The Reynolds ejection was an umpire who needs to re-evalute his career choice. 3 straight balls, not in the margin of error and he called all 3 strikes
11:55 This is a good point. Having done this for six years (as an amateur, of course), I have a hard time singling out who is saying what sometimes. How these guys can hear the chirping over the crowd noise puzzles me. People always accuse umpires of having rabbit ears, but you sort of have to or things can get out of hand. This is an important game management issue.
It's an even more important game management issue for umpires not to want to become part of the gameplay. A guy in the dugout, unseen and unheard by the crowd, shouldn't cause any reaction from the umpire at the plate. The umpire is the only person in the world who knows that guy is yelling at him. Why bring the attention of the audience to the issue that the umpire sucks? Shake it off. Keep the game going.
@@arinerm1331 Depends on the situation. Take a little, take a lot. If it's going to develop into a bigger problem, it's usually a good idea to take care of it before it does. If it has a good chance of escalating, you better take care of it before it does.
@@arinerm1331 As of now there have been 82 ejections this year. That's 82 in ~700 games this year, if my math is right. I 100% guarantee you that there is a *lot* of talk going on that doesn't result in an ejection. Players and managers tend to get a lot of rope, because it's a competitive situation, and most umpires get that. But there is a line, and the players and managers know where that line is, and have every opportunity to step back from it. I get your point - and to an extent I agree with it - but there are times when it simply isn't tenable.
@@arinerm1331 they don’t the player or coach does it by talking. If it’s heard by the umpire its heard then. Just because some people can’t hear doesn’t mean they get to get away with it. You can’t argue balls/strikes or out/safe calls. It’s in the rules. Don’t get me wrong do I think some umpires get a kick out of throwing guys out sure I do but most of them give them plenty of leeway on it and they keep doing it.
If an umpire makes a bad call and player is ejected by the bad call the umpire should have to pay the players fine. Umpires need to be held accountable
I love how it’s the ones you don’t expect to get angry are the more shocking ejections. That’s the most I’ve ever seen Tuck get animated he must’ve felt he got done wrong but hey it’s in the rule book about it falling under the umpire’s discretion.
I don’t know why they decided to add that to the rules in the first place. It takes away the fun of the game! There’s a reason why baseball never had a pitch clock! Also let the players express themselves!
While the argument ejections are still fun, the brunt of the ejections are from the new time clock (which is a fricking disgrace to MLB 🤬) 6:26-12:02 Jackie Robinson Day ejections: MIN vs. NYY/PIT vs. STL/TEX vs. HOU/COL vs. SEA 14:48-15:58 CHC vs. OAK (you can hear EVERY single word [including obscenities] Mark Kotsay says to the home plate umpire 🤬) 17:37-18:55 LAA vs. NYY (rare instance where the manager is thrown out twice 😂) 20:53-22:59 STL vs. SEA/BOS vs. BAL/TB vs. CWS (22:40 AGAIN!! 😂)
These umpires nowadays are getting away with murder with their egos. They should face disciplinary actions just like the players and managers. They are only umpires not police officers.
I hope MLB announcers realize that it’s not where the ball is caught by the catcher, it’s where the ball crosses the plate! Sometimes I wonder if they realize that on some of these calls. Overall, the Umpires are very good!
Played baseball from age 6 all the way through scholarship at Penn-state. The pitch timer is one of the greatest new rules to come to baseball. It eliminates all the mental games the batter plays, having their glove / pad rituals over and over after every pitch taking up so much unnecessary time. The timer alone has made baseball exciting again. Batting averages are up across the board, much higher scoring and competitive games in shorter time.... I could go on and on. Complaining about the timer is pure fud mentality.
Not just you. He seems to be either the lead ump or one of the crew in every ejection so far for sticky stuff. Like he's the godfather of the stick or something.
How are there so many people saying the new rules are the reason for a majority of these ejections? There was like maybe 5 that were from the new rules
JT is the best catcher in baseball for a reason. Not only can he hit but he’s great at his position. He also knows he what else can and can’t get away with. That hit by pitch he knew if he argued and got it they couldn’t review it. Bush league? Maybe but smart nonetheless.
