There's more to this. One of the broadcasters laughing at Bucknor was Bob Brenly, who couldn't stand Bucknor when he managed due to his horrendous strike zone. Brenly was once tossed from a game while protecting Curt Schilling from getting ejected in the first inning after a Bucknor Special.

I fully support in his effort to speak his true feelings on the situation. It would be so entertaining to hear announcers start to rip into these terrible umpires 😂

Like truly, "go fuck yourself---I'm not shit, but you're not shit either---get away from me"
@@guitarcovers5437 I know right? His opinion seems to boil down to “they make a lot of money so who cares if someone messes with their career” just seems silly to not want the game played with as little emotional intervention as possible, and sadly, we’ve seem that the umps simply are not capable of being impartial and logical.
what's more egregious is the shade the ump is throwing toward the manager after he fucks up the call. everyone fucks up calls, but umpires shouldn't be throwing personal shade at managers, all of sudden its an ego thing for the ump and that is the exact opposite of what we need and why everyone wants robo umps.
This ump is so bad, he knows he's making bad calls, thats why he's making a call, then looking at the bench so that he can immediately eject the manager. He knows what he's doing. He's bad and he's looking to throw people out. This ump needs to be removed. It's so sad to see these shit umps just continue to exist in the game even when it's completely obvious that they need to go.
The Cardinals had their first spring training game yesterday. CB Bucknor refused to shake Marmol's hand. After the game Marmol said, "I just don’t think he’s good at his job and it just showed his lack of class as a man.” I see more Marmol/Bucknor videos in Jomboys future.
For someone who is on the verge of having his job replaced by a robot, he looks way too ready to purposely miss calls for the chance to take a stab at a young manager with no MLB playing experience 😅 umpires will smirk and grin their way right of out of their jobs at this rate. Happened again with a botched check swing call against Arenado like 2 days after this
Some people really hated Joe West, I never thought he was all that bad, yeah he had his crap moments but I think I mostly knew for the longevity, he isn’t Angel Hernandez or CB Bucknor crappy
"C.B., you did a great job! You're 1 of the best!" "Thanks, Angel!" "Since I retired, you've filled the void I thought I was leaving." "Thanks, Joe West!"
"Your time was done at 22" the umpire knew that Marmol played college baseball at CofC and then at 22 went to the minors and was just terrible and then takes this cheap shot at him after he's arguing a bad call.
My jaw dropped Like, that’s weirdly personal; I think the ump might be a bit insecure about his own lack of a ball-playing career. It’s both a low-blow and yet too pathetic to be offended by.
The thing was CB said that like it was a slight against Oli. If I was the manager, I would of replied "At least I was good enough at playing baseball to play professionally. Your sorry ass sucked too much to play professionally so you decided to umpire and you suck even more at that."
Of course he does. These guys have massive, unchecked egos and the league apparently doesn't care that literally everyone is sick of umps purposefully doing their job poorly because they revel in others' anger. What other job can you do where screwing up on purpose doesn't get you fired?
HIS REACTION IS NOT UN-SYMPATHETIC. JESUS THIS COMMENT SECTION IS DRIVING ME CRAZY---YOU UNDERSTAND UMPIRES ARE GENERALLY MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN PLAYERS, RIGHT? YOU REALIZE THAT HAVING TO SLIGHTLY WONDER ABOUT WHAT WAY A PITCH IS GONNA GET CALLED IS A GOOD THING, RIGHT?!? IT'S A MORE DYNAMIC AND AGGRESSIVE GAME, GET THE BAT OFF YOUR SHOULDER. ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO CRY ABOUT A CLOSE CALL COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER AT BAT---THIS IS ALMOST ALWAYS TRUE. IT'S ALWAYS A BIT OF AN EXCUSE TO YELL AT THE UMPIRE---VERY RARELY ARE THEY *THAT BAD*
Covered nearly every home game of the Canton-Akron Indians in 1993. C.B. Bucknor was an Eastern League umpire at the time. Had you told anyone at that time that he would be a MLB umpire three years later, they would have been shocked. Twenty-seven years later, he's still in the bigs. And he's still just as awful as he had been in 1993.
The operative term is "affirmative action". Remember that the next time someone repeats the baloney story about how hard it is for POCs to survive in this country. In fact, they get a boost in every way possible.
I wish a team had the balls to just leave and when questioned say “we want to play professional baseball, it’s apparent that the umpire is not interested in that and we are not interested in wasting our time.”
Agreed and it would absolutely be the thing that fixes this garbage more than anything else. If you have one team walking out of the game early on, within the first 3 innings, fans would be pissed and want a refund. Owners would refuse, it would turn into a legal battle, and it would get very messy for MLB optically. Possibly even worse than the roids. You want change you impact owners purse strings. Watch how quickly this gets fixed. Watch how fast robo umps get put in and garbage umpires like Angel or Bucknor get thrown out despite the union protecting them. But it would never happen because players want their checks, managers want their job, and even a trash win against a garbage team like the Pirates matters in some of their minds.
This, honestly. Teams need to hold officials more responsible the only way the league will feel. Bad Press and Money. Undoubtedly the club/manager will get a 'fine' but it'll be better for the sports in question.
Or, I’m not sure if it’s allowed, bring booze to the stadium and have both teams start drinking when the calls start going to hell. Boozeball from that moment on.
@@brianlespoir6287 Got a perfect example of something like this that happened with the football (soccer to Americans) team I support. The ref announced for our most recent game is a supporter of a rival team we are locked in battle with for automatic promotion, my club wrote to the authorities and 24 hours later he was switched. That's how things should work but with the MLB's track record I just don't think it will.
The lip reading was crazy in this one. Major props. Doing what you're famous for but God damn doing it to the level. Claps to the jomboy crew that made that lip reading happen.
@@Ueiksg horseshit and bullshit usually have two different meanings. horseshit is when something is terrible and bullshit is when someone is lying or something is unbelievable.

