11:55 This is a good point. Having done this for six years (as an amateur, of course), I have a hard time singling out who is saying what sometimes. How these guys can hear the chirping over the crowd noise puzzles me. People always accuse umpires of having rabbit ears, but you sort of have to or things can get out of hand. This is an important game management issue.

[@robertbrown7470]

Decades of experience.

[@arinerm1331]

It's an even more important game management issue for umpires not to want to become part of the gameplay. A guy in the dugout, unseen and unheard by the crowd, shouldn't cause any reaction from the umpire at the plate. The umpire is the only person in the world who knows that guy is yelling at him. Why bring the attention of the audience to the issue that the umpire sucks? Shake it off. Keep the game going.

[@robertbrown7470]

@@arinerm1331 Depends on the situation. Take a little, take a lot. If it's going to develop into a bigger problem, it's usually a good idea to take care of it before it does. If it has a good chance of escalating, you better take care of it before it does.

[@XXelpollodiabloXX]

@@arinerm1331 As of now there have been 82 ejections this year. That's 82 in ~700 games this year, if my math is right. I 100% guarantee you that there is a *lot* of talk going on that doesn't result in an ejection. Players and managers tend to get a lot of rope, because it's a competitive situation, and most umpires get that. But there is a line, and the players and managers know where that line is, and have every opportunity to step back from it. I get your point - and to an extent I agree with it - but there are times when it simply isn't tenable.

[@lscales6131]

@@arinerm1331 they don’t the player or coach does it by talking. If it’s heard by the umpire its heard then. Just because some people can’t hear doesn’t mean they get to get away with it. You can’t argue balls/strikes or out/safe calls. It’s in the rules. Don’t get me wrong do I think some umpires get a kick out of throwing guys out sure I do but most of them give them plenty of leeway on it and they keep doing it.

[@lscales6131]

2:52 sorry but that’s on the catcher not know how to correctly frame a pitch. If you look at the good catchers you’ll see they don’t put their glove on any spot they bring it down and then they bring it to the pitch. This will make low balls look more like strikes instead of starting out low and then bringing it up quickly. He made it look as though the ball was low and he brought it up to the strike zone. Also any announcer that thinks umps should just let people talk back to them about out/safe ball/strike calls don’t know the rules and it can get annoying.

JT is the best catcher in baseball for a reason. Not only can he hit but he’s great at his position. He also knows he what else can and can’t get away with. That hit by pitch he knew if he argued and got it they couldn’t review it. Bush league? Maybe but smart nonetheless.

Played baseball from age 6 all the way through scholarship at Penn-state. The pitch timer is one of the greatest new rules to come to baseball. It eliminates all the mental games the batter plays, having their glove / pad rituals over and over after every pitch taking up so much unnecessary time. The timer alone has made baseball exciting again. Batting averages are up across the board, much higher scoring and competitive games in shorter time.... I could go on and on. Complaining about the timer is pure fud mentality.

[@ZachCremisiSky]

Some catchers are great at framing and it can trick umpires.

[@robertbrown7470]

at 2:53 why is the catcher pulling the ball up half a foot if he thinks it's a strike. Generally speaking he would be telling the umpire that the pitch was definitely low. If I'm the pitcher I'd be pissed. That was a good pitch butchered. I could see the umpire saying catch the ball right. He probably wanted to be ejected.

[@timothymongin658]

It was a rosin issue. The league didn't come down with full guidelines until after this and even now it's an ump judgement for what is too much rosin. Realistically, if the pitcher goes to the rosin bag too many times on a hot day and sweats into it too much, it makes a paste that gets them ejected. You could go out there with clean hands, pick up the bag a few times and get tossed if you're a 'sweaty palms' type of guy. German also got tossed one week later by the exact same crew for the same thing. Scherzer was the same thing. The Yankees had another pitcher almost get tossed because he had a new glove with some fur padding on the inside stick to the rosin on his wrist.
