[@danielmaske9946]

Rizzo 100% leaned into that pitch. It may have hit him anyway if he had just stood there, but he definitely made it obvious.

[@willclough7304]

The “why is he safe?” Call will resonate forever

[@drewhayes2192]

As a Rizzo fan and certified ump hater, the Rizzo and Diaz calls were the right calls.

[@Dexi3]

I love when even the announcers say how bad of a call it was

[@jamesoliver6625]

Liván Hernández and Eric Gregg, a black eye on baseball.

[@distracted_visions7095]

The game has become more about the umpires than the players.

[@firstgenchevelleman]

That black home plate umpire calling the outside strikes is embarrassing

[@bobdole4916]

The Yankee absolutely moved into the path of that pitch.

[@glennriviere7807]

I'm 77 and I grew up on baseball. I have never seen so many missed calls. Like today umpire missed. Even our little league umpires were better than the MLB Umpire of today's

[@dannyk1351]

Honestly, the fact they have that balls and strikes box for every pitch on TV may be a factor in our perception that that umpiring is especially/uniquely bad now(and of course watching 5 entertaining baseball KZbin channels talking about the bad calls plays in lot that perception too;)). Again, The strike Zone on TV, Replay on everything, etc it just amplifies so many missed calls. I totally agree umpiring is so bad right now. I guess what I’m Saying is maybe when we watched baseball pre 2015(or whenever they started putting up the strike zone on Tv and then of course replay the last few years) we didn’t realize how bad the umpires were in the past. I bet it was wayyyy worse! Just imagine this……You Put the ball/strike, smart computer, TV zone/analytics/replay etc that we see on every MLB televised game now on , for example, hmmmm, let’s say a random Tom Glavine start in…1996. Okay, can you imagine how many balls 1-2 inches off the plate he got called strikes by the ump that weren’t? I don’t know the answer, but I bet it’s a lot… Or, another thought, it’s just a Random Sunday 1pm game game in mid July umped in 1994 by a Joe West/Eric Gregg looking/type umpire and they are behind the plate in Kansas City where it’s 100+ and humid. Or, maybe something like the old Veterans stadium(RIP the Vet)in Philly when on the turf, in the hottest days of summer, would be a 120 degrees on the field. Ok, imagine if we scrutinized them and their performance on these days standards, my money would say they would be so bad you’d be shocked. I used unique examples here, but you get what I’m saying. But who knows, it’s just a hunch and a thought. I’m Rambling, but maybe it’s not as bad as we think :)

[@laverdadesmejor]

One day soon it will all be cameras and robots and the umpires will be a thing of the past.

[@chrisatkins7959]

I may start watching again if that happens. I quit when they did not reverse the horrible call at first base during game 6 of the Cardinals/Royals World Series.

[@pastagg]

If they keep screwing up then yes it will come to that and they will have only themselves to blame.

[@MrSeanVideos]

Rizzo leaned into that pitch. That was a good call.

[@OhioPrime29]

No he thought it was a different pitch and thought it was going behind him.

[@JV-mw7gv]

No. It was a breaking ball. A recent previous fastball went behind him not long before.

[@kryssantora4150]

I swear sometimes umpires be drinking before games 😅

[@crashnbl1]

I am really surprised none of these guys have caught one of the refs after the game and gave them an attitude adjustment

[@e4jasperi]

Or the fans

[@bobdole4916]

I'm not - that'd be a lifetime ban and jail time over a missed call. The millions they get paid can soothe a lot of frustration.

[@LedLawless]

The Yankee hit by a pitch, I'd have called the same thing. He leaned his leg forward in a way that didn't look like part of a swing.

[@lesliehouck7404]

This should be renamed angel Hernandez highlights

[@NewApologist]

Umpires are such winers, throw players out for almost nothing. I don’t want to see AI but the umps need to be double checked more often.

[@ikonix360]

Wonder how many of these calls were the umpires helping the other team?

