Cardinals Willson Contreras Breaks Bat, Yells at Ump From Dugout and Gets Ejected 

W

and Dan Iassogna has the right to eject Contreras for chirping after being issued an equipment violation . . . learn the rules of the game, what is ejectable and what isnt

Do not rely on the graphic box on the screen. It is often inaccurate and often incorrectly shows where the ball was caught instead of where it was when it crossed the plate.

I mean Contreras was doing way too much.. Contreras was wrong entirely the first call.. and he was right the second time... If its close protect... Doing way to much

​@@ADM-wt9cnhe's in the dugout. Let him yell. None of it affects the game on the field at that point.

@@blakethornsbrough1528 I mean he literally just snapped his bat right next to the umps foot... I get it let him chirp, but Contreras couldve been easily tossed at that and the ump gave him another shot... You had your tantrum contreas now move on already. I cant stand when the umps do too much or takeover the game. But not seeing it here in this case... But what do i know?!

@@ADM-wt9cn if you're going to toss him for snapping the bat then do it then. Don't have your sensitive ears perked up for any sounds coming out of the dugout.

@@blakethornsbrough1528 Agree to disagree

What? He didn't get ejected for breaking the bat.

2. Both called strikes were low. Very low. He was expanding and swung at a pitch he definitely lays off without having 2 strikes on him already. 100% on the umpire and his thin skin not letting him be in the dugout. He's off the field. Are these umpires going to start throwing fans out that complain about their missed calls?

@@blakethornsbrough1528 this isn’t anything new. Chirping from the dugout over balls and strikes has always been a good way to get ejected.

That man is one of the best catchers in MLB you should be playing this game even in the video games to check your number to see who you really are... btw Yadier was the one to bring him into the Cardinals. Big mouth😎

Nah. Ball was WELL below the zone. No need for umps anymore, bring out the automated zones.

@@seanharris8419 if they do that then who's going to call the calls at home plate when a runners coming in? Umpires will always be around

@@jesuscage Have a umpire near home...?

@@jesuscage Let me rephrase. There’s no need for the umpires to be making the calls themselves. They only need to relay the information.

@@seanharris8419 Do not rely on the graphic box on the screen. It is often inaccurate and often incorrectly shows where the ball was caught instead of where it was when it crossed the plate.

First off, everything that happened, stemmed off that one pitch in Contreras' first plate appearance, that actually was a strike. Second - The umpire has been calling the low strike. Umpires (just like the players themselves) can't be perfect 100% of the time. I mean take Contreras for example. He's kind of a hypocrite for getting pissed at the umpire for missing the low strike call....when Contreras was wrong about the strike call in his first PA. Third - Umpire called the exact same pitch a strike both times. I understand a Ball is a Ball, and a Strike is a Strike....but until we get robot umpires, we use human umpires. All players can ask for, is for an umpire to be consistent. Which this umpire was in this case. Fourth - I could understand Contreras getting pissed after his strikeout, IF he had chased a ball in the dirt. I play ball, and I hate when a Ball is called a Strike (for example, low, like in this video)... then the pitcher throws an even lower pitch that is clearly a Ball, but I swing at it because the umpire has been calling low strikes....... in THAT case, it is quite irritating and I can understand a player getting extra upset. But Conteras chased a ball high and out of the strike zone.

@@billyfraiser6298 both low pitches were not even close and you are wong Card pitcher was not getting that call. you need to know your facts before you comment. first inside pitch that was a. strike reverts back to previous inning where virtually the same pitch was called a ball……if that is the way you want to frame things

yeah ok. Wake up from your world of delusion

@@mwconservative Have you ever called balls and strikes? Do not rely on the graphic box on the screen. It is often inaccurate and often incorrectly shows where the ball was caught instead of where it was when it crossed the plate.

@@alanhess9306 yes, I have called them and attempted to hit them for 20 years.

It all goes away next year. Technology has finally found baseball.

They don’t call the game, they influence it.

get a clue. the complaint was the two pitches that were both low, out of the strike zone by 5-6 inches. umpires get upset with you question their obvious mistakes.

Yeah, That's not why he's upset mate. It's the other balls called strikes. Kinda obvious.

@gary @concerned citizen. He’s not talking about the two pitches in the next at bat. He’s talking about his first at bat where a batter can still find fault in a pitch that was called correctly (3rd pitch of the 1st ab, Contreras did show body language where he showed disagreement with the call) Even if there were robot umps, a batter would still complain on same exact pitch. He’s just talking about robot umps in regards to the first ab and nothing else.

@@Harcorwrestler and that’s not why he was ejected. he was ejected because the umpire missed two pitches that were not even close. pitches that the cardinal pitcher was not getting. he complained ump decided to make the game about him and ejected him….even though he could not possibly see who was yelling from the dugout. so many ejections come after umpires have blown a call.

@@mwconservative read my comment again. You completely missed what I said and didn’t understand. I’m not talking about why the umpire ejected him. I’m just talking about robot umps and nothing related to the ejection. This comment section started by only talking about robot umps and nothing related to the ejection and you guys made it into thinking he’s talking about the ejection, which he is clearly not talking about the ejection. Peace.

Yadi used to break bats all the time

Yeah, I agree. I side with the umpire in this case. Here's my reasoning: First off, everything that happened, stemmed off that one pitch in Contreras' first plate appearance, that actually was a strike. Second - The umpire has been calling the low strike. Umpires (just like the players themselves) can't be perfect 100% of the time. I mean take Contreras for example.

Um, what??? LMFAO, you win the moronic response of the week, congrats!! LMFAO

You need to look up Wilson's stats bc you clearly don't know what your talking about

no, the damned players need to grow up and quit being such a bunch of babies- they sound like nascar, crying about everything

Idk about every one. An ump had a perfect game last year behind the plate - nailed every single ball and strike

He didn't though, Contreras was keeping the ump from doing his job.

If you paid 80 dollars for nosebleed seats, I'd have more of an issue with your decision making and the scalper that sold you those tickets

@Moki Finance then they’re both crybabies.

Lol those were by his ankles. "Just outside the zone" my ass

In no world is William Contreras a "crybaby"

@@JobiWan144 Exaggeration doesn't help your argument. Do not rely on the graphic box on the screen. It is often inaccurate and often incorrectly shows where the ball was caught instead of where it was when it crossed the plate.

@@alanhess9306 OK, so on another viewing months later, the low pitches are about halfway down his shins, but not quite "by his ankles." They're still significantly lower than the bottoms of his kneecaps and therefore clearly balls

I mean, if you're hindering the ump from doing his job, you should be ejected. He didn't eject when he broke his bat, he ejected when he wouldn't stop yelling.

​@@randomstuff508 So yelling from the dugout effects the umpire more than thousands of screaming fans? 🤔

ump was right here though
