2016 April May Ejections

[@philwhipple4557]

To date, nobody has ever won an argument with a umpire.

[@andrejbirk8580]

6:18 absolutely is a balk, look at his back foot during his delivery, it comes off the rubber and goes back on, a little hop. Plus, when you speed up your windup like that, it will be called a balk almost 99% of the time.

[@nathanward5939]

Nothing wrong with quick pitching, but I thing he definitely lost contact with the rubber.

[@hermanshire]

Agreed

[@scorpion1429]

100% a balk.

[@jerryking45]

Not a balk. Just a sassy back foot.

[@10-3leader]

A few notes: 1) "He's walking away" is no protection against being thrown out. 2) Distance from the umpire is no protection against being thrown out. 3) Umpires are under no obligation to keep star players in a game. 4) No fan I know of ever came to a ballgame to watch the umpire. 5) If any major league umpire had the stones to call the strike zone as it's actually written in the rule book, half the league would get thrown out of games.

[@OrsilloFanClub]

Jeff Papas I actually want to go to the ballgame to watch the umpires. Especially if it’s the Yankees and the Astros playing.

[@karlricker3291]

Tony Basnor has just ejected Josh Donaldson from the game for arguing the out call.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

The only difference is I wish that, unless something was said walking away, do it to the man's face and be done with it.

[@phssthpok5075]

Announcers seem to be arguing the players and coaches can say whatever they like as long as their back is turned. It's a tactic.

[@HolySoopCoolers]

I think the majority of announcers that argue that are former players lol.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

I was 15 years old when these ejections happened especially of course Joe Girardi being crazy when he gets ejected as a Yankee fan.

[@bdogg20101]

You can't disengage with the rubber. That's a balk.

[@SgtHolton]

"His back's turned!" the Rockies announcers say as you can clearly see the guy turning and shouting back at the umpire about the call.

[@jtoms3]

One thing I've noticed is that announcers seem to think if the player's back is turned he can say any ol' thing he wants without any consequences. Try that at work with your boss.

[@karlricker3291]

Héctor Santiago has just been ejected.

[@daveyhavok1708]

Those calls were so bad. He should be able to say anything he wants to lance

[@cristianrafael4120]

[@tomasneel1980]

i love umps , they are the only part of the game worth watching when asses get tossed, cant wait till they make a rule you get tossed for arguing at all and escorted off the field by cops.

I don’t blame Don Mattingly at all one bit for going off to the races on the issue 🏁) 29:30-31:20 WSH vs. KC 32:11-33:06 WSH vs. CHC 34:50-35:48 BOS vs. NYY 41:37-45:24 DET vs. WSH/PIT vs. CIN/CHC 46:51-47:22 HOU vs. BOS 47:22-59:04 TEX/TB vs. TOR 59:49-1:01:02 BOS vs. KC 1:05:13-1:08:11 TOR vs. MIN

[@NukeLaLoosh]

The greatest thing about baseball is the human element. Check swings, balls and strikes. Outs. That’s all judgement calls. There are zero rules that defines what a swing is. Balls and strikes are basically what level you’re playing at. If you get too tight with kids, it doesn’t fair well. Once you get into the pros you are allowed to squeeze to the exact strike zone we all know. Im learning that now with legion and teens. You have to throw a bone here and there. Or else you’ll be there forever

[@larsonmarkov1699]

14:26 someone yells out go back to la mattingly

[@kylepeikert8508]

Players are doing very well in baseball proving really well. They still need things to learn, but they’re still good.

[@frederickglass1583]

MLB should institute a rule that if an Ump is found on film to essentially "bait" a player into an ejection, that ump faces a 30 game suspension with no pay, and must apply for reinstatement to umpire with the MLB upon completion of the suspension. Said ump will then be allowed to umpire again, but more or less under a "parole period" where if they are caught baiting another player/manager, they are stripped of their duties in the MLB and reassigned to the MiLB for the next 2 years as punishment

[@crosslinezero3572]

Shut up.

[@Downsouthroots]

😂😂😂

[@sammenegat]

22:22 Phelps’s ejection is exactly how I got thrown out of a game my senior year of high school. He breaks zero rules and asks a reasonable question. Not arguing about balls and strikes, he was asking if it missed in and by how much. Pitchers should absolutely be within their rights to do so without getting canned for it. That’s such horseshit.

