MLB 2018 August September Ejections

[@milwaukeejt]

Ahmed's ejection (11:00): He 's being guided away by a coach, but can't resist turning back for one more outburst -which sounded to me like the magic word from "Bull Durham". Announcers, "He was walking away, with his back to the umpire, and he was thrown out of the game." (I wonder if their contracts are coming up for renewal.)

[@milwaukeejt]

Repeat with Souza's ejection (about 29:00). Amazing how the announcer misses the turned head and shoulders as Souza, like Ahmed, can't resist that parting shot that gets them ejected.

[@milwaukeejt]

And repeat with Harper. Big hint guys: if you turn your head to make sure the umpire hears that last comment, the umpire *will* hear it. Congratulations, you just earned your ejection.

[@ConMetalFan]

How is so many baseball announcers don't know that where the ball hits the catchers mitt is irrelevant? The only thing that matters is where the ball crosses the plane of the plate. MLB pitchers have a lot of movement on their pitches so very rarely will the ball be in the place when it hits the catchers mitt as it was when it crossed the plate.

[@talegunner4414]

I hate when the ump tries to play Buddy Buddy then throws the player out. I know what would happen but I would love to throw a right hook sometimes. I have seen the ump belly bump the player but dont try that as a player. I believe there should be a process to remove a bad ump in the game, ump ejection. Maybe a coach can override an ejection?

[@TheCpadron19]

You're a fucking idiot. The gesture that you're referring to was him saying that the umpire made two bad calls, hence why you could read his lips say twice as soon as he held them up. And 4-13 ain't a balk either, at least not one the home plate umpire had the angle on; Which is why Verlander and the coach were pissed. Damn I wish people who didn't understand the game would take some time before they look like idiots in a comment.

[@blacktimhoward4322]

That point is irrelevant and I'm tired of hearing it. The ump's job is to eject a player if he violates any of a long list of rules. The fact that people paid to see a player has no bearing on an ump's decision, because the rulebook gives it no bearing. If the people are upset they don't get to see the player they paid for, they should be mad at the player for breaking that rule in the first place. If an ump ignores an ejectable offense because people like that player, he is in fact ignoring the job he was hired to do. The 'I want to see X so I deserve to see X' mentality is childish

And that wasnt just any umpire. It was Greg Gibson the Home Plate Legend

[@kirstensledge4107]

I love when you see that the visiting team is even confused over the umps decisions of throwing someone out. “Oh you’re going to argue with my shit ass decision that no other ump has had an opinion over? BYE”

Def Con 1 to Def Con 5 nobody ever seen Wargames?

[@bannon1994]

“He was thrown out before the ball got out.” lol

[@linkin0983]

I wish there were punishments for umpires for making awful, and unfair calls.

hey jose why dont you put that beer you drinking down and get off the couch and give it a try umpiring

@@WHITEBOY1283 I don't have to be an umpire to know when they screw up. Your argument is pathetic. Try again.

[@WHITEBOY1283]

@@NobleRenegade7its not an argument its an observation.. why dont you look at the overall picture. there is a human factor involved here and they dont get the luxury of seeing it in slow motion but they never get credit for doing a great job. dont see you clowns jumping on these overpaid players cant make a routine play or even throw a strike

Geezus... is Joe West somehow involved in every cluster #$% in major league baseball?

[@billevans6521]

Has he retired? If not, wow he sure do need to!!!

[@Redpoppy80]

No. I have seen far worse and higher frequency from Angel Hernandez. Joe is just an authoritarian wannabe who can't take what he gives but Hernandez would be LONG gone if he didn't pull every identity card and have a union with too much power. P.S: This is coming from a PRO-union person.

If Zobrist argues your call, you apologize.

[@mal1c3_kiag18]

I dont understand why they get mad when the ump issues a warning to both teams

[@giantmess4335]

because they takes away any chance for the receipt to be cashed in. the one team rang it up and no one got ejected but now if the other team does they will, it is a give and take game, if you play like shit you will understand that you or one of you teammates will also have to feel a little pain for you.

[@BigSkyCurmudgeon]

walking away from the ump still chirping about the pitch changes nothing- ur tossed

[@josephjackson7269]

That’s the guber ump again. Like guber on Andy Griffith show

[@bigtbake61]

Words are still heard when you turn your back. That’s such a dumb thing to say, “he was walking away”.

[@jamarflorence4246]

Pretty much. Lol

[@brandonfeldbauer7948]

Words can’t always be heard, however if a player makes a move then it can get someone ejected.

[@Nomilus]

When you're bitter that you could never make it past high school baseball, you ump, and take it out on whoever you want to. All depends on who pays you more to throw at-bats.
