6:18 absolutely is a balk, look at his back foot during his delivery, it comes off the rubber and goes back on, a little hop. Plus, when you speed up your windup like that, it will be called a balk almost 99% of the time.

I was 15 years old when these ejections happened especially of course Joe Girardi being crazy when he gets ejected as a Yankee fan.

What really makes me feel old is, I remember when Mattingly came up as a rookie player.

"His back's turned!" the Rockies announcers say as you can clearly see the guy turning and shouting back at the umpire about the call.

You can't disengage with the rubber. That's a balk.

You’re back to upload a new video.

To date, nobody has ever won an argument with a umpire.

14:26 someone yells out go back to la mattingly

Announcers seem to be arguing the players and coaches can say whatever they like as long as their back is turned. It's a tactic.

22:22 Phelps’s ejection is exactly how I got thrown out of a game my senior year of high school. He breaks zero rules and asks a reasonable question. Not arguing about balls and strikes, he was asking if it missed in and by how much. Pitchers should absolutely be within their rights to do so without getting canned for it. That’s such horseshit.

Players are doing very well in baseball proving really well. They still need things to learn, but they’re still good.

5:46-12:02 PIT vs. SD/the top of the 3rd inning of the game was certainly one of the weirdest moments in the 2016 MLB season 22:20-25:00 MIA vs. LAD/that was a joke for home plate umpire Todd Tichenor to throw David Phelps out of the game for just asking (not arguing) about the strike zone after he threw the 3-2 pitch to Joc Pederson in the bottom of the 8th inning. I don’t blame Don Mattingly at all one bit for going off to the races on the issue 🏁 34:50-35:48 BOS vs. NYY 46:51-47:22 HOU vs. BOS 47:23-59:04 TEX/TB vs. TOR 59:49-1:01:02 BOS vs. KC 1:05:13-1:08:11 TOR vs. MIN

The greatest thing about baseball is the human element. Check swings, balls and strikes. Outs. That’s all judgement calls. There are zero rules that defines what a swing is. Balls and strikes are basically what level you’re playing at. If you get too tight with kids, it doesn’t fair well. Once you get into the pros you are allowed to squeeze to the exact strike zone we all know. Im learning that now with legion and teens. You have to throw a bone here and there. Or else you’ll be there forever

Hurdle loves to chewing gums!

Very nice!!!

How many ejections in that rangers game

Thank you

CB bucknor and Chris guiccone are my two favs

A few notes: 1) "He's walking away" is no protection against being thrown out. 2) Distance from the umpire is no protection against being thrown out. 3) Umpires are under no obligation to keep star players in a game. 4) No fan I know of ever came to a ballgame to watch the umpire. 5) If any major league umpire had the stones to call the strike zone as it's actually written in the rule book, half the league would get thrown out of games.

It's funny players and managers chew and bitch hard at the ump. Then after you're outta here they're like what did I do? Lol

I need to get May 2009 please

1:08:35 Am I seeing things, or is a fan also in the process of getting kicked out of the ballpark by a Pirates' staff person?? I wonder what was said to warrant that. 🤔😂🤷‍♂️

11:20 Ever since Mark McGwire came off steroids, he can only play peace maker in all fights and arguments.

I saw the John mcsherry collapse god rest his soul he was a good umpire. Well at least he knew something was wrong

You can't argue balls and strikes

10:55 andy green get money worth good

I like that game where the head ump threw out two other umps, then pulled a gun! That was cool!

Good

These videos are awesome!! Some of these umpires are wimps lol

i love umps , they are the only part of the game worth watching when asses get tossed, cant wait till they make a rule you get tossed for arguing at all and escorted off the field by cops.

Am often amazed at how much the commentators know about subjective opinions and do not know about MLB Rules. LOL

👍

Only sport I’ve ever seen that the game rides on the umpires

MLB should institute a rule that if an Ump is found on film to essentially "bait" a player into an ejection, that ump faces a 30 game suspension with no pay, and must apply for reinstatement to umpire with the MLB upon completion of the suspension. Said ump will then be allowed to umpire again, but more or less under a "parole period" where if they are caught baiting another player/manager, they are stripped of their duties in the MLB and reassigned to the MiLB for the next 2 years as punishment

Good call

2016年4月5月驱逐事件-2016 April May Ejections，哥们儿，请允许小的我转载，谢了哈。

Eye to eye, face to face!

They have ruined the game of baseball. There are too many rules. It's almost like the empires are the cops.