[@tomfoley6718]

I think it’s a crock that you can’t argue balls and strikes I mean if it’s a bad call strike or ball and it’s so obvious well the inevitable gonna happen

[@davidharmon4820]

As a catcher I have respect for you and Phelps on that but ya you're right that call was really bullshit and coming from a fan of the Dodgers I understand you're view on that

[@michaelfalkner1186]

That's another "blame the culture" thing -- umpires basically take even any question of ball or strike as a technical argument, and it can be an ejection at any time.

[@IKnowImAnAsshole]

If you want to ask about location, you can bet your ass that if you march down from the mound to home plate to do it you'll be leaving before you get there. Zero problem answering if a pitcher asks me, 100% problem when you feel the need to march down to do it.

[@sammenegat]

@@IKnowImAnAsshole I get what you’re saying, but I just don’t think it was a march. The way he came down was so passive. Pair that with the fact that the way he asked where the pitch was wasn’t breaking any rules in the MLB rule book, I just don’t think the umpire needs to have that quick of a trigger. It’s a big spot in the game and I don’t think what Phelps did warranted getting tossed that quickly, let alone at all. If he thought it was a strike, he can ask without arguing. That’s totally fair. If he kept going, then he’s crossing a line.

[@ilovewendysbaconator5089]

CB bucknor and Chris guiccone are my two favs

[@RudyBarajas-n4p]

Thank you

[@STI2000]

What really makes me feel old is, I remember when Mattingly came up as a rookie player.

[@tomasneel1980]

Mattingly makes the game stink

[@deandrebullock3882]

[@mikegallegos7]

Am often amazed at how much the commentators know about subjective opinions and do not know about MLB Rules. LOL

[@JustCallMeKen]

And they always say "he got his money's worth" ... how unoriginal, tired, and old.

[@karlricker3291]

GOOD FOR ANDY GREEN! GET YOUR MONEY’S WORTH!

[@GregoryWeagle]

Especially the high strike, low strike bull. It's basically the announcers not admitting that the pitcher is smart and basically peppering within the strike zone box, so they blame the umpire for calling it properly.

[@eliwhaley4804]

"am"?

[@eyesacthehoodrat]

If you were the batter or pitcher in any of these situations, you wouldn’t argue or at least question why the call was made?

[@justina9137]

It's funny players and managers chew and bitch hard at the ump. Then after you're outta here they're like what did I do? Lol

[@michaellawson8862]

Very nice!!!

[@allaneisner4729]

The announcer at the 23:20 mark hit the nail on the head. A manager or pitcher should be able to ask what was wrong with a pitch without being tossed from the game. If they keep arguing after that you can toss them. Umpires seem to feel they are why fans pay to watch games. They are very, very wrong! Just like some of their calls!

Yea his back is turned so his mouth is clearly not functioning nor are the ump's ears. Right? You got it all figured out! Don't ya?

[@flanknstank1852]

This always makes me laugh. Ump: Strike! Player: (turns and walks away) Player: (says over shoulder to ump) Your mom takes fat donkey dong in her left nostril every Tuesday you fat pig and when I leave the park I’m gonna go choke out your cat. Ump: Your gone!! Announcers: HE HAD HIS BACK TO HIM....

[@allaneisner4729]

When a pitch goes through the batter’s box opposite the batter and the umpire calls that a strike, that umpire should not be working games at the major league level! That was one of the very worst calls I have ever witnessed!

[@clurnmonster7505]

Little known fact: A nuclear power plant in Ohio recently ran out of radioactive fuel, and used one of Las Diaz's jock straps instead. It was able to supply power to the entire city of Sandusky for seven months.

[@tomasneel1980]

It’s like Phelps crying, ‘’ was that inside? I’m only asking .’’ If I was the ump, I would said no, it rolled across the plate. Why not not ask your catcher. He asked you to send it.

[@CornPop471]

It would be interesting to see if the number of ejections has increased over the years. Seems like it has

[@charliebowen5071]

Only sport I’ve ever seen that the game rides on the umpires

[@coreyconner9689]

I agree. If a manager is talking to an umpire, why does an umpire who has nothing to do with the play get involved? 23:12

[@steve3368]

These videos are awesome!! Some of these umpires are wimps lol

[@DaMurphyBeat]

I used to be dead set against the robot umpires. But many of these umpires are so bad, and there's nothing you can do because their word is FINAL and the law. There's no arguing, even if the ump is so blatantly wrong that a blind person could see it. And some umpires even believe that they are celebrities, and fans look forward to seeing them call a game. It's ridiculous. Replace them all. Let them call foul balls only. And maybe home runs. Maybe. Let's see how they do on the foul balls.

[@mariaviklund4546]

If they played as much baseball as they were chewing on stuff there would be a barage of baseballs flying all over the place.
