Ejections 111-112 - Tim Anderson Tossed Contacts Umpire Nick Mahrley After Strike 1, La Russa Exists 

The ball barely touched the strike zone. That shouldn't have been a strike. If the ball doesn't get 100% of the strike zone, it should be a ball then. When you go buy a slice of pizza, would you still pay them if they left off the crust? No right.

@@junofranco6638 unfortunately the rules have been the same forever. Touches the strike zone it’s a strike. Does he want different rules just for him? He’s proven he’s a hot head. Hope he gets a good suspension.

Can't wait until they get rid of umpires calling balls and strikes. Anderson was out of line but I've had enough of all of this. No matter how bad the call you're not allowed to argue balls and strikes yet there's no accountability for umpires like angel hernandez. Btw that was a strike to Anderson

@@junofranco6638 If you play tennis, all it has to do is touch the line to be in. Now with the machine that determines out or in, the shadow of the ball is basically in. Nothing's perfect in this life, except One. He made it all, except sin. I had an old pastor who said, follow Jesus, He don't get lost. I don't got no good English, either, but God looks at the heart.

agreed umpires be quick to throw a player out but this one gave him a ton of chances to get back in the box

Whatchu talkin bout Willis???

Well said

Good one 😂🤣😂

bingo

So what are umpires

Tim Anderson is racist against white people for real.

He’s a pathetic excuse of a baseball player. Man compares himself to Jackie but then plays the race card when other people call him that. Plays for a shit team that will never amount to anything anyway

Not long. Prob will blame Donaldson today.

Just hope he doesn't pull the race card. There's a time and place for it, but this would not be either of them.

@@kb8978 victim card = race card to a specific group of people It's just a more subliminal way of getting your point across without getting called out for being racist saying race card. Any time there's a situation like this in baseball, the turds come out and pretend like a "vitcim/race card" is even going to happen. These people WANT that so they can post on the internet, and assert a false sense of moral superiority.

He also never dropped the bat

@@blankname6629 it’s not like he’s gonna swing the bat at the umpire and get himself banned lol

@@aaronaguilar9172 people have said that right before someone did something like that. That’s usually how that goes down. He won’t swing the bat 2 seconds pass bat is swung.

Exactly so. People say that MLB umpires should have thicker skins, and while I'll agree that MLB is definitely different from college/high school/little league, this sort of behavioral example feeds down into those lower levels, and is helping contribute to shortages of officials at those lower levels because it makes people not want to officiate. It's not just a baseball problem either - it's happening with almost every sport, all over the US and outside of it as well.

Agreed. Let's actually penalize this garbage behavior.

But hole up....what you mean both of them lol

@@CoachOlsson Player and coach.

Nope. Trying to intimidate people smaller than you is always crappy too.

but he is jackie robinson

Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!

@Kim Ward…accusing some one of false racism should tell you he has no shame. Or conscience. Or decent morals

@FireCrew 57 learn ball. That was a borderline call that nicked the zone. Nicking the zone is still a strike

@FireCrew 57 not even close? I think you might need glasses

@FireCrew 57 its was a racist ball instigated by the Trumps to belittle and shame the black man of color aflete

@FireCrew 57 wah wah and if MBL had any balls they'd fire all white umps, or allow only Tim Anderson to make the last call on pitches

Tim Anderson is a cancer for the White Sox. He has a piss poor attitude and is always the victim. The dude may have talent, but he can take that attitude and go play somewhere else. Take that baby mode up to the northside. LOL

Anderson is not a smart guy.

😂

you can't feel a video title zoomer

@@hucz is your mission to be hurt by YT comments?

@@shethjrebbell I’m not even Gen Z.

So "La Russa [or 'LaRussa'] Exists" is not a typo?

Yeah thanks Jackie this is what you paved way for

Race ain't got nothing to do with it I am a black person myself People's race don't matter if I don't trust people I don't trust no matter the race of that person every person of race is capable of doing anything bad even to there own people so stop the stereotyping nonsense

@@MFRP87024 reed my comment below

@@marcelorlandoking7606 what dude? Lol

We know he's a repeat offender now. This is something MLB will consider when reviewing this.

Yep. Three games and a fine. He got what he deserved.

