Aaron Judge ejected for 1st time in his career after arguing a strike 3 call | MLB on ESPN 

If a player is protesting a call and walking away just let them, it's a different story if they are in your face arguing but come on now. These umps are destroying this game

Bro seeing this live in person was a different experience. Especially since I was part of the “umpire you suck chant” and the boos was something special.

As a 50+ fan of baseball, i never thought I'd ever say "the mlb would be better with robo umps".

All I saw from Judge was “are you kidding me, that’s bullshit bro” while walking away brutal. I’m a Mets fan but that shit was super weak. Best believe Jomboy is in the lab now

Can’t believe he got thrown out for practically nothing.

Yes, that's insane. Those people came to see 99 play and if you are going to eject him for the first time in his career, then it had to be grievous on his part which it wasn't. He was pointing out the reason he took the freaking pitch. Terrible.

ALL umpires need to be held accountable! THEY ARE RUINING THE GAME!!! I've been a diehard fan since the 70's and the missed Ball/Strike calls around the league is at an all-time high!!!

Around 0:06 I believe you can hear someone say "Come on blue, you've been doing this all day"

Jamboy voice coverage can’t wait hehe

You can clearly hear Judge say "That's bullshit. You've been shit all game." Right before he gets tossed. Yet another emotional toss by a soft ass ump. Judge was walking away and wasn't in your face or trying to escalate it. This should be a fun and easy breakdown for Jomboy

Sensitive umpires

Jomboy will have a field day with this one.

First he would have needed a 10-ft bat to reach that thing. Second, Judge isn't Bryce Harper and wasn't in this guy's face These umpires need to man up a little bit. Judge gave the umpire props after the game. He let everybody know this guy is a good guy and a good umpire he just didn't agree with this call. That shows the level of class judge has The umpire should be ashamed

The ump pulled the trigger too soon.... I have seen worse and stay. It isn't like he stood there in the box, holding the game up, arguing with the ump ... he simply articulated he believed it was a BS call while he was walking away... and he was correct, it was a ball.

What an awful call man, these umps are a joke!

Aaron Boone thinks the ejection is "horseshit", I'm sure

Guys, I was THERE for this game, and yeah, the empire was HORRIBLE. He actually called strikes on balls that HIT the plate, happened once or twice when I was watching.

Umpires are getting out of hand and abusing their authority. Just because a player vents out a call that is well wrong. They quickly want to toss out the player. 🤦🏻‍♂️ MLB need to look into changing that among the umpires. That is getting out of hand. Please baseball community speak up and let’s stand up with our players and team

Looked like a good pitch right in the corner, but throwing him out is a joke. Judge is a huge reason people are showing up, guy is great to watch, nevermind a very small comment.

Okay umpire, he was walking away not yelling right at your face!

You all realize the robot ump also calls this a strike... right? Thats what the solid white circle means on the pitch cast lol.

MLB umps are divas! How refreshing would it be to have one say “You’re right dude. That was way outside, My Bad”

When will these freaking umpires get some accountability. They can do anything they want no matter how wrong and nobody holds them accountable. This is why I hate the MLB

I don't know about you but I pay to attend or watch games to see the umpires.

Umpires need a media scrum after the game, just like the players and managers.

I get the call. Come on now u can’t reject a player for saying something that he didn’t agree on. He was walking away

When he sees the was a srtike waswqthe replay hes going to say i mess up that 😂

選手が抗議できるチャンスはあってもいいと思う。審判の個人的感情や抗議を受け付けないやり方はそろそろ終わりにしよう。時代に合わせVARを増やし無駄な退場やトラブルを減らしていくべき。どれだけの選手やチームが犠牲になれば気が済むんだ。

Rabbit ears. Umpires just LOOKING for something/anything to toss you. This game has become a complete joke. A huge dumpster fire 🔥

Of all the bad called strikes called on Judge, that was probably the worst one to argue about. Argue about the strikes that are below the knees or something.

It should be illegal for an umpire to eject a player who is walking away. Period.

I hope Blakney feels better about himself. Soft lil’ baby.

I think that mlb umpires do a very good job. That pitch caught the outer strike zone. Out of the four major sports.. baseball does however allow the least amount of dialogue between players and officials.