@@Ueiksg I think you’re a got your answer. However as an anecdote, my grandfather was an old baseball head, he played college ball for Guys Mills Pennsylvania, then played farm league for the Pirates until he took one too many pictures to the head. He exited the game having a seizure on home plate. That being said, he always loved the game and handed that love down to his children and grandchildren. His favorite word in the world was … horseshit.
I don't even mind a bit of human error. It's the ejecting whoever points out the screw-ups that's worse. The 'I'm never wrong' attitude. What about a bit of humility? Has an ump ever held up his hands, admitted he blew a call like any human can? I don't recall it.
@@PMurray2694 No man, it's the serious stroke zone: Signs of a stroke tend to come on suddenly and in no particular order. The easiest way to check for stroke is to remember FAST, which stands for face droopiness, arm weakness, and speech difficulty. If those symptoms are present, you should call 9-1-1 immediately.
I think they should require a pitch track on the video board on each stadium. You can keep the umpires and allow them to ultimately make the call but you can also have live Quality Assurance feedback on how they should adjust their calls.
Thank you Jimmy for continuing to call out these terrible umpires and showing not only how they make terrible calls, but also how unprofessional they can be at times as well as being the instigators in a lot of situations.
@@Troutprophet everybody needs attention. Its a basic human need. If he's been deprived maybe that makes him this way but everyone needs some form of attention don't front.
The umpire lost his cool, and that’s bad. Because when you lose your cool as an official, you lose all credibility. Subconsciously you might make more emotionally motivated calls. As an official for soccer (I know it’s different but hear me out) you can’t lose your cool, you have to maintain a level head so you can keep the sanctity of the game.
You nailed it. Officials are supposed to be impartial. Actions like this show that you are incapable of governing your emotions and remaining impartial.
Just don't be an Anthony Taylor. Seriously though I agree, in top flight soccer there is an air of dignity and integrity over the match that comes, in part, from the officials' general refusal to make it about themselves. They usually act with authority but not ego, despite being mobbed by both teams at contested moments, handling information through their earpieces and right in their face, and the screams of 10s of thousands of fans. They can also punish diving and dissent.
Fooey on the game and the calls. What's important here is that Jomboy has gone to next level lip reading. One at a time isn't good enough any more. Now he's taking the time to record each lip reading separately, then put them together for a more realistic presentation of the real action. Thank you, Jomboy, thank you. Simply top notch. Just like the feeling you get when you bet on the winning team at Draft Kings.
An official has no business ever insulting a coach/player, and Bucknor needs to remember that some of the greatest coaches/managers in sports history (Paul Brown, Bill Belichick, Vince Lombardi, etc.) weren't good players.
Isn't it crazy that the NFL can hire referees who take torrents of abuse and still keep a cool head without ejecting anyone, but MLB can't find one single guy to be an umpire that doesn't want to be the center of attention? It's almost as if they train umps on how to talk back to guys who argue, rather than train them on how to call balls and strikes.
I think it’s atleast a little better in the NFL because the refs give penalties that effect the game. Push a ref in the heat of the moment in the NFL you would get a fine, maybe ejected, and the other team would get yards. The MLB you would get suspended for multiple games.
Just go automated SZ. Problem solved. And the offense would drastically increase. It’s 2022. It’s not ok for a ball to be called a strike. It drastically puts the already disadvantaged offense in an even more precarious spot. And pitchers are simply too good to be given extra room. The average fastball continues to increase while the overall batting average continue to decrease. Pitchers don’t need ANY extra help!
@@SchrodingerMil that may be so, but even when coaches blow their top over a call in football, the ref doesn't start yelling back, and he doesn't toss the coach from the game. Just check out some of the videos where miked up coaches yell at officials - it's just as bad as baseball, if not more so, and yet somehow they let it just roll off of them. It's clearly within the ability of a baseball umpire, as a human being, to refrain from engaging, but they just don't. I don't get it.
My favorite thing is that CB thinks that just because “I’ve been here” you haven’t means he doesn’t need to be accountable. Just because you’re cozy because “you know baseball” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be accountable. And we wonder why baseball has issues. It’s because the strongest people on the field are the old men who yell at clouds
CB is an embarrassment to the game of baseball. He clearly has an agenda on the field looking for any opportunity to throw someone out and have the game be about him. Guy shouldnt be allowed on the field let alone be paid to effect the game.
Oh my God - the two Man shows are the best thing ever. Thank you so much for being the dialogue of both sides. At 1.5 speed is the greatest thing that I needed all week. Thank you!
You could tell CB was just trying to fuck with everyone, muttering to himself and smirking everytime he looked at the bench.. Like I get being incompetent, every sport in the world has officials that make bad calls, but when you are actively trying to ruin the game for everyone then something needs to be done...
Terrible Umps are getting ridiculous. I was against the automated calls but I've personally had enough. Either automate balls and strikes or demand accountability from these old guys who probably need glasses to read.
the problem is age. all the really bad umps are old and can't track a 90+ mph ball. so they either guess, or base the call on the catcher. which is why if a catcher sets up inside but the pitch in down the middle they will call it a ball. because the cathcer had to reach to catch it so it must have been outside.
Yea statistically speaking umps are crazy accurate. But the older ones, with 15+ years of experience, are the ones that are the most inaccurate. It’s those few that are making all of them look bad. ua-cam.com/video/_nX_ZphDNQM/v-deo.html This video breaks it down pretty well, at about the 10:00 mark
@@xplayfan21 that's because they can't force them to retire, they have to retire themselves and with how much this job pays i don't think they want to do it
Bucknor has no class. He refused to shake Marmol's hand before a Spring Training game yesterday. What a petty, vindictive human being. He has no business umpiring in professional sports. It's sad when Angel Hernandez is more of an adult that you are. Bucknor shouldn't retire. He should be fired.
You know an ump is bad when he intentionally misses calls and then stares at the bench antagonizing the managers. Its also hilarious that CB thinks he is more important than a manager of a professional baseball team. He should retire for being a complete bozo, because if he doesn’t a robot will eventually do it and his job will be to stand there and do what he is told seeing as he is completely incompetent behind the plate.
It reminded me of when Joe west had a stare down with madbum after he was frustrated with a pitch. Idk if it's age or the job but umps need a psych evaluation every few months
@@nohigherbeing Makes no sense. When the manager leaves someone else fills the role meaning there is still a manager. Thinking being a manager isn’t a very important role and the umps are important is completely nuts. Anyone can be an ump, very few can manage a major league baseball team.
The “you just got here” from the ump is extremely telling. God they just can’t stand not being the center of attention. Think everyone paid to watch them
