Well you win some and lose some. Sometimes Manfred doesnt punish you for cheating to win a ring, sometimes he doesnt let you use basic logic with a replay system.
@2639theboss Yup, just like your cheating team you follow and are fan of. Manfred didn't punish them. Just like none of the other 100 cheating champions in baseball history.

@@arley2246 They use to work slow. But they now implement 100 rule changes in one year to ruin the game.

Trevor Plouffe had an interesting comment on this...if a player takes off his batting glove or rolls up his sleeve to show where the ball hit him, no way he gets ejected. We've even seen them shoe the ball with shoe polish on it to get the umpire to reverse the call. Why the shoe?
There is something way more "showy" about taking off your socks and shoes. How many players have sleeves? (all) How many people are shoeless? (2, Altuve and Joe Jackson). That is why he got tossed.
My two cents: #1, we don't know what was said. It's possible and likely that Altuve was cussing out the umpire given his demeanor and aggressive approach. #2 this call was not a reviewable one (the ball hitting altuve happened after a foul ball)
@@MicahSilversmith It's highly unlikely that Altuve was cussing him out. It's the gesture that got him run. As for #2, no, that's not reviewable, but neither is that fact relevant. Umpires miss both reviewable and non-reviewable calls all the time. This happened to be the latter. That doesn't factor into Altuve getting ejected here.
I don't understand; if a batter is hit in the HAND and removes his batting glove to show the ump where he was hit, thats totally fine & can be used as evidence that he was hit. However, if you do the *exact same thing* after your FOOT gets hit.... that's considered an "action by a player specifically intended to ridicule an umpire"? Why would those two situations yield completely different results, when in a way they're basically the exact same thing?
Profar was not hit by that pitch. He was telling everyone he wasn't. And, the replay clearly shows he wasn't. The umpire got it wrong and I don't know what the NY umpires were looking at.
@@penguin44catwo different scenarios in the game. I was there. One case play is a batted fair ball Altuve is declaring hit his foot. The other scenario is a hit by pitch. I hear two sounds but the video shows no hit by pitch.
@@penguin44cahe’s talking about the other play. Profar dodged a pitch, but the ump said it hit him and s9mehow review upheld it, taking the bat out of his hands
I don’t disagree that the foul ball should be reviewable. But we also need to to be careful what we wish for. If eventually the teams/owner/players want everything reviewed then baseball games are going to take much longer to play and not be fun for anyone. Also; there should be a separate entrance and exit point for the umpires to their dressing room to avoid any potential interaction with teams. That’s just trouble waiting, as Lyn said.
I remember a player ejected after being hit by a pitch in the hand. The ump called it a foul ball. The player ended up on the DL with two broken fingers.
I'm trying to figure out what the logic behind having fair/foul not be reviewable would be. The best i can come up with is that if a fair call is reversed to a foul call, it's pretty simple to unwind the previous fair call, reset to the previous situation, and then add the foul call. But if the original call is foul, and it's reversed to a fair call, what is the remedy for that? When the umpires call a batted ball foul, both runners and fielders act differently, and it would often be difficult for umpires to rectify the situation. That leads me to believe that only if the batted ball were called "fair" would it be reviewable, and at that point you end up with the asymmetrical situation that the same batted ball is reviewable if called one way, but not reviewable if called the other way, which is what happens with close calls.
This is always a very difficult call. Umps can't guess it hit him and trusting an Astro is not gonna work. MLB needs to make everything reviewable with a challenge and I dont want managers to wait for a phone call from above to verify. They should use the same thing umpires use, their eyes, if they want to review something. And, a penalty has to implemented for delay of game if theyre wrong. Simple
@@ryankatz7707 do you not understand that every umpire could call it foul if they saw it? No need to ask because none of the other 3 called it when it happened
Been waiting on this one. What a wild game. I was hoping you’d address Miller calling the pitch timer violation on Hader for disengaging the rubber and the need for a rules check. Kind of clown on managers for “not knowing the rules” and suddenly they take 5 minutes to check on a very simple rule. Either way what a wild ending to a game. Either
He wasn't hit ,and wanted to bat. His run didn't matter to the outcome of the game with men on 1st and third already. While his HBP did advance a guy into scoring/winning position ,that tying run was most improtant
Curious that you mention the review of the HBP on Profar but conveniently ignore that both the on-field crew and the replay crew in NY completely blew an obvious call on that one, so obvious that even Profar was arguing that he *wasn't* hit.
@@logankline84 of course. Plus he, like every one else in the world aside from the HPU and the replay official, knew it clearly didn’t. And that’s giving the benefit of the doubt that the wrong call was simply incompetence, not malice.