DID AARON JUDGE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE UMPIRE'S DEAD RELATIVE? THAT UMPIRE SHOULD NEVER UMPIRE ANOTHER GAME IN THE MLB. WHO DID HE PLACE HIS BETS ON?

I agree it was a strike but the umpire still cheated by throwing out a player for talking. Talking is legal in baseball.

That’s bullshit ??? Really. Wow I thought he might’ve said some real curse words or some racist words !

Judge handled this really well. He wasn't yelling and not physical. He was definitely mad, but did a good job of not going overboard

I can’t believe the ball actually caught the zone wtf

i got an idea why dont you give ump helmets a tech upgrade with a view of the strikezone , and they make their judgemnet of of that

He wasn’t arguing balls and strikes. He just said, “you’re bullshit.”

The ejection is brutal but thats a strike

Too close to take. A strike or ball would have been acceptable.

And what's worse is blue ejected him behind his back, not even to his face. That crap happens all the time in baseball, and it's disgusting.

Get an automated strike zone for goodness sake!!

Jeter never getting thrown out meant that Jeter wasn't doing his Captain's job.....

MLB needs to address these umps. For real, some of them are too petty and need to accept when their calls are critiqued. Like really? Get thick skin and continue umping the game.

Desde galarra edto albitro estan haciendo las cosas como ellos quieran sele ha dado demacieda Soltura

MLB HAS TO USE SOME AI TO MAKE CALLS MAN. DAMN, UMPIRES MUST BE REPLACED WITH AI MACHINES THAT DON'T MAKE MISTAKES

How hard is it to shut up, and sit down.

Umpires need to be held accountable for their bone headed ass calls. Shit is legitimately getting old

I'm a Yankees fan... and he's been playing so damn poorly lately that he has ZERO room to complain about a close pitch... that was over the plate. Maybe if he closed his stance a bit he could hit that pitch

How do they miss those frame jobs?

“Made a lot of enemies..” it’s the bottom of the 7th…they saw him swing a bat

Not a Yankees fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I agree with every single comment in this video, that’s ridiculous, he’s never had a beef with an umpire before, he’s very calm, so if he says something to the ump, I know it’s the rules that you can’t argue balls and strikes, but let him say his peace and just let him walk off

He went to the Angel Hernandez school of umpiring lol 😅😅

Ump really had nothing better to do with his life to eject Judge of all people

I mean the umps never adjust his strike zone it’s somehow the same as Altuve’s. Honestly I surprised he lasted this long, I would of lost it years ago

There won't be umps in a few years. Be all computer/AI , cameras.

In the NBA you'd get T'd up, in MLB you get to shower early.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm done with home plate umpires. They are ruining the game.

That ref won’t ref another yankee game again, knowing how much Aaron Judge brings in just revenue. I can promise he’s getting called into the office 😂😂

Say what you want, it’s actually on the strike zone 😂😂

These umpires are pathetic. Never thought I’d say this but bring the robo umpires.

The Automated Balls & Strikes (ABS) will solve these problems. It can't be in MLB soon enough.

Glad to see it. These players need to be held to a higher standard then they are. More umps should throw out disruptive players

IDK about you, but if I did something like that as an umpire and I saw a 6 foot 7, 300 pound guy with a bat coming back at me (yes, I know he's a big teddy bear and he has almost no temper at all), I'd be a little bit nervous lol. That was such garbage.

Throwing someone out while they’re walking away is the most pussy shit imaginable. It’s not how men talk to each other

Horrible call. Strike? Are you serious? You can't be serious? This guy could play tight end, win a Superbowl, then play center for the Knicks and win a ring. Look at him! He's a beast!

according to the 'box'...it was a strike...

They should make baseball like hockey, only just let them fight the umpires.😅

Sucks for the fans that paid good money to be there at the game and see one of the superstars get ejected for an umpires mistake.

Why is it always Vic carapazza he’s literally the softest ump in the game im surprise at games in Chicago he doensnt get blown away by the wind

I'm a Tigers fan and to me that's not worth an ejection. He said some stuff as he walked away he wasn't in his face or anything.

