The thing that I question are the umpire’s actions on called third strikes. They are supposed to be emotionless. Their wild pumps and arm actions are really telling us that a decision has been made and anything remotely close to the zone and they’re going to do their bit. A called third strike SHOULD have no more emotional reaction than a called first strike.
Todays players act like little children. The players of old may not have agreed with a third strike call but they didn't throw a tantrum. Hank Aaron once said when he didn't agree with a third strike call he would casually say, " I think you missed that one ump". And walk away.
I loved Bo Jackson as both a baseball and football player. He was mad at himself and never even looked in the direction of the umpire on that clip. That was not a tantrum directed at anybody other than himself….🤔
Could you find the Chad Curtis strikeout while he was a Tiger? It’s in the old Tiger Stadium, against Roger Clemens I think. Curtis used a really large bat, and when he struck out, he smashed it two-handed to the ground, breaking it apart in the process. Find that for me will ya?
Easily the most confrontational position on the field…..umpiring behind the plate. Hundreds of calls and miss a couple and it’s on! Don’t envy any of em, but a bad one makes all of em look bad. I actually think umps get fooled by pitchers too, late breaks, slider when they expected a fast ball, knucklers, and most umps set up behind the catcher and he moves as much as a 11/2’ from side to side giving a different look on every pitch. I wouldn’t be an ump for all the tea in China, although I umped a lot of little league games…..moms are brutal!
i totally understand where these batters stand....they're super competitive, they don't give up at-bats lightly esp to bad calls....further reason for pitch-track
Robo Umps calling balls and strikes cannot get here soon enough. A team only gets 27 outs in a regulation game, and bad calls impact 6-8 at-bats per game. It might not always be on the 3rd strike, but it can be just as at-bat changing if its the first or second called strike.
I watch baseball almost daily. Many pitch calls are just plain bad calls. Pitchers are throwing with a lot of movement {causing elbow damage}. I think a lot of the missed calls are part of the type of pitch that is thrown.
Umpires are making a mockery out of baseball with some of these calls. What's sad is there is technology that could cure bad strike calls but don't want to use it.
Perfect reason why we should use the computer box to determine strikes and balls and not the flawed human eye... Angel Hernandez is the poster child of bad calls.
I feel like everyone that’s talking shit never actually played baseball. There is nothing more frustrating than when you’re in a slump and can’t hit the ball. You beat yourself up so much and that’s why baseball is such a mental sport. I’m not condoning showing your emotions on the field, but sometimes you just can’t help it. Everyone reaches a breaking point.
I don't understand why MLB doesn't fire the umps that make ridiculous calls. Also the managers should have the ability to throw an obviously corupt ump out of the game.
These incompetent umps have been getting away with these horrible calls for many years and they never seem to improve. MLB needs to go to electronic balls and strikes to save the integrity of the game. These umps are a complete joke.
You give any man authority and he is tempted to abuse it. You challenge him, and he WILL ALWAYS use more authority to win the argument. NO ONE ever says, (in the case of baseball), "okay let's look at the footage. If I was wrong, I will admit it." N E V E R. To them, it's better to lose the respect of the players and the fans, than to admit they are wrong. I have no respect at all for that kind of hubris.
We have the technology to eliminate a human calling balls and strikes, wonder why it hasn't been implemented yet. The hardest part is likely the height of the pitch relative to the knees and top of the letters. The batters would have to pose to get that dialed in. Homeplate would be surrounded by some type of beam that would project up vertically. Some people like seeing the arguments with umps, a sort of tradition in baseball. I think that tradition needs to end.
Put aside these iffy calls, what really sticks in my craw is that umpire's have their own strike zones, which is absolute bullshit. There is A STRIKE ZONE!
Go watch some old baseball games from a few decades ago. You can notice how almost no players act like this. Umpires made bad calls then too. Every year the average player gets younger in their behavior. By 2050 they will be throwing outright temper tantrums like the spoiled kids do in the checkout at the store when they don't get candy. It's pathetic, and has all but ruined the game.
Managers used to be the one’s doing most of the arguing. Yes the players did some but not as much as everyone does now. I do have to say there has been some really shitty umping so far this year, especially Hernandez or however his name is spelled. You’re not doing your team any favors when you turn around and start arguing about balls and strikes. You know you’re getting ejected. That also wasn’t an automatic ejection back a few years ago.
Bruh what??? The 70s and 80s and 90s were full of players throwing tantrums… also most of these calls in the video were ninth inning atrocious calls that cost the game…. Can’t fault them for being pissed
There's No Doubt that Umpires can get things wrong. Even the best Umpires can get calls wrong. However, if one Umpire is constantly getting things wrong they need to be fired or go back to Umpire School!
Almost every one of those called strike 3's were HORRIBLE!!! Umpires are making games shorter intentionally. What other reason can there be? Are they ALL THAT BLIND?
Just love how large baseball folk need to argue with their body to let the people in bleachers see how engaged they are. Umps and Refs are humans trying to do the best they can. They don’t always succeed. If there is a real issue, then management should step in and not the players. Bad form to those watching who can be influenced by this behavior - young or old. If they wanted perfection then automate the game and remove the human element. I don’t think we’d want that.
