When Lou Piniella takes off that hat, ain’t no turning back! 🤣
My father watched the Mariners when I was a kid. It didn't matter where you were in the house, once he yelled, "Here comes Lou!" we all knew what this meant and bolted to the television to see him in action.
Lou should be in the HOF by now
Lou's ejections are legendary. God I miss that era of baseball, especially his time with the Mariners.. such good memories from when I was a kid.
Growing up in Seattle with Lou managing the M’s was the best thing ever!!
This guy won World Series as a player and manager and is known for getting pissed at umpires. What a fucking legend.
You can't deny the passion Lou Piniella had for baseball.
Had 4 talented players in Seattle who could steal 40 bases or more each year. Never happened once. Rickey Henderson always did his own thing in NY when Piniella managed him. Had no belief in Lou one bit. Imagine how great Ichiro could have been if he had been allowed to steal more bases.
Announcer "Here comes Lou" (brief pause) "there goes Lou." You don't see much of this anymore with today's challenge rules. First they come up with a pitch and even batter clock to speed the game up, then the challenges to slow it down. So what is missing from baseball and even other major sports (NFL, NBA)? Judgement and judgement calls is what is missing. The NBA has gone batty with it's foul challenges. The NBA use to have only two officials work games. Then they went to three officials and now challenges including rules concerning flagrant fouls, flopping, clear path, etc. Those thugs lack professionalism and integrity is their major problem. The All-Star Game is a joke. Defense is for either young guys trying to make a team or just hope the three point shot misses. They all can dunk and act like that is so great. Sorry, this is about Pinella and not the NBA but Lou put on an extra show not seen anymore in sports because to him it was still a game. Not so anymore.
Lou Pinella is second all-time in the modern era in arguing antics with Umpires, right behind Billy Martin.
Griffy Jr always laughed at Lou which added to the hysteria 🤣
1:12 my two favorite hotheads Piniella and O’Neill arguing together 😂 awesome
Scoscia deeked Eric Davis which had him limping. The next night Norm Charlton gets on base with a HBP and Joe Oliver hits a double down the line, Charlton runs all the way home to score and took out Scoscia.
The 1990 reds were tough that year. They had the Nasty Boys.
Sweet Lou's Seattle Mariners ejections are priceless including kicking his hat in Cleveland.
And watching The Kid laughing at him was priceless, too
I always like it when he grab the base and toss it across the infield
So many warm and fuzzy memories of Lou Pinella losing his cool! I loved every minute of it! Seeing Lou run out of the dugout, like he was in the starting gate at the Kentucky Derby, immediately followed up by being nose to nose with the umpire who's call is in question, followed by the throwing of his cap to the ground, in absolute disagreement and the subsequent kicking of said cap, as if it were a football on a tee. Ultimately ending his tirade, with kicking dirt on the pant legs of the umpire, or covering home plate.... Absolute genius! Thank you for this compilation of Lou Pinella's best ejections. 👍🏽
The players played harder, because they knew their manager would go out and fight for them.
You wonder what was being said. I can hear this:
Lou: I know you will not change your mind
Umpire: Damn Straight.
Lou: Well, I am going to get in your face about it.
Umpire: Damn Straight.
Lou: Let's give the fans a show.
Umpire: Damn Straight.
Lou: Want to come over for a beer after the game?
Umpire: Damn Straight.
Shit was hilarious and I don’t even watch baseball 😂
you couldn't said better mate
I hated it. Grown men acting like babies is not cool and shouldn't be celebrated.
His “tirade prime” was definitely his time with the Mariners.
It's great hearing Vin Scully. He was the greatest ever.
Even though Lou lost his mind so much, he was actually right quite a bit.
Just viewing this for first time and you’re absolutely correct
He also tried a little bit to pick and choose his spots in which to go off at an umpire.
Knew when to press the buttons. Very knowledgeable on the rules also.
The one with the double play, mattingly, it was bang bang. I think he was safe.
@FloridaCeltic34 He wasn't right. Because he gets angry for no reason and that's why. Because all Umps have the right to eject him.
Best arguing manager in MLB history 👏 🙌
Lou Pinella is like Donald Duck having Frequent Angry Outbursts everytime he gets Mad 😂🤣
My dad was Lou's buddy. His rookie year traveling secretary. KC has some stories I've heard and never allowed to repeat! Lol. Animals!
I loved watching Lou Piniella argue and have a temper tantrum. It was hilarious.
Hilarious stuff! Whenever I need a few belly laughs, I turn to Lou.
