From season 7 episode 4, "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" Sisko gets himself ejected from the game. He also accuses Odo of "regenerating" (:D) after Worf has apparently struck out.
He was right, haha. "*4.06 Unsportsmanlike Conduct* (a) No manager, player, substitute, coach, trainer or batboy shall at any time, whether from the bench, the coach’s box or on the playing field, or elsewhere: (1) Incite, or try to incite, by word or sign a demonstration by spectators; (2) Use language which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon opposing players, an umpire, or any spectator; (3) Call “Time,” or employ any other word or phrase or commit any act while the ball is alive and in play for the obvious purpose of trying to make the pitcher commit a balk. (4) Make intentional contact with the umpire in any manner."
This is so amazing. From Worf's agitated "reverse the call!" to Sisko accusing Odo of "regenerating" to Odo having memorized the rules and acting like the most stereotypical umpire possible, every note is perfect.
The best part is him acting as stereotypical as possible makes perfect sense in-character and in-universe. The only reference material he had to work with WAS stereotypes.
...you're both correct, yet, both are technically within the rules, as obscence language is a judgement call by the ump. Touching the ump, in any way, however, is an immediate ejection. It's Odo, he's going to follow the rules to the letter.
@@Rob-hv5zq depends where they played, it could have been cold as f**k but seems hot because everyone is dressed light, acting like its warm and the sky is clear.
My favourite part of the episode was Odo getting super into being the umpire. He enjoys it way more than if he’d actually been one of the players and it’s great. And also “DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION”
@@traviskopplinger3515 yeah but Robert House has nothing but time on his hands. Dude's just a crunchy pile of bones in a chamber. Odo, on the other hand, has an entire station full of rowdy lawbreakers to attend to. Plus, there's a war on!
Not just that, but he had to play left-handed (he's right-handed) in order to play badly enough. Otherwise he would just look like a pro trying to play badly.
Worf's reaction to a call not going his way is why Klingons don't play baseball. The players would get into brutal fights to the death every time things didn't go their way or god forbid, if anyone actually cheated! Then the two teams and their fans would get into a multi-generation long blood feud, LOL!
@The Alpaca Redstoner Pretty much. It seems to me like if it wasn't for the Hurq raiding their home planet, the Klingons would've killed themselves off in some all out war before they discovered warp travel.
Gotta love how even in season 7, when we were in the final stretch of the Dominion War, with loads of serious character growth, galaxy-wide stakes, ever-changing alliances, dark choices that make you ponder if the ends truly justify the means, and all kinds of other heavy shit, there were still some episodes like this that were just about FUN.
You mentioned “authority” and now Cartman had barged into my head. I’m now trying to picture a fusion of Cartman and Odo, and my last shred of sanity won’t let me.
I loved this epsiode so much. Odo getting into character like that, Kira in uniform, and Vulcans playing baseball. Even that sly grin by the Vulcan captain. Things I never knew I needed in Star Trek. But damn I'm glad they exist.
Odo is probably my favourite star trek character and Rene Auberjonois has great comedic timing. My favourite odo moment has to be when in one episode Worf is criticising security on the station, comparing it to the enterprise. Odo proceeds to grab a padd lying next to him and proceeds to recite a list of security incidents on the enterprise.
Love the look on the Vulcan's when he does the same thing and is also kicked out! He also had an emotional moment at the end of the show when he is teased by the DS9 crew. For someone with very controlled responses, he got hot under the collar!
I love how Worf, who is stronger than the average MLB slugger and who, as a warrior skilled in the art of combat specifically with bladed weapons, should have better than average hand-eye coordination, didn't get credited with even a base hit. Also, #odowned.
and don't forget rejected and denied, except for some strange reason not with ze girls... I mean how attracted is a macrohead with a microbrain really? I'd bet he'd even get Seven of Nine if they were to meet. So strange, must be some kind of Klingon musk/scent/feromones.
