This was probably the funniest ejection ever/made me the most pissed off, just because of reynolds reaction. As a lifelong O's fan this mad me mad but reynolds throwing the glove was priceless.

It sucks that he was called safe because that is some great effort for that play.

If you freeze it at 0:43, the ball is in his glove and hit toe is still on the bag. I'm looking right at it. You don't need 20/20 vision to see it.

if you pause right as the ball touches his glove, you can see his foot on the bag

Love how the first thing Reynolds yells is "WHAT THE FUCK."

Tom Davis is such a horrible announcer, Jesus.

Reynolds got the out, the umps were wrong to overturn the call, Reynolds was understandably (and should have been) angry, the ump understandably (and should have) tossed him, and Showalter was understandably angry, and the umps understandably tossed him, too

1:12 WHAT THE.. FUCK?! -Mark Reynolds

The commentators, after being sure he was safe, called the play "not definitive" when the saw the replay and realized he was actually out! LOL

That was a load. His toe was on the bag, ball in the glove. That's an out.

Personally I think his toe was still on the base when the ball was in the glove. The home plate umpire should have had the best view on whether or not the foot was on the bag.

I would have called "safe". he got pulled off the bag. As for the ejection, I quote rule 9.02 (a)"Any umpire’s decision which involves judgment, such as, but not limited to, whether a batted ball is fair or foul, whether a pitch is a strike or a ball, or whether a runner is safe or out, is final. No player, manager, coach or substitute shall object to any such judgment decisions."

if he said a magic word that can get you thrown out

Looked out to me. when the ball is in the glove the the toes are on the base. Kinda the definition of an out.

Love how you can't touch the umps, but the umps were constantly pushing Buck away.

0:43, ball in the glove, feet at the bag...but it was so close, that noone can blame umps...if they insist out, Peralta and Leyland would get ejected :P

This is WHY MLB has instant replay these days.

I hate that announcers always assume immediately the umps are wrong. They have no idea why Reynolds got tossed. He obviously said something while he was slamming his glove down. I'll bet you season tickets that is what go him run.

"...and [Reynolds] didn't say a word" as you se Reynolds shouting on the replay

ok. couple things here. i think it was a close play, and without a replay review the call really could have gone either way. now, for example, if a guy strikes out and spikes his helmet out of frustration, the umpire can issue an equipment violation to get the player fined, but if he spikes his helmet in addition to arguing the play, he can get ejected. now, carrapazza threw him out immediately after he threw the glove, which is debatably wrong on his part, but he was obviously mad they overruled the call, so i think the ejection wasn’t wrong, because reynolds was going to argue it anyway.

He wasn't thrown out simply because of him throwing the glove. Watch the 2nd base umpire. Reynolds throws his glove THEN says something and THAT'S when the ump throws him out. He said something that got him tossed.

If you throw your equipment, you DO get thrown out. Happens all the time.

Great play by first baseman. Umps screwed up multiple times.

Umpires have never been worse in baseball than they are now. And we have instant replay now, for christ sake!

Considering the fact that there are penalties and violations missed on every play in the NFL and NHL, the mistakes and missed calls in Baseball are very minimal.

Jim Palmer just loves the sound of his own voice.

00:43 he's out.

Why didn't they do it during Galarrago's perfect game DX!

He is 100% without a doubt out! If you pause it when the ball is safely in the glove, you will see that his foot is also on the bag. In real time though, it does look like he is safe even if he is not. What i find funny though is that the commentators are absolutely sure that he was safe and it was a bad call. Then, after they see he was out on the replay, they try to cover their mistake by saying it is actually not definitive when it clearly was!

It's because we NOTICE more bad calls, especially with better cameras, and slowing it down. Nobodys perfect.

Pause it at :43 right when he closes his glove, are his toes still on the bag?? Sure looks like it

They can overturn calls if they want...if the 1st base umpire is unsure of the play and wants to ask his fellow umpires for their opinions and it they say the opposite of what he called, than they can overturn it...If the 1st base umpire made that out call and stuck with it and the fellow umpires overturned it against him, than showalter would have a case

Hey Jim Palmer: Ever hear about "unsportsmanlike conduct?"

Reynolds is the first baseman. "Reynolds' toe is on the base and the ball is securely in his glove" = the runner is out. Either you're having trouble reading or just trolling.

Fans always complain that umpires rarely ask for help on a call. The home plate ump has a much better view of whether the 1b was on the bag. It was the wrong call but it was the right idea to ask for help. Without the aid of super slo mo replay it could have gone either way.

Reynolds made this exact same play in 2014 for the brewers. Got the call.

"What the FUCK?!" - Mark Reynolds

He was out

So eleven years later and Buck is managing the Mets in Baltimore for the first time.......I watched it at the slowest speed and honestly its impossible to know whether Reynolds maintained contact until the ball was firmly in his grasp but I seriously doubt that instant replay would have reversed the (original) call on the field.

umpires need to understand emotion. throwing a glove doesn't mean getting tossed. Maybe it's fineable. And, he was out.

He was 100% out lol. Ball in glove and foot still on the bag. Atrocious overrule.

I noticed he said something right after he threw his glove down.

He is out, if you pause the video at 1:55, you can see that he has clear possession well is foot is on the bag.

