MLB Ejections That Lead to Suspensions

[@fitter5423]

Umpires and football refs should have a press conference after the game to get questions about there bullshit calls to attempt to justify them.

[@44mag39]

That’s right exactly!!!

[@danshobbies13]

I’ve been saying the same thing.

[@hazelwood55]

With all the FanDuel/DraftKings money out there it is just a matter of time before there is a huge gambling scandal concerning refs/umps.

[@IamAwhiteMEXICAN]

[@1398go]

The first one’s hilarious….his coach was like….”hey, step back that’s my job to get into kissing range and yell at the umpire.” 😂😂😂

[@joed9491]

And what happens to these umpires who blow calls like Angel Hernandez? MLB seems to be good at handing down suspensions to players but there are times that umpires need to stop being protected by MLB.

[@mrcryptozoic817]

Yeah, MLB is quick to pounce on the players but fainting goats when it comes to umpires.

[@marcpower4167]

Only case I can think of, was the Pete Rose/Dave Pallone incident in 1988. At a game in Cincinnati, on a ground ball Pallone delayed calling the batter safe at first, as a result a run scored and denied the reds a chance to even try to throw it home. Rose stormed off the bench he and Pallone got in each other's faces, next thing you know, Rose shoved him and got ejected. Fans were furious throwing things on the field causing a 15 minute delay. The league decided to remove Pallone from the game for his own safety. Rose claimed Pallone poked him but there's no evidence of that. Rose got a 30 day suspension, at the end of the season Pallone was fired. But he later sued, claiming he was fired because of his sexuality and the Pete Rose incident was just an excuse and because of an article claiming he was involved in a sex ring involving underage boys (that was later proven to be false) and he got a big settlement.

You missed one of the longest suspensions from an ejection: Pete Rose vs Dave Pallone. 30 days.

[@marcpower4167]

Pallone got fired by the end of the season too, but he sued claiming it was just an excuse as they really wanted to fire him because of his sexuality. He ended up getting a big settlement for that.

[@Savafan1]

That is the one I was looking for, I was actually at that game.

[@wannabetowasabe]

Not to mention Rose's eventual lifetime ban from baseball. Rose deserved it in my opinion.

[@Paladin70]

Why is it ok for umpires to touch players and push them away but not the other way around? I don’t believe that players SHOULD be allowed to touch umps, but it should work both ways as well.

[@ALDCglden]

That’s what I was thinking as well, umps should get kicked out too🤷‍♀️

[@peach495]

Redicules. I've NEVER seen an ump get into a players face & put his hands on them. You didn't here either. You saw a player getting into an umps face. He has the right to defend his space.

You’re not allowed to put hands on an ump, but they’re allowed to go hands on with a player. It’s a fucking joke.

[@matteozardi6070]

I was about to say the same thing. They give umps the power that the police have. They can do whatever they want and you cant do shit. Pathetic.

[@happysqWid]

Is that honestly your read of that situation? Does Rojas pushing Valentine into the ump twice mean nothing to you? If I was Bobby I woulda suspended Cookie myself for that dumb shit.

[@tw1nn319]

@@robertbruce6865 Dont you think its like that for a reason? like maybe if a player/manager were just running around being an ass like usual, the umps partner needs to come in and restrain him. Its pretty simple why umps are above the rest of the field

[@user-df9rz4fb7x]

The funniest part of all of this is the umpires made the wrong call every time 🤣 all the players initial frustration is justifiable

[@jeffmiesen]

Actually not, the umps got some of them right. The didn’t show the Cookie Rojas replay but it was actually foul and the correct call.

[@dutchvan4503]

The first incident was very close. Close enough where a batter shouldn't let it go. Close enough for the ump to call it a strike. If it was not for the strike zone showing on the screen it would have been a strike all day long. I miss the past baseball games when none of this electronic shit was around, and it was just a game. Players were players. They played for the love of the game. Not like today where they are all millionaires and big crybabies. Sorry coach can't play today I chipped the nail polish on my index finger. Screw baseball. Can't speak Spanish anyway.

[@briantownsend7527]

Exactly

[@peterz22thomas5]

On the last one, the left hand gets to the plate before he tags him.

[@aviationfascination]

Those last two pitches to Brett Lawrie that were called strikes were no where near the zone. Bill Miller was much deserving of the helmet getting bounced off him.

[@HammerJammer81]

he was deserving of it making contact with his face

[@bazzer124]

As a Cubs fan I appreciated Zambrano as a good pitcher and hitter (for a pitcher), but always thought he tended to act like a child in the last few years with the club. His antics eventually got him put on the restricted list and pretty much ended his tenure in Chicago. Cheers....