I'll be completely honest with you Jimmy. These umpires that can't call games for shit are bad for the game of baseball, but they're amazing for us because we get to all laugh together when you get so much material to breakdown. Love your stuff Jimmy and all the rest of the gang!
I would love to see a moment where the second team’s manager decides to get ejected in solidarity with the other team’s manager to protest the shitty umps
Thank God Jomboy did this. I kept watching this altercation over and over but could not determine what CB was saying, let alone Oli. How tf does he do it???
Idk how he does it, but that simultaneous lip reading is astoundingly funny. That You just got here made me pause the video. Jim & Jomboy is truly a legend.
i never wanna call for someone’s job, and i won’t, but there needs to be accountability. him staring into the dugout trying to pick a fight over multiple batters, and then trying to big league oli marmol by insulting his big league and managerial career just can’t be accepted. it’s egotistical, personal, and unprofessional at that point. like i said, im not calling for jobs, but the robozone, or sending umps like this down to triple A for an extended period of time, or suspensions *should* be on the table, just unfortunate it never will be because the umpires union somehow has more strength than the players union
Genuinely intrigued as to why you are so against calling for someone to be fired in this scenario. This isn't some cancel culture bullshit, this is a man who is doing his job poorly because of his ego. Blatantly seeking out a fight in the way he does in this clip, then immediately making it personal, as you pointed out. Frankly, the accountability you are asking for is for him to be replaced by someone competent. I am very comfortable with this, personally. Fuck this smug asshole, give the job to someone more capable of setting aside personal involvement and play the role of umpire appropriately.
They should be able to review like three or four miscalled pitches per game per team. Then, if an ump gets too many bad calls, they're OUTA there! Fired!
I think I can understand the argument for both the challenge system and the full fletched robo-umps. With the challenge system the player has to decide if he wants to challenge a call or not, but with robot umps both the pitcher and batters would be more capable of dominating and both sides would be happy, but 1 thing is sure, SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!
It seems like that ump enjoys throwing people out more than he cares about calling the game. He's just making atrocious calls so that someone will do something worthy of ejection.
Wow he made the slightest complaint and gets ejected, get these awful ego monsters out of here and have them find an actual job where they get yelled at for incompetence
Ever notice how a lot of the most well-known umpires also suck at their job? CB’s notorious for putting the spotlight on himself just like this, he’s done it his whole career. If he isn’t blowing calls he’s picking fights so he can toss someone
Jim Joyce is better known for how he handled a bad call, tbf But yeah; outside of him and Greg “Motioning to both sides” Gibson, I only ever hear of crappy imps
Remember the video jomboy did of the ump that only missed 1 call all game and that was a 50:50 call anyway? No idea what his name is despite watching that video
The problem with the MLB’s umpire Union is that their contract makes it hard for the league to get rid of umpires. In the NFL, if an official make a really bad call, or blows a penalty enforcement, the crew can get suspended for a wrong penalty enforcement or fired for bad calls during the season. Also, officials get rehired every year, or not.
The Union has failed if they are protecting this guy. He like the jerk in the bar just looking to instigate a fight because he thinks he is better than everyone else. Smirk tossing someone out on a knowingly bad call is just terrible
That one at 0:40 is just so bad. I understand homeplate umps missing some calls here and there but he has a very clear view at that pitch. Just can’t have that guy behind the plate.
I’ve seen a breakdown of this same ejection on another channel. The other didn’t include the hilarious voiceover of umpire and manager arguing. Doing it in different tones is just pure gold 😂
I was behind home plate in Baltimore against the Rays a couple of months ago when CB was umpiring.... i have no clue whether he was any good or not from my angle but after the game he was walking 3 feet from me to wherever umpires go and i said "Another great effort tonight, Angel". He stopped and walked over to me and said "You're fucking trash dude".
I’m not the only one to suggest this, but umpires need to start having press conferences after each game. It’s time for them to be held accountable. Especially guys like CB and Angel
I like the double lip reading at once. Gives us an idea of the argument. Also after that outside ball call, is he cracking a smile underneath his mask?
As an umpire, I dont like how emotionally invested these umps are getting with the ejections. You can read the guys lips, Youre gone! Get the fuck outta here. Thats very telling when an ump is cursing and arguing back. And when that happens, an ump should be taken out as well. His bias and incompetence is costing wins and losses. Ultimately, its unprofessional and a bad look for the league to continue to tolerate the bad calls and behavior of an ump, who is suppose to be the leader and example for the other refs.
Great to hear a take like this from an umpire. Have to call out the shitty ones so your profession isn’t dragged through the mud. Hope you have a great career umpiring if that’s your goal 🤙🏻
Enough. We have radar guns for nascar speeding; it’s time to just let the technology call balls and strikes. What is the point of having these old, wrong officials who can’t be fired for ineptitude.
So statistically speaking, umps are more accurate than ever. It’s just a handful of jackoffs that are bad. Ironically it’s the older, more “experienced” umps that are statistically worse.
I work in AAA and the robo-ump is truly a beautiful thing. Every time we've ever felt unsure about a call in the control room we've run it back for our own viewing and sure enough, it's right.
In a way, I wish all MLB major league umps would call this badly and reaction would be fierce so that MLB would move faster and take the robo-ump more seriously. We need it now!
thats what i was thinking. just have both teams agree to go back in the clubhouse after the anthem and refuse to take the field if the homeplate ump isn't changed.
Just two managers meet up .. Oli Marmol: hey Tony, who's behind the plate? Lovullo: (deep heavy sigh) Bucknor ... OM: so ... TL: yep. *neither team leaves the dugout while Bucknor stares off over the center field wall trying to remember if he left the bathroom light on again*
Because the MLB actually knows what it's doing, and knows why umpires are good for baseball, and why robo-umps are dumb, and why it's good to stand up for your umpires despite bad calls.
@@joeessig3550 funny you keep posting your incorrect opinion in all these threads. Shit like this, an umpire intentionally picking a fight with a manager, isn't good for the game in any way. Umps have way too much power to allow them to get away with stuff like this. They can literally make it so a team wins or loses doing this garbage. It's Major League BASEBALL. Not Major League Middle Aged Men Power Tripping Because They Are Unstable and Lonely
At 0:35 when the ump is looking at the manager to see if he has a reaction, that's when you know the ump is making it about him. The league need to end this ump shittery!
Coming from a son of a former college football official, the good officials do not really want to be a factor of the game. They want to make sure the game is played correctly and do not want to be a factor (albeit sometimes they have to). Not sure why this guy was arguing about who was more a part of the game.

