Too many of todays umps are making a case for the dreaded robot umpire because they can't tell the strike zone from the ozone. MLB is to blame because they don't seem to give a damn about umpires not being trained well enough to make the right calls and to not act like prima-donna crybabies when a flagrantly bad call is questioned. The commissioner would be within his rights to step in but he's too busy helping to ruin the game in other ways. (see robot ump; pitch clock; PitchCom; changing the size of the bases; full season interleague play for 2023 ("everybody plays everybody"); Expanded playoffs; eliminating waiver trades after the trade deadline...etc.). Professional baseball got along just fine for over 150 years before all this twisting and bending the game virtually out of recognition in the name of developing a "modern," 21st century product that's 100% free of cheating that can be played in no more than 2-and-a-half hours.
I have heard Reds announcer Marty Brennaman say the umpire's union is this most powerful union on earth and there is never any discipline for them because of it.
Under the rules in the MLB you can not argue balls and strikes. If anyone (player or manager or coach) argues balls and strikes it is grounds for immediate ejection.
Umpires need to learn that there are competitive players out there trying to do their job, and adrenaline can kick in sometimes. Umpires need to be way more lenient with the ejections.
I totally disagree. You cannot argue balls, and strikes. That’s in the rulebook. I just don’t understand why players and managers and coaches continue to push and press the issue.
@@elpllc7541 Because it's a terrible rule and should be removed. If you think the Umpire got the call wrong, you should be allowed to say something about it. Their word is not God.
Most ejections are warranted, but some are not. Baseball already does suspensions for certain ejections and if you are for that then you better be for umpires getting suspended for being bad and cursing and abusing players. It goes both ways. Too bad the MLB doesn't treat it that way and rather than suspending umpires that deserve it they just give those umpires and their crews less important games with teams at the bottom of the standings.
What? You're out of your gord. When a grown man can't even disagree with another grown man's judgement, where are we? I've never seen a pitcher eject an umpire. Maybe they ought to put that option on the table.
Most of these were warranted. Ump made a correct call and the pitcher was bitching about it and had probably been bitching before so they got tossed. The Lackey one was terrible though.

I will never understand why, in the 21st Century, we insist on having home plate umps still... Seems like all they do is fuck up calls and throw people out for hurting their feelings... I would have home plate umped by a computer, and just have base umps still.
that's happening in a year or two, but it may not be much better. I do think that there's a good compromise for it though, since you can give home plate umps a device that shows the official strike zone. they make the call, and allows the human aspect to work with replays and all that
Is the ump tantrum needed while making the ejection?
That first pitch from Kazmir looked like a strike to me..

Hallelujah brother.
You'd hope these umps would have some type of review. But I doubt it.
They do get performance reviews, but not much comes of it. At worst it influences who gets to Umpire the World Series.
I have heard Reds announcer Marty Brennaman say the umpire's union is this most powerful union on earth and there is never any discipline for them because of it.
The manager needs to pull the team off the field in protest for the blind umpires.
Can't wait to see Stroman getting G Coles as teammate's
Umpires get away with way too much
No way. Disagree
@BeyondtheRailz Umpires get away with too much and rarely, if ever, get fired because of the union. Just like law enforcement.
When is a retiring player gonna respond with an action that's gonna make one of these corrupt umps rethink their ignorance and stupidity...
What the heck is going on with umpires? What I watched here was uncalled for!

They're soft wussies these days!
they’re narcissist snowflakes who think we go to games to see them

Umpires have such fragile egos.... I cant imagine being that insecure with the work you do, that you have to throw out anyone who objects to you.
Poor umpires.. they catch shit because they suck and their feelings can’t take it.. dear MLB, we have the technology.. we don’t need umpires anymore
Umpires need to learn that there are competitive players out there trying to do their job, and adrenaline can kick in sometimes. Umpires need to be way more lenient with the ejections.
An umpire changing their call because a player or manager decided to run their mouth has never happened in the history of baseball.

These umpires💀
Get robots these umpires are a desgrace, you should be able to give them 1punch in the head
90% of these were egotistical umpires
Some of these umpires must think that people payed money to watch THEM.
Arguing does equal you’re gone
Wonder how many of those umps have bets on the opposing teams lol
I think a lot of these were the correct call
白井もこういうの見て憧れてるんかな？
haha alot of bad framing aswell
👍
Hey everyone! Keep your mouth shut. How many times and how many years do we have to go through the same thing?you can’t argue, balls, and strikes
You can’t tell me that rule isn’t 💩 when the tech is there to be more accurate
You've obviously never played ball in your life. Hahaha
The umpires are taking tremendous abuse from the players. Baseball needs to suspend players for cursing and abusing the umpires.

If you don't put yourself in the situation to be ejected, you wouldn't be ejected...
Some of these are forced or natural upset reactions.
You must be an umpire 😭
