MLB 2015 July Ejections

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

With all the new rules coming to baseball I come here to see how fun ejections were back them vs how they are 9 years later 😢 back when they could really 'get their moneys worth'

[@jackjon7763]

Can announcers just be consistent either love and die by the pitch track or be iffy on it. We consistently hear oh that’s not a strike followed by well remember it’s not 100% accurate in a different situation.

[@terminator23destroyer15]

Do you know that they use the same technology when it comes to replay

[@10-3leader]

Because announcers are employed by the teams they cover. Their position varies depending on who is getting shafted.

[@danbaranowski]

1:53-4:35 BOS vs. TOR/SD vs. STL 6:21-11:02 SF vs. WSH/STL vs. CHC (Yaider Molina needed to get a grip and focus on the ballgame instead of beefing with the home plate umpire and letting an inside-the-park home run occur during his argument) 15:03-20:16 STL vs. PIT/TOR vs. KC 29:35-30:27 CWS vs. BOS

[@SarahDigsHockey]

5:44 ... Why does Pena remove his gear only to carry it into the clubhouse? Why didn't he just leave it on and remove it once he got to the clubhouse?

[@crosslinezero3572]

He was in the middle of rage. Couldn't think clearly.

[@storyofcory]

That Pirates screw-up was pretty egregious (not to mention horrifically obvious it was a strike). Holy. Wow.

[@harryfrezza1931]

Love Cervelli

[@jerryking45]

Look at Big Brad boxing out!!

[@rc24caldwell19]

The Vogelsong one was hilarious. I mean, I freely admit that there must have been some questionable calls earlier in the game, but Cuzzi's call of ball on that pitch was correct. It looked low in full speed...it looked low on the slo-mo replay....and it was low on the tracker. Add to that Vogelsong's reaction after the pitch, then after he got told not to walk in after the initial discussion, he deserved to be tossed one hundred percent.

[@leifopstad2972]

Add in Curt Schilling's terrible critic and it's even funnier

[@Mr.Jtea3]

K.

[@chriscraven9335]

Love that you can often hear the cursing. Was watching a Tribe game awhile back, after return from commercial, cam cut to Trevor Bauer in dugout after being pulled, just in time to catch him slam down his glove and clearly shout 'Fuckin SHIT!'. I lol'd for real.

[@chinesepugs-bestbreedofdog7254]

Víctor Martínez, Miguel Cabrera, and Brad Ausmus all got ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes.

[@thescoutabout]

Okay. That chicken song.

[@DaveFromBrooklyn]

Why is 15:05/Mark Reynolds a problem? I know next to nuthin about baseball, btw.

[@Alsebra]

On the pitch prior (count of one ball and two strikes), Reynolds swung at the pitch and completely missed it (should be strike three and out); the home plate umpire called it a foul, though, which left Reynolds at bat (fouls are strikes up to strike two and are not counted against the batter afterwards...you can keep going as long as you keep making contact, in most situations)...his extra chance (based on the incorrect call) yielded a home run.

[@Harakiri-ir1xr]

why did the umpire do the ejection when the coach discuss with his players like 14:25 . Is this not allowed?

[@OrsilloFanClub]

19Harakiri76 I think the coach was arguing about balls and strikes

[@Alsebra]

The manager may have been out there to "talk to the pitcher"...but his real intent was to go off about the officiating. Another clip in a different video shows a manager yelling at "his team" when he's actually yelling about calls that didn't go their way...the ump walked out, listened, then hooked the manager (who then fired off *at* the ump). It's all an attempt to argue calls without visibly arguing calls...but it's just as asinine, all things considered (and it's kind of a dick move to stall the game like that, too).

[@secularteejay]

That breaking ball at 11:33 was filthy

[@JOEY_YAMAN]

Did someone forget Harper’s against the Mets on July 31st?

[@BillsFan-nw8nn]

It seems like Gibbons is in each of these videos lol

[@marknan5352]

Umpiring is a not an easy job.

[@clurnmonster7505]

Jerry Meals never got the credit he deserved for being a really shitty umpire.