The fact that CB is a "somebody" is bad. We only know the names of bad umpires. Good umpires are "nobody's" in a positive way
Except Tom Hallion, whom we know because he has the greatest strike three call in history.
Some people really hated Joe West, I never thought he was all that bad, yeah he had his crap moments but I think I mostly knew for the longevity, he isn’t Angel Hernandez or CB Bucknor crappy
@@williamsmith8522 That's fair, and I agree. West is technically a good ump. He's just on a power trip far too often.
good umping is a thankless job
Excuse you, I know the Goat Pat Hoberg very well
Has there ever been an occurrence of both teams’ managers agreeing to confront the ump about the same?
i think Louvillo (Dbacks manager) did it once. Joe Madden aswell
@@NickKiwiFreak he looked like he wanted to here but Bucknor wouldn’t turn his way.
"C.B., you did a great job! You're 1 of the best!"
"Thanks, Angel!"
"Since I retired, you've filled the void I thought I was leaving."
"Thanks, Joe West!"
Hell of a call CB. 4 inches off the plate!! Just like me in the 1997 World Series!!!
Eric Gregg’s ghost.
at least joe west was fun
"Your time was done at 22" the umpire knew that Marmol played college baseball at CofC and then at 22 went to the minors and was just terrible and then takes this cheap shot at him after he's arguing a bad call.
And then Oli took that personal. I was a doubter of Oli before this season but man he has proven people like me wrong
I'm actually impressed.
My jaw dropped
Like, that’s weirdly personal; I think the ump might be a bit insecure about his own lack of a ball-playing career. It’s both a low-blow and yet too pathetic to be offended by.
The thing was CB said that like it was a slight against Oli. If I was the manager, I would of replied "At least I was good enough at playing baseball to play professionally. Your sorry ass sucked too much to play professionally so you decided to umpire and you suck even more at that."
@Trigger Warning man if that's what you enjoy watching and not the game itself then you should watch some fighting sports, you would like them more
I swear Bucknor is fighting back a smile at 0:48. It’s like he gets a thrill from screwing with teams
He was literally laughing
Of course he does. These guys have massive, unchecked egos and the league apparently doesn't care that literally everyone is sick of umps purposefully doing their job poorly because they revel in others' anger. What other job can you do where screwing up on purpose doesn't get you fired?

