MLB | Awful Moments 

LOL

HAHAHAHAH YOU RIGHT

Joe West needs to go.

He was challenging Bumgarner. He should be kick from games for starting fights with players. He intentionally makes bad calls against players he doesn't like

@@dalefortner2179 ___---you mean go to the Snack stand and Retire right!

Affirmative!

and although I hate to have to side with the whiny little bitch MadBum, he was right in the following clip. If Joe West has instructions or directions to pass on, do so. Otherwise you are a utilitarian part of the game, get back in position. The umpire never has any excuse to antagonize a player.

@@russellcurtis2501 i hate Bumgardner but you're 100% right. Joe West is a pos in general

At this point catchers are just fucking baby sitters to their pitchers

It's what they're supposed to do....but i agree, good instincts and no hesitation. Also kept himself from getting kicked, he toed the line well.

The Steve Mazagatti of Baseball

Any umpire that replaces them will miss calls too. Replays have shown how good the umps we have now are. We have the luxury of watching slow motion replay to make a call. All the umps in MLB are the best in the world. Quit your whining.

@@chiwawa130 There's a difference between the normal human error that you are referring to, and an almost comical number of blatantly missed calls by these umps I mentioned. If you haven't seen their track record, then you shut up, and go educate yourself. You don't like my opinion, don't read it. Simple as that. Bye

Kulpa (culpa?) too. He does not get enough flack.

@@chetthehoss just to back you up, Angel Hernandez had 5 mid-game challenges made to him in one game that resulted in 3 overturned calls. That’s beyond just simple error. He’s so notoriously bad that federal courts sided with MLB when they defended not promoting him by saying he performed poorly.

Surprised no one hasn't taken a shot at him yet, he gets right into the faces of players, so it would seem at some point one of them is going to lose it, and sock him one!

Lol before I even read any comments I put this up. Well color me shocked joe west's fat ass is all over this. Laughed my ass off when the first comment I was yours about him

He just needs to be out of the league, period. Surprised the Players Union hasn’t pushed for that.

@@jackson5116 a buddy got me a signed copy of country Joe's album. It's one of those gift exchanges with a lot of people trying to one up everyone with weird crappy gift. I asked him who he got to sign this, because his handwriting is unreadable. Joe west. Bullshit, but still funny. He tells me look under the CD. And its one of those convention pics with you standing behind the dude at a long table. This was a fing convention and that lunatic was charging. Everyone was was in shorts and t-shirts, so it wasn't near Chicago anytime recently. I forgot exactly where it was, but said it was in the spring about 3 hours from him. Drove six hours, actually paid for this and never said a word for half a year. I was torn between being wildly impressed, and wildly concerned about his mental health. Either way its easily the funniest thing I own.🤣🤣

Do you fine players for errors? For swings and misses? For baserunning mistakes? Why would umpires be considered such superior human beings that they're not allowed to make mistakes? (Joe West, on the other hand, behaves provocatively at times toward individual players and that definitely should be addressed.)

I of not seen any action taken against bad umpires. Have course, the players get punished in no time

Why the Players Union doesn’t push for that is beyond me.

Should have gotten their ass knocked out

You guys kill me, if you can do better go be a ump

@@russellbrooker2122 I mean we could do better lol do you see the calls that are blown. And why are you putting yourself in this conversation lol. Its been over for 2 weeks now your too late lmfao you really got butt hurt enough to comment on a 2 week old post lmfao

that's exactly how joe garagiola would have said it back in the 70's .

Lol so true.

True but I miss him now

As a hockey fan, Machado reminds me a lot of Brad Marchand. Extremely talented, but simply unable to stop themselves from being assholes.

@@debestcanadian That's a great and accurate way of putting it

Machado’s a piece of shit but leaving your foot on the bag is dangerous to the runner too. Specifically on that play, him leaving his foot on the bag was a dick move AND intentional. They both should have been tossed

@@keithhernandez48 what? Did you watch the play? Aguilars foot was half in the dirt. He was on the edge of the bag. Machado had at LEAST half the bag to work with. It was super clear that if he had picked up his foot in a normal running motion he wouldn’t have kicked Aguilar. You’re really trying to say that, with all the other bullshit crybaby stuff that machado has pulled, he didn’t do that intentionally?

1 year suspension. Fine the team at least $50 million and they should play with 24 players for a year. Does it again, lifetime ban and fine the team half a billion dollars.

I mean... that was just stupid. Turned an easy out into a double.

