc of the collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the umpires union. Legally they're not allowed to broadcast anything the umpires say on the field. That's supposed to change with the new agreement with the 2020 season. All umps will be wearing mic's.

[@joshuagodfrey7453]

@@aaronbrown1348 idiot

[@andreasgottlieb2758]

​@@ethank4692absolutely wrong, and it shows you have no idea about umpiring but just love to bash on them. The reason for most of the ejections is refusal to stop arguing after being told to do so and having been given an adequate amount of time to make a point, which is part of the standards for removal of the game, so umpires are required to eject the offender if that happens. You give the manager or whoever is arguing time to make his point, you tell him what you have and if, after a bit, the argument starts going in circles, meaning no new information is brought up, you tell them that the discussion is now over. If they continue to argue (with no new information or points brought up), the offender has to be ejected. Umpires don't make up the rules, but they have to enforce them.

Not a Mets guy and can’t remember the context, but I think Tommy basically meant “we’re between a rock and a hard place”. Eject Syndergaard and you piss off the Mets but make the Dodgers happy, don’t eject him and the reverse happens. All while know it was an errant pitch, but not know if it was intentionally errant or not. Assuming that was Syndergaard’s (and Met’s) first wild pitch that series and there was no recent history between the two teams, it probably only deserved a warning.

And he had his shot, that was his shot, right there. I mean everyone knows what the situation is. But yes, I am totally unclear what the context is. I have no context for the argument. I'm guessing that the at bat player did something earlier, and the umpire is about to discipline (maybe) for intentionally trying to hit the at bat player with his pitch. Other than that I got nothing. Although I'm thinking that one of the other articles lining here will have more context.

[@fergusbaumann8782]

The batter (Utley) did this the previous postseason: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZq8Y3qqd9d7q8k. He wasn't reprimanded by MLB, which is why Collins was mad the umps didn't let them get their "shot" to retaliate.

[@eddie7480]

Thank you for the context makes sense now. But what does RS is in the Jackpot mean?

[@megaphor]

In addition to what Adam said, "Our ass is in the jackpot" is a gambling reference meaning that the stakes are high and if they (the umpires) misstep, they will get massive fallout so they have to act pre-emptively so that the situation doesn't escalate further.

*"You Gotta Give Us A Shot! You Gotta Give Us A Shot!!"* You had your shot, buddy...and ya blew it.

[@richg4189]

Tom Hallion seems like a great guy to have a few beers with.

[@samuelclayton08]

why do i watch this 6× or more a year? Not even a Mets fan, guess i just love baseball

[@zjait7]

1:47 “Our ass is in the jackpot!” 😂

[@SnakeySniper]

This ump was fantastic and I will always have so much respect for how he handled it

[@haedyncavanagh]

Huge Mets fan. Hated the decisions TC made as a manager, but this audio was insight to how despite not being the best strategist, Terry had his players' backs. And Tom Hallion is great here too, defending the rookie ump and taking the brunt of TC's rage, and also disclosing how he disagreed with MLB's lack of discipline to Chutley. And of course for introducing "ass in the jackpot" to the common vernacular. Just a great video all around.

[@adamwatkins1150]

That's a good umpire right there. You can tell they respect him.

[@thomascristo1819]

Tom Hallion is a true blue baseball G. Understands the emotions and passion, and has tolerance for the people involved. Class act.

[@AmericaSpeaks1]

Thomas Cristo Hallion was also protecting one of his crew who was working the plate that night. He got Collins away from him ( He’s a better man than me; c**sucker would have started a fight with me) and let him get his grievance off his chest.

[@LondonSnaps1]

You gotta give us a shot! A classic. I rewatch this often.

[@Deel2506]

Need a Bad Lip Reading on this one

[@theMLBfan]

Not sure if they could top "our ass is in the jackpot here".

[@jeffreese8694]

The only word you would be able to read from that is ‘jackpot.’ You can’t say the letters b, f, m, p, v or w without moving your lips.

[@oldeenglishd45]

“I’m going to get my shot, Tom…” “You don’t want to get Corona, Terry…”

[@rainyxnightshade]

This was a good job of Hallion deescalating the situation while at the same time letting Collins get it all out and calming the situation

[@teddyj3998]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Managers needs to be mic’d up 100% of the time.

[@eggluver2152]

As raw as human emotion gets. Perfect

[@jballday3668]

Who came back after jomboy did a video on the Utley slide

[@joeyjones49]

I still come back to this video from time to time. If MLB was remotely smart, they’d give us way more of this stuff instead of trying to censor it.

[@JacobSch000]

This umpire showed mad respect for the game and I’d like to have his autograph he exercised extreme discipline within his job to keep everyone in the game cool and collected

[@TL2354]

Not happy respect?

[@withoutlimits16]

Love the passion. Love how the ref handled it. This is like the best real-life example i've ever seen of de-escalation.

[@monkeybread3004]

Lol "ref"

[@hildajara2289]

0:18 is the best moment in Mets History tell me what coach is willing to throw hands with the umpire

[@graz9372]

when terry said “you gotta give us a shot” that hit home hard. we all deserve a shot😢

[@N0Xa880iUL]

I keep replaying it ffs

[@Ancientofdayswarrior]

As a young guy Terry was our best manager. He didn't care what race u were. He just wanted results. Pray for him everyone.

[@jaredvaccarella9761]

this is my favorite video on youtube

[@brucewayne7773]

For those who don't understand what's going on, the previous season the batter, whose last name is Utley, came around second base in a way completely unheard of and uncalled for and slid into the mets second baseman so hard he did a flip. Then to ice the cake the dodgers managers challenged the call to say the second basemans foot wasn't on the bag when he caught the ball, so Utley was safe after all that. They wanted to hit him with a baseball BAD.. and Syndergaard here was about the 4th pitcher to give it a shot.

[@TL2354]

Yawn

[@Comanche15]

Easily my favorite mic’d up moment in all of sports.

[@minecraftcatmanplusg]

I love how the Mets players are trying to play dumb and I really love how you can tell how much terry cares about his guys

[@biggsweaty]

I love Terry Collins,man. This is so raw, so real. Wow, this still gets me goin.

[@BAYBears85]

Tom Hallion is one of the few umpires I know there names and actually like. You see Jim Joyce and Joe West doing ump show but I feel for Tom even when he has bad games.

[@luisurena9955]

I wish we saw this transparency everyday. The passion, rivalry and drama that comes into these games.

[@ASFALT21]

I don't even care for baseball but I looked it up because MLB tried to take it down

[@SirDuke81]

I wish most people could have this umpire's de-escalation skills. That dialog was incredible!!

[@ryjk]

I'm a die hard met fan but that was honestly just funny 😂

[@kennford]

I love the umps spidey sense that something is wrong when everyone stops talking and he hears the crowd getting louder and louder lol

[@carminemg]

The way Terry curses. Love this guy.

[@TheAbele992]

Don't ever let this video get lost

[@coolguy1127]

Terry Collins is still the best manager in years. All the heart of a New Yorker.

[@Widderic]

I just switched from The Sopranos to this and forgot I was watching baseball.