Umpire needs to show class. He baits Anderson and ejects him for only saying “no it’s not”. Then he acts like a little drama queen pointing at himself. I’m actually surprised the commentators defended the umpire.

@@DJTexan Umpires always point when a player makes contact with them. Makes it easier for the league to see upon review.

@@DJTexan Anderson knows that this is an ejectable offense. You can't refuse to get back in the box because you want to argue the strike zone. In fact, arguing balls and strikes is the most common way players get ejected. It's not Tim's first day playing this sport. He's also fully aware that making contact with an umpire results in a fine and/or suspension. The umpire did his job and did it well. It's not easy to keep one's composure when someone is berating you directly in your face, especially when it's unwarranted.

@@DJTexan did we watch the same video? He got butthurt over the first strike in the at bat? Dudes ego is soft.

@@300hiker maybe now they do but they shouldn’t. It just makes them look stupid. Bad umpires will try to make excuses for the league to fine players. Sooner or later every umpire will point at themselves when nothing really happened just to get back at manager. It’s better to just confront the manager verbally about it and stick up for yourself. The league will decide what needs to be enforced. They don’t need your “assistance”. Just make an honest report. It’s harder to fake a report than saying you were “contacted”. Reports have the manager partners and you. That’s all the evidence the league needs. Don’t point at yourself like a drama queen.

😂😂😂🤣

How about going to the eye doctor and getting some glasses

@@greatone275 Why? It was a strike.

@@Ant0417 look, if you watched the game you would understand but since you didn't ill explain all game long he called that high/inside pitch a ball now I've heard players say they all they want is for umps to be is CONSTANT no matter how bad they feel the calls are because they will adjust he blew it because that pitch had been a called ball all game long

@@greatone275 wah wah wah we want the umps to be consistent wah so what if the ball was a fucken strike the ump was inconsistent wah wah all the players said so the ump was all over the place with Tim wah every pitch was all over the field with Tim , all ONE of them

So repeat offender, that will now be 6 games.

Needs to be 6 absolute minimum

You're right on everything but it wasent a strike

@@vincentvega3747 it’s a borderline pitch it can go either way.

you were right about everything but the pitch being a strike🤣 that’s it a ball

It's sometimes a racial thing. Some of these umpires are big guys but he picks the white guy that is not that big. One of these days it will happen and black boy bb player will hit the white umpire. You will see it.

No, @@idaildiago9862. Garrett Mitchell //is// 100% correct about that call as well. • And so was the umpire in the moment that he made the call. • And it's all documented with extreme accuracy by the TrackMan. • And that is shown on replay at 3:35. The ball touches the top of the zone. It's a strike all day long. Some people, even though they're absolutely wrong, just can't NOT say something. You are that type of person.

He'll get at least 1 game maybe more. Stupid move on his part. He's too important to lose him.

Wow, that's a lot of qualifiers.

Who cares what the count it was horrible call

@@greatone275 good call or bad call, no reason for Anderson to lose his temper. His at-bat wasn't and he could have gotten a hit instead of getting himself ejected

@@greatone275 It was literally inside the strike zone box you blockhead

Damn right. Judge’s strikes at the knees kill me. He’s fuckin 6’7! As bonne would say

That pitch was a strike ump was right

@@tokenblack7983 Boone also defends him at every turn. Larussa is usually asleep

Honestly I have never seen a player get worse calls than judge.im65.and it's not fair the horrible low strikes on that gentle classy giant

@@blankname6629 he’s does. I like Boone

Jackie had too much class than to argue balls & strikes.

Jackie was in no position to argue balls and strikes. Imagine if he did in that era. Jackie did and was told to take a lot of shit and take the peaceful approach instead of fighting back.

he needs as many second chances, as many strikes as he feels he needs...

Yep, he should be made to attend anger management classes as part of his reinstatement. Josh Donaldson believes the accuser of false racism should have to do that also

Just read that Anderson got suspended 3 games for the contact he made with the umpire.

@@Ironman875 for lightly tapping his hat with his helmet

​@@undercovergamer2063 contact is contact. la Russo out there lying but protecting his player. saying the ump was moving forward (he wasn't). Nick touched him with his helmet

You can voice your disagreement. You just have to be respectful about it. You see players to do it all the time.

@@undercovergamer2063 Doesn’t matter, you can’t get in an umps face like that. He made contact, he crossed the line.