I was watching his first Cubs ejection. That one was legendary. I don't know if I've ever seen another manager actually kick dirt on the umpire.
Look up videos of Billy Martin, he actually threw dirt on an umpire.
Glad you found a bunch of the old Mariner Lou ejections. These were great ones.
I saw Lou Pinella many years ago in Toronto and you just know you're looking at a living legend.
Sweet Lou. Cincinnati will always cherish you.
Lol!! I remember some of these as I'm from Seattle 😂😂
Its kinda hilarious just how similar all of his freakouts are. Comes running out of the dugout, slams his hat down, screams in the umpires face, then followed by wild kicking of dirt over home base.
😂
I love me some Lou Piniella aka Sweet Lou! He is one of my favorite MLB managers of all time.
Only negative to our replay system is that we miss out on some these fantastic moments where a legend just needs to vent some frustration for the entire world to see. Lou is a national treasure
I used to have a tshirt with a picture of Lou's legendary dirt kicking blowup with the Cubs that said "Sweet Lou: Just Kicking It". I would give anything to have that shirt back! Must have been 15 years ago
Great video of Lou piniella ejections like a kid throwing a tantrum at Walmart
Lou is such a legend
Awesome job on getting these clips together. Being a former Minor League umpire, pretty cool to see a lot of umpires on here that I’ve met that has had a piece of Pinella lol
Sweet Lou
Nice Compilation!
Lol listening to the commentators describing lous arguments is the best
I was there with my Uncle and I was 13 years old. The electricity from the fans was amazing.
I love how they cut the camera to Ken Griffey, Jr laughing; LOL
Hated Jr as a person, but he was a great talent.
The call at 1:12 was ridiculous. The ump called Davis safe!
Where's the clip of his best reaction when he throws the first base bag?
Ahh the good old days of no replay. It was the wild west back then.
He learned a lot from Billy Martin ... Pin Stripe Respect ... Sweet Lou" Nothing sweet about Lou he's got no sugar in his tank ... Straight up RAW and Un Cut"
Lou admitted years later that he regretted treating the umpires so disrespectfully
Love me some Lou Piniella!
Him and Bobby Cox was no joke. 😂
Those 2 were LEGENDS.
I’d love to see those 2 on the same MLB coaching staff.
Lou pinella and bobby knight have wild confrontations with umpires and referees.
I was living in Seattle when Sweet Lou kicked his hat all over. It was made all the better by the cuts to Junior laughing in the dugout. We've never had characters quite like that on the Rockies, though Don Baylor had some good umpire arguments and Larry Walker liked a laugh just as much as Junior.
I MET LOU WHEN I WAS JUST A KID 👦 IN SCHOOL BACK IN THE 80s HE WAS SUCH A NICE GUY TO US KIDS IT WAS IN BROOKLYN NYC, HE WAS SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS 😊😊
I’d give anything to hear these mic’d up!
I like the Cubs ejections better because I still remember that ejection vs the Braves, he got an Aquafina commercial after that.
This is entertainment. I’m not sure how Lou didn’t have a massive coronary or stroke in some of these games.
I am so happy instant replay is here so managers don't lose their mind. I remember long 17 inning games and pitchers coming to bat. All gone. Pitch clock and ghost runner is here to stay.
How can you not love sweet Lou?
Bring back managers like Lou and Earl Weaver, they really fought for their teams and stood up to bad calls by these umps
bullschitt! he argued more calls they got right than wrong! look it up!
@@scottstmary2382 I dont need to look it up, they fought and they were right most of the time
Replay review killed that. It took the emotion out of pivotal moments of the game and turned close calls into a dull, academic study exercise.
The upside though is that by killing these high energy arguments on TV, it probably improved the way people behave at Little League games.
Regardless, I still prefer 20th century baseball over the modern "fork" of the sport that MLB has been trying to invent for the last ~10 years.
@@yorgle11 i miss the managers arguing with the umps but i must say that tho instant replay took all of the emotions from the game i feel the umps were getting 2 many calls wrong and something needed 2 be done about it.the red sox couldve used instant replay agianst the yanks in the 98 playoffs for sure.
Grew up watching Sweet Looouuu, as a player & manager, great post. Hearing Rizzuto is even better yet
Lou, always entertaining 🙂 After one performance, for some reason, Lou's wife was interviewed, and she said "I'm 43 years old and married to a 4-year old!" 😂
Great hearing Vin Scully. He was the greatest ever.
and Stuart Scott rip
Lou is the personification of bseball
Lou, what a Legend !
