Ejections 162-3 - Umpire Kulpa Ejects BOTH Managers CLE Terry Francona & LAA Phil Nevin in Same Play

HP Umpire Ron Kulpa ejected Guardians manager Terry Francona and Angels manager Phil Nevin within moments-Francona after a denied replay request & Nevin after a denied request to throw warm-up pitches. Report: www.closecallsports.com/2022/...
Twitter: / closecallsports
Discord: / discord
In one of the oddest sequences of the season, Kulpa tossed Francona after denying Francona's apparently timely request for a manager's challenge on a play in which Guardians batter Andres Gimenez may or may not have been touched by Angels pitcher Ryan Tepera's slider in the dirt, THEN ejected Angels skipper Nevin for arguing after Kulpa denied Tepera's request to throw warm-up tosses (having not thrown any pitches during the Francona ejection sequence)...and then one pitch away from the end of the game in the 9th inning, Kulpa was hit in the head by a foul ball and had to leave the game. We started with two managers and a crew chief behind home plate and ended with none.
I have a flight tomorrow and I greatly dislike everyone in Cleveland that made this happen.

Both managers were right. Francona clearly asked for the replay in time, and the pool umpire admitted after the game that the Angels pitcher should have been granted warmup pitches.

So the umpire, after seemingly making the correct call, made an INCORRECT decision to not allow a timely challenge, and then five minutes later went on a power trip by not allowing a pitcher a couple of warmup tosses. Sounds to me like this was pretty much all the fault of the umpire.

@nateward9592 Жыл бұрын

I’ll disagree on the not allowing warmups, cause the pitcher and catcher have some fault there. Watch the video again, especially from the booth view. They spend a good chunk of the time the argument is happening off to the side standing on the mound talking instead of staying warm. They could’ve been ready by the time things were done. Saying it’s the umpires fault for not allowing it, imo, is just covering up for their own stupidity.

Getting one manager upset for not applying a rule properly is one thing, but to deny a pitcher warm-up pitches "Because I said so" and aggravating the OTHER manager in the process shows blatant disrespect for the game. So many things went wrong in five minutes with no action on the diamond. Ron completely lost control here. And as others have pointed out, this isn't the first time he's done something like this.

You can't win then. The other team's manager would be getting tossed if you let them challenge after 30 seconds because you weren't sure. There just needs to be a better system than the umpires always knowing if 20 seconds has passed on every single play while also having to attend to all their other responsibilities and see the exact second the manager taps his head. If they are a button thr manager can press, into a system where someone is specifically resetting a timer every call, something of that sort would be much more efficient and cause fewer arguments.

The argument was whether the pitch hit the batter's foot and Francona wanted to challenge that. The pitch obviously hit the batter's foot but the umpire called it a ball. Francona's argument was that he challenged in time but the umpires somehow did not see it. Again, it was not about balls and strikes. Also, there were not three managers to start the game.

I guess now we need a replay to determine of the replay request was done in a timely manner. I think both teams got hosed on this play. It looked like a hit by pitch for the Cleveland batter, though maybe it wasn’t a hit by pitch (unless they’re calling that a swing) and the replay request appeared to be made with 6 seconds to spare. The problem wasn’t the original but that they incorrectly said the challenge wasn’t a timely challenge. And the Angels pitcher should have been allowed a warmup pitch after the delay.

Bigger blunders than Angel Hernandez

I can only imagine this scenario if Angel Hernandez had been behind the plate.

@richmartin1427 Жыл бұрын

Funny you mention him. The only other time I have seen Francona this angry was when he was in Boston he took issue with an Angel Hernandez balk call and was so mad he had to be restrained by Joe West of all people. Unlike in this incident though, Hernandez actually was right for once.

Such a mature comment by a joke of a person and so called fan. As usual🙄. You ARE the problem. In all of sports. Youth up to professional. Pretty much, in life. You suck.

Umpire got the call right he didn’t get hit. Never seen both managers get tossed out like that. Never seen Tito get upset like that. Watched Tribe baseball since 2011 just about every day. Seeing the F bomb thrown like that by Tito I assume more stuff was going on. Also Giminez has been hit like 20 times this year alone so he’s trying to do his job and protect his Player. I think the angels manager getting tossed was even more crazy. So the guy can’t throw warm Up pitches. That’s not a reason to get Thrown out. also their season is over and we all know Cleveland was going to win that game. It wouldn’t of mattered what pitcher.

10 seconds to hold; 20 seconds to challenge. Since, Terry didn't request to hold within 10 seconds -- play on?

Ron Kulpa is a horrible umpire. Absolutely awful. He should honestly be fired immediately.

@roadmaster3531 Жыл бұрын

Kulpa screwed up.... Both mangers spoke in solidarity after the game... Nevin stating Francona asked for the review and Francona stating the pitcher should of got to throw some warmups... This is just an example of terrible umpiring

@Samanthareneeheart10 Жыл бұрын

Wild. I would have let the pitcher have 2 warmups, I mean that's better than none. I understand the pace of play but still.... As for the first ejection well the umpires have the right to say no the challenge, it's good they ALL got together to talk about the ball that hit the dirt BY the batters foot but from what I could see didn't touch the batters foot till the catcher dropped the ball. The second ejection could have been prevented. If a few warm up throws would have been allowed MAYBE the plate umpire wouldn't have had to come out of the game due to a foul ball.

I don’t know what the big deal with warm up pitches are. I remember back in the day when Weaver and umpire were arguing in plate circle pitcher would keep firing pitches while the argument was going on. I just think it’s more of Kulpa’s power tripping.