Covered nearly every home game of the Canton-Akron Indians in 1993. C.B. Bucknor was an Eastern League umpire at the time. Had you told anyone at that time that he would be a MLB umpire three years later, they would have been shocked. Twenty-seven years later, he's still in the bigs. And he's still just as awful as he had been in 1993.
Awful as in bad at his job or just a horrible person overall? I'm leaning towards both because this video proves just that.

I have absolutely no idea what your comment means
I wish a team had the balls to just leave and when questioned say “we want to play professional baseball, it’s apparent that the umpire is not interested in that and we are not interested in wasting our time.”
Agreed and it would absolutely be the thing that fixes this garbage more than anything else. If you have one team walking out of the game early on, within the first 3 innings, fans would be pissed and want a refund. Owners would refuse, it would turn into a legal battle, and it would get very messy for MLB optically. Possibly even worse than the roids. You want change you impact owners purse strings. Watch how quickly this gets fixed. Watch how fast robo umps get put in and garbage umpires like Angel or Bucknor get thrown out despite the union protecting them.
But it would never happen because players want their checks, managers want their job, and even a trash win against a garbage team like the Pirates matters in some of their minds.
This, honestly. Teams need to hold officials more responsible the only way the league will feel. Bad Press and Money. Undoubtedly the club/manager will get a 'fine' but it'll be better for the sports in question.
Don't even wait till the game, ask before the game for a replacement and ask other teams to do the same. Use video's to make a statement.
Or, I’m not sure if it’s allowed, bring booze to the stadium and have both teams start drinking when the calls start going to hell. Boozeball from that moment on.
@@brianlespoir6287 Got a perfect example of something like this that happened with the football (soccer to Americans) team I support. The ref announced for our most recent game is a supporter of a rival team we are locked in battle with for automatic promotion, my club wrote to the authorities and 24 hours later he was switched. That's how things should work but with the MLB's track record I just don't think it will.
How or why these guys aren’t held accountable when they’re clearly hurting the game of baseball is beyond me.

