Ejection 128 - AJ Hinch Tossed for Arguing Replay Review Decision Upholding Jerry Layne's Safe Call 

He thought he already had it. Of course hindsight is 20/20. Relax. How are you hating on him as a cubs fan

Just don't give him the thumbs down... or he'll give it right back!

Bruh I'm thanking Baez. Dude got us the best CF prospect we've seen in years. Fleece job by Jed.

@@Chafe3 I love Baez as a Cubs fan, however he screwed up royally here. Anyone will tell you that you play first and argue you second. As a MLB player Baez has to know that. But even the best are not immune from doing really stupid things. I’ll never forget when he got caught in a rundown between first and home and the pirates failed to retire him at first which would have stopped the run from scoring. That was Baez 1 Pittsburgh 0

@@kenconnelly773 I still love to watch Jomboy's breakdown of that incident. It never gets old. And Jomboy made that breakdown and posted it less than an hour after it happened. Last I knew, the Pirates released that 1B and he was playing in Korea.

So that excuses his disregarding the rules and questioning the replay decision?

@@garygemmell3488 No he was tossed but he didn't lose it with the on field officials.

@@umpireva5440 I'm glad we agree. No, he was not abusive and, yes, he needed to be tossed, by rule. My only qualm is they face no other punishment for being ejected for questioning replay. They should be sanctioned further for this type of ejection. I used to have a quick trigger when I first started officiating. About a third of the way thru a 3k run of officiated games over a 15 year period I began to consider a discretionary ejection to be a failure on my part. My whole outlook on handling arguments changed after that.

Nope, he didn't lose his cool but that's an automatic for arguing the review.

Managers make mistakes.

@@rayray4192 I know they make mistakes. If you know you're going to ejected about arguing a replay call, why argue when the game wasn't over yet.

@@caras2004 post game ejections are rare. Almost all ejections happen before the game is over.

I think it's not going to be definitive, but they can use multiple angles synchronized to determine different components together.

Can’t tell

after hand was on bag

After hand was on bag

He got the arm, I agree, but I'm not convinced it was before he got the bag. It's REAL close, and I'd lean 60/40 to out, but that's not enough to overturn.

Time code that shows it conclusive enough to overturn the call.

I thought there is a fine for every ejection? Or a dock in pay

Well put.

Managers will always argue. You'll never get away from it as it's an integral part of the game. IMHO

@@BIOHAZARDRUSGaming There is, but it is so inconsequential as to be meaningless. Otherwise, these managers would not be arguing stupid stuff.

@@tracycc123 I have no problem with managers arguing over things they have always argued about. However, the players, coaching staffs, and owners wanted replay. Not all of them, to be sure, but a majority of them. All of the owners listened and gave them what they wanted. They owners just can't institute something like this unilaterally, mind you. They needed the players to agree. Well, they got it put in along with a clear provision that the replay decision could NOT be challenged or agued with under punishment of automatic ejection. The players, managers, and coaches have made a mockery of the replay system by still arguing the result when they AGREED not to. Remember, they AGREED to the way the system was instituted. The need to man the hell up and stand by their agreement or be punished above and beyond for acting like spoiled brats.

You are right. Slide feet first straight into second base. Fastest way to the base. This was a terrible slIde.

Fundamentals are not trending in mlb.. dumb slide/flashy tag

@@totallykoolyeah I think he deserved to be out just for that slide

@@LarrySkylines maybe robots will be the doing the base running as well ha

@@totallykoolyeah and self driving bullpen cars. We’re on to something here

Sometimes you cannot get the best possible position but Layne was in a good position to see the play.

But not clearly tagged

I think most of the time, and especially in this case. They're just getting frustration out, gotta imagine this has been a hard season for Hinch, and sometimes it just boils over

@@iangish8336 That's nice... but just to make yourself look better, go into the clubhouse and yell at the wall... you're yelling at something just as involved, and the wall can't eject you... not to mention your fans can't see you yelling at people who didn't make the call you're complaining about...

@@ronpeacock9939 I mean first of all, Hinch didn't really yell in this case, the umpires 100% only ejected him because they had to by rule. Second of all, I think that fans who don't like their manager getting ejected are a very small minority

They might not have all the equipment that New York has at every ballpark. New York can paste together different camera angles to get the call right on one screen who knows how much it would cost to get the equipment that New York has installed at every park. Just my thoughts on how that would be difficult.

@@63076topher TV networks can paste together the different camera angles, and already do it.

Ump crews already carry an extra ump in case of injury. I agree--that ump should definitely handle any challenged calls.

@@rickl.461 They can't do everything they can in New York with the videos. You want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars raising ticket prices to cover the equipment they need to put in each ballpark instead of just letting it happen how the OWNERS want it to in New York. It takes more than a umpire it takes technology staff ect to operate the equipment and do exactly what the umpires want to piece together camera angles freeze at a certain point and advance it forward slow enough to get what they want to see. They don't do it like new york who can put two or more cameras together at the same time on the same screen. Like this call here how at 1:20 we can not see every part of the bag as the front SUDE is not visible they could take that angle and the angle from the camera that was showing the front of the bag look at them on the same screen pieced together and should be able to tell on most calls if there is enough evidence to OVERTURN the call on the field.

@@rickl.461 do they??? Because lately it's been an umpire needing to leave the field and one umpire leaves immediately to put on the gear to get the game going as fast as possible.

as the tag was made his hand was on the plate.. it was safe ez

@@-SkyCat- At 1:20 Abreu might just have his fingertips on it, but he doesn't grab it until a split second later. Which is when he obviously looks like he's on the bag. Baez should have kept a glove on him.

@@ktpinnacle The fingertips are part of the hand.

@@63076topher Which is what I said in so many words.

Problem is you can not see if his hand has touched the base on the front side because of this camera angle the umpire is looking right where he needs to to get the call right. His hand DOES NOT have to touch the TOP of the base any part will do.

typical bootlicking baseball fan

why did you edit your comment than?

@@critter2 I edited it to get it right. What’s not to understand. Do you want me to draw you a map?

Why?

Look, Ma! A Tigers fan!

@@garygemmell3488 this comment makes no sense lol. Seems obvious he was tagged before abreu reached. The whole replay system is flawrd

At what timestamp can you see clear and convincing evidence? I went through at 1/4 speed and I certainly can't. I'm 60/40 it's out, but there is no angle showing clear and convincing, or even a combination of them.

@@vonskyme9133 1:20 is extremely clear to me. Also let’s say it’s a 60/40 safe call. That should be overturned. That’s the problem with replay. There shouldn’t be “clear and convincing” there should be people in New York who don’t know the original call. 9 people vote on safe or out. And manority wins

@@chaoticcollision3903 1:20 is nowhere near clear, as it's not possible to say when the hand touches the base from that angle.

... that's not why he was thrown out. I don't even know how you come to the conclusion that was why. He was thrown out for discussing it with the umpires, although I don't know what he said.

@@vonskyme9133 Watch the clip again, pay attention, he gets the hook while on the mound. THEN,,, THEN, he walks over to tell them he was discussing it with his infield while is pitcher was on his way in.

They should hire out of shape RU-vid commenters like yourself instead?

He was in it. He can see EVERYTHING at 1:20 where we can not see the side of the bag on the front. You only need to touch ANY PART of the bag not the top.

Uhh, the call was definitely correct. I'm sure you're not fat, nor old, nor in worse shape than an average MLB umpire.