@@hostrauer exactly

He threw a ball in the stand at one time got sued by the fan he hit and I am reds fan he was away out of line in both cases

@@faceones 😳 wow

@@faceones lmao source on him being sued? From my understanding he went to the fan and apologized to her and gave all her students signed photos

🤣🤣🤣

*Yo momma priceless.*

@@ColbyePresents Just ordered my premium laugh. Should be here in 5-10 business days.

Classic AB😂

AB is the best

To be fair, he is bigger than George and he also had a bat……

1) Gerry Davis, not Jerry West. Jerry West was a basketball player. 2) Shawn Kelley, not Joe Kelly. Joe Kelly has never played for the Yankees.

Josh Garland Well thank you for not being a jerk while correcting me

That respect should cut both ways, players, trainers, managers, umpires, all professionals and should treat each other as such. The umpires shouldn’t be playing games with players like Joe West was, they should do their job using clear and concise communication, no showboating or staring players down, just umpire.

@@vernonbear LOL, you must be a cop-hater, too.

@@markmalasics8413 wait what. Umps have been short fused for years and overall have been a problem. They act like everyone wants to watch them and not the players.There has been bad cops in recent years but it can’t be compared to the amount of bad umps there are. If you complain about something to a cop, 99% act as professional as possible. If you complain to an ump it’s not rare to be warned or even liked out. You can not compare the two, it doesn’t work like that.

@@supervision4137 lol @ you thinking cops act professional

@@britishcig5462 aaaawww that's cute, you learned your first words 🥰

They’re not really being held back. They’ve literally never fought. It’s assault. On camera. Legal charges. Jail time.

@@DepthFromAbove but players fight each other sometimes, that's why umpires can get rowdy and egg a player on all they want because they are protected

Umpires / refs making bad calls is part of sports -- and must be tolerated. Ever see a schoolyard pick-up game where most of the time guys are screaming and arguing? No fun. Umps are a plus.

@@newyorkslim2001 there's mistakes, then there's West and Hernandez 😂 both should have been fired years ago. Hell if I did my job as bad as they did there's, I'd be fired

Players get real courageous when they are athletes in the prime of their lives mouthing off to a 50 year old umpire. Those guys that posture like that are nothing but bullies.

Hes been better since landing in San Diego at least

You do? I never did.

I literally never forget that about that on fire bag of dog shit

I might forget about him briefly . Especially during off season. Then stuff like this happens.

No we don’t ever forget...

Judging by his reaction you'd think the pitches were above his head smh

I thought so, too.

Both borderline. That first one looked high and outside to me. Second pitch was for sure a strike. He was still salty about the first pitch 😅

Either way Def wasnt worth the reaction lol

Yea but they were both really close

nah seinfeld got it right, if you are going to ump you should be the most out of shape guy on the field. they should be allowed to eat on the field.

Really, I thought that was a requirement for umpires... lol

Yea? Whats your reasoning there Einstein?

@@WES_5150 A really overweight umpire dropped dead on the field once. Maybe so that doesn't happen again? His name was John McSherry

I thought that was a prerequisite

If that pitch missed the plate it wasn't more than half an inch. The computers used in the Atlantic League to call balls and strikes are missing a bunch pitches. The computer will not always get the call correct.

Shit no two umpires call the check swing the same way

Publicly accountable for what? LMFAO - The day a MLB player or any other pro athlete is ever held accountable there will be many players in prison for their felony crimes on the field.

And that should be the end of pro sports.

Good call Jonah.

oh i absolutely LOVE it when umps get hurt! how hard do you think it'd be for pitchers to start intentionally hitting umps with pitches? umpires are ruining the game.

🙏🏾

No, nobody should get punched in the face over a game

Yeah, that will be really good for the game. Idiot.

It was. Only a part of the ball has to cross the plate

bruh he literally chest buffed him are you blind

@@benjlar1902 that's a chest buff? That's the most gently aggressive thing I've ever seen anyone do.

Brett got shafted though.

@@blkbushirishwhiskey The league later revised the call: From Wikipedia: "The Royals protested the game, and American League president Lee MacPhail upheld the protest, reasoning that the bat should have been excluded from future use, but the home run should not have been nullified. Amid much controversy, the game was resumed on August 18, 1983, from the point of Brett's home run, and ended with a Royals win."

Joe West absolutely deserved it. One of his best moments

@@thunderbolt2478 We know it is popular to hate Joe West, but that wasn't him getting hit with the helmet.

He seemed to act like it was on purpose too which always makes me laugh.

@@CrippledMerc On purpose or not, throwing your helmet in response to an umpire's call is grounds for ejection.