As he should, escalating consequence for a repeat offender

He should be banned. Clean the game up from thugs like him.

6 minimum

Sadly, only 3 again

@@billkiessel6682 Thanks for the update, I didn't know that. He should have got at least 4. He will probably appeal and have a day taken off.

whitey made my visor longer than regulations yo

Not only a strike, an 0-1 pitch. He had the rest of the at-bat, and he blew it.

Watch out, you'll be called racist

J.V. Have A Seat Karen 💯

Just saw your a racist it ok

and that’s why umps are soft. If homie popped him in his jaw, then he’d get fine & prob charges put on em. Umps are saved by the league fyi

@@jgardner4984 come back and rewrite this when your sober 🤣

What a ridiculous comment. I can't defend that his helmet caught him in the hat, but people need to stop acting like he assaulted somebody. Seen plenty of guys whip their helmet or bat that could've potentially hit somebody else before they were ejected, it happens in the heat of the moment. Some of these umpires think they are the ones who put the butts in the seats.

@@UrlacherBears54 I don't care, I think he has a bad attitude & he comes off as a jerk to me sometimes.

@@desmondmcdade4934 He's never had a teammate say a bad word about him, he's incredible in the community, and he's one of the best natural hitters in baseball. I don't care if he rubs you the wrong way.

@@UrlacherBears54 Guess what? He's not my teammate so I don't give a damn.

@@desmondmcdade4934 Guess what? You're not his teammate so he doesn't give a damn.

Different FX this time. Like the variety.

That and the ball crosses the plate right below the X on the Sox on his jersey. If anything the box is a little low. Tim should have blasted that ball into the bleachers instead of staring at it a like a dumbass.

And people wouldn’t argue it

I hope you're joking

A trip to a mental health professional should be part of the suspension. That guy is entirely too full of himself.

The 3 games is BS. Now if he had hit the ump with his bat, well 3 games seems about right.

@@marcvivori1561 It's not just about this offense. He's a repeat offender.

The "clean house" starts with Reinsdorf

@@GregProbst this is true

This Jerry had the same problem as the Dallas Jerry. Loyal to a fault, even when he shouldn't be. But he gets better players than the Cowboys. That's the only difference I know of.

It’s call loving the game something you people don’t seem to understand

Gonna be hard to top Bryce Harper and LeBron James, but Tim's making his way up there.

Ya. Do. Not. Touch. An. Umpire. Also, alllll that over STRIKE 1??!!!

It’s not like this is the first time he has overreacted

You can’t argue balls and strikes, and it was the first pitch of the AB. At this point he has a LOT of maturing to do.

We don't know what Tim said to the ump. Or maybe the ump knew the rule about questioning a pitch call, and was having a bad day. Or he knew it was a strike. I've seen other players do what Anderson did in complaining about a pitch call and continue the AB. But It happened, get over it, and play ball. He deserved the suspension. His batting helmet bill accidently hit the ump's cap or maybe forehead. So stand a foot further away. Pointing a finger in someone's face is inexcusable in this situation. He must have watched a lot of old time baseball when the managers got in the ump's face many times like that, but these times are different, he should know that.

@@michaelalbertson7457 We are in complete agreement. I wasn’t suggesting he shouldn’t have been ejected. He deserved the ejection and should be facing a multi-game suspension for making contact with the umpire - it was totally uncalled for but I just thought the umpire’s reaction made it appear much worse than it was.

Joe Girardi is available and would win with the White Sox

Amazing how such dysfunction has transpired under LaRussa! Who could have possibly foreseen such a thing?

@@closethockeyfan5284 well when you hired a guy days after discovering he was arrested for DUI while telling the cop “I’m a Hall of Famer.” You can expect poor decision making and moments of entitlement.

@@DLoki157 Yes, I was being sarcastic

You can't get that close. Managers have been able to historically and I don't think they should be unpenalized either but players??? Definitely needs a suspension.

I hear you but Tim is a 29 year old man who should have more self control.

@@CoachOlsson Larussa failed big time

He also needs some anger management classes.

Tim Anderson is a spoiled brat! He blames everyone but himself, escalates things where most players know better and loves to get under other players skin. When are we going to stop being afraid of calling him what he is. I trying to find a polite word for bitch... But it's escaping me.
