One of my favorite things about baseball is the arguments between managers and umpires. Apart from being entertainment in themselves, I love when a player feels he’s been cheated, the manager always marches out there and has his back. To take that ejection so his player can stay, or to join his player. Athletes at any level will play harder when they know their manager/coach/captain/teammate has their back.

The Catcher blocking the ump from going up to the pitcher is a legend.

[@xavierstrong5437]

The study released last year by Boston University showed definitively that older umps with 10 or more years in the Majors are far LESS accurate than younger ones with little experience. Jerry Layne, 61 years old and with 29 years in the bigs, had the most wrong calls (14.2%), while John Libka, 32, with 1.5 years, had the least (7.6%). The study looked at the 10-year period encompassing the 2008-2018 seasons. Obviously those with less than a decade of experience couldn't be judged on the entire 10 years the study looked at. But because the results were based on a "Bad Call Ratio" for each ump -- one that reflects the percentage, not the number, of every ball/strike and safe/out call each ump got wrong -- it's still pretty valid. And in case you're wondering, Joe West and Angel Hernandez -- the two umpires fans seem to love to hate -- were NOT on the list of Top 10 Worst Umpires over the 10-year period (though West WAS 2nd worst in the 2018 season.)

[@bradmorris5797]

That doesn't make their failures less egregious, though. It's interesting to note that they're not really wrong all that often, but I don't think West and Hernandez are unpopular because of the frequency of their bad calls - it's simply because they seem to save them for when they would be most critical...and when they're wrong, they're really _wrong_. I'm personally not that hard on West, but some of Hernandez's call in the past have been just atrocious.

Hi it should've been a warning especially because he didn't even hit him. Everybody knew the scenario, so the umps should've warned both benches before the game even started if they were gonna have an instant ejection.

[@brandonmilligan7706]

Listen to any manager and they HATE warnings. It prevents teams from settling it themselves with their own 'code of justice'. If you KNOW there is intent, and there clearly was there, an umpire can eject to control the game. In this case, to prevent anyone else from being intentionally thrown at, which is where that game would have gone otherwise. The ejection is absolutely the right call.

[@brandonmilligan7706]

Which is exactly what warning teams prohibits. One team's pitcher stays in because he hit the guy first, creating the warnings, then the next guy gets tossed for hitting a player on the first team. Keep up.

The outfield fly rule in a playoff game gets me every time. That ball 225 ft from home plate, 47’ farther than any previously called IFR. Ball was closer to the fence than it was to the infielder. Dude literally waited for the ball to drop to call it, which defeats the purpose of the rule.

[@sillydilly6927]

I remember a play last year between the Cardinals and Red Sox. The Cardinals were up one with the thing and winning runs on base in the bottom of the ninth. The cards pitcher, John Brebbia, was in a groove. He came set and took a while to pitch. The home plate umpire then called time because he 'needed a break' Brebbia's groove was broken and we ended up losing. No one asked the umpire for time. He called it himself for no reason.

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

Silly Dilly 692 - Actually, an umpire is within his rights to call time without being asked by the batter if he feels the pitcher is taking too long to deliver. In that instance, I think the ump was more than justified in calling time as the pitcher was in his set position for 7 seconds before the ump called time. That's just ridiculous. I won't comment on how he handled himself during the argument from the Cardinals or how terrible his strike zone was during the game, but in that instance, he was right to call time on his own.

@@JoePlatt1 I think it's because the umpires called an infield fly despite the ball being in the outfield. I get it, though, because the miscommunication could have just been a trick to keep the runners from scoring and maybe get a force out somewhere.

[@JoePlatt1]

@@SamRBCAh okay, from looking it up I think it meant that you could have been called out even if the ball wasn't caught because it is a ball that would have been a simple catch that wouldn't be dropped?

[@AntediluvianInternetEntity]

@@JoePlatt1 By the absolute most technical interpretation of the rule, the call was right because an infielder was attempting to make a catch on a ball that wasn't a line drive nor bunt with less than two outs and a runner on first and second. The problem is that the rule is there as a patch to stop infielders from being able to engineer easy double plays by dropping infield pop ups. The rule is clearly not meant for this situation. A really simple fix would be to just add that the ball has to be hit within the infield for the rule to apply. I don't think they ever did it. Maybe this call was so egregious they think it'll never happen again. Which is foolish.

[@Chris-sy2el]

No that was the correct call. A common misinterpretation of the rule is that the ball must land in the infield. However, it is just any ball that an infielder goes to get, even if it's partly in the outfield. So yes, that was the correct call to make because an infielder turned to go get it and was going to until he got called off, but by that point the call had been made.

[@Austinole11]

That first one is just brutal.. you review the neighborhood play on the double play and can’t call the obvious interference.
