Umpire thinks the catcher embarrassed him and ejects him, a breakdown 

ump thought he got embarrassed so he decided to embarrass himself 1000 times worse lmao.

"I was wrong. I didn't understand the situation and over-reacted. No one is tossed. Let's play ball" Said no umpire ever.

Most hilarious part of this is that J.T. is quite possibly the most respectful player in the entire MLB... so funny!

That might be the most calm reaction to being thrown out that I've seen in my life lol. Guy's probably like eh it's spring training I'll take the extra time off.

There absolutely has to be some kind of system of checks and balances to prevent these power trips

That’s the look of an umpire’s face when he knows he’s going to get a breakdown by Jomboy 😂

I love how when the ball hits the ground next to the catcher he looks at it like what heck where did that come from. Then he hears ump say your gone. He was like so confused 😂.

This umpire signed his own ticket to remain a Little League umpire for the rest of his career!

Now he really is embarrassed lmao Edit: that's nuts he played 2000 games with no ejections just to get ejected this way.

The look on that umps face when he realized he'll never get called up to ump MLB again is priceless.

The fact that the Ump was "not availible" after the game for questions and then they stood up for him as well is a problem. Realmuto handled this way better than anyone else would have. I'm surprised no one on the Phillies didn't say something to the Ump like this is why you'll be stuck in the Minors again, for petty calls like that!

Been watching baseball since 1956. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a player laughing after being tossed! Hysterical situation!

The face of a man who knows he's stuck in AAA for the rest of his career.

I like how Realmuto was completely cool and collected that whole exchange. Really highlights how dumb the ejection was. I would’ve laughed in his face

The fact that this was spring training puts into an even crazier stratosphere of insanity.

Kimbrels like that instigator kid who does something and Realmuto's like the kid who laughs and gets in trouble with the teacher.

This guy just killed any chance of going to the majors

It's pretty ironic that he made the call on Kimbrell for not delivering the ball fast enough, then created this situation by not delivering the ball fast enough.

And now, rather then starting in the MLB today, he's in Louisville calling single A games, right where he belongs. GO PHILS!!

Good, more Umpire involvement, just what the fans have been asking for.

Why is the league so quick to make rule changes "for the betterment of the sport and fan's overall enjoyment" yet refuse to make umps accountable for being atrociously bad egomaniacs. Better umpires definitely fall into the fan enjoyment category.

Just once, I'd like to see an umpire realize their mistake and change their decision. This seemed like one of those opportunities.

This is an Angel Approved Ejection.

I can't even imagine how Billy Martin or Earl Weaver would have responded to their catcher getting thrown out for this.

I love the face at the end. He was like. "Oops. Now everyone is going to remember me for this" Which is true. He could have an amazing career after this but everyone will remember him for the time he got his feelings hurt so he ejected the man who has never been ejected.

This is even more embarrassing for the ump than I first thought. I love the breakdown. Great stuff.

Every time I want a good laugh, I come back to this video. It never fails to crack me up. Severely. 😉

2:32 "Welp. I don't know" is so good. Love these quick breakdowns

"Look out for your catchers. They protect you." First bit of advice I ever heard for being an umpire.

I'm glad I only watch these types of short videos on sports. I haven't seen a full game and won't ever again. It's already been 8 years.

JT is true class. I'm a Met fan with a lot of respect and regret that we didn't sign him!!!

Realmuto seems to me to be one of the most chill, composed, and least confrontational guys in the sport. The truly embarrassing act was the umpire throwing him out for such a ludicrous reason.

Such fragile egos on these umps.

I want this guy to dub all my shows every actor replaced with his voice cus it is absolutely spot on 😂

Love that moments like these are what make baseball bearable to watch

Ump wasting more time than the pitch clock

Umpires need to have media availability if shit like this is gonna happen. They have a hard job and most of them do it very well. Everyone’s gonna miss calls, but this is the kind of incident baseball shouldn’t let umpires hide from. Big props to Jomboy. In his own way he holds these guys accountable by exposing them to the fans. Not all heroes wear capes.