Title should read " explosion after ball called strike that caused a strikeout". 80% of them were bad calls from the home plate ref. They all need glasses and instant replay.
Some were close, and could have gone either way. Some were horrible, but NOBODY is paying 5 cents to watch these people umpire. They want to see the players play. They should be allowed to complain.
Some MLB umps are so bad at calling balls and striked accurately that many believe home plate umps will soon be replaced by robots and sensors at home plate, except for safe and out calls. Current technology has revealed for all to see that in today's MLB there are way too many bad ball/strike calls being made against both teams, by some of these over-rated, hot-dog-chomping officials like Angel "ten to twenty missed calls a game" Hernandez to former corpulent honkie MLB crew chief Joe "where'd my eyesight go?" West. The game was more fun, less controversial and took longer before the graphically displayed strike zone became the norm. Granted, plate umps have the second best view of the pitches, their eyes even with the top of the zone as the pitch is thrown. But sometimes they flat out miss calls, especially low pitches a well as outside pitches. They call balls which are strikes and call strikes that are balls. And we can see it clearly, game afte game, which is unforgivable. Also, when players chirped a bit after controversial calls in the past, most plate umpires seemed to have a thicker skin than some have nowadays. From day to dat the players have to adjust to each plate umpires unique strke zone. That's because MLB tolerates bad calls and wildly varyinstrik zones from one officia t the next, because the MLB rule book, while physically defining the strike zone (based on the creases of players' knees and halfway between the beir belts and the creases of their armpits) says the strike zone is whatever the plate umpire says it its. Of course replays have also proven how many times umpires get calls on close plays wrong at the other bases as well. Can't live with them; can live without them, I guess...
I have lost respect for most sports because of things like this. When a person is thrown out and they keep on arguing or acting up they should face automatic suspension with loss of pay.
You lose respect because players go nuts over incompetent officiating? That's hysterical. I lose respect because of the horrible officiating. That is what causes the sport to lose integrity.
Professional sports are losing touch to reality and what sports are all about. It's sad that cultures put so much emphasis on sports instead of appreciating what the activity is all about. As the old saying goes, "that's entertainment!"
Seems like they could have come up with a better way to call balls and strikes by now. Some of those strikes were actually strikes but some of them absolutely horrible and there should be a way to stop umps from throwing games. Just sayin. That one pitch was in the dirt.
A lot of these pitches were BALLS that were TOO CLOSE TO TAKE with 2 strikes. But not the Russell Martin one. Swing the bat. That Punto one was pretty bad. But Russo is a big f-ing baby.
At around 1:05 what would happen if the batter just immediately started beating the shit out of the ump? With his fists, not with the bat? Also if the catcher stayed out of it? Obviously he would be suspended for at least a year, maybe even out of mlb for good. I guess my question is would the batter face legal consequences? Sometimes I wonder if a player might think it's worth it 🤔 Thanks in advance if anyone knows 👍
Professional baseball players are such babies! It's time for them to grow up, at least a little bit, and stop interrupting games with temper tantrums that only demonstrate a player's stunted emotional development!
why balls and strikes are not called electronically now is insane. of course, the strike zone would be called accurately... and would immediately get 25% larger.....with no outside corner.
Old enough to remember the strike zone was letters to the knees. Now the pitcher has to throw it to a dinner plate.
Seems like the top of the strike zone moved to the belt. Crazy.
The best part about Bo Jackson breaking the bat over his knee, was how causal he was about it.
I don't think he felt a thing.
The thing that I question are the umpire’s actions on called third strikes. They are supposed to be emotionless. Their wild pumps and arm actions are really telling us that a decision has been made and anything remotely close to the zone and they’re going to do their bit. A called third strike SHOULD have no more emotional reaction than a called first strike.
Whatever happened to protecting the plate with 2 strikes?Don't leave it up to the ump on close pitches!
Many of the called strikes are on the edge but what is revealing is the giant egos of the players who react like 5 year old brats
Little League or any kids' league has better behavior than these clowns.
SPOILED OVER PAID BRATS
These are atrocious calls that cost games in the ninth inning. Of course they’re mad you sally. Get a grip
On the edge? Are you serious? They are no where near the zone
Spoken like someone who never played the game.
Todays players act like little children. The players of old may not have agreed with a third strike call but they didn't throw a tantrum. Hank Aaron once said when he didn't agree with a third strike call he would casually say, " I think you missed that one ump". And walk away.
You must have missed, for example, Billy Martin.
I loved Bo Jackson as both a baseball and football player. He was mad at himself and never even looked in the direction of the umpire on that clip. That was not a tantrum directed at anybody other than himself….🤔
One thing every one of those pitches have in common….too close to take!!! 3:09
That one to Blackmon was REALLY low, but you're correct on the others. Harper seems to be PO'd about every pitch called a strike SMH.
You replay at least 4 of these in EVERY VIDEO.
You make the same beef every video
You get your panties in a bunch every video.
The point of these vids is to spam and hope one hits the algorithm, they're not intended to be organized or comprehensive
I just downvote every video
@us-Bahn You wanna cry about it? Maybe I'm tired of seeing the same crap from this "creator" too...