[@jerryking45]

Angel Hernandez got most of the heat for the umpires

[@chriscraven9335]

Yep, Craig Counsell still looks 12

[@jessebeeghly3608]

He looks like someone I know and I can’t put my finger on it lol

[@kwamp84]

RIP Paul Schreiber

[@storyofcory]

With respect to the Boston/Toronto game that starts at 1:54, the commentators are saying that Gibby's "owed" an explanation as to why New York made the call they did. *I* think that is a valid argument. While I understand that you can't argue the call after the review has been completed, I *do* think that some plays *do* merit some more detailed explanation. Here's the problem with that, though... the call is being made IN. NEW. YORK. CITY. and being RELAYED to the umps in the game in which the play is being reviewed. There's no way you *CAN* get an explanation, unless you - as manager - put on a headset, yourself, and talk to the people in NYC - and we all know *THAT'S* not gonna happen.

[@Alsebra]

At that point, the umps are just the messengers...and yet, the on-field personnel *still* lose it on the umps (classic case of "shooting the messenger").

[@FiddleSticks03]

Managers/players are allowed to ask for an explanation, only when they start arguing they’ll get tossed.

[@brandoncurtis6535]

Call an ump an ass hole seems to be the magic word lol that's funny

[@tonystone1016]

Almost any curse word will get a player/manager tossed.

[@norocomgt]

This is like professional wrestling…umps generate massive heel heat.

[@TheSkirvo]

27:04 . I thought the umpire gave Joe a lot of time. How could the commentators call that a quick hook ? Biased commentators

[@kylepeikert8508]

Shame on Carapazza

[@kylepeikert8508]

Phil Cuzzi is a good umpire

[@chinesepugs-bestbreedofdog7254]

I’ve always thought about arguing balls and strikes.

[@kylepeikert8508]

Phil cuzzi when he was umpiring that game when he ejected voggelsong he should not be ejecting him for that that is wrong

[@brianjennings8696]

Major league umpires are the biggest babies

[@Alsebra]

Arguably, the players and managers are bigger babies...can't handle someone making mistakes, can't handle making mistakes themselves, can't follow (or don't know) the rules.

[@kylepeikert8508]

You cannot say get moving

[@遠藤大晃-o2c]

審判が退場

[@stykman22]

I didn't even know that thing with Rizzo was a rule.

[@topdawgrhodes243]

it is and tbh it was properly called... if the 1b wants to cheat in on a bunt thats fine but if he does it and then its a pick off its an attempt (even inadvertently) to confuse the runner. good call, bad circumstances for Rizzo

[@Alsebra]

​@@topdawgrhodes243, that was my thought. Rizzo moving just before the play started was a definite attempt to deceive...had he done so earlier (playing in on a poor hitter/probable bunt) or as the pitcher started the wind-up, it wouldn't have been called.

[@peterframtid5168]

Why do the umpires hate the Tigers so much?

[@kamyriengillies1781]

They wanna get them back by not let the Yankees win the world series

[@RickGee-oq8ny]

Big deal with ecall❤

[@DarkKirby14LP]

Davidson, Carrapazza, Hernandez and West would be the worst crew ever

[@karlricker3291]

Arguing challenges will get you ejected from the game.

[@windwhipped5]

Those umps were sorta wusses..retire when u cant ignore emotion..

[@lucienshapiro4691]

Ur making $25 million a year and ur gonna lose your mind over a couple of borderline pitches. You know with 2 strikes you gotta be swinging at anything in the vicinity. Spoiled brats

[@Gary-h9n]

Every umpire should have to watch each of their calls, good and bad as education. Every announcer should be fined each time he/she uses the phrase “ got his money’s worth “.

[@devinbrown1775]

Adam Hummoron is the worst umpire next to Ron Kulpa.

[@lakeeriesailor2852]

and Joe West

[@DarkKirby14LP]

Angel Hernandez not exist to you

[@leifopstad2972]

It's spelled Hamari

[@Alsebra]

What's wrong...don't like the fact he was caught trying to deceive the runner?

[@FiddleSticks03]

Hamari isn’t even that bad 🤣

[@corbinselanne7990]

The easiest spot on a baseball field to replace after an ejection is the DH, because all they're tasked to do is bat for the pitcher

[@jeremeedwards596]

Bad balk call

The ejection of Napoli because his helmet bounced into the ump was pathetic.

[@Raider025]

But by rule, it's correct. Firing off equipment is enough to get ejected. Considering he could've kept his helmet on and not thrown it, I say he deserved that one.

[@Alsebra]

"Pathetic" or not, it's still considered "abuse of official" and is thereby grounds for ejection. The alternative is basing it on intent and leaving it up to the player's word vs. the umpire's word...and it'd be argued vehemently *every single time*. Easier for all involved for it to be considered abuse of official and equally penalized.