[@user-mg9nz1kt6d]

This is crazy and getting ridiculous! These umpires are absolutely nuts! Now the umpires are widening the strike zone?! If that’s the case then maybe the mlb should do it or have a huge talk with all the umpires about it!

[@Kahuna54]

The more they use the box to show bad calls they will eventually use it to make calls.

[@paulbrickler]

I did a little bit of little league umpiring when I was in high school. Those low balls over the plate that may or may not be knee-high are very difficult to judge. You just can't get a great angle on them.

[@JvmesFilms]

Those cubs jerseys are fire

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Time to get rid of umps calling balls and strikes. The tech is already there, let it be in charge.

[@ghostly1750]

9:49 the thing is that was the last out needed for a PERFECT GAME and the ump was just praying on the pitcher’s downfall I guess.

[@gianishino3183]

Not gonna lie, the umps overall do a much better job than I would. That being said, they should use automatic balls and strikes using the tech we have.

[@LJA46]

Why should players and managers get ejected for the umpire's inability to call balls and strikes?

[@678rwhp]

Because we're adults and you don't just get to talk to people any way you want without repercussions.

[@brianhaught7929]

The Giants vs Dodgers 2021 NLDS was horrible way to end a great series between the 2 best teams in baseball that year

[@tylerrosa1201]

the diaz call was definitely right

[@shoxxyryry]

Amusing to think that maybe some of these umpires watch these videos and realize how bad their calls were

[@billionaremindset6468]

Angel hernandez??

[@terrenceappleby9315]

Blind justice. Blind umpires.

[@Goadededits]

This is just crazy how many umps are bad

[@ryanmauldin3742]

some of these umps need to get put in their place. their egos are to much.

[@stubbyassassin]

They will still have umps for check swings and plays at the plate, they will wear an earpiece that gets the balls and strikes call in real time. ⚾️⚾️⚾️ #NoMoreAngelHernandez

[@DoubleF3lix]

Good news: he's retiring

[@IrrationalBstrd]

So far.. imo, . 1:04 looks like a good strike, right across the numbers. 1:22 good strike, right over the plate above the knees...

[@Bryanpeacock33]

If players can be suspended why can't umpires?

[@Techprep23]

One word...union

[@Cohdiboi]

Umpires can be suspended

[@HighlightZoneSports]

they can and have been suspended

[@Bigdaddy5435]

All MLB umpires are crooked and make bets on the games they call, I know a bookie who took big bets from umpires for years if he wrote a book MLB would be shocked.

[@markseabolt5959]

Sure you do. I know an umpire who is a bookie and a District Attorney. He could write a book and then prosecute himself.

[@hawkeye0378]

That Yanier Díaz call was correct

[@nsArmoredFrog]

The entire reason why umpires keep doing this is because they have no accountability. The umpire tosses someone out on a missed call should be a three-game suspension of the umpire upon review. Your strike zone call ability should be similar: Have a lower grade of calls over a game and you’re sent back to umpire school or docked your pay and not allowed to work important games in the postseason. Baseball is between two baseball teams, not two teams with a wildly variable umpire who has no accountability.

[@chrisatkins7959]

Angel would finally be out for good.

[@Blackout5871]

How are these umpires NOT penalized somehow?

[@dannenp3110]

Idk a lot of these were close and sometimes correct calls. Yeah there are plenty of terrible ones but not all of these are bad calls.

[@35ABSTRACT]

Solution: shorten games to 8 innings and anything questionable is reviewable.

[@HolySilverStrike]

My word…I hope in the future the umpires get way more restricted and it will start with that new thing the minor league is testing.

[@gregsoto4777]

The umps should be fired immediately after the game is reviewed. The calls were so blatant that is questions of money is being exchanged. Also catchers should be thrown out of the game if the frame the pitch or interfere or attempt to interfere with the batter.

[@veronicafinocchi9550]

Some of the clips are old and well known, but behind the plate hasn't improved since. Too much reliance on framing is making the calls ridiculous. Hell most umps are leaning on the catcher, but still manage to miss if the ball crosses the plate, if at all or the depth to the pitch. Too early for using tech, but maybe new blood in training younger umpires.

