The umpires need to remember that we aren't there to watch them.

I can agree somewhat with this. But I don’t think he hit the batter. He got one like 8 inches behind him and the second was like 6 inches off his body, but the jersey hangs off pretty far which makes it look like a HBP. “If I were the ump” (famous last words before I get assaulted lmao), unless there were warnings before the game to both teams which means instant ejections, I would’ve given a warning and asked his catcher to talk to him.

That and there had been previous bad blood between the teams, that puts extra weight on anything in the game.

AJ Burnnet: “That was a strike” The umpire:👋

[@TheDMB411987]

Playing JV in 9th grade I remember the ump called infield fly rule in effect. For those who don’t know it means the batter is automatically out if he hits a popfly that stays in the end field when runners are on base. This prevents the fielder from intentionally letting it drop to get a double or triple play. It basically removes the force out. Anyways, the batter hits a pop up a mile in the air that our second baseman loses in the sun and drops between him and the pitcher mound and no out was called and now bases are loaded. Our coach comes out to ask what the hell and the field umpire knowing he’s wrong for flaking still sticks to his guns and says “well it wasn’t high enough”. A huge argument and ejection ensued. Case in point, if a local small time ump getting paid 50 dollars to officiate a game isn’t gonna admit he’s wrong, these “professional” ego-driven assholes certainty aren’t

2:00 I don’t really agree with this being an ump overreacting. He threw 2 pitches, one of them behind him and then the 2nd hit him. If his control was legitimately that bad then how did he get clearance to pitch? I didn’t see the ump get overly aggressive or anything like in the rest of the clips.