Letting pure judgement calls be reviewed opens a can of worms like the PI reviews in NFL that lasted one season (or was it two?) It just makes the game worse. Was a batter pushed off a base, for example. There is no objective standard.
None of us have any idea what the umpires discussed when they huddled. I, for one, believe that if just one of them saw the ball hit Altuve's foot, it should be called a foul ball. And when I say that, he 100% saw it hit his foot. There are three of them out there with three different angles. When I was umpiring it was almost always a two person crew. We NEVER had a discussion after the play to find out if the base umpire saw a batted ball hit the batter. It was standard practice for our base umpires to kill the ball if they 100% saw the ball hit the batter whether it was a pitched ball or a batted ball. It was then left up to the plate umpire what to do after that. MLB seems so effing concerned about the optics if an umpire kills the play if he sees something like this. Get the God damned call correct, FFS.
@@rayray4192 You obviously must be blind since the replay clearly shows the ball his his foot, which is exactly why this type of play should be reviewable.
Seems like I remember that in the 1980s players would use black shoe polish on their shoes. They would check the ball for shoe polish on plays like this.
I remember in the playoffs a few years back they reviewed an unreviewable play. So the only thing stopping them from reviewing is the fact the umps have an ego and don’t want to be wrong.
That's not how it works. This was not called HBP, the only thing the replay center can do is confirm it was not HBP. You can't just challenge random things to make the entire play reviewable.
@brandon737 pass interference was but the league purposely sank it. Official admitted on Macafee show. Replay takes too much control away from the league

I think a fair ball should be able to called foul using replay. Obviously a foul ball in the box is foul and should be not be reviewable as that would be a crazy situation to try to place runners.
A very tough call for Brennan Miller to make. What should not be a tough call is sucking up your pride enough to consult your crew. Well done, Brennan. Not.
Everyone in the crew was entitled to make that call. None of them did which means none of them thought it hit him. no reason to get everyone together when you already know they agree with the call.
@@rayray4192 Ah, the oldest trick in the book: the ad hominem attack. Very convincing! In any case, suppose the first-base umpire thought it COULD have hit him. Is he going to kill the play then? Of course not. He would assume that Brennan has the better view. On consultation, they could absolutely decide that it must have hit him, even if none of them were certain enough to call it in real time.
The umps were so bad during this game you could make a dozen videos. How about one for the strike zone and another for Hader’s “pitch clock violation” in the 8th?
@@rayray4192 Skippy? Did you see the replay of the Profar HBP? It missed him. Yet, NY couldn't figure that out. Not often both teams get mad at the umpires for the same call.
It seems to me that the Umpires were wrong in their lack of a call, and you fail to highlight that. It’s the lack of review, arguing too long etc. Fortunately umpires are NEVER held accountable for their incompetence.
This is one that should be reviewable. If you have the replay anyway use it. this is one reason I hate replay and would never work a level with it. If you can't review something like this? waste of technology. still, when Jose took is sock and shoe off... to quote hawk Harrleson... He Gone!
Ask for help? From who? The closest umpire is 120 ft away and you can only see it from 5 fps slow-mo. It should be reviewable, I just don't like it when announcers say dumb things
ya know i grew up watchin' Mickey, Roger, Whitey, Carl, Phil, Yogi,etc.. that was a game called BaseBall,, i have NO idea what this "fuzzy kitten" IT managed stuff is,,other that a disgrace
There's no need for warnings for things that aren't hustle plays during the actual action of the game. This was just a bad choice and he deserves the ejection. Warnings would just increase how often people did stupid stuff that delay the game for no purpose. A slide tackle in soccer could have been a great play if it got all ball, but a tiny error in timing makes it not. A warning is great for that. There's no world where taking off your shoe is the right thing to do in this situation.
No need to get the crew together as most of us, if we are on the bases, have been trained to call time if we see a batted ball hit the batter without being asked by the PU. The PU knows he doesn’t need to get the crew together because any one of them would have killed it if they were sure it hit Altuve. Surprised Lindsey thinks it was unfortunate but there is the optic to deal with and maybe appeasing the manager by getting together would “look” better.
@@mptr1783 Lindsey says "it's unfortunate that they didn't" for this Altuve occurrence. It might be unfortunate due to the impression that the PU has got to get help but the PU knew that the help would have been forthcoming if any BU was certain of the contact. Does Lindsey think it's unfortunate due to the optics or does she not know the mechanic for a BU calling time for a batted ball hitting the batter?
@@jamesmurray3948 you’re arguing that the optics of getting the call objectively wrong are better than the optics of the HPU getting the crew together and saying “that’s a tough call for me, but I have a foul ball, anyone see anything different?” That’s a wholly ridiculous position.
@@mph7282 I'm not sure which position you say is ridiculous. If the crew got together your quote would not be what the PU would say. It would be "I know you all would have killed it if you saw it but I'm getting together to appease the manager, announcers and crowd. I'll turn around now and give the foul signal again."
