Ejection 040 - Derek Shelton Ejected for Complaining About Mark Ripperger's Lower Strike Zone Border

[@jakej4805]

Finally shelton stands up for his team

[@jacksonboi7768]

A coach that does need to stand up for his team is a dude named AJ Hinch

[@DrewC41]

That’s on the catcher. The more he frames every pitch like it’s right down the middle the more the ump thinks that must have been a ball.

[@bradt7451]

You mean pull? Yank? Butcher? Framing is a catching moniker that is 100% bullshit.

[@bradt7451]

Let’s pull the pitch from a borderline down pitch to the middle of the zone because horsesh1t catching is the norm. If he sticks that pitch instead of yanking it like a 10U catcher it probably was a strike.

[@jeremiahhodge4015]

Y’all going to make a video on John Libka’s near perfect game?

[@eilois]

It might be close call but not controversial, as there is no player ejected or player to be blamed

[@jamiethornton6101]

I brought this up on CCS the other night. Even Jomboy did a nice piece on what a great job John Libka did on his near perfect game.

[@RobertSmith-qu7wd]

Would love to see that too. Libka's mechanics on pitches are a treat to watch. His consistent timing, positioning, etc would make for a great tmac's teachable.

[@2332Stephen]

The problem is,the catcher is trying too hard to frame the pitch..the pitch is fine where he catches the ball but he's bringing his glove up too far so it's making the pitch look more like a ball because it looks like the catcher is trying to sell it..if he frames the pitch and keeps his glove still..he might actually get the call.

[@keithmiath]

The catcher jerking the glove all over the place indicates to the umpire he doesn’t think it’s a strike. Stick the pitch.

[@Greasyspleen]

LOL Ripperger's face when the crowd cheers the strike call.

@Lian Lawrence thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!

[@lianlawrence5671]

@Lucca Jesus You are welcome xD

[@maxswenson6605]

The catcher is clearly yanking the ball on all the close pitches. Umpires don’t like that. Catch the ball where it is and the ump will call it where it is. Yank it and as a catcher you are telling the ump “I don’t think it’s a strike but maybe I can fool you into calling it a strike”. So you won’t get the close ones. Catcher here is a poor receiver of the ball.

[@Master15846]

Wtf are you smoking, all major league catchers frame pitches clown

[@mptr1783]

@@Master15846 Theres a difference between framing and yanking...........clown

[@alanhess9306]

@@Master15846 What you need to understand is that yanking a pitch into the zone is not framing, clown.

[@robertbrown7470]

Get rid of the stupid box. It's umpire's judgment, it's baseball. There's more complaints about balls and strikes even though the ball/strike calls have probably improved a great deal. It's getting ridiculous.

[@patrickolaughlin6027]

The catcher is not framing those pitches the right way. He's moving them too far.

[@sellison2192]

That's all on the catcher. If he does a slight frame vs a drastic frame job makes it look different to the ump

[@potomacwii7130]

i lost it when the ump yelled "get the fuck out of here" lmao

[@Rabbi_D]

lost it at I don't know if you're hearing what we're hearing YUP!

[@chaystout8971]

Why is the catcher jerking his glove up? That’s little league stuff. It tells the umpire he thinks it’s a ball too.

[@jamiethornton6101]

Those were two great pitches that caught the zone. Clearly those were strikes, but I would be curious if Ripperger wasn't calling the low strike all night. I would have to see the charts.

[@Downsouthroots]

@Coding Crusader YES!!!

[@dahillbillynews5923]

I have been sating this for 3 years now and if they want to stop a lot of the BS they need to put the Strike/Ball window up on the scoreboard FOR EVERYONE to see, fans coaches and umpires and I think there would be a BIG improvement in the umpires calls or maybe a BIG LOAD of fan ejections for getting on the umpires or a BIG LOAD of Manager Ejections for objecting to the calls from the umpires. Either way everyone will be able to see the calls and know where the pitch was. It will make the day at the ballpark a little more fun for everyone.

[@stevedandy973]

CONSISTENCY is the key in calling balls and strikes. By doing so, both teams will adjust accordingly. ⚾️

[@bradt7451]

MLB teams will always bitch about balls/strikes whether the umpire is consistent or not...it’s what they do.

[@zachreese6540]

The way these catchers are pulling their gloves is embarrassing....

[@BrockAlkireSports]

There’s 2 more coming up

[@teurypotter1218]

4:00 Shelton Says WAKE THE (BEEP) UP!🤣🤣😅😅😆😆

[@HectorHustles]

Wow the umpire drop a F bomb knowing mlb he won’t be in trouble

[@bradt7451]

Get the fvck outta here is the norm

[@servmlrcc]

So you didn't hear the manager drop the F bomb first?

[@VisibilityFoggy]

Why should he get in trouble anyway? They're grown men. Not everything has to be sanitized and kid-friendly.

[@devinbrown1775]

Oh Mark! You did it again. Oh! Nevermind!

[@LoveLawWill]

Just subbed Great work!! This channel should gave Jomboy status!

[@The_Manducklorian]

That umpire should be fined/ suspended or something. An umpire should never be allowed to say to anyone get the fuck outta here. Umpires need to keep their emotions in check or they shouldn’t be umpiring.

[@ballison41]

Commentators are wrong. Those calls were the right calls. Arguing with an ump over balls and strikes is the fastest way out of the game.

[@familysmith6758]

Way too much glove movement by the catcher

[@ShatterHumor]

Some might say, Rip got his money's worth.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

"Get the fuck outta here!"

Was not the exact same place.

How does MLB feel about umpires telling a manager to "get the fuck out of here" while ejecting them?

[@alexyerkey3141]

Umps have been shit to the pirates all year because they are a young struggling team

[@mptr1783]

hahahahaha, so thats why the Pirates stink!?!? Got it

[@VisibilityFoggy]

They've been a struggling team for the better part of the last half-century.

[@jaschlit]

Umps need to realize that their job is potentially on the line. They need to have the best game of their life every night otherwise the argument for going to a computer is easily made. It’s a tall order and past bad calls or umps you have to “prepare for” have made it even harder. The Joe West’s and Angel Hernandez’s have made the inevitable change, whenever it happens, an easy call for mlb.

[@davidstrouse5048]

Have you seen the Atlantic League? Robo ump frequently calls pitches in the dirt strikes. MLB umpires avg. 90%+ accuracy. Robo ump will be worse. Tech nerds are ruining the game in so many ways. This is just one more. Baseball was 1000 times better in the 80s and 90s. Teams manufactured runs. Guys didn't whine every time thet struck out. Games didnt take 4 hours with 15 pitching changes. Nerds who never played the game are ruining it.

[@davidstrouse5048]

As bad as you may think West and Angel are, they are the best in the world. It takes years of toiling in the minors to finally make it. Joe West has umpires over 5,000 big league games. You expect him to never miss one?

[@duffyy1]

Only took 5 bad calls to get pissed off. Be a man and stand up for your team.

way to go RIP!!!!! take out the trash 🗑

[@danflores2346]

stop talking during videos

They have those strike boxes in all the parks let the computer call balls and strikes that way take human judgement out and let the umpires do the rest foul balls, catches, base running etc....