@@Ueiksg I think you’re a got your answer. However as an anecdote, my grandfather was an old baseball head, he played college ball for Guys Mills Pennsylvania, then played farm league for the Pirates until he took one too many pictures to the head.
He exited the game having a seizure on home plate. That being said, he always loved the game and handed that love down to his children and grandchildren. His favorite word in the world was … horseshit.
These umpires are actively looking for a fight now. Time they are replaced with the k-zone. They’ve shown they have no idea where the strike zone is.
I don't even mind a bit of human error. It's the ejecting whoever points out the screw-ups that's worse. The 'I'm never wrong' attitude. What about a bit of humility? Has an ump ever held up his hands, admitted he blew a call like any human can? I don't recall it.
@@PMurray2694 No man, it's the serious stroke zone: Signs of a stroke tend to come on suddenly and in no particular order.

I think they should require a pitch track on the video board on each stadium. You can keep the umpires and allow them to ultimately make the call but you can also have live Quality Assurance feedback on how they should adjust their calls.
Love the dual audio you're doing for the argument. Really brings it to life.
Thank you Jimmy for continuing to call out these terrible umpires and showing not only how they make terrible calls, but also how unprofessional they can be at times as well as being the instigators in a lot of situations.
Ever heard of Joe West? Lhh that guy acted like he was god on the field.

The umpire lost his cool, and that’s bad. Because when you lose your cool as an official, you lose all credibility. Subconsciously you might make more emotionally motivated calls. As an official for soccer (I know it’s different but hear me out) you can’t lose your cool, you have to maintain a level head so you can keep the sanctity of the game.
Spot on dude
You’re supposed to be a professional, impartial arbiter-when you get personal and go after a manager, you look bush league
You nailed it. Officials are supposed to be impartial. Actions like this show that you are incapable of governing your emotions and remaining impartial.
Just don't be an Anthony Taylor. Seriously though I agree, in top flight soccer there is an air of dignity and integrity over the match that comes, in part, from the officials' general refusal to make it about themselves. They usually act with authority but not ego, despite being mobbed by both teams at contested moments, handling information through their earpieces and right in their face, and the screams of 10s of thousands of fans. They can also punish diving and dissent.
Yeah you wouldn’t want to miss out an a chance to see that extremely rare soccer feat. A goal.
That's almost truer in soccer because the decisions in the game can get somebody seriously injured.
Fooey on the game and the calls. What's important here is that Jomboy has gone to next level lip reading. One at a time isn't good enough any more. Now he's taking the time to record each lip reading separately, then put them together for a more realistic presentation of the real action. Thank you, Jomboy, thank you. Simply top notch. Just like the feeling you get when you bet on the winning team at Draft Kings.
An official has no business ever insulting a coach/player, and Bucknor needs to remember that some of the greatest coaches/managers in sports history (Paul Brown, Bill Belichick, Vince Lombardi, etc.) weren't good players.
Not sure why you felt like you had to name managers from sports that aren't baseball there. Baseball has better examples.
Former Cardinal Manager Tony LaRussa is a great example.
@@juliebraden6911 coaches, not managers
You called?
Wasn’t Lombardi on one of the great offensive lines in CFB history at Fordham?..
Isn't it crazy that the NFL can hire referees who take torrents of abuse and still keep a cool head without ejecting anyone, but MLB can't find one single guy to be an umpire that doesn't want to be the center of attention? It's almost as if they train umps on how to talk back to guys who argue, rather than train them on how to call balls and strikes.
They'd shrivel up into the fetal position if they were NBA refs.
If they can't fire Angel Hernandez they can't fire anybody. Point taken.
I think it’s atleast a little better in the NFL because the refs give penalties that effect the game. Push a ref in the heat of the moment in the NFL you would get a fine, maybe ejected, and the other team would get yards. The MLB you would get suspended for multiple games.
Just go automated SZ. Problem solved. And the offense would drastically increase. It’s 2022. It’s not ok for a ball to be called a strike. It drastically puts the already disadvantaged offense in an even more precarious spot. And pitchers are simply too good to be given extra room. The average fastball continues to increase while the overall batting average continue to decrease. Pitchers don’t need ANY extra help!
@@SchrodingerMil that may be so, but even when coaches blow their top over a call in football, the ref doesn't start yelling back, and he doesn't toss the coach from the game. Just check out some of the videos where miked up coaches yell at officials - it's just as bad as baseball, if not more so, and yet somehow they let it just roll off of them. It's clearly within the ability of a baseball umpire, as a human being, to refrain from engaging, but they just don't. I don't get it.
My favorite thing is that CB thinks that just because “I’ve been here” you haven’t means he doesn’t need to be accountable. Just because you’re cozy because “you know baseball” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be accountable. And we wonder why baseball has issues. It’s because the strongest people on the field are the old men who yell at clouds
All of the older umps have the worst ratings for balls and strikes. Some of it is age, some of it is old baseball culture.
CB is an embarrassment to the game of baseball. He clearly has an agenda on the field looking for any opportunity to throw someone out and have the game be about him. Guy shouldnt be allowed on the field let alone be paid to effect the game.
I’ve watched this so many times. Love it. LOVE IT!!! Thanks Jomboy.
Oh my God - the two Man shows are the best thing ever. Thank you so much for being the dialogue of both sides. At 1.5 speed is the greatest thing that I needed all week. Thank you!