Yeah, he just stands there dumb founded after being ejected but that's where most managers go nuts because the Ump has already ejected you, there's nothing to lose, he can't double eject you, so go nuts, kick dirt on him, dirty up home plate, kick the chalk up in the box, rip the bases out of the ground and throw them, or take them away, maybe even start throwing shit from your dugout onto the field. Literally every example I just listed has happened in professional baseball
Yep. That was a strike. Not by much, but it did catch the corner.Can't believe Sisko actually touched the Ump. That and profane insults are about the only things that can get you ejected. And Worf demanding "REVERSE THE CALL!! REVERSE THE CALL!! LMAO. No umpire woth his salt would reverse that call.
And the three "Ferengi" actors - Shimerman, Grodenchik, and Eisenberg - were apparently all GOOD players. So, the three actors played "opposite handed" to make them look far more awkward.
Also, Joey Banks, son of Hall of Famer Ernie, was the baseball consultant for this episode and also dressed up as one of the Vulcan players during the game.
You know Worf once killed someone while playing soccer, right? "In 2353, at thirteen years of age, Worf led his school's soccer team to the championships, where, in an attempt to score, he collided with another player, Mikel. The impact of Klingon ridges against a Human skull snapped Mikel's neck, and the boy died the next day." -Memory Alpha
@@healsallwounds I mean, this is Star Trek, they HAD to know people would go over that with a fine tooth comb, they had to get it right. Just curious how many takes it took.
One day I'm going to make a supercut of all the baseball references in DS9 just to get my baseball loving, only-ever-watched-The-TOS-movies-but-he-does-enjoy-them friend to watch a little bit more of the show :)
@@Shinigami13133 Odo read the unwritten rules too, if the ump tells you to get in the box and you have the audacity to tell him not to rush you then the next close call is going against you, you gotta swing at that pitch
"You, YOUUUUU'RE OUTTA HERE! 'No player shall at any time make contact with the umpire in any manner. The prescribed penalty for the violation is immediate ejection from the game.' Rule #4.06, subsection A, paragraph 4. Look it up, but do it in the stands. YOUUUUU'RE GONE!"
@adrimare1 Odo was designated umpire because of his reputation for being impartial, precisly why the Bajorans and the Cardassians relyed on him for security during the occupation, both sides (occupation and here) know that he will treat everyone fairly.
@Jason Smith True neutral. Remember the baseall episode, or how he treats Sisko on the first episode, or any other powers. Stern, gruff but equally. His only faltering is when Kira confessed to his unsolved murder, he just lets it go, I found it very uncharacteristic
@@fantochedollmaker7030, I chalked that up to guilt over the three Bajorans who died because his investigation wasn't thorough enough to catch the real killers.
Worf undoubtedly didn't realize that he'd actually been struck out and thought otherwise or else he'd have grudgingly accepted the ruling and stormed off angrily. Worf tends to usually obey the rules even if they act against him though he'll openly express his displeasure at the ones he hates, he IS a Klingon after all.
Worf was in my mind angry both at Solok giving Sisko a hard time for petty and childish reasons as well as the fact that his team was losing the game so he had a short fuse by this point. He didn't lay a hand on Odo at least, he just argued angrily with him.
I'd love to see Odo get lippy with Data. Of course, Data would likely never put his hand on Odo, especially with Odo serving as umpire. Now Lore, on the other hand, is a different story.
Lore would get even angrier then Sisko even IF Lore was sane and had morals and ethics like Data. It's part of Lore's personality to have a short temper and a sharp tongue after all which makes him interesting as it's a stark contrast to Data's even tempered personality /though Data has a sharp tongue too as seen when he argued with the Borg Queen in First Contact/.
I imagine Lore smiling placidly, and then punching a hole in Odo and literally tearing him in two with his bare hand without warning before laughing hysterically.
I imagine Data would simply accept that the umpire has the authority to make that ruling. Lore might attack Odo, but without a phaser he can't do much to someone who can become unsolid at will.