I’m shocked, I tell you shocked!!! That there was no mention of Angel Hernandez behind the plate making any of those terrible called third strikes!!!
Most all of these were correct calls.
Bullshit those pitches were hittable.
These are all great pitches!
harper is such a big baby
And a prima donna.
And a great player. You people are the whiners.
Harper is the best.
1:56. Love the ump's look! And Rizzo, yes, that was a strike. Right down the freaking pipe.
Yep. That's uncharacteristic of Rizz, but that's from a while ago. Ricky Renteria is the manager, so that's between 2011-2014.
Hey Rizzo. That's a strike in any at bat. Siddown
That was the only strike in this video haha!
Harpers was close too
Right down the middle!
😮how much 'juice' does it take to snap a bat? Wanna see bat snaps from 21,22,23,2024.
They really need to remove the umpire from behind the plate and go to the electronic strike zone. Just like in Tennis. It's all like that now.
Is this the 2024 graduating class of the Joe West/Angel Hernandez School of Umpiring?
If it is we're all in trouble !!!
The worst is what they do to Aaron Judge all the time. The guy can't help that he's 6'7".
Every ump has his own strike zone. Thats screwed up. They have GIANT EGOS.
i totally understand where these batters stand....they're super competitive, they don't give up at-bats lightly esp to bad calls....further reason for pitch-track