"Welp... I dunno." 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for brightening my day

What a good way to make sure that you are actually embarrassed. This umpire has a lot to learn about humility.

I like how they implemented a pitch clock to get the game going faster but then spend 5 minutes throwing a catcher out of the game for a simple miscommunication.

Great lip reading. I had seen this clip a few times but the captions on the lip reading added more to it

Thanks for this so well done

That smirk was the moment he realized he put himself into the baseball hall of shame forever.

This is why J.T. Realmuto is my favorite MLB player. He is so even tempered. I think he was saying to himself (with that smile on his face) "I can't wait to see this breakdown on Jomboy tonight!"

Love how even I can read the Umps lips when addressing the manager directly. "Welp. I don't know. Okay." lol

Everyone feels the way Realmuto did at that moment whenever they go into work and for one reason or another, unexpectedly find out they have the day off and are able to go home. He saw it as a gift.

That ump really exudes the "no man will embarrass me unless that man is me!" energy.

This is a breakdown I actually needed. I saw the ejection but wasn’t sure why. I thought it was because Realmuto was arguing that the violation shouldn’t have happened. This is just plain ridiculous. Ump just guaranteed he ain’t getting called up to the show.

MLB needs to take action on this- even a preseason game. This is embarrassing for the game

The ump learned that, if you think someone is trying to make you look like a fool, you might be that someone.

100% Thank you for this !!!! 🤘🤘

Great use of the pitch clock to speed the game up.

That was crazy. The umpire proves he’s not ready for prime time.

This is absolutely WILD. Did the ump know who this guy was? Like JT is the kind of guy you could punch in the face and he would sit you down to politely ask why you did that.

This guy just killed any chance of going to the majors. You can't be that insecure in that job.

excellent narration

I don't watch baseball but I love these breakdowns just for to see all the drama but I have a question... Can a ump take a decision back. Like in this situation if he had realized he was wrong could he say wait my bad and let the catcher stay in the game?

The ump can tell his grandchildren about the time he threw out a totally calm and hinged MLB player. 😮

Over 2000 games without being ejected, tossed because he moved his glove and the ump dropped the ball on the ground. Yeah, that was a good way to make sure you spend another season in AAA there, chief. Edit: apparently it's less than 2000 games. But regardless, he said it was the first time in his career which is still impressive.

"you think you can embarrass me more than i can embarrass me? Hold my ball..."

Very good video, thanks for sharing 🙂

JT Realmuto comes off so likable. Just smiled and didn't even argue Class act

It says so much about JT’s character that he doesn’t even get angry with the guy here. If it was me I would have been like “well, I wasn’t trying to embarrass you but I’m going to now”.

Absolute best breakdown on RU-vid...

I think I saw that ump at the local little league game behind the plate over the summer!

ump probably spent 10+ years moving through the ranks to finally get the chance to ump in the big leagues and fucks it up over the goofiest move ive ever seen

Had me laughing my a..off. Love the vocals added

Let’s go to replay. Ump, YOU’RE OUTTA HERE AND YOUR F-ING MIND!!!

I’ll say it again, make umps/refs do a post game interview! Would love to hear his explanation to the media

Just the fact that he can’t say, no no I made a mistake he’s definitely not thrown out, is insane. And the fact that the MLB nor the umpire says anything to the media is a complete joke.

You embarrassed me. Hold my beer 🍺...🤣🤣🤣

Had a similar call playing soccer. Never had a card at all in my career. This one cup game we were playing with a ref who seemed to like giving cards, there was already like 5 yellows and 2 reds for a game that wasn’t even very aggressive. In extra time I go for a bicycle kick to clear the ball out of our half (and realistically end the game) yet one of the other teams players decided to dive out of the way for some reason. I didn’t even touch him and the ref decided to straight red me. Everyone was booing the ref and the coaches even went to talk to him as it was so ridiculous and my club after the game made a big stink about it as it was so ridiculous. The ref was so embarrassed and didn’t want to accept fault on the bad call that in the report he greatly exaggerated the events and said I went to kick the player in the head. He proposed the league give me a 10 game suspension and everyone including me was appalled. Ended up going to the league hearing and even the league said they believe me as I had a flawless track record but since it was basically minor leagues and they didn’t film the match they had to take the refs word but best they could do was reduce the suspension to 5 games. That ref ended up getting fired like a month later but still that’s the only card on my record 😂

I love JT's face when the ball goes rolling by him. He's like "....why are you down there?"

