“You don’t want players touching you, than you should not be touching players” THANK YOU🙏👏👏👏 the one logical commentator. Everyone else just blasts the players
@JET MECH No it's actually a fair question. Obviously we all know you can't touch an umpire, but if you expect not to be touched, then don't initiate contact with a player.
@JET MECH control the game, not touch a player. He can vocalize and have the managers of the teams put hands on the player. umpires have been fined/suspended for crossing the line before. Example is Brian Runge. Suspended for 1 game and fined for bumping then Mets manager. Dummy
i never realized how funny it was when brett lawrie just spiked his helmet directly at the umpire 😂 you know that dude had some serious anger issues cause of that
@@frankcastle9691 I don't know about roids, but Lawrie was always a hot head with a huge ego. He did mellow out a little after this incident and the 4 game suspension he served.
LoDuca operated mostly on steroids during his playing days. Can see it in his crazy eyes. He was one of the reasons that MLB has strict rules and suspensions for banned substances.
George Brett losing it was more than epic and anyone who saw it remembers it well. I think they need to give out an award named after George Brett given to the player that goes the furthest off the deep end each season. 🏆🤣
He kept pushing the manager (Valentine) into the ump. The unp knew what Rojas was doing. They weren’t going to be disciplined for pushing his teammate into the ump.
La russa is insane, its clear he doesn’t care about his players. Craps on mercedes for ballin in a blowout, pretends abreu didnt just get drilled upstairs and instead proceeds to go after the other team’s catcher, and now he wanna let tim anderson chew an ump out when the other 29 managers in baseball would have held their player back and stepped in to have words with the ump themselves. La russa is outdated man
The announcers in the Twins/Tigers clip are correct. Umpires cannot touch a player and then eject when a the player reciprocates. Also, it’s not like Magglio Ordoñez did it with malice. He was justified, and I forget if he appealed any fine and/or suspension but if he did, all of it should have been overturned and that umpire’s conduct investigated.
I'm right with anyone else that umpires can male some ludicrous calls. But umpires have a tough job too, and they are necessary to the whole process (until a.i. replaces them, but before it replaces the players), and professional athletes need to remember the professional part of the title
The first umpire literally looked like he was in the Matrix when Anderson very lightly brushed the bill of the cap with his helmet. Like.. this is Oscar Winning material here.
And the commentators with their always dramatic response of, “oh no, you can’t do that…”, like he just decked the guy. Or the other good one, “oh, he must have said the magic word…”. Like you can whatever, but oh my, not the “F” word, oh the humanity! 🙄
*tip of helmet barely touches umpires hat. Announcers- “oh my you cannot do that! I mean he just pulled a knife out of his pocket and started stabbing the home plate ump!”
In the rest of life it is considered assault and battery that leads to criminal record, but in MLB it is just a suspension and a fine. In other words, most of this simply is a result of players knowing that nothing really serious is going to happen to them.
I was six. My Dad and I were in the grocery store getting food for a BBQ , the game was on the speakers in the store when the chaos broke out lol. Couldn't wait to get home and see it on TV.
Every time a player fall in such disrespectful attitude should be fine , a high amount of money to make him think twice next time how to handle a complaint
Umpires are DESTROYING the game over an ENTITLED Mentality and these Sportscasters are acting like these Big Powerful Players are Abusing Umps that are acting like girls, WTH.