I think it’s the umpire’s that have changed old jocks that didn’t have it to make a team and they think they are bigger than the game
I'm in shock that none of these terrible calls involved Angel Hernandez. How is that even possible? Are all umpires potentially that bad?
All that trauma. All those pitches were strikes or too close to call. The announcers aren't helping either.
wrong
I wonder how many times the umps look at a replay later and say I F*&% up and made a bad call.
Blue has to review this too. Bad calls happen.
*ARE THESE UMPS JUST BLIND OR ARE THEY BEING PAID UNDER THE TABLE TO CALL A BALL A STRIKE??????...?????*
I feel like everyone that’s talking shit never actually played baseball. There is nothing more frustrating than when you’re in a slump and can’t hit the ball. You beat yourself up so much and that’s why baseball is such a mental sport. I’m not condoning showing your emotions on the field, but sometimes you just can’t help it.

That's why they call it, "THE SHOW".
WELL SAID 🤜🤛
Bryce, that was a strike, haha.

@@drgruber57 Amen to that.
Bring on the robot system. It will avoid most of these.
Harper and Rizz have no beef. They got beat on pitches that caught the plate. Most of the rest of those calls were pretty bad.
Most of this could be avoided if they let the computer rectangle call all non-swinging ball & strikes.
In the age of instant replays there is no reason for those screwups. And the computer even shows the strike zone.
We have the technology to eliminate a human calling balls and strikes, wonder why it hasn't been implemented yet.

Players / Umps still collect their paychecks, right? So, its all good, right?
Hothead Harper and Rizzo looked at strikes, the rest were just horrible. In Rizzo's defense, the flubbies were down 8-0, lol!
There's No Doubt that Umpires can get things wrong. Even the best Umpires can get calls wrong. However, if one Umpire is constantly getting things wrong they need to be fired or go back to Umpire School!
So which one was the "explosion"? And how many died?

Time to implement robo umpires. Bigger fines and suspension for behavior like this.
Some were close, and could have gone either way. Some were horrible, but NOBODY is paying 5 cents to watch these people umpire. They want to see the players play. They should be allowed to complain.
Still more mature than football players.
MLB needs automated pitch analysis like they have in the minors. Just tap on your head and the call is reviewed by video. The umpiring is that bad.
agreed,

Love it ❤
Add these to the list of reasons to get on with the AI strike/ball system. No one to yell at then. Well, maybe Skynet.
Just wait until the Chinese hack into the AI system during a World Series.
You get 2 strikes on you, you have to swing at just about everything.
Gardner must be 50 by now.
Remember kids Make sure you get a bat you can break when your pissed Great Example Pros

What happens if you take the umpires hat?
A tree was cut down to make a baseball bat ,breaks my heart just to see it breaking like that!🤷
They need to replay those strikes just like in football .there is abetter way
When are the umpires going to be held accountable?
Virtually all of those players had pretty legitimate gripes.
And we wonder why kids today are so violent 😮
How about the league doing video replay on the pitch calls !! They are doing it on base calls. 🙄
Umps add adventures to the mundane.
Seems like they could have come up with a better way to call balls and strikes by now. Some of those strikes were actually strikes but some of them absolutely horrible and there should be a way to stop umps from throwing games. Just sayin. That one pitch was in the dirt.
These people can be replaced by A.I., why hasn't it happened yet?
The bats they use today are very poor
Be polite, fellows. Young boys idolize you.
All these out-of-control players are only hurting their teams with these antics.
Half of these calls were strikes
Rizzo? Sorry dude that was a strike.
umpires have made the game disgusting to watch.
A lot of these pitches were BALLS that were TOO CLOSE TO TAKE with 2 strikes. But not the Russell Martin one. Swing the bat. That Punto one was pretty bad. But Russo is a big f-ing baby.
Does Rizzo know you decided to be his disappointed baby?
Get rid of the home plate umps
This is who the kids look up to
By far the majority of the calls are correct.
At around 1:05 what would happen if the batter just immediately started beating the shit out of the ump? With his fists, not with the bat?

Is an ump ever thrown out? Who is their authority?
More babies in this sport than any other.
The moral of the video:
❌️ *"STRIKE?!?!"* Oh come on now that's no strike! If that was a strike th-th-th-th-then you're blind as a horse's ass!
Lisa Murkowski is a RINO.
Professional baseball players are such babies! It's time for them to grow up, at least a little bit, and stop interrupting games with temper tantrums that only demonstrate a player's stunted emotional development!
AND DRESB BETTER, most look like slobs, long hair, chains hanging out all over, where is the dress code, like the Yankees . clean cut players
I thought it was just “a game”? Maybe the umpires should be replace with AI robots?
These umpires really suck
I always thought I paid to go see a baseball game when I went to the ballpark. I was wrong I paid to see the umpires act like God.
Nobody goes to a game to watch crybaby players.
And watch players act like spoiled children.
why balls and strikes are not called electronically now is insane.
of course, the strike zone would be called accurately...
and would immediately get 25% larger.....with no outside corner.
And it wouldn't be baseball.
They have a bat in their hand already they should use it
Big babies throwing temper tantrums
Im from Germany and dont understand the Rage😂
Whats going on there?
Just good Ole American competitiveness...and some sore ego's.
