Craziest Baseball Umpires

Some of the funniest and crazy umpires of all time.

[@lucasazx5474]

Imagine being 10 years old and striking out, then hearing the umpire yelling "Whoomp There it is!" behind you

[@gregayala568]

That’s fucked ☠️

[@kitdatkat]

STRIHIIIIIIII WHOLETTHEMDAWGSOUT HOOHOOHOOHOO

[@itsjuststrict8785]

Just remember their face. Crush the ball next time. And when you get that home run say “Who there it is!”

[@sheepdavis]

10 year old don't know that song

[@DarrylBarnes]

Id laugh and go to the batting cage..if you don't like getting rung up. Put the ball in play.

[@garyisgaming1224]

I find this highly entertaining

[@gratefulaya192]

it makes me want to watch the game again

[@patrickmertz3483]

Me too. I’m not even that big a fan of baseball

[@rileysewell6574]

This is freaking hilarious.

[@davidcurtis5398]

As an official I find most all of these embarising...

[@Srgfowler]

[@TeeterTuckin]

Hum'at thing in there!

@M Soccer is the worst sport and it will always be the worst

[@gerro2466]

Why does the guy at 5:16 sound like that blue bird from angry birds?😂

[@loganyork1741]

[@chengbros6101]

@M gay

[@johncronin9540]

@M First, the question is popular in terms of people playing, or popular in terms of people watching. Right now, in the US, in terms of watching, NFL Football, not baseball is now the most popular. But far more people play (in organized leagues) either baseball and softball, (with many post collegiate adults playing slow pitch softball), than play American football. Basketball is also popular, because the costs for players is lower than baseball and American football. Soccer is most frequently played by kids, less so than adults, and people have been saying for years that soccer would overtake football in the US. That just hasn’t happened, as most kids move on and WATCH other sports. The popular support of particular sports can vary depending on location. But soccer hasn’t supplanted the big four (Football, baseball, basketball and hockey). It can also depend on whether the local team is good or not. The big three used to be baseball, boxing, and horse racing, but the latter two have really dropped off from what they used to be. It also took a long time for professional football to surpass college football (again, this varies a bit depending on location within the US) And don’t forget auto racing, which is extremely popular in certain parts of the country (the South), but not in others. I live in New England, and surprisingly, the biggest stadium is a NASCAR stadium in central New Hampshire (not far from Concord, NH). It’s bigger than Fenway Park (Red Sox) in Boston, and Gillette Stadium (Patriots). But the fans of NASCAR tend to come from northern New England, not as much in southern New England. Interestingly, one of the most popular sports globally is related to baseball. I am speaking of Cricket. It’s popular in many former colonies of the UK. But hey, variety is the spice of life.

[@RicoLee27]

@M call it football and why are you saying this random useless shit?😂😂😂😂

[@jasondemuth]

We had 2 umpires during a tournament and they did stuff like this. At the end of it they had told me that they acted like this so when they made a bad play people would not be mad 😂

[@dillanlasater9129]

The 2 chainz one gets me every time LOL

[@BasedWindex]

HOOOOOOOOOOO 2 CHAINZ

[@dillanlasater9129]

Mace Windex LOL

[@mikey-nm3od]

love these, when i played little league we had a umpire that had the most epic evil/cool laugh that he would do when someone struck out looking, ill never forget that

[@-God-Loves-Me-]

1:09 I can´t believe he went there!

[@d4v1dfor3v3r]

I think these umps like their job a little too much.

[@Tkn5648]

I think the blue jays destroyed texas a little too much.

[@d4v1dfor3v3r]

Habsfan34 _ says the Habs fan. At least the Rangers make the playoffs in their shitty division.

[@Tkn5648]

Dal Bondra disappointed you didn't recognize me but it's a pretty good war going on right now beetween the jays and texas. the rangers just didnt look ready today.

[@d4v1dfor3v3r]

Habsfan34 _ Hamels also sucked on the mound, nobody could hit the damn ball, lets just say it was a terrible game from the Rangers standpoint and from a rivalry standpoint because rivalries form from tight games, not blowouts. Whatever, Happ sucks, he'll get lit up for sure :P

[@Tkn5648]

Dal Bondra our goal was to win 1 game in texas so I don't really care if we lose tomorrow. We have to win the 2 games in Toronto now

[@erichuffman6665]

Dude if I had an ump like that when I pitched, i would've been crying laughing lmao

[@eauhomme]

And if you had him when you were batting, especially as far off the plate as many of those were, you'd have probably just been crying. Or cussing.