You could tell CB was just trying to fuck with everyone, muttering to himself and smirking everytime he looked at the bench..
Like I get being incompetent, every sport in the world has officials that make bad calls, but when you are actively trying to ruin the game for everyone then something needs to be done...
Hes the Joey Crawford of badeball
Terrible Umps are getting ridiculous. I was against the automated calls but I've personally had enough. Either automate balls and strikes or demand accountability from these old guys who probably need glasses to read.
the problem is age. all the really bad umps are old and can't track a 90+ mph ball. so they either guess, or base the call on the catcher. which is why if a catcher sets up inside but the pitch in down the middle they will call it a ball. because the cathcer had to reach to catch it so it must have been outside.
Yea statistically speaking umps are crazy accurate. But the older ones, with 15+ years of experience, are the ones that are the most inaccurate. It’s those few that are making all of them look bad.

Bucknor has no class. He refused to shake Marmol's hand before a Spring Training game yesterday. What a petty, vindictive human being. He has no business umpiring in professional sports.
It's sad when Angel Hernandez is more of an adult that you are. Bucknor shouldn't retire. He should be fired.
You know an ump is bad when he intentionally misses calls and then stares at the bench antagonizing the managers. Its also hilarious that CB thinks he is more important than a manager of a professional baseball team. He should retire for being a complete bozo, because if he doesn’t a robot will eventually do it and his job will be to stand there and do what he is told seeing as he is completely incompetent behind the plate.
It reminded me of when Joe west had a stare down with madbum after he was frustrated with a pitch. Idk if it's age or the job but umps need a psych evaluation every few months

Genuinely intrigued as to why you are so against calling for someone to be fired in this scenario. This isn't some cancel culture bullshit, this is a man who is doing his job poorly because of his ego. Blatantly seeking out a fight in the way he does in this clip, then immediately making it personal, as you pointed out. Frankly, the accountability you are asking for is for him to be replaced by someone competent. I am very comfortable with this, personally. Fuck this smug asshole, give the job to someone more capable of setting aside personal involvement and play the role of umpire appropriately.

🏳️🌈
Which is what literally all subscribers are here for buddy
They should be able to review like three or four miscalled pitches per game per team. Then, if an ump gets too many bad calls, they're OUTA there! Fired!
Or just use the electronic umpire systems like they do in the minor leagues, and get rid of this nonsense all together.
It's MLB. they thing they're the reason why fans came
I think I can understand the argument for both the challenge system and the full fletched robo-umps. With the challenge system the player has to decide if he wants to challenge a call or not, but with robot umps both the pitcher and batters would be more capable of dominating and both sides would be happy, but 1 thing is sure, SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!
It seems like that ump enjoys throwing people out more than he cares about calling the game. He's just making atrocious calls so that someone will do something worthy of ejection.
This is 100 percent the best sports commentary channel anywhere.
Awesome argument voice-over. “Your time was done at 22” 🤣🤣🤣☠️
It’s a problem when umpire is missing calls to bait the managers to get ejected. MLB should not allow this. This is ridiculous.