That last visual of the ump is him realizing he just cost himself any chance at the MLB. Hilarious. We don't need more clowns like this anyways.

You are very excellent at reading lips. Love your videos

So how exactly did that pitch clock save time in this scenario?

As a cricket fan I can't believe how much power umpires have in baseball. It's ridiculous. These guys are there to keep things fair between the two sides, not to boss everyone around and be total tyrants!

"Oh my bad dude, sorry, no, you aren't ejected man, I just thought you were being a jerk is all, we were both lost, my bad, haha" - any normal person

That’s crazy the umpire can’t stop thinking about himself

[0:01] What in the bloody hell is that pitcher doing??

It'll be a long time before this guy ever works a major league game again, so I hope he's feeling happy about what he accomplished.

Realmuto: *drops glove due to a misunderstanding* Ump: "AND I took that personally!"

How can I keep this clean… I CAN’T This pitch clock BS, bigger bases all of these rule changes to speed up the game ARE THE BIGGEST GARBAGE THAT MLB HAS EVER CAME UP WITH!!!!!!! You want a fast game go watch hockey or lacrosse and leave our game alone! I don’t hear anyone complaining about how SLOW football or soccer is and those two sports make baseball look like formula 1 racing. I’ve been a baseball fan my entire life, I HAVE NOW STARTED A PERSONAL BOYCOTT I am refusing to watch, listen to or buy anything MLB related until these rules are removed. As for your video Jomboy, excellent work keep up the great work. It really shows how the pitch clock is destroying the game, ‘cause we can’t blame umpires for it all.

There should be a rule in all sport that if a ref makes a call that clearly makes no sense towards the way the game was played or how the players acted, then the ref or ump can be ejected. It should only be allowed once per game otherwise people would be doing it every other minute

Instead of a background check, there needs to be some way to do an ego check when hiring these empires.

The announcers during the Angels and Dodgers last night mentioned an umpire had a ridiculous meltdown during this game. Now I know what they were talking about. Yep, absolutely ridiculous!

Umpire felt like he was in a Harlem Globetrotters bit 😂

J.T. walking away like welp, early day at the office. Probably gonna text Blue after the game and ask if he wants to get a beer 😂

Holy shit. That is literally the quickest hook I've ever seen. I feel so bad for the minor leaguers that have to put up with this soft little guy.

This has to be THE WILDEST ejection ever. It's crazy how the catcher got tossed for nothing. I still in disbelief that the ump was so quick to get rid of him

Long ago HOF ump Bill Klem used to hate the nickname "Catfish" and would toss players just for addressing him as that. Rookie players were sometimes told by veterans that he loved the nickname and would get tossed just for saying it. 😂

Would love to see the interview with the player and ump after the game

The worst part is he (the ump) didn't have to speak to the media after the game. I would have liked to hear him take questions and explain himself.

i love the effort you guys put into reading lips giving us what they are actually saying, it makes it much better

This whole episode started with a time wasting call. Ump proceeds to waste an exorbitant amount of time over ego. I love baseball!

Imagine this umpire in game 7 of the World Series. It will never happen so you have to imagine. He would eject from the game a stray squirrel that came onto the field. Then argue with the squirrel.

Let's go Jomboy. Excited for the breakdowns this season.

I’m a lifelong baseball player and fan and I’ve always thought in certain situations coaches can ask the umpires to confer about ejections or really blown calls. Now we have instant replay for blown calls but not for something like this. Something’s gotta change

The limp shoulders of disappointment from the ump is pure comedy. 😂