[@cjw00413]

Why do they let them have sooo much control of the outcome of the game?

[@pinkpuppypaws7749]

The play at 4:00 isnt home plate umpires fault but third base umpires

[@azkabar1349]

At what point can you throw the umpire out

[@higejii3928]

裏で動いているいるとしか思えないジャッジばかりですな。

[@kingkong7617]

These umpires need glasses or retirement!

[@r.kellycoker1981]

So , what happens to these umpires?

[@get2choppa429]

I like they have the power to make terrible strike out calls and then throw people out of the game for not liking their wrong calls

[@user-kk2zc9ly8v]

The umps are getting worse and worse

[@dougkennedy4906]

A clip reel showing how games are rigged.

[@philbrown9764]

UNPLEASANT? Try BIZARRO umpiring, where strikes are balls and vise versa. Why doesn’t baseball just call it a strike, when the batter swings at the ball but doesn’t hit it?

[@jammonjohn5398]

Umpires ruined baseball for me. Can't watch games won and lost by dudes who suck at their jobs.

[@tater_tot_yt]

2:52 Thats fuckin bullshit. x2

[@RichardDelplanche]

I hate baseball as the umpires have ruined the game . They have heads so big they have to turn sideways to go thru doorways. So sad.

[@stellingbanjodude]

Umpires are totally unnecessary

[@waylashgaming318]

Every sport I've seen, baseball takes the cake of referees with HUGE ego trips and no repricssuions. Oh you hurt my feelings, Get Outta Herrrreee. Who cares about the fans that spent hard earned money to watch the players play the game.

[@laurieharper1526]

Too much testosterone on display from both umpires and players. Given that TV can identify whether or not a ball is in the strike zone, why a message not sent to the umpire's ear-piece stating strike or ball? It would save all these theatrics.

[@storydavid8]

The sooner as ai replaces umpires the better

[@forgiatocapone7279]

Don't say that than they go be taking ppl jobs

[@DanTheMan6932]

Not really. What if it glitches out or over heats.

[@Calibrex_Gaming]

Always need an umpire on the bases and plates to make the calls regardless of AI support.

[@TheSimCaptain]

Umpires do more than call strikes. I don't see why they can't be connected to a device that detects a strike or a ball.

[@ronnieholland7725]

Sadly it won't happen

[@ivonebenicagirardi5738]

Fuck

[@aaronsondag8347]

Umps becoming more famous than the players

[@akiblue]

So the lesson learned today is that the worst Umps get sent to Padres and Blue Jays games.

[@Coloradohomestead22]

Umpires are part of the game, and always should be. I dislike that calls can be challenged. Bad calls, good calls, it’s part of the game.

[@jameskostyla4924]

Umpires in MLB need to get their act together. It's getting worse not better.

[@Drkaspertroy]

So 10 minutes of bad calls across multiple years means umpires are terrible? They're human and get things wrong just like we do.

[@TheKPM]

Hot take... umpires have never been better. Meet me in the replies.

[@Cohdiboi]

Don’t mistake “better” for “good enough”

[@TheKPM]

@@Cohdiboi Believe me… I’m not. But you can never fully replace human umpires in a game that’s fundamentally human.

[@DocHolliday25000]

MLB has literally lacking talent everywhere, The umps are embarrassing, Angel Hernandez is a terrible ump that's not even fit enough to be on a Little League level... This is what happens when you have a Union, Nothing but crybabies. and terrible talent...

[@garystanley6097]

I’ve seen a lot of these videos now and I now think that all MLB umpires are either snowflakes or Karen’s. Any time they are questioned it’s: “You’re out.”

[@larrysylvester4438]

Umps are paid to throw games

[@lynnmclarty8847]

And they wonder why I refuse to watch MLB. Goons behind the plate have trashed the game for generations.