[@eauhomme]

Nothing wrong with having fun as an umpire. I did it for 15 years, and I had a variety of 3rd strike calls. However, I kept in mind a couple rules of thumb, which I see violated here: 1> Never show up the batter (most important--it's bad enough to strike out. It's worse if you feel like the umpire is mocking you) 2> Never take your eye off the ball (it's embarrassing missing a dropped 3rd strike or steal of home because you're in the middle of your little dance) 3> Never start the call before the pitch is caught (I saw a lot of movement before the pitch got to home, which leads to expanding the zone) 4> Never use your right hand to signal a ball (The guy at 4:28 would be terrible to work with).

[@stephaniemalley3529]

interesting

[@kravis_6131]

its very annoying for a ball player, and ump did that at one of my games last year and I told him to shut the fuck up, I got ejected but it was worth it he didn't do it the rest of the game

[@eauhomme]

As I said, you dont't show up the batter. I was a bit of a Naked Gun, but I didn't do anything that would make the batter look bad, and didn't say anything stupid (If I was working a game and my partner said "Mama Said Knock You Out" on a strike three, I'd refuse to work with him again). It's got to be about the players, not you.

[@gluskinator7383]

Same thing happened to me and I was a catcher. The ump did it through the whole at bat and the pitcher was throwing heat, I called for a fastball over my right shoulder but got "mixed up" with a curve-ball. We ended up striking the batter out looking and it took a good few seconds for the him to finish his "routine." All I said to him was shut the fuck up and call it don't play it out, the game isn't about you, and I got thrown out quicker than any of his calls that game.

[@dragonyt_6763]

eauhomme sdd

[@WPUpioneer]

4:02 Dutch Rennert would be proud!

[@johnnyg2049]

At least Dutch didn't run halfway up the line to call a strike...he just shifted to one side. I was at a game when Dutch was behind the plate, and I could hear him from the third deck out in left field.

[@drew425]

I like how some umps be like "HUUUUURGH STRIIIIIIIIKKE TWOOOOOOO" and then in the slightest whisper "bal"

[@eauhomme]

Most umps don't say anything for a ball.

[@twoteo27]

Where was this for me when I was playing baseball?

[@nohitter34]

Dude 1:38….that hit that whip hard 😅

[@jhmclellan]

This needs to be re-titled to, "When the Ump Thinks He is More Important than the Game".

[@supravista]

nailed it... and it has to be vary distractive for the players.

[@dfaircloth30]

jhmclellan absolutely and a lot of them had bad stances and mechanics

[@Admiral.Snakbar]

when umpires get so bored it hurts.

[@shredder3371]

They're just trying to have fun with the kids, and clearly they were enjoying it.

[@damianwilliams4059]

[@ayezz2811]

I once had this ump and whenever it was a strike he would go, "BEEE-DOOOOO" And it was hilarious.

[@hawkibricks123ltd4]

😂😂😂 This is sooooooo funny! The jousting and flip one are sooo hilarious. I’m actually crying after having watched this! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sachinnair1613]

0:56 when you umpire so hard you voice crack 👌

[@beaniebrovr8808]

the 3rd umpire was crazy,"StrIIIIIIIKe ,STRIIIIIkkkkkke2,RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"💀

[@bigjuice7020]

How do these players even play straight with a crazy umpire?😂

No, that dude is high af

[@josepholiva0777]

These the umpires I want during my season coming up 🤣🤣🤣

[@g0nzisg0n3]

A lot of these look like the umps r in an anime fight😂🤪

[@myaplxys2288]

😂 the playful ones and the one who said NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA CANT TOUCH THIS😂

[@anti-ticktickspecialforces1871]

I play on all stars baseball and the umps like YEET and our dugouts like YEET

[@Daroola415]

I can't what that's scene in The Naked Gun without laughing to tears.

[@Ana-nw7gs]

I've had some crazy umps but OML 😂😂😂😂😂

[@scottyarbour2570]

3:33. I was not expecting that one 😂

[@XxFAMOUSxX19]

2:50...what in the hell is she swinging at

[@kellengonda1863]

shes a girl what do you expect

[@kellengonda1863]

uh oh, here come the triggered feminists

[@nickb5717]

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?????? TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DAK4Blizzard]

Wouldn't be surprised if the umpire's enlarged strike zone was a factor. (See the pitches at 2:14 and 2:45.) That's not to say I'm opposed to calling such pitches in the vicinity of the plate strikes. Especially for that age group where the pitching will be less consistent. Just giving a potential explanation. Another possibility could be intimidation of the umpire; she may want to take the chance of missing to avoid the chance of being called out on strikes looking.

[@Crichtonator1982]

Can you imagine these umpires in the Major League Baseball? 😂😂😂 OMG, these umpires would be the highlight of every night on Sportsnet Central.😂😂😂 I wish umpires in MLB were this funny making these hilarious calls😂😂😂.