@@alanhess9306 I’m not saying it isn’t

yea, yea bruh... uh huh huh huh huh.... bruh... whos this, Dog the Bounty Hunter bruh? duuuuuuuuh, astonishing

@@WES_5150 you mad?

Ruined Pedey's career. FUCK Manny Machado.

One day the other players aren't going to be able to hold a player back.

Its called being a bigger man

@@cagethelonewolf "bigger" is true for most umps, but not in the way you meant

@@tylerlackey1175 no the player should be the bigger man and not errput don't give the dude sadfaction of tossing you

@@cagethelonewolf if an official gains satisfaction from throwing a player, they should not be an official. These umps look like they're better fit for hotdog eating competitions anyway

Yeah, the ump blew that call twice. Pathetic...

Look up Delmon young throws bat at umpire. It might have been his brother. But either way a bat was TOSSED. Not literally thrown but he strikes out then he leaves camera view, then you see a bat come flying at ump. I think it was in the minors so not a great video but still classic

Ooh. Good reason to kick a player out of baseball permanently. Or, make the player an umpire, and pay him for his BS. Seems appropriate

@@pamelacass9642 it's happened. Wasn't on the ump but a player at bat, kicked the catcher and went running after the pitcher.. it was very entertaining but.. also dumb. Like there goes whatever career you had left. It's somewhere on youtube still.

I can throw as many baseballs as I want at a bird, I'd have to be spot on to hit it. I am much more likely to squish a bird with a bat.

@@austinmeyers247 Well birds fly away quicker than batters in the box (except for the Randy Johnson bird).

KC won the game the next day...

​@@mattjacobs4365You mean a different game?

You would think Joe West would love Buehrle.

@@jasondyrkacz8270 why's that?

To be fair zimmer did charge at Martinez

@@apples7568 true

@@apples7568 and outweighed him by 50%. Pedro is a LITTLE guy.

My main argument in terms of computerized balls and strikes is Joe West.

Ron Kulpa is worse than Angel Hernandez. And that’s saying something.

That smirk is definitely a silent goading. He knows what he's doing.

Women

@@tylerlackey1175 he meant in his day not our days

Damn how’d you see that lol

I went to the comments because I knew someone was going to say that 😂

It was kinda obvious the next pitch would be on the same spot, taking advantage of the umpire bad sight.

It’s called hardball for a reason.. Either make the play, or dont.. I don’t care if your leg gets mangled..

@@jacobjones5269 Somebody got cut from his little league team...

@@horm Lol.. You guys make me laugh, you’re libertarian about everything, except sports… Where you turn to jello.. Smh.. That’s as backwards as it gets..

@@jacobjones5269 You're definitely the sort of dude to cry about athletes sticking to sports and you're trying to make this a political issue? I don't know who hurt you, but I hope things get better.

@@horm I’m not trying to make anything political.. I believe in between the lines the game should be played without remorse.. Not wussified for the masses.. Same thing when QBs roll outside the pocket and ground the football.. I don’t think the NFL needs a loophole to the intentional grounding rule, so they can legally ground the ball.. I believe that if a QB doesn’t want to take a sack, or get his leg mangled, THEN HE SHOUOD HAND THE BALL TO A RUNNING BACK!.. THATS football.. And if you don’t want guys sliding late into 2nd base, then hit them in the forehead with the ball on the next relay to first.. They’ll stop sliding late, trust me.. That’s baseball..

@Bob S has to do with whether the play would be reasonably made by an infielder under normal effort (no diving, full speed backpedaling, etc). If it is more reasonable for the outfield to make the play then infield fly rule is not in effect regardless of who ends up playing the ball.

This has to be true. Otherwise they must be blind

Incidents with umpires are handled internally.

@@mileshortman5163 so, no... a player gets thrown out/ suspended/ fined for their actions but umps answer to each other... appreciate the response

@@bullast2046 Kind of like cops for the most part.

@@meaninglesscog no not close

Yeah, if I can tell him where to put it.

same hah

they have (had) a timer for pitchers, why not for batters?

What ?

@@tempsitch5632 Guy in the green shirt by the green pistachios sign…taking some batting practice with his water bottle

@@JimWhitakerMusic Ah. Thank you.

@Blxx simple solution, remove every official that is over the age of 60, then you have to deal with angel and that is it.

Not interference, obstruction.

100%

That’s exactly what I was thinking watching the clip, seeing the players knock an ump out sometimes would be so satisfying😭

They're guys that couldn't hack it as players.