Data would never be allowed to play. He would CRUSH every pitch he touched. Data would actually be the best umpire they could have. He would never get a call wrong.
My favorite part of this is that Rom is the only good (yes good💀) player in their whole team. I love Rom episodes as a whole. They always have a sweet spot in my heart.
I know what you're driving at. In the episode, Rom was the worst of the team, which is why it was celebration that he actually managed to do what was needed to get a run in. His actor, however, was the best player out of any of the cast, think he played on the state level at one point. If I recall correctly, he actually had trouble playing badly due to sheer experience.
I like this episode and my favorite moment of all of DS9 is when Sisko gets ejected. However, Odo has clearly memorized the rulebook, and is a stickler for details. When he told Worf to return to the batter's box and Worf said "Don't rush me" and refused to take his batting position, Odo should have called a strike on him, which would have made him out. Worf violated Rule 5.04{b}{3}.
Ok, so I decided to go frame by frame to see who got the call right. And Worf and Sisko are right, the ball was way off the corner of the plate. Odo got the call wrong.
The Niners take a very "responding to internet trolls" approach by the end of the episode haha. They COULD sit down and debate the rationality of being pointlessly petty assholes with the guys who pride themselves on how logical they are then weaponize it to irritate people. But instead they just laugh off their pretension and have a good time with their friends instead.
The Niners did! Check the scene at Quark's at the end of the episode. Sisko's exaggerated surprise was priceless. "Is that irritation I hear in that voice?"
Never touch the umpire. Forgive my ignorane, but what if a player trips and falls at the umpire or if they accidentally bump in to him or something? Are they out? Or is it only intentional touching that counts?
Nope. If you read the rule book, there is a couple caveat that specifically deal with those situations. Especially if a base runner is running the hell out and the ump can't get out of the way in time. Happened more than once in MLB and they just laughed it off.
Also, bear in mind that an umpire has wide latitude for enforcing the rules at all. For example, this happened once: th-cam.com/video/AgRMwIvDMBQ/w-d-xo.html No umpire's going to eject a guy for that, even though it's clearly intentional contact - and trust me, if an umpire was going to eject you, Joe West is the second most likely to do it.
first of all I LOVE odo in this scene, second of all, you never touch an umpire, and sisko shouldve called time before going out to yell like that, and insulting the ump the way he does is walking a dangerous line, and my final point, that was absolutely a strike.
Odo- law and order every time- he reads the rule book one time and the only difference between him and a real live umpire is that he doesn’t like going on strike.
1:14 No player at any time shall make contact with the umpire, in any manner. The prescribed penalty for the violation is immediate ejection from the game. Rule number 4.06 subsection A, paragraph 4, look it up but do it in the stand. YOU'RE GONE!!!!
He was right, haha.
"*4.06 Unsportsmanlike Conduct*

(3) Call “Time,” or employ any other word or phrase or commit any act while the ball is alive and in play for the obvious purpose of trying to make the pitcher commit a balk.
(4) Make intentional contact with the umpire in any manner."
e should've ben ejected earlier, though. You can't argue balls or strikes, either. Work and Sisko should've both been gone.
@@Emigdiosback The MLB rule book codification changed in 2015 to 6.04. But before that it was 4.06, so at the time of the filming they were correct.
What about IF THE UMPIRE TOUCHES THE PLAYER OR MGR? no rule 4 that. I think
Sisko had to look this up in the stands! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
look it up but do it in the stands ... cause your gone :P

They must have had so much fun making this.
Oh you know they did! Would love to watch the blooper real from this!
It turns out Max "Rom" Grodenchik had played pro baseball for a while and consequently really had to tank it for the episode.
Not just that, but he had to play left-handed (he's right-handed) in order to play badly enough. Otherwise he would just look like a pro trying to play badly.
They also had actual professional players as the Vulcan crew so that they would realistically look like they're better at the game.

Odo for a being who is virtually immortal, he sure doesn't have allot of patients.
Defintely in my Top 10 fav DS9 episodes.