[@russs7574]

At the MLB level, I'd just settle for them GETTING the calls. Half of the umpires in MLB truly suck now. Every time Angel Hernandez f***s up, or Joe West makes a f***ing spectacle of himself, Dutch Rennert and Doug Harvey have got to be turning over in their graves. Rennert was proof that one could be a loud, demonstrative umpire and still be very good. Harvey was just the epitome of dignity on the field.

[@eauhomme]

Dutch Rennert was the most demonstrative umpire I ever saw in MLB. Great umpire, but on a routine strike call he moved several feet to the first base side, dropped to a knee, and pointed to the dugout. I wouldn't be surprised if he completely missed it when the catcher dropped the ball.

[@eauhomme]

Dutch Rennert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6DSipiYbM-po5Y

[@vesubioromo9425]

This is ridiculously funny! Umps can really add to the game, sometimes.

[@ZachGood]

0:12 - incredible Adam Sandler impression

[@andrewoconnor4761]

Could watch this all day long

[@jerff5411]

This video makes me want to go get drunk and volunteer to be an ump

[@devinsuero_5624]

3:46 I'm dead 😂😂😂😂

[@Ana-nw7gs]

These guys make me cry whether it's on purpose or not😂

[@exploitabilities1652]

Everybody thinks these umpires are funny but if you are playing, it's pretty fucking annoying

[@CadeStuart]

You gotta love what you do.

[@happypants6235]

My favorite is the umpire that goes huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu peanut butter jelly time

Umpire having lots of fun awesome

[@tristonking6050]

00:41 he sounds like the guy that starts the intro of spongebob

[@miamiwax5504]

When i was in little league in the 90s we had an ump who did the running man every time there was a strikeout.

[@potter3439]

Baseball is all about having fun and these umpires make it fun for everyone!

[@genericposterofaudio6837]

I'd trust the guy umpiring at 0:41 umpiring over Joe West or Angel Hernandez anyday

[@WisemanxSmash]

When I played little league we have ump's that were too quiet. I constantly had to ask what the count was. Then again I was that kid that only got on base by being hit or getting walked.

[@leondoucette5454]

They sound like Gandolf when he says YOU SHALL NOT PASS

[@hahalololl1904]

I want these umpires so badly.

[@jacobc3996]

if i was batting, i wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

It’s always something when you watch a baseball game and the umpire makes you have flashbacks to The Naked Gun.

[@swagmuffin9000]

Dude that runs away while calling strike outs was the best.

[@4074092899]

Thanks to this video and The Cleveland Show I want to be a Home plate umpire

[@SuicideSeason4545]

3:51 how I expected umpires to act during the 2022 MLB World Series. For those of you looking on years ahead this was a super heated and insane championship

[@linkin0983]

The last one with "Dame más gasolina" 😂

[@johnbagyan3244]

Hell, umpires having their time hhaa ha. Funny video.

[@DenverHornsbyJr]

Everyone gangsta til the umpire goes a bloody flip

[@vergell6005]

i laughed my head off that is a big LOL!

[@McFly2015AD]

Our little league ump only did this if you took strikes while looking, it motivated the batters to swing more because he didn’t want to spend 9 innings watching full count at bats.

[@georgiamule]

When personal ego gets in the way of the game.

[@Lonely-DmoeN]

10 years from now umpires be hitting the woh on strike 3 calls 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brimtime8117]

1:50 by far the best and most natural of these videos, all others are trying to make them the center of attention, an ump is suppose to be absent in all ball games

[@stevenmoy1596]

Fantastic look by the umpire at 3:30

[@cesarberrios2731]

I really don't care how they call strikes as long as they good calls

[@edmlegend7224]

This makes me want to strike out on purpose to see what other move he has up his sleeve.

"STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE 2CHAINZ" "STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE AND HE CLOSES THE SHOW LIKE THE CHAMPION THAT HE IS HUH" STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE HOOP DER IT IS HUH" "STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE WHO LET THEM DOGS OUT HUH!" "STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME PEANUT BITTER JELLY TIME HUH!" "STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE HOO DE LA GASOLINA HOO DE LA GASOLINAAAA!"

[@TheBanishedWind]

Who is that guy? Because if our church does another fun baseball game like a few years back I want him to ump

[@TheUrbanGaze]

I had one of these crazy umpires once. He had the "STRIIIIIIIKE OOOOOONE" call. The base umpire wasn't so crazy, but it turned out that he was the guy in the video of the time a Mariners groundskeeper had to catch a cat - that attacked him.

[@lscales6131]

This is funny for a little bit it would get old real quick during a game.

[@backcheck31]

As an umpire, this was painful to watch. There's a fine line between "fun" and unprofessional.

[@eddiethompson7066]

I'm okay with the ump being loud, clear and fun. But not humiliating let the player's play the game and encourage them to have fun and play hard Good ball