at 2:53 why is the catcher pulling the ball up half a foot if he thinks it's a strike. Generally speaking he would be telling the umpire that the pitch was definitely low. If I'm the pitcher I'd be pissed. That was a good pitch butchered. I could see the umpire saying catch the ball right. He probably wanted to be ejected.
Yeah pitch count isn't gonna last long no pun intended cause I saw the game last month that was exploited when it was used to their advantage during the replay
The worst thing ever came up with was a pitch clock part of baseball is staring each other down.. Everybody's gotta be timed. It's all about offense anymore for the non fan.
Yeah I love watching two men stare into each others eye for 2 hours, then wait another 45 minutes while the batter adjusts his gloves for the 7th time then finally a pitch only for them to have to do it all over again 😂
If umpires have always been bad, are bad, and will be forever bad. Why get upset about it ? It is an element you don't have control over, like the weather, stadium dimensions, lights etc.
2:52 sorry but that’s on the catcher not know how to correctly frame a pitch. If you look at the good catchers you’ll see they don’t put their glove on any spot they bring it down and then they bring it to the pitch. This will make low balls look more like strikes instead of starting out low and then bringing it up quickly. He made it look as though the ball was low and he brought it up to the strike zone. Also any announcer that thinks umps should just let people talk back to them about out/safe ball/strike calls don’t know the rules and it can get annoying.
The pitch clock is something that's long overdue. I watched a game from 30 years ago on TH-cam and saw how much quicker pitchers worked back then. It keeps pressure on the hitter anyway.
Why does the viewer have the strike-zone picture but the players in-game don't use it? It could just be on the board behind home plate so everyone can see it. Seems more predictable to get a strike and ball called correctly than the viewers but not the players seeing the strike-zone picture. The umpire can still be there to call stuff like take your base and if players are safe or not, etc but lets use the strike-zone picture for everyone.
It was a rosin issue. The league didn't come down with full guidelines until after this and even now it's an ump judgement for what is too much rosin. Realistically, if the pitcher goes to the rosin bag too many times on a hot day and sweats into it too much, it makes a paste that gets them ejected. You could go out there with clean hands, pick up the bag a few times and get tossed if you're a 'sweaty palms' type of guy. German also got tossed one week later by the exact same crew for the same thing. Scherzer was the same thing. The Yankees had another pitcher almost get tossed because he had a new glove with some fur padding on the inside stick to the rosin on his wrist.
Regardless of Adames calling time in time that pitch’s was a ball by a mile and the ump called it a strike out of spite. Convince me that most MLB umps don’t have a god complex cuz that’s what most of these vids prove
I'm a Youth umpire and i use these as therapy after some games.
So apparently Jackie Robinson Day was a bloodbath this year
Yes! Was looking for this comment! On the day that mlb honors a guy that didn't fight back, there was plenty of fighting back on April 15th lol
@@joeycrck1479 Ironically, Jackie was ejected a lot in his career.
@@priceright8963 not that type of fighting back. Against the racial crap. he didn't argue or fight back.
Why hasn't a batter swung and miss, and argued the pitch was a ball?
April was definitely wild bloodbath hilarious season especially Jackie Robinson Day wow 🤣
MLB, NFL and NBA need an officiating overhaul!
Absofuckinlutely
NHL too
Not until the players have a legal right to a legal, lawful, or fair contest -- which they do not.
I mean all sports r rigged and fixed... Refs/umps r only doing what they r told to do... Its all for entertainment purposes.
Thank you for not cutting these short! Great video!
The Reynolds ejection was an umpire who needs to re-evalute his career choice. 3 straight balls, not in the margin of error and he called all 3 strikes
And that’s why I’m more of a fan of listening to games rather than watching them.
Why the hell do all of these umps have the need to flex their ego when they're wrong??? This is bad for the game
Because they are competing for officiating spots in the postseason.
nice, thanks for these videos. I binge watch all of them while working. cheers.
I'm thinking everyone needs to wear '86' on Jackie Robinson day, cuz ERRRRRRBODY'S getting kicked out!!
These umpires have a LOT more patience than I ever would!
an ad at the beginning and 30 seconds in. awesome
The Scherzet ejection definitely and still does piss me off terribly! I’m a Marlins fan btw!
Scherzer**
Same
It's so freakin weird seeing Justin Turner with the Boston Red Sox.
That I can definitely agree with

