I was actually at that game where Tito gets ejected (5:13). I was in the balcony over 3rd base so I got a good view of the entire thing. I had never seen two players meet at one base. I remember my family was googling it and yes, we also saw that Rosario would be out. During the replays, there was a general consensus that Hernandez clearly made it in time. We were all shocked to see Tito ejected and were pissed they were BOTH out. In the end though, Cleveland won this game in the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off homer, and we got to see fireworks after, so we were happy. It was definitely one of the most interesting games I've been to
The main reason I miss Hawk Harrelson is that the new ChiSox announcers are the most infuriatingly biased announcers in all of pro sports. Hawk loved his team but he wasn’t stupid about it
And neither was Harry. I'm not Hawk's biggest fan (and I know darn well that Harry had his share of critics, too), admittedly, but both he and Harry didn't pull any punches when it came to the White Sox/Cubs on-field performances.
When did you start giving your own view of what is being argued? I liked these video so much better when you didn’t interact with the clips. Please go back to just showing us clips.
These aren't MLB Ejection Tracker's vids. They are from various other channels, including Close Call Sports' videos, and HE'S the guy that does the annoying voiceovers.
Tommy Pham was also ejected in that Padres-Marlins game when Skip Schumaker was ejected. He was arguing balls and strikes from the dugout at Doug Eddings.
First pitch of the game from Pablo Lopez and he gets ejected? That is bullcrap! Complete and utter bullcrap! He never should have been kicked out of the game. I agree with the commentators completely. You can see that Lopez felt bad immediately. Instead of kicking him out, give both teams a warning.
Back in the day I played little league, pony league and HS baseball. We were taught if the pitch is close, swing to protect the plate. Sometimes you fouled it off others you struck out. Players today you have to call the whambulance when they get called out on strikes.
It's not you. It's an age old "trick" called "framing the pitch". Essentially the catcher is trying to fool the umpire into believing any pitch slightly out of the zone is actually a strike.
It is unbelievable that ANYBODY can claim surprise that the Marlins' pitcher got tossed there....their broadcast crew just massively embarrassed themselves there....
They took it from that persons channel so…some people want it. If you enjoy baseball you should check them out they give great rules interpretations. While I’ll agree on these I only want to see the ejections it’s pulled from their channel so nothing we can do about it.
Players should get 30 seconds to make their argument and walk away, say what they want. It would make baseball soooo much better and eliminate these ridiculous quick trigger ejections, especially since so many of them the umpire engages the conversation based on the players look of objection...paid professionals they can take a 30 second critique of their work and as a fan it would sure make things more exciting!
I've watched thousands of baseball videos. This has never occurred to me to ask until now. Why is it that baseball is the only professional sport where coaches dress up as if they were players, complete with uniform numbers?
“We know Pablo better than anyone else”… hahaha they all say they know a guy better than they know themselves. Announcers are clout chasers just like modern women
if you could get along you would not need an ump. Call the owner, just call it a day go home, they would not let you win anyway. that will piss off the fans, now they lose money.
20:45 I love when commentators don’t know the rules. It’s not where the bay travels. It’s if I’m the umpires judgment he offered at the ball. Personally I would say he did but in Ed Hickok opinion (which is the one that matters here) he didn’t.
And Hickok was obviously wrong. It was definitely a swing and Hickok not only effectively decided the game, but the whole NL West Division with that terrible call.
@@Joe_Okey you can think that all you want but that’s your opinion and opinion that I agree with. I was pointing out that it’s nowhere in the rules that says a swing is when “the bat travels” to a certain point. So the commentator doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he says this. Do I think it was a swing yes hind sights 20/20 Hickok thought it wasn’t a swing and in the end that’s what matters. Now if the commentator said “I know it’s the umpires judgment if he went around or not but from here it looks like it’s a swing” I wouldn’t have made my comment but he didn’t so here we are.
So, if your hands move at all and your bat is still pointing backwards toward the umpire, it is a swing? I think not!!! Love how umps are total screw ups and the professional players are ejected. No consequences for the screw up umpires.
It’s so funny seeing Tony La Russa come out to argue because he’s just a bag of bones trying to defend his team😂😂😂White Sox are my 2nd fav team after Brewers but I don’t think Tony La Russa should be managing the team
MLB umpires are too lenient. They should eject any coach or player the second they raise their voices. That was always my policy when I umpired youth and high school baseball/softball.
The problem is that umpires are just too untouchable, in large part due to a Union. The time for Unions of any kind has past in the USA. Umpires know they can make bad calls and go completely unpunished for it, yet players and coaches are punished for questioning these bad calls or justly criticizing an umpire and telling him like it is and saying to an umpire what frankly just needs to be said. I probably would have physically attacked some of these smug umpires if I were in baseball because my temper is very bad- punches, head butts, maybe even a bat strike. The bottom line is that we need to punish umpires for bad calls that lose games for teams. And the punishments should be severe- fines of up to a million dollars and suspensions up to 81 games. Or half of an MLB season.
Stupid announcers. You dont need a warning to eject the pitcher if the umpire rules it intentional. That was a very suspect pitch. The pitch wasn't even close. Good ejection
26:12 "I think Jomboy's gonna have some fun with this one" 💀
WOW EVEN THE REDS KNOW JOMBOY!!!!!
Love the hothead chart, but what I love even more is the breakdown of Votto’s character development
Just look at all those hotheads at the dugouts!!
Greg Gibson by far has the best ejection signal in sports outside of Aubrey Edwards in AEW when she sends people from ringside.
Greg Gibson the home plate umpire also has the best motioning signal that he uses to motion to both players.
And the Dodgers celebrating in their dugout
Hey
You know, I used to think that yelich one was bs, but I can actually see him make a tiny turn at the end, umps made the right call imo

Glad to see these being posted again.