Always enjoy the lip reading parts. Best baseball videos out there.
The problem with the MLB’s umpire Union is that their contract makes it hard for the league to get rid of umpires. In the NFL, if an official make a really bad call, or blows a penalty enforcement, the crew can get suspended for a wrong penalty enforcement or fired for bad calls during the season. Also, officials get rehired every year, or not.
The Union has failed if they are protecting this guy. He like the jerk in the bar just looking to instigate a fight because he thinks he is better than everyone else. Smirk tossing someone out on a knowingly bad call is just terrible
Sounds like a certain furry poketuber I know who clickbaits other creators to start fights and drama!
Verlisify, YOURE OUT OF THERE!
get rid of the union
That one at 0:40 is just so bad. I understand homeplate umps missing some calls here and there but he has a very clear view at that pitch. Just can’t have that guy behind the plate.
I’ve seen a breakdown of this same ejection on another channel. The other didn’t include the hilarious voiceover of umpire and manager arguing. Doing it in different tones is just pure gold 😂
I was behind home plate in Baltimore against the Rays a couple of months ago when CB was umpiring.... i have no clue whether he was any good or not from my angle but after the game he was walking 3 feet from me to wherever umpires go and i said "Another great effort tonight, Angel". He stopped and walked over to me and said "You're fucking trash dude".
Besides names and appearances, how else would you distinguish two awful umps?
This is one of the best breakdowns I've seen. Love the editting
I’m not the only one to suggest this, but umpires need to start having press conferences after each game. It’s time for them to be held accountable. Especially guys like CB and Angel
I like the double lip reading at once. Gives us an idea of the argument. Also after that outside ball call, is he cracking a smile underneath his mask?
As an umpire, I dont like how emotionally invested these umps are getting with the ejections. You can read the guys lips, Youre gone! Get the fuck outta here. Thats very telling when an ump is cursing and arguing back. And when that happens, an ump should be taken out as well. His bias and incompetence is costing wins and losses. Ultimately, its unprofessional and a bad look for the league to continue to tolerate the bad calls and behavior of an ump, who is suppose to be the leader and example for the other refs.
Great to hear a take like this from an umpire. Have to call out the shitty ones so your profession isn’t dragged through the mud. Hope you have a great career umpiring if that’s your goal 🤙🏻
Umpires have an actual employee union, and it's way too powerful. Makes it hard for MLB to actually do anything
Some of your best lip reading commentary! I love your stuff man you’re hilarious AND know what you’re talking about
Now Bucknor won't shake Marmol's hand.

Enough. We have radar guns for nascar speeding; it’s time to just let the technology call balls and strikes. What is the point of having these old, wrong officials who can’t be fired for ineptitude.
So statistically speaking, umps are more accurate than ever. It’s just a handful of jackoffs that are bad. Ironically it’s the older, more “experienced” umps that are statistically worse.
I work in AAA and the robo-ump is truly a beautiful thing. Every time we've ever felt unsure about a call in the control room we've run it back for our own viewing and sure enough, it's right.
In a way, I wish all MLB major league umps would call this badly and reaction would be fierce so that MLB would move faster and take the robo-ump more seriously. We need it now!
LOL yo I love the commentary, it’s great stuff
I don't even like baseball but I find myself loving these breakdowns
0:45 looks like he's holding back a smile, he knows what he's doing
Ump seemed like he just wanted to pick a fight with somebody. Dude wasn’t even in the right headspace to write down what he just did afterwards.
What if teams just refused to play for these terrible umps? Imagine the revenue loss. It'd take three instances top before something changes.
thats what i was thinking. just have both teams agree to go back in the clubhouse after the anthem and refuse to take the field if the homeplate ump isn't changed.
Just two managers meet up ..
Oli Marmol: hey Tony, who's behind the plate?
Lovullo: (deep heavy sigh) Bucknor ...
OM: so ...
TL: yep.
*neither team leaves the dugout while Bucknor stares off over the center field wall trying to remember if he left the bathroom light on again*
Because the MLB actually knows what it's doing, and knows why umpires are good for baseball, and why robo-umps are dumb, and why it's good to stand up for your umpires despite bad calls.
@@joeessig3550 funny you keep posting your incorrect opinion in all these threads. Shit like this, an umpire intentionally picking a fight with a manager, isn't good for the game in any way.

Not Major League Middle Aged Men Power Tripping Because They Are Unstable and Lonely
At 0:35 when the ump is looking at the manager to see if he has a reaction, that's when you know the ump is making it about him. The league need to end this ump shittery!
baseball arguments are the best. so are the fights
Coming from a son of a former college football official, the good officials do not really want to be a factor of the game. They want to make sure the game is played correctly and do not want to be a factor (albeit sometimes they have to).
Not sure why this guy was arguing about who was more a part of the game.
I feel like that’s almost a universal thing in sports: the more you notice a referee/official, the worse they’re doing.
Man its almost seems like the umpire is doing it intentionally with those stares after horrible calls.
It probably seems that way to you because that was the point of the video and also because of the 100 posts before yours saying what you said.