The announcer at the 23:20 mark hit the nail on the head. A manager or pitcher should be able to ask what was wrong with a pitch without being tossed from the game. If they keep arguing after that you can toss them. Umpires seem to feel they are why fans pay to watch games. They are very, very wrong! Just like some of their calls!

9:38 what the hell that?

@8mins that's that's baulk

too many commercials

If they played as much baseball as they were chewing on stuff there would be a barage of baseballs flying all over the place.

Why is this ref thing still a thing?? You have an onscreen representation done by computer.. just follow that surely then they can’t get it wrong.. problem solved!

The freight

20:45 GET OUTTA HERE!

Yea his back is turned so his mouth is clearly not functioning nor are the ump's ears. Right? You got it all figured out! Don't ya?

Everytime an ump makes a bad call especially when they eject someone they should be band from the next game they are scheduled to ump in.and be fined accordingly.

Finally

April may eject them, or April and May ejections.

I agree. If a manager is talking to an umpire, why does an umpire who has nothing to do with the play get involved? 23:12

2024

Tichenor

Umpire should be willing to give people more leash, and instead of throwing people out of the game, you shouldn’t have at least a minute just have more time so they can talk through things with them what they actually did was wrong

Why me bruh mlb ejections idk

Tichnor should be ejecting Phelps for that

"Maybe the umpire simply needs to shut off that right ear". ...Or maybe the little whiny manager needs to shut her mouth.

Reds game with Milwaukee

Why are there not more actions taken against umpires who either over react to situations or are just plain wrong in their calls.

Good for the umpires ! even when unfair, if left alone these players would turn the sport into a circus

When a pitch goes through the batter’s box opposite the batter and the umpire calls that a strike, that umpire should not be working games at the major league level! That was one of the very worst calls I have ever witnessed!

Rea balk for the Padres is hard to tell….I like the Pirates but I don’t think it was a balk

What is that andy green? Hot

1:08:35 Watch the background in the stands, just to the left of home plate. Am I seeing things, or is a fan also in the process of getting kicked out of the ballpark by a Pirates' staff person?? I wonder what was said to warrant that. 🤔😂🤷‍♂️

I used to be dead set against the robot umpires. But many of these umpires are so bad, and there's nothing you can do because their word is FINAL and the law. There's no arguing, even if the ump is so blatantly wrong that a blind person could see it. And some umpires even believe that they are celebrities, and fans look forward to seeing them call a game. It's ridiculous. Replace them all. Let them call foul balls only. And maybe home runs. Maybe. Let's see how they do on the foul balls.

Are umpires ever held accountable for incompetence? The fact that Angel Hernandez is still working means no...

Get youreyes fixed94

Can someone explain why half of these players are chewing tobacco?!? Wtf... who chews tobacco anymore? Why So many? How is it not banned? It’s a stimulant

Is there seriously no recourse for these umps?? No review etc... just what I say goes... ridiculous rule from a bygone era

Discus

GET OUT OF HERE!! 🤪

Joe West. Bye

I doubt Servais would have lasted very long against Bannister

Classic New York Yankees fans relying on the umps to win games🤡

The balk no ball is horrible. Umps should have been fined

No such thing as unejected.

Hey San Diego broadcasters! Stop being full of yourselves, you homers! (from the SD-Pittsburgh game)

Sano should’ve grabbed that umpire. Grabbed him by the collar. Put his face in the dirt. And showed him where the plate is and what the strike zone is

First

The umpires get a bounty for every one they eject

some umpires are such snowflakes ,

Grown men playing a kids game acting like children

Huge Fan Bro

This is what happens when you can't fire people. Incompetent umps

this game is so fucking soft now rofl

Umpires are ruining the game of baseball.

Its a baseball game not a murder verdict..whats up with umps pretending they are supreme court justices and not allowing a single word or emotion..pacification tactics.

Rigged games!

Firs

It's 2023 and nothing has changed. Umps still suck and half are still in MLB

BTW, Joe West thinks he's more important than the sport of baseball. The sooner MLB gets rid of him, the better.

Umps are way too sensitive. They got to cut these guys a little slack. It seems they just love the power.

LOL Without Umps, MLB games would be like watching poo piles dissipate. LOL

as far as i have to say these umps should not have the power to throw anyone out of a game, as bad as they suck they should be throw out, but yet the teams and and players have to put up with their crap

What happens when a player or manager gets thrown out and the call was actually wrong by the Umpire ? These Umpires along with their Union are destroying Major League Baseball.

If you believe these pitchers making millions of dollars hit these players by accident, I have a bridge to sell you. Each batter was hit on purpose.

Good call