I never question Odo's powers of observation. If he says the ball caught the outside corner, it caught the outside corner.
Odo is a stickler for rules and regulations, so what he says goes. No questions asked.
This should have been a staple of the entire series. Odo as an umpire is just amazing casting.
Gotta love how he pushes Worf out of the way.
Sisko and Worf arguing with Odo is pretty much all part of baseball.
This was a very good episode, but it would have been better if somebody had called the Vulcan on the illogical nature of his behavior.
The Niners take a very "responding to internet trolls" approach by the end of the episode haha. They COULD sit down and debate the rationality of being pointlessly petty assholes with the guys who pride themselves on how logical they are then weaponize it to irritate people. But instead they just laugh off their pretension and have a good time with their friends instead.
The Niners did! Check the scene at Quark's at the end of the episode. Sisko's exaggerated surprise was priceless. "Is that irritation I hear in that voice?"
"What were you doing, REGENERATING???"
Still I don't think there is a single Star Trek episode in which Vulcans were THAT yellow.
There is so many levels of fitting that odo is the Umpire XD
Before I watched DS9, I thought Odo was a villain lol
Nope, just his race is evil. xD
YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU'RE OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
Never touch the umpire. Forgive my ignorane, but what if a player trips and falls at the umpire or if they accidentally bump in to him or something? Are they out? Or is it only intentional touching that counts?
Nope. If you read the rule book, there is a couple caveat that specifically deal with those situations. Especially if a base runner is running the hell out and the ump can't get out of the way in time. Happened more than once in MLB and they just laughed it off.
The actual rule calls for ejection if the player "Intentionally" makes contact with the umpire. That's the loophole.
Also, bear in mind that an umpire has wide latitude for enforcing the rules at all. For example, this happened once: th-cam.com/video/AgRMwIvDMBQ/w-d-xo.html No umpire's going to eject a guy for that, even though it's clearly intentional contact - and trust me, if an umpire was going to eject you, Joe West is the second most likely to do it.
Odo rules!
And Sisko actually didn't annoy me in this clip. 0_0
There's something about the fact that Worf is a passionate baseball player. It makes me smile.
first of all I LOVE odo in this scene, second of all, you never touch an umpire, and sisko shouldve called time before going out to yell like that, and insulting the ump the way he does is walking a dangerous line, and my final point, that was absolutely a strike.
That is the René Auberjonois we know and love from Boston Legal long before he was citing partnership agreements to Denny
If it makes you feel any better, the Vulcan team coach gets ejected later in the episode.
Gotta love the umpire!
Love this scene. Especially Odo as an umpire.
Sisko should have got Quark umpire and Odo to play.
Rest in Peace, René Auberjonois.
Real shocker when the main character is thrown out of the game.
Odo- law and order every time- he reads the rule book one time and the only difference between him and a real live umpire is that he doesn’t like going on strike.
So here we have an actor acting like a pile of gelatin acting like a person acting like an umpire. Neat.
Surely they could just check the Holo-suite sensors....
Sisko was right about one thing. That pitch was nowhere near the strike zone.
"you! you're out of here!!!!" love that line
Tickled me this bit. I’m towards the end of a ds9 rewatch now
If you touch the umpire in anyway, you better be ready to get tossed.
1:14 No player at any time shall make contact with the umpire, in any manner. The prescribed penalty for the violation is immediate ejection from the game. Rule number 4.06 subsection A, paragraph 4, look it up but do it in the stand. YOU'RE GONE!!!!
This is every baseball movie stereotype put into one scene
😂😂😂 your'e outta here , your gone most funny thing i've seen from ds9 😂😂😂
They should really trust Odo on that call, since he's obsessed when it comes to details
Sisko knew it was a strike but had to 'go to bat' for Worf.
Why do I cackle when Sisko says "What were you doing? Regenerating?" 🤣
iirc it's a near verbatim quote from an actual baseball manager contesting a call, so it's very real and goes hard.
@@hisoj Makes it even better!
