As someone who only watches baseball and hasn't played, I appreciate your breakdowns of the weekly drama/scenarios that go on in baseball. You have valuable insight as a former player as to how dynamics play out on the field, and I really like learning by watching your videos! Would love a "weekly baseball drama" of the fights/confrontations/etc situations like this, since you as a former player understand how these social scenarios play out. Thanks for the video!

Every MLB player on the field earned his place there through intense competition. Umps compete too, but against a much smaller pool and with a lot of politicking involved - and once you are in you are about as secure in your job as a Supreme Court Justice. I love the robotic future that takes as many of these guys out of the game.

That Tommy Pham slide was Bush League. The catcher was standing exactly where he was supposed to stand and Tommy ran right at the catcher instead of running where he was supposed to in order to get to the bag because of the new rules that prevent the catcher from blocking the plate. The new rules are specifically for catcher safety so for him to run right at the catcher and slide directly into him even if it wasn't a takeout slide is Bush League
@andrewbloom76942 ай бұрын
It was a perfunctory effort at most, a guy Phams size running at full speed would he destroyed the catcher. The catcher takes like half a step back and doesn't even lose his balance or anything
@chargerman4262 ай бұрын
Pham went out of the baseline just to slide into the catcher. ALSO if he focused on baseball vs fighting maybe he would actually be on a productive team vs hanging on on a last place team.

Umpires should have some kind of Promotion/Relegation system. Let's pick a number, say 20% (probably too high, but this is just for illustrative purposes). At the end of a season, the 20% that score lowest on umpire metrics, as determined by the umpires association, get sent down to AAA, and a like number of the best AAA umps get called up. It would heavily incentivise umps to do better, BE better. And seniority be damned. (Also, AAA umps should be paid more. It is borderline criminal.)
@MilkBoy175202 ай бұрын
The "Huh? Stop." situation is the exact same thing cops do (which makes sense because most umps seem to have the smol pp energy and think they're god of the universe just because they have a particular low education, low ability job.) screaming contradicting commands and then ejecting them or blasting them.
@christophercampbell29292 ай бұрын
Tracking a ball has to be difficult. That umps call average is surely better than his batting average. So he chirped back. Umps like, "I see what you swing at, don't tell me what a strike is"