That pitch clocks literally getting everyone ejected this season
16:43 - get paid by swinging the bat. Let the strike go by... oh well. F for batting. A for ejection!
Love these vids appreciate the uploads👍👍👍
When will the May ejections of 2023 MLB come out and released
Nelson is slowly becoming the new Hernandez
nah, nobody is even close to being the "new" hernandez
Phil Cuzzi
eh, they’re both average or slightly below average
Gabe morales is really good he’s my favorite
Been waiting for this 🎉🎉

With the ever increasing poor performances of sports officials, expect to see this more often in all sports.
Take a shot every time the announcer says “he’s gonna get his money’s worth!!” Lmaoooo
Yahoooo
Thanks for upload, I waited for this
That pitch clock at the start of the year is proving to be a thorn in the side for everyone, lol

It really has been a thorn so far and I think it’s gonna continue to be a thorn moving forward if they decide to keep it
Pitch clock needs to be done away with
@@jorgealfonsostelling5021 because games were lasting 3 to 3 1/2 hours. And it was boring to watch.

Yep
I love these videos
If you bean a player running the bases they are out NICE RULE MLB
Why is David bell always trying to fight people
You’d think the umpires know by now that tossing someone doesn’t prevent them from arguing
It sure stops them from arguing after that though.
These umpires nowadays are getting away with murder with their egos. They should face disciplinary actions just like the players and managers. They are only umpires not police officers.
Perfect Timing by the Umpire at 17:59
I didn’t realize how many ejections happen in a month lol
“It’s an 8-run game”? I wasn’t aware the strike zone was supposed to change depending on the score.
It was a strike did you not see the ball hit the bottom line of the strike zone
So apparently April was definitely a wild month for sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying laughing.
We’re still waitin on the 2023 July,August,September,October,and postseason ejections lol

Some catchers are great at framing and it can trick umpires.
Keep up the good work
You know the Baseball ⚾ rules, Manny Mancho!!!
Matt scherzer got suspended 10 games for the foreign substance on his glove
The pitch timer specifically is the most disgraceful change the MLB has EVER made!
It great faster games
How much time does a batter need ? All that playing with gloves could have been done before he came to the plate

Not just you. He seems to be either the lead ump or one of the crew in every ejection so far for sticky stuff. Like he's the godfather of the stick or something.
4:34 pitch was high. OK, that's the way it goes. Baseball.
Umpires r sensitive
I can't wait for may ejections
How are there so many people saying the new rules are the reason for a majority of these ejections? There was like maybe 5 that were from the new rules
There's a reason you get three strikes, a number of reasons. Don't whine.
The pitch clock should only turn red when it gets to the 8 second mark. It should be a different color until then.
Don’t worry it was just an April fools joke 😊
Umpires have serious mommy issues

I want to see a player give the ump the your outta here
David Ortiz did a few years back, but it went over about as well as farting in church.
I want to see players, managers, and owners refuse to play until leagues get rid of these clowns and get ones that can pass a vision test.

How? Gamea are more efficient, and we don't have to wait the length of a sitcom between pitches. How is this worse?
Most of these players should use those big mouths to catch some fastballs!
One month into the season, and the pitch clock is already proving to be a problem.
Is it a problem or is it finally shown that either the pitcher or the batter take longer than what should be taken if there wasn’t one.
My point exactly. It doesn't really help anything.
Pitch clock is stupid
