MLB Umpires Getting Suspended Compilation

[@noteworthyinsignificance]

That's not true. Just ask the umpires!

[@noteworthyinsignificance]

​@@Junior-ck3jq This is a horrible straw man. I haven't seen anyone say they can do it better. They just want the people who are paid to do this at the highest level to do it better.

[@gedalyahreback2133]

Jim Joyce was not banned from Galarraga games for the blown call. He isn't allowed to participate in those games because Joyce and Galarraga co-authored a book on sportsmanship after the blown call and are now considered business partners.

[@metropod]

If they still refuse to overturn Joyce’s call retroactively… at least retcon it as an error and give the poor man a no-hitter…

[@thebearline]

As a Tigers fan, I prefer the blown call. How many pitchers have thrown perfect games and don't get remembered? He will always be known as the guy who got screwed

[@goodfella685]

Also what's it matter now, it's not about the actual no hitter when your talking about it years later, it's the feeling and celebration he would of had with his team, they all got robbed not only him.

[@DrVarner]

At risk of my own life, it looked very close. Doesn’t the tie go to the runner.

[@thebearline]

@@DrVarner usually, yes. But in this case the throw beats the runner by 2 steps. If his foot was over the bag about to step on it, that would make more sense for the "tie" if that makes any sense lol

[@DrVarner]

@@thebearline Thanks for that reply. I rewatched it at .25 speed. Pitcher was on the bag with the ball two steps ahead of the runner. Just like you said.

[@droogie76]

Oh the Jim Joyce one was so egregious. One of the biggest blown calls of all time.

[@Norcat10]

At least he owned it.

[@joeg5414]

it's ridiculous that the MLB didn't come in and change it.

[@gregwagner9759]

Jim Joyce did him the greatest favor. If he calls that right, it’s a perfect game nobody ever remembers. Now we all talk about it and know it was a perfect game, regardless of the record book

[@j.thomas7128]

​@@gregwagner9759oh bullsnot. You couldn't name the pitchers name before watching this video. Bad logic.

[@pronkb000]

@@joeg5414 Should they retroactively declare Jorge Orta out in Game 6 of the '85 World Series, too? Or declare that Derek Jeter was out on fan interference in Game 1 of the '96 ALCS? It was a bad call but I don't like the idea of changing something that happened after the fact. (And no, this is not remotely comparable to changing a hit to an error or vice versa--that's bookkeeping. It's not taking something that happened and declaring that something different happened--the end result is always the same, that the batter reached base.)

[@Cardinals97]

It wasn’t actually the call that got Jim Joyce banned from calling Armando Galleragha games it was the fact that after the infamous call the two of them co wrote a book about the incident and MLB didn’t want the risk of Bias accusations against him

[@studogable]

Thank you for pointing that out. Joyce and Galleraga have both been utter gentlemen about the situation. It's one of my favorite stories about character and humility.

[@SportDawgs]

Jim Joyce was a good umpire outside of that bad call. Which he owned it. If we had reviews back then it would of been a perfect game

[@emupike6]

@@SportDawgs yup, and the difference about him and bad umpires is he actually felt bad, guy broke down after when he was being interviewed. loved how Galleragha handled it too even though he lost the immortality of a perfect game

[@mason.11]

The really sad part is that out of the thousands of cases in which umpires deserve discipline, these are the only cases of it actually happening. Furthermore, I don’t even think Joe West (Beltre) or Jim Joyce deserved the discipline for the things here. MLB’s priorities are just beyond fucked up. Especially considering that the Mike Winters case pretty much happens every other week nowadays.

[@roberthudson1959]

West deserved to be disciplined for making a personal attack on a player. MLB didn't suspend Joyce, they just chose to be careful about his schedule, and it wasn't the first time something like that happened. Whether or not it became public, Ron Luciano was supposedly not scheduled to work Baltimore games because of his poor relationship with Earl Weaver.

[@roguishpaladin]

@@roberthudson1959 Except that I'm not getting "personal attack" vibes from his comment about Beltre or Beltre's response to it. Beltre's a bit of a goof, and it feels like West might have been making a joke with a seed of truth rather than grinding an axe.

[@roberthudson1959]

@@roguishpaladin The comment, stripped of its context, has lived beyond the retirement of both men. Beltre may have responded graciously, but the jest should not have been made.

He should’ve gotten permanent suspension or no pay for the rest of his career !

[@kevinstull8552]

Where's the clip of the umpire who kept staring at Bumgarner instead of checking his hands for sticky substances?

[@Goose_0709]

Dan Bellino wasn’t suspended for that, but he should have been.

[@justina9137]

Joe West did the staredown

[@youtubecommentsectiondebates]

Was waiting to see Angel Hernandez on one of these, but I guess he doesn't face consequences for his horrible calls

[@kevinmoore2929]

He didn't get to work playoff games for a few years. With his current lawsuit, I don't think MLB can keep him from working them. At the very least, they can only get away with him working non-high profile series.

[@OntarioRob]

There's a few umpires that seem almost jealous of the fame that MLB players get. Joe West wanted a piece of that & Angel Hernandez definitely wants fame & glory he thinks he's deserving of. Instead of trying to be the center of attention by one upping the players, maybe he should focus on being the most accurate & fair umpire instead. If he wasn't protected by his union, he would never be able to continue doing the worst possible job any umpire in the history of MLB baseball has ever done. He's not just missing a few calls to be noticed. He's making the wrong call on a huge percentage of pitches

[@LemonStir]

And your take is worse than any Angel Hernandez blown call ever LOL!!

[@OntarioRob]

@LemonStir OH good, my own personal troll. I've never had a troll before. Tell me, what's it like not knowing anything & just making comments that make you look like a tool ? Let's see if you can answer my question with some intelligence instead of falling back on stupidity

[@patcrowe9780]

Mike Winters should have been suspended for the rest of the season for baiting. It needs to be done more

[@ckuty1]

Minor note: The Jim Joyce/Galarraga ban was due to them publishing a book together about the experience, which made them business partners, so MLB wanted to avoid the appearance of impropriety and disallowed Joyce to work his games after that. If umpires were banned from working games of players they missed calls for simply because they missed big calls we couldn't have umpires for any games because they all miss calls all the time.

[@PeteTheRock2002]

The Culbreath one was really mindboggling. How do you allow two pitching substitutions to happen before there was a pitch?

[@MXSHYYYY]

Exactly. You face one batter and then you can go. I don’t know how the whole crew didn’t think for a second and say, “He has to face one batter doesn’t he?”

[@cbsparr]

That Galarraga one hurt my damn feelings, not even a Tigers fan. I remember that one clear as day.

[@aintlyon304]

I remember this game and I think Jim Joyce has since admitted his mistake. Armando Galarraga pitched a perfect game in my book, but what I remember most is that he handled the entire situation with grace. He's a class act.

[@jerryking45]

[@lafelkins]

[@nickgroll7292]

Jim Joyce was only prohibited from umpiring a game with Galarraga to prevent the appearance of impropriety, since the two of them had a business interest with their book

[@pricetatum282]

The fact this video is only five minutes proves just how good of a union the umpires unfortunately have.

[@MXSHYYYY]

But it does show that eventually you do you get punished.

[@pricetatum282]

[@danny6032]

Angel Hernandez’s three overturned calls in a playoff game cost him the World Series that season, so he was unofficially “suspended” for the rest of the postseason.

[@johnrion3232]