Yeah I don't like you know the end of the results of the umpires leave it you know up to everything else of the game like you know eject Jose altuve I don't like that but you know what the injection was not right and I think they should suspend this umpire and definite and not just to spend him indefinite suspend him for the postseason you're suspended for the postseason indefinite and if you don't like that you can get the freaking out of baseball then.? @Thirdbase9
The entire crew needed to come together and discuss this. I blame the home plate umpire not for the missed call, but for failure to ask for help when he should have.
@@teamensa What do they need to get together on? Every one of them could have called it when it happened and none did. So they all agree. Getting together is superfluous. You only need to get together when it wasn't a call that someone was supposed to make but they may have information to contribute.
The hitter showed evidence of getting hit and the umpire got his feelings hurt for him doing so. It seems to me it was more important to the ump to stay the course than to get the call right.
He *should* be ridiculed over this. But, like usual, umpire's union and MLB don't want accountability for their umpires. They just want the Barney Fife umpires who love the power trips.
@@vincentwendt720 Sure, but Miller didn’t even bother talking with the other umps and I wasn’t just talking about this call. I’m talking about this entire game, the umpiring in general was awful.
I was at the Mets game when he was thrown out and made the comment that it was the loudest cheer the crowd gave at the time. Some trashros, I mean Astros fan, started bombing my comments 😂. Maybe next year, MLB will add these types of foul balls to be eligible for review.
In this specific situation, it’s actually bad to get the crew together… Here’s why…. Say an umpire does change the call after getting together… the other coach has an extremely valid point of, “well if he saw it hit his foot…why didn’t he call it right away??” That’s why they can’t get together. “Coach, if my crew would have saw it, they would have called it”.
@@AvidsForyou that’s a ridiculous argument. The HPU should get the crew together and try to get the call right. This happens regularly. It’s 100% the proper thing to do.
4 umpires on the field. These are 4 of the best 76 people on this planet who do what they do. 4 of them on the field, any of them can call it, none of them did. Ergo…fair ball and Altuve is out. Good call here.

Yes, Giants broadcasters are knowledgeable. Can be brutal to umpires but fair and knowledgeable
It seems to me that the Umpires were wrong in their lack of a call, and you fail to highlight that. It’s the lack of review, arguing too long etc. Fortunately umpires are NEVER held accountable for their incompetence.
The umpire needs to get demoted
This is one that should be reviewable. If you have the replay anyway use it. this is one reason I hate replay and would never work a level with it. If you can't review something like this? waste of technology. still, when Jose took is sock and shoe off... to quote hawk Harrleson... He Gone!
She just explained it can't reviewable it's in the rules
Ask for help? From who? The closest umpire is 120 ft away and you can only see it from 5 fps slow-mo. It should be reviewable, I just don't like it when announcers say dumb things
His wife doesn't like when he takes off his shirt but she's cool with him taking off his shoe and sock..
ya know i grew up watchin' Mickey, Roger, Whitey, Carl, Phil, Yogi,etc.. that was a game called BaseBall,, i have NO idea what this "fuzzy kitten" IT managed stuff is,,other that a disgrace
Umpire should be suspended and pay Altuve’s fine, not only for the sensitive ego-ejection, but for refusing to get help on this.
What you mean??? 😅😅😅
There was no help, Nancy.
@@Jevildury I mean what I said. It’s clear.
@@rayray4192 That’s my point.
@@DJTexan shit made no sense 😆😆😆 goofy comment shit blew my brain cells
maybe if altuve wasn't a known cheater he would get the benefit of the doubt
@@georgepappas7251 He isn't, and he does. This ump was terrible
Always think of this when Lindsay does an Altuve video: ua-cam.com/video/nWMp_z7Jnxw/v-deo.html
one of the worst crews doing it
This is why i am for a yellow and red card system some have been advocating for. This should be a warning
There's no need for warnings for things that aren't hustle plays during the actual action of the game. This was just a bad choice and he deserves the ejection. Warnings would just increase how often people did stupid stuff that delay the game for no purpose.
A slide tackle in soccer could have been a great play if it got all ball, but a tiny error in timing makes it not. A warning is great for that. There's no world where taking off your shoe is the right thing to do in this situation.
No need to get the crew together as most of us, if we are on the bases, have been trained to call time if we see a batted ball hit the batter without being asked by the PU. The PU knows he doesn’t need to get the crew together because any one of them would have killed it if they were sure it hit Altuve. Surprised Lindsey thinks it was unfortunate but there is the optic to deal with and maybe appeasing the manager by getting together would “look” better.
youre correct but possibly they got together to make sure they couldnt review the call.
