Ryan Howard Gets Ejected, Roy Oswalt Comes in to Play Left Field 

Werth's reaction at 1:35 says it all.

No... it doesn't

@@jesuscage pretty sure rob was agreeing with ya there bud

Ehh it was borderline, those calls go either way. Howard was mad at himself for biting on that low and away shit like he always did. Scott Barry is a clown.

1st swing was a check, 2nd was not even that close but it wouldn't have mattered because the ump would have made the call either way based on the idiotic way he reacted to howard on the 1st blown call. main reason that to this day i don't understand how a check swing is not reviewable when its one of the easiest things to review. these base umps just guess 90% of the time on a check swing, hell they can barely call fair or foul right. the games too fast for them.

I say late 80s & 90s were some of the best times for baseball

@@genesis11am definitely not the 90s if you were a phillies fan

@@skippythealien9627 I'm an A's fan. So yea u can see why I loved late 80s & 90s lol

Absolutely right! The umpire lost his objectivity and deliberately tried to provoke Howard. The moment he mocked the player by putting his hands on his hips, the umpire was wrong. The dirty look he was giving the batter was unprofessional. I don't know how it went down afterwards, but the ump should have at least had a formal reprimand placed on his record (which would kill his chances of getting a postseason gig). He also should have been fined by the league. Scott Barry clearly lacked the temperament to be a major league umpire.

Yeah Scott Barry is now a full-fledged Major League umpire. I still don't have a lot of respect for him but I'm sure well he certainly seems took me a bit immaturity since that game. He showed genuine concern for his fellow umpires really genuine concern There's a video somewhere. The main thing is accountability with umpires We don't see a lot of that these days not accountable themselves in the league does not even tell them if they've been fined or not and I hope that Scott Barry was fined for this.

Back when the Phillies still had their mojo

That’s Philadelphia for you

Real fans

Those years were insane. Skip to 2020 and now there would be about 500 people left in the stadium. 2020 will be the year baseball died for good.

@@1223LCMwe’re back with our mojo… i think

Only in baseball

Man it some not that many pitchers that can swing a decent bat with some pop up to perhaps college I can't say nowdays a player pitcher would start the game at first base bat cleanup pitch the last ending and start the next day.Hey that's hard ball unlike football and basketball come /go once you leave the game that's it your night over I've infielders pitch when all the pitcher been used a major league manager have some tough decisions at times ,that ump got just what he wanted an excuse to send Howard to the showers.

yeah the big piece would’ve hurt that man😂

Severely disciplined. Ever hear of Bill Hohn or Marty Foster

WannabeWRX agreed. U can tell Scott Barry wanted the spotlight and he made sure he got it. Happens too often

Bad call by the 3rd base umpire. Howard didn't break the plane from that side angle.

This aged well. 4 months later they're in the world series.

MartinMadrazo arguing a check swing and see if he went around or not

He was ejected because he threw his equipment. That's an automatic ejection.

@@lcusatis no it actually isn't automatic he was giving the ump shit prior

Has it always been like that? I quit watchin baseball years ago just about when mark McGuire and sosa were trading homers but i dont remember if being that touchy back then but i may be wrong

Howard was ejected when he questioned the 3rd base ump on the Strike three call, then he threw his equipment.

tore his achilles in the playoffs, was never the same after

Lol like they stated, they were only concerned because it was the 14th inning and they we’re literally out of players. Otheriwse they’d only be bashing yeh ump.