Umps/refs need to stfu and ignore the crap from players. People don’t spend the money on going to games or paying for cable to watch them, they spend money to see the players so deal with it.

MLB needs to pull back on the reins with some of these puffed up umpires!

Some of these umps need some training. That was out of the strike zone and wasn’t even close to a strike!

I was excited to see the changes baseball made thanks to the clock & base running but it wasn't enough to bring me back. Get rid of the umps & let's get 100% of calls right, & let's get pitching & batting balanced again & I'll see about returning. Until then Hockey is by far the best sport. There is always a winner. It's physical. Fights are allowed. Games are always close. You NEVER see a bad call by a ref. There is still old school respect in that game. Players have a hand shake line. It basically has the best of all sports in it. It's criminal it's not the #1 sport but it's probably for the best. If the money ever got big it would ruin what makes hockey so great because that's what ruined every other sport. PLEASE DON'T WATCH HOCKEY. I DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE.

Yeah He's Crushing One Next Game For Sure lol

I’m glad they threw in the view from behind too. Looks to be in the box. And who cares who came to see who, doesn’t mean he can mouth off to the umpire. Close calls like that shouldn’t be argued with. The Angel Hernandez nonsense should be.

Bring on the Robo Umpires. It’s getting ridiculous now to a point where they are over compensating to save their jobs.

Umpires today think the fans are there to see them. We aren't. Just like tossing Aaron Boone for something a fan said these umpires need to be reprimanded

Hold referees and umps accountable

It's almost time to introduce AI umpires.

This is a foundational problem with baseball. Umpires are allowed to be tyrants and the game needs to update this archaic design.

Must’ve insulted the ump’s mom.

I commented this before. I just don't get it. Im not an avid baseball fan, but Ive seen a bunch of the clips like this lately. Why do these incorrigible umps instantly toss out players and coaches, just for comments or showing a bit of frustration. I mean let it go, move on. I understand if they're getting in their faces and getting physical and just causing an all out scene, then, yeah, get them out of the game. But, just for being aggravated or disagreeing with a call. Most of the time the player is walking away, like shown here. Maybe they say something under their breath, who cares. Then the weak, thin skinned, egotistical ump throws them out. Because, why? God forbid somebody disagrees with their mistake or bad call and shows a bit if frustration and emotion.

Ump got jealous that Angel was hogging the spotlight.

Hey blue, get off your knees. You're blowing the game.

Idk who’s going to organize it but someone needs to organize a memo where we don’t watch any games for a week to protest this BS from the umps, and the league for allowing this, this is ridiculous.

The pitch was not even close to being borderline...way off the plate

Until you have been behind the plate and seen what a Major League pitch looks like and how quick of a decision you have to make then many of the comments made are out if line. I agree that there are many times when spectators and players react to what they think is a bad call. In the replay the ball paints the strike zone. The entire ball does not have to be inside the white box. If even a lace of the ball is in the white then it is a strike. I am a current umpire and we have the best angle in the house. If a catcher sets up outside and the pitcher throws a ball right at his chest everyone in the ballpark expects a strike. Unfortunately many times it's not because of where the catcher set up. Aaron in this case was rung up correctly and if in doubt foul it off to live another pitch.

Home plate umpires can rig a game. They can toss any player for questioning a pitch . It’s time to use the available technology to take away this unchallengeable power. With legalized gambling and the amount of money both wagered and spent on advertising by the gambling sites, you can’t have so much inconsistency behind the plate.

Umps just might have egos even more fragile than traffic cops.

Smh wow

It wasn’t that far off the plate. Judge might have taken a hack to protect himself on a borderline ball/strike. Good hitters normally get a called ball on that pitch because umpires give them a narrow strike zone. For everyone else it’s strike three.

I agree once again the umps have been terrible this year

That’s a tiny ego of an umpire right there.

We're not here to watch you blue!

1st of all. The ball was off the plate. 2nd. He was walking away. The officials in ALL sports are horrendous. It’s almost 2025 and we can see from our TV screens it was a ball but the game won’t apply the readily available technology to get this stuff right?

That umpire needs to go back to high school..