Loved seeing Lou Piniella lose his cool watching mariners games with my dad, wish I had been a bit older to remember and appreciate more of that era of mariners baseball
Sweet Lou should be in the Hall of Fame on entertainment value alone. Always worth the price of admission and ya never know, might catch a hat or a base or some chewing gum sitting in the stands
Lou and Billy Martin loved to kick dirt
Sweet Lou...
Nobody threw a fit better than Lou! 😂
His argument with umpires is making me laugh!!! He was looking like he’s the strictest manager in MLB history!
He wasn't really, though. He'd let the players police themselves. He was tougher on rookies, knew how to show tough love (just ask A-Rod). He'd fight tooth and nail for his players, though. I miss these old school types.
I miss lou so much, having him as the cubs manager was a lot of fun
being a Mariners' fan, Lou Pinella was a BIG part of my childhood. loved seeing him lose his cool lol
Can you imagine if Lou had to deal with today's bush league umpires? He would've eventually strangled one of them.
When did MLB umpires wear red shirts?
at the beginning, Erick Dye-Cain. be careful what you ask for. LOL LOL
Priceless
Man, he's something. Colorful and engaging. Much like Cox, Martin, and Weaver.
Some guys have a good bat flip... Lou had the hat throw!
The signature hat throw is great 😂
Love a passionate coach!
Un espectáculo, MAGISTRAL, como te echamos de menos lou, ❤❤❤❤
this was baseball at its best
I guess Lou learned that from Billy Martin. 😂
I saw Lou Piniella when he played for AAA Portland Beavers in 66-68. My only memory--he was batting and didn't like the ump's call and ripped on the ump. He looked just like he did in some of these clips. That particular at bat was resolved normally. Lou was known for "having the redass" even then. He is probably the greatest of all the former Portland Beavers.
I would have lost my mind too. If I saw an umpire signal “safe” and then “out.”
Can you imagine one telling the other, Dude, you need a Tic Tac.
Waoo, this guy was pure fun 😂😂😂
Lou must have grown up playing soccer. Damn, he tried to kick EVERYTHING.
He was the best. As a player and a manager.
My favorite manager when it comes to protesting, he was hilarious. I think if he hadn't of played MLB, he could've been a soccer player with those kicking skills, 😄😆🤣, love ol' "sweet Lou"...
Somewhere there's an editorial cartoon, drawn by the Cincinnati Enquirer's Jim Borgman (artist on the comic strip, "Zits").
The bottom caption reads: "The Cincinnati Reds undergo 'Anger Management' therapy."
The scene is the Cincinnati Reds locker room. The Reds players are all sitting on the locker room benches.
A psychiatrist in a black suit is sitting with them, clipboard in hand.
A large water cooler flies in from offscreen, and hits a bank of lockers (obviously hurled across the room by an offscreen person).
The psychiatrist says calmly, "Thank you for expressing your feelings so eloquently, Mr. Piniella. Would anyone else like to comment on today's 6-to-1 loss against the Expos?"
Lou Pinella is the second coming of Billy Martin.
Lou was awesome
Please do top 10 Lou Piniella ejections.
As a millennial old soul person, I never crack up so hard at Sweet Lou never realize that he HATES messed up calls 😂🤣😂🤣😂
God I miss those days.
Sweet Lou was the BEST manager the Mariners ever had!!!!!
Sweet Lou was a savage!
It's so funny to see two men, not knowing what they are saying, lean back and forth into one another with open mouths. It would be awful if anyone got hurt, but it's like a miniature theater, hilarious.
0:45. Don Mattingly just stands there while Pinella argues with the umpire. 😄😄😄😄😄😄. Apparently he didn't want to be tossed, either.
Miss him
When the hat goes you know Lou is going to give the umps the business
I thought Andre Dawson was the only one who knew how to throw bats out of the dugout. 😄😄😄
You gotta love Sweet Lou
I'm surprised that Pinella didn't go so far as to punch an umpire; which would have garnered him a hefty fine and a lengthy suspension.
Out of all the umpires, Crawford had the hottest head. His rages were as impressive as the managers he threw out.
Sweet lou and cox are legends
And Earl Weaver.
@@kevinmiller6380 I forgot about him
Sweet Lou!
Gracias por el video de beisbol delos mariners arriba los mariners
Everytime i see this i always think of Naked Gun when the umpires start arguing with eachother. 😅
