MLB 2022 August Ejections

[@tendyedits1272]

That catcher rule is tough, I don’t know what else he can do there

[@storyofcory]

It's one rule that I understand both sides of, TBH. On one hand, if a catcher gets the throw early enough, it's perfectly good baseball to block the plate, in my opinion. You're preventing a run, right? That said, the runner *ALSO* has a "right" (if you will) to score. *I* think it's mostly dependent on how good and quick the throw is.

[@jasonandrews1770]

@@storyofcory yeah its tough but def better than letting catchers get run over. At least its only on the throw though. Once he has the ball he can block it all he wants

[@ga1980dawgs]

the one thing that i hate about it is that basically everytime, they are called out by the umpire and then it is overturned. the umpire clearly determined that the catcher was not blocking or interfering, if so, the umpire would call that right there on the field.

[@garywest2250]

that blocking the plate rule is the new "catch/no catch" rule from the NFL

[@chuckycheese84]

Love these ejection videos! IMO ejections are a badge of honour in baseball especially for managers

[@sirissac234]

This home plate interference rule has caused far far more problems than it ever solved. There is no way for a catcher to always keep his eyes on the ball while getting set for a tag and somehow still be aware to perfection of giving the runner a perfect lane. Even with this, because it is so subjective and the standard is basically one of perfection, any runner has a great chance of challenging and winning even on situations where they are clearly tagged out. It makes the game less fun to watch.

[@adenbond5155]

Amen

[@keithfalconer7529]

The interference rule is so bad … it’s getting to the point where the catcher can’t even catch the ball & then they will be worried about the rule which will lead to errors … such bs

[@chucky2569]

It's ridiculous back in the day you could block the plate and Runner could knock over the catcher which I don't agree with that but this is ridiculous I mean catcher now got to like try to tag him and stand on the side of the plate

There is a simple fix for this. Let the catcher tag the plate instead of the runner. That way the ump can clearly see who wins, and it keeps both runner and catcher from getting hurt.

[@wurm90125]

They need to adjust the Posey rule. It's out of control. The play involving Sanchez and Toronto is 100% horseshit. It's also gotten to the point where every play at the plate is getting challenged whether it's warranted or not because there's a better than average chance a replay will overturn it.

Soooo what was up with the first clip? It looked pretty clean to me. The catcher is receiving the ball and puts a quick tag while having his legs far apart so a sliding runner can go between them to still try to score which the runner does.

[@bannon1994]

9:32 Unfortunately for the commentators, the umpires are right. Nobody from either team CAN NOT come out after a challenge, it is an immediate ejection, because it is not their call, but rather the call of the officials up in New York.

Being allowed to block the plate with your body is absurd. If they are allowed to do that why doesn’t the catcher just lay on top of the plate every time their is a runner coming in and the pitcher can come down and field the ball while the runner is struggling to get under him.

[@EvergreenSystems23]

The thing about the catcher blocking the plate rule is that, when a call is overturned for blocking the plate, I kinda feel bad for the umps because it wasn't their call.

[@ZackAttack1295]

Count them ladies and gentlemen: 5 I repeat FIVE times the home plate collision rule came into play in the month of August. It had NEVER been called at any other point this season. Even when Kevin Cash from Tampa Bay challenged it in early July they did NOT overturn the call. And now all of a sudden, it’s been called left and right. Also another update, they called it two more times on Tuesday September 6th. Because it’s a hard rule to interpret it just adds more aggravation and frustrations. It’s too late for MLB to do anything about it this season. But they need to clarify this rule during the winter. As for the rest of this season, perhaps catchers should just wave the runners home, handing them a cold bottle of water and some sunflower seeds as they pass by. MLB needs to change this RULE NOW for better or worse for the integrity of baseball because in my honest opinion this is getting out of hand.

[@Daniel-36]

Soooo future catchers and outfielders there’s no more plays at the plate. If a guy is rounding third don’t throw the ball home, hit the cutoff man. Cause the run would score either way😐 they need to fix that rule and the umpires need to read it and understand it

So the Giants ejection of Kapler was because of a taunting gesture that Garcia made at them as a taunt. The umpires went to the Giants dugout and gave Kapler an earful, telling him how to manage his team which Kapler took offense to because he AGREED with the umps that Garcia was taunting and was going to deal with it so Kapler said some choice words and that got him his first ejection as a Giant. This was more because the Dodgers owned us BADLY this year and the Giants were playing like the worst team in MLB so tensions were very high in the entire clubhouse at the time.
