MLB Umpires Making Things Worse

This is the biggest reason I don’t watch MLB any longer. The umpires have ruined the game and they have no consequences for their actions. They evidently rely on the umpire union that the MLB is scared of. They can’t even get rid of “Angel Doofus “ who is clearly a detriment to baseball. When you can’t enjoy a fair unbiased game why waste your time?

Now you see why fans are turned off from watching the games. MLB needs to remind the umpires' union that if attendance goes down, the money will stop, and just like any other business, employees can get fired for messing with the product.

Somewhere along the way, umpires got the idea that the fans are there to see them, and not the players.

Right off the bat you see Yankee Chase Headley crying about a pitch that was definitely a strike. The Yankees get so many favorable ball-strike calls that even Headley believes he should get calls. WOW!

[@kenbobcorn]

Thing is, an umpire has never become a good umpire by complaining about a call. Arguing a call and getting yourself thrown out just makes your team worse off.

[@ArghIsThisHandleTaken]

One thing I’ve noticed in all these videos is it’s always the same umps.

if i was an umpire i would wear ear plugs and never through a player out . they work hard at what they do and emotion is part of the game so dont take that away

that second bs should be appealable. if it's quesgtionable ejection or it's even borderline. quit while you're ahead. if i was the players i'd insist on that in the next negotiation because this bullshit is getting out of hand. has been for years. and don't tell me umps don't recall arguements and such and first time they ge t a chance yep you're gone. then throwing out the manager who knew it was a bullshit move just emphasizes "yes it's bullshit, yes i don't care, and i'll just keep throwing people out." that's what's got to stop more than anything. if you make a bad ejection you shouldn't be allowed to keep ejecting just because you have to prove your point. this is the BULL SHIT that makespeople wonder if umps get paid bonuses based on ejections, warnings, arguements, etc. if not how the fuck do you explain hernandez still having a job and mlb looking the other way for so many years?

[@rickrose5377]

Who was the A's color guy? The umpire DIDN'T miss the call. Kazmir missed low -- that was ball four. Announcer was a homer.

Does it matter? Or does it matter the ump being over dramatic and tossing the pitcher out for being frustrated?

[@DaveRicker]

It's obvious that the commissioner is not going to do anything or fire these ridiculous umps, so maybe the players should start taking care of them , maybe tell the catcher do try to catch this 100 mph fastball and let it hit the ump in the mask or have a player just beat the piss out of the ump. That's the whole problem, the umps know nothing's going to happen to them. They are not held accountable, maybe have a salary to start every week, and for every bad all or other act the umps do deduct money from the salary, maybe the first bad call take 50 dollars, then 100 then 200 and so on. Buy the end of the week they maybe only get paid 10 bucks. Then you will start seeing them take it serious and a lot less bad calls.

A single official shouldn't be able to run a player or manager. There should be a discussion among the crew. So many times you see an ump just lose his cool during an exchange and he tosses someone in the heat of the moment. Also, 10% of umpires should be able to be demoted to the minors every season by a vote of the players' union.

Explain to me again why umpires have to remain cool and calm while being constantly berated for doing their job. Imagine if an umpire gave players shit every time they made an error. I’d find it funny as hell. Umpires take so much shit, especially with that box on tv/replay. It’s not even the actual strike zone. Personally I think umpires at this level should throw players/coaches out immediately for any shit they give an ump. They’d stop pretty quickly.

[@Polficer]

I was looking for this comment. I totally agree. Somehow, MLB players and coaches are allowed to act like they aren't responsible for their own actions, throwing anger tantrums, rushing the umpires, yelling in faces like that is part of the game, but if an umpire takes the slightest offense to those personal attacks, the umpire is wrong. I don't agree at all. Both sides need to act like professionals and adults. What other workplace allows this kind of conduct? A lot of professional sports have normalized this sort of 'acceptable rage' that I think is insane.