@@mptr1783 Lindsey says "it's unfortunate that they didn't" for this Altuve occurrence. It might be unfortunate due to the impression that the PU has got to get help but the PU knew that the help would have been forthcoming if any BU was certain of the contact. Does Lindsey think it's unfortunate due to the optics or does she not know the mechanic for a BU calling time for a batted ball hitting the batter?
@@jamesmurray3948 you’re arguing that the optics of getting the call objectively wrong are better than the optics of the HPU getting the crew together and saying “that’s a tough call for me, but I have a foul ball, anyone see anything different?” That’s a wholly ridiculous position.
@@mph7282 I'm not sure which position you say is ridiculous. If the crew got together your quote would not be what the PU would say. It would be "I know you all would have killed it if you saw it but I'm getting together to appease the manager, announcers and crowd. I'll turn around now and give the foul signal again."
@@jamesmurray3948 your original position was ridiculous. This follow up of yours is even more so.
Yeah I don't like you know the end of the results of the umpires leave it you know up to everything else of the game like you know eject Jose altuve I don't like that but you know what the injection was not right and I think they should suspend this umpire and definite and not just to spend him indefinite suspend him for the postseason you're suspended for the postseason indefinite and if you don't like that you can get the freaking out of baseball then.? @Thirdbase9
This is a difficult call and it’s embarrassing how people can’t realize how hard it is to call it
The entire crew needed to come together and discuss this. I blame the home plate umpire not for the missed call, but for failure to ask for help when he should have.
@@teamensa I’m pretty sure they came together and still ruled it fair and an out
@@teamensa What do they need to get together on? Every one of them could have called it when it happened and none did. So they all agree. Getting together is superfluous. You only need to get together when it wasn't a call that someone was supposed to make but they may have information to contribute.
The hitter showed evidence of getting hit and the umpire got his feelings hurt for him doing so. It seems to me it was more important to the ump to stay the course than to get the call right.
I understand missing it but poor judgement by the home plate not calling all 4 umpires together. Poor decision & he missed it.
Zero sympathy. Move on.
They shouldn’t get together on this. If a base umpire has this off the foot they should call it foul live.
He *should* be ridiculed over this. But, like usual, umpire's union and MLB don't want accountability for their umpires. They just want the Barney Fife umpires who love the power trips.
Cheaters suck and so do the Astros
Karma is a wheel, Altuva.
Just like when anything bad happens to your favorite players. Karma wheel for them too. If you dont think so, then ofcourse because your a Hypocrite.
Some of the worst officiating I think I’ve ever seen.
The video just explained why the home plate umpire can't see this play. His view is blocked by the catcher.
@@vincentwendt720 Sure, but Miller didn’t even bother talking with the other umps and I wasn’t just talking about this call. I’m talking about this entire game, the umpiring in general was awful.
Why didn't he show his chest when he cheated?
I was at the Mets game when he was thrown out and made the comment that it was the loudest cheer the crowd gave at the time. Some trashros, I mean Astros fan, started bombing my comments 😂. Maybe next year, MLB will add these types of foul balls to be eligible for review.
Living rent free in all of the Hypothetical New York fans of both teams. Like Hader said last night, "Love living rent free"
A New Yorker thinking they have any sort of moral high ground over anyone, about anything, baseball or otherwise, is laughable
Good. The cheater shouldn't be trusted in any case.
In this specific situation, it’s actually bad to get the crew together… Here’s why….
Say an umpire does change the call after getting together… the other coach has an extremely valid point of, “well if he saw it hit his foot…why didn’t he call it right away??” That’s why they can’t get together. “Coach, if my crew would have saw it, they would have called it”.
Not. It was obvious to 99% of those on the field he fouled it off his foot. Umps together likely would have gotten the call right & saved him!
@@AvidsForyou that’s a ridiculous argument. The HPU should get the crew together and try to get the call right. This happens regularly. It’s 100% the proper thing to do.
4 umpires on the field. These are 4 of the best 76 people on this planet who do what they do. 4 of them on the field, any of them can call it, none of them did. Ergo…fair ball and Altuve is out. Good call here.
Cool, despite video evidence showing all four got it wrong, they got the call right. Why even have players?
@@Volante31921 Because that’s what the rules say. You want it called some other way, change the rule. Oh…and still waiting to see you get this call correct, though…
If you’re saying that it was a good call to not get the crew together because it would be bad optics to change the call, then yes. If you’re saying the call reflected what actually happened, then no.
Wrong call
@@Volante31921 the human eyes didnt see it. Video did see it. Dont blame the 4 humans , blame MLB for not allowing the 4 humans to use video on this play. Do you think the umpires dont want to get the call right? Give them every possible tool needed, but MLB doesnt allow it for this play for some dumb reason
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh
