Ump behind the plate was complete dog shit the whole series calling strikes consistently way outside and below the knees, Joey had every reason to be pissed off.

[@dustinhorsman2385]

+Donny Detroit Man wonder how the kids reacted with Earl Weaver and other people in the game back when you could actually argue with umpires for more than five seconds.

[@matt2675]

+Donny Detroit haha if you really think like that then you have never played baseball. and if players like him should get suspended then we might as well suspend half the mlb rosters cause every player gets like that when they are pushed and being punished for no reason

Well since he's consistently calling strikes way outside then they should get used to his strike zone and swing at those pitches

He got a 4 game suspension and Dotel a 12 game suspension. Palmerio, and Jason Lane were also ejected later on. Kerry Wood, Hollandsworth, Zambrano, Hawkins, Walker, and Baker were also thrown out of teh game. Big Z, Walker and Hollandsworth were all suspended along with Baker.

[@jackjon7763]

iGrowBeard umpires are sent down to AAA or lower based on performance. If the umpire was not then The higher ups at MLB don't have a problem with how the umpire responded to this situation.
