18:27--He's obviously not mic'd up for every game, so I can take comfort in imagining that every time Mattingly gets ejected, as he walks away he mutters, "I still like him better than Steinbrenner."
Well an Umpire has to have a serious bug up his ass to throw out someone who said his peace and then walked away without another word. Umpires seriously need to grow some thicker skin. Players are gonna chirp, criticism is expected. An Umpires word is not God.

The announcer: “Obviously not arguing the third strike because that looked like a pretty good pitch” The pitch in question: about two inches from hitting home plate
3:30 Why is it every announcer thinks that having your back to the umpire somehow makes you immune to ejection? And, to answer the idiotic "How do you hear it?" question: because he was saying it loudly enough to be heard. Do we have to explain how sound works to these guys?
@heath gallagher In four years (about 300 games or so) I've never tossed anybody, but the closest I came was a guy who was bitching his entire way back to the dugout after being rung up on a pitch that was in the low zone. He didn't look at me, but he was definitely talking to me. If his coach hadn't told him to shut up and sit down, I'd have run him. You don't have to be talking directly to the ump to do something worth getting thrown out of the game.
Traditionally they are correct unless of course you are arguing balls and strikes or you use the the Magic “C” word that will get you tossed no matter what!
@@oldmanballer5088 Ok, I need another hint on the C word. Does it rhyme with sockplucker? I always thought "[equine feces]" was when you got into the danger zone.
I hate to disagree with everyone but in the very first clip that ball hit the ground first, when you have a TV like mine it is 12 K, 85” and runs at 244 Hz. You can see things other people can’t see and it definitely bounced off the ground and into his glove.
They should be able to argue balls and strikes without getting thrown out of the game unless they do it twice or more because some of these strike calls are horrible like when did below the knees become a strike
When new york sees the people on the field disagree with their decision and start yelling at the umpires who arent at fault once it goes to replay review i wonder if they feel bad
If it’s too close to take, you swing at it. I admit some umpires make very iffy strike calls, however, a lot of players are spoiled brats these days. Ted Barrett said in Tech talk that a ball can be slightly off the plate and it’s a rulebook strike.
I don't care how good or bad the calls were, or how bad the ump was getting berated. You don't eject 3 or more players, all on one team, over the damn strike zone. You're directly impacting the game from behind the plate at that point, and everyone in the damn stadium is going to be looking at you. No one came to see you umpire.
Joe Simpson the braves color guy and former player knows you don’t do what Ramirez did . You want to throw at someone you hit them from the ribs down. I would’ve like to hear him say it was wrong but the Homer announcer in him just couldn’t so it
and Will Little is probably the worst. He's the guy that threw Marcus Stroman out for nothing, Russell Martin out for saying "What just happened" and John Gibbons for being a stand up manager. Is there a way to demote Umpires, like put them into the minor leagues? Will Little and Angel Hernandez need that.
Oh Hell Yeah On 36:02 Joe West Ejects Joe Maddon My Favorite Ejection Joe West I Call Him Big Country Buffet Because He's Waiting On A Big Country Buffet 🍳🥞🧇🥓☕🥩🍗🍖🌭🍔🍟🍕🥪🥧🧁🍰🎂🍩🍪.

31:42 "Why is he throwing him out??" Well, lessee here... the score is 10-0, Rangers, and the Mariners pitcher just drilled a Rangers player *PROBABLY* because the Rangers are losing as badly as they are. Yet, the guys in the booth are wondering why the pitcher's getting thrown out. Hmmmmmmm...
Not only was the game being blown out, but Caminero's stats belie the intent. His control wasn't too bad (approximately 63% of his pitches were strikes over his career) and he had hit a total of 7 batters up until that point...and Andrus was the only batter he hit in the entirety of his 2016 season. Hell, the count was in Andrus' favor (at 3-1)...
I don’t know why Cabrera and Martinez were arguing about, the strike zone box showed they were strikes. Any part of the ball that touches the rectangle is a strike
They are really fighting over where they are eating after the game....one guy says Chinese the other says Italian and they shout back and forth over this then walk away agreeing to have Sushi.
Unless my lip-reading skills are rusty, Anderson does say something towards Franco just before he puts the hand up towards the plate umpire...it almost looks like "F*** you." You can see him looking towards either the dugout or Franco, mouths the comment, then turns his head slightly right towards the approaching ump.
If you don’t know it by now , The Umpires controls who wins the game . That’s why your not allowed to argue balls and strikes . Maybe we do need AI umpires .
Seems like this sport is stuck in the Victorian era!! How can one person’s (umpire) judgement call games, plays, balls and strikes.... every sport in the world is now digitised and it would solve the problem... bot umpires... they don’t make biased calls!! Wtf is mlb doing???
Joe West was and is a complete Joke…Joe and Angel made a mockery of baseball for years…Angel is still doing it…NO ACCOUNTABILITY…THEY NEED TO BE FIRED…PERIOD
@@ric929 So they have been cheating the past 5 years eh? We have clear proof the democrats cheated. The astros just got caught doing what every other team has been caught doing. No more no less. Boo, hoo. They are better than your team. Deal with it.
I swear these guys complain about as much as my wife does. And usually it's for stupid stuff that isn't that important anyway. These guys will complain if somebody's shoe isn't tied the right way. Man!
most of these strikes ive seen called are strikes, do these people not know where their own knee level is? my god so many ejections for no reason especially if an ump has been calling those strikes all game i mean come on you gotta adjust 🤷🏽♂️
That last play was 100% so far to the right wasn't even funny and the Umpire so f***** up it's not even funny what is he on drugs can he sees it that was not in the strike zone
Why doesn't somebody call out these damn catchers????????????????? They catch a low BALL, and then raise their glove up fast so the umpire sees a strike instead of what it's SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Announcers frustrate me on so many occasions! Very rare they support the officials or correctly explain things. They tend to incite and spread misinformation.
Each player that argues with a strike call should be fined $1,000.00 and the money would go to St. Jude's or other charities that provides for sick children. Managers will be fined $1,500.00 find to be used for charity. Ejections would be reduced by 75% or more.