In case you didn't know, those are the Orioles' announcers (Tom Davis and Jim Palmer), and Palmer is the one who keeps saying Peralta is safe. My biggest problem with it was the home plate umpire overturning it. Whether the original call was right or wrong (in this case it was right), what makes another umpire think he saw it better from 100 feet away? And why do they do this sometimes but never consult when they ARE actually wrong? All the "Crew Chief has the last say" crap gets on my nerves.

As a former first basemen that played on the college level, this would happen to me VERY often. An arrant throw would pull me off the bag, but I would hold my toe on the base just until catching the ball before falling off. The umpires more often would call the runner safe, as if seeing a close play like that automatically means I pulled my foot. I feel for Reynolds, it's one of the bullshit calls in baseball.

honestly it looks like he was on the bag when the catch was made... im not an umpire... but it looks like the ump got it right

Ray Charles could see that he was out his toe was clearly on the bag.

The stupidity of Jim Palmer never ceases to amaze me.

An umpire can definitely throw a player out for throwing their glove. Doesn't happen much, but where in the rulebook does it say a player can't be ejected for throwing equipment?

obviously he was out. he had his whole toe on the bag when the ball was in the glove. these commentators have no sense in how to call a baseball game

Some people need to look a little closer. His toe was on the bag with the ball in the glove. He's out. Pause it at 1:54

got em, great plays

He looked out to me, but hey I'm not an umpire... oh wait I am...

Out!!!

Watching these makes me really angry xP

and 9.01 d) Each umpire has authority to disqualify any player, coach, manager or substitute for objecting to decisions or for unsportsmanlike conduct or language, and to eject such disqualified person from the playing field. If an umpire disqualifies a player while a play is in progress, the disqualification shall not take effect until no further action is possible in that play." Reynolds threw his glove showing his displeasure with the reversal and was seen by the 2nd base umpire. Heave ho!

pause at 1:54 he was clearly out .. the calll should not have been changed

Yeah, but he already caught the ball. If you pause you see the ball in his glove with his toes still touching the bag.

Mark Reynolds throws down his glove Announcer: "Oh, no, Don't get thrown out Mark!" Umpire throws out Reynolds Announcer #2: "Reynolds just got thrown out!" Announcer #1 talking Announcer #2 "Now Buck just got thrown out."

Best part: Mark throwing down his glove

The ball was in his glove before Mark's foot was off the bag. But it doesn't matter. The call was made and you shouldn't be able go back and change it.

Instant replay would help out allot here.

If there was no replay, looks like the first baseman got pulled off the bag trying to do the full splits, so in my opinion, he leaned himself off the bag, so hence the runner is declared safe.

Leland doesnt argue a call very much, so you know its a bad call when he comes out

By not even close, you mean he probably held the bag?

Clearly out, I don’t understand how some people in the comments are even having trouble seeing that

I'm sorry but it looked like he held his toe on the base. 1st base ump was in a terrible position and they reversed it because they assumed reynolds was off. gotta love old buck for sticking up for his guys and ripping them a new one

Pause the video at 0:43. Reynolds' toe is on the base and the ball is securely in his glove. You're wrong.

exactly.. they should use replay on close calls... takes less than a minute to use if they had someone from MLB at each game for that purpose....

How was he out? His foot wasn't even on the base

It wasn't the call that he objected to it was overturning a call that was already made.

The ball wasn't secured though until he was pulled off the bag.

Reynolds is in pinstripes now :(

Also, announce idiot remark by the announcers. HE CAN'T PROTEST BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RULE INTERPRETATION!

yeah he was out but that is a judgment call but he was probably ejected for cursing. I wonder what the coach said to get it overturned.

What the fuck did I just watch? This is hilarious 🤣

I personally think that if you throw your equipment that you should be ejected. We dont allow it in little league through college. Why should we allow it in the majors?

Optimus up here is right...1:54 control of the ball and foot on the bag

I can see why Mark Reynolds got tossed because at 1:11 he says "WTF?!" I know he was already thrown out before he said that, but he deserved to be tossed out after using that kind of language at the umpires.

No he's not. He was called out by the umpire and if the call is corrected he is AWARDED first base.

Looks out ot me

I agree with instant replay in MLB as well, but they could solve the strike and ball calls by having another umpire stand sideways to the catcher

Umpires screw up call, player and manager get tossed. MLB needs to make these umpire accountable. Have a monthly review and pull the crappy ones out of rotation for a while.

Im a Tigers fan but he was out. This EXACT thing happened to me while playing a baseball game, yet they called him safe just because he was paying attention to the runner and not he fact that i tagged the base then got off the bag.

wow that was sweet but Reynolds has attitude.

I was laughing during the rest of the video after Reynolds was ejected.

OMG they finally made a correct call against the Tigers?! This has to be a record for us Tigers fans who have seen sh*t like this go against us 9 times out of 10. Wow! Unreal!

He never said a word to him? You can see him yell "WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!!

Peralta used steroids to get the call overturned, Tony Bosch is a true genius

Still had his foot on the bag.

Runner was out, pause at the catch you see his foot clearly on the bag

Actually its an umpire judgement not what you feel.

CLEARLY he lost contact with the bag.

Pause at 1:54 and Reynolds has his foot on the bag and the ball in the glove.

He was out. Period.

That's why we need camera to replay

what video are you watching? His foot wasn't even on the bag

Umps made a horrible overturn...replay should've been in baseball much sooner

pause at 1:54 OUT

How many times has Buck been tossed in his career