Same thing with the dodgers announcers now too
And neither was Harry. I'm not Hawk's biggest fan (and I know darn well that Harry had his share of critics, too), admittedly, but both he and Harry didn't pull any punches when it came to the White Sox/Cubs on-field performances.
Bro what
@@blakeengebretson2776 Steve stone actually is one of my favs
Hawk compilation videos are also very entertaining

@@storyofcory I really hate those. I like the old ejection videos
Love Todd Hollinsworth but he’s 100% wrong anyone with a brain knows that the Marlins try to end Acura’s career at least once a year
I hope the MLB does NOT start using computers to call strikes. If they did we wouldn’t have entertaining videos like this…👍🏾
The wave-off shows up the player and the umpire knows it. You can read Votto's lips as he repeats the gesture: "You did to me, I'm doing it to you."
Never quit making these
Oh no close call sport’s voice in the background, please just have the videos of the ejections, that’s what his channel is for
Disagree. I enjoy hearing his thoughts on them. Also I think he may be cobbling together his mini ejection videos into one.
Tommy Pham was also ejected in that Padres-Marlins game when Skip Schumaker was ejected. He was arguing balls and strikes from the dugout at Doug Eddings.
hit acuna, get tossed.
hit harper 3 times in a row, nothing.
Nice consistency.

I agree with the commentators completely. You can see that Lopez felt bad immediately. Instead of kicking him out, give both teams a warning.
Love the videos. But could do without the personal commentary. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work though!
14:53 I thought that the half-swing definition was more about whether the bat crossed the midline of home plate rather than did he strike at the ball.
Nah the rule only says "If the player attempts to strike at the ball." It's completely a judgement call.
If the batter would start to swing and his wrists break or don't break. That's how I learned the rule from 65 years ago.
8:26 - Those uniforms look pretty good! What’s your problem, dude? 🤷♂️
Back in the day I played little league, pony league and HS baseball. We were taught if the pitch is close, swing to protect the plate. Sometimes you fouled it off others you struck out. Players today you have to call the whambulance when they get called out on strikes.
I wonder if an ejected player/manager could threaten to go to the league office or commissioner & get an umpire fired for missed calls
Maybe it's me, but I can't help notice that when these catchers catch the ball, they automatically jerk their gloves up or down.
It's not you. It's an age old "trick" called "framing the pitch". Essentially the catcher is trying to fool the umpire into believing any pitch slightly out of the zone is actually a strike.
India’s face at 10:45 is priceless
what pitcher hits the batter on the first pitch of the game
The marlins with acuna multiple times
I love these videos but I can't stand the voiceovers lmao.
It is unbelievable that ANYBODY can claim surprise that the Marlins' pitcher got tossed there....their broadcast crew just massively embarrassed themselves there....
The uploaders background commentary isn't needed or wanted
They took it from that persons channel so…some people want it. If you enjoy baseball you should check them out they give great rules interpretations. While I’ll agree on these I only want to see the ejections it’s pulled from their channel so nothing we can do about it.
(13:02) What was the batter arguing for? That pitch was completely in the strike zone.
Yeah idk why team fight
Close call sports didnt address the very short fuse of Doug Eddings just Joey Vottot.
15:21 Is it me or is the third base coach a little out of position? 🤔
What about MLB 2021 August ejections?
Players should get 30 seconds to make their argument and walk away, say what they want. It would make baseball soooo much better and eliminate these ridiculous quick trigger ejections, especially since so many of them the umpire engages the conversation based on the players look of objection...paid professionals they can take a 30 second critique of their work and as a fan it would sure make things more exciting!
Close call didn't address the very short fuse of Doug Eddings.
That first ejection with Pablo is f---ing ridiculous
WORD. Holy 💩 on a stick... was that really Pablo's first pitch of the game?!?
@@storyofcory unless there were warnings from the previous game. Who knows
marlins are known to hit acuna so its rlly not
Tony LaRusa he managed the Cardinals for many years
21:23 Tony LaRussa is so old, when David killed Goliath he called the police
I've watched thousands of baseball videos. This has never occurred to me to ask until now. Why is it that baseball is the only professional sport where coaches dress up as if they were players, complete with uniform numbers?
👍
Oh no fired up right now red
Good also
Dude, we don’t need your commentary. Unwatchable
Agree❤
no Joe West? Wow!
the umpire doesn't know he miss the call till after the game is over can the announcers just shut up by believing he knows
Doug Eddings needs to go through a monthly eye exam and social personal skills classes.
Buckner, Hernandez and Davidson clearly need those
“We know Pablo better than anyone else”… hahaha they all say they know a guy better than they know themselves. Announcers are clout chasers just like modern women
Why can't umpires know the strike zone. Seems when they make a horrible call and arguing ensues the umps can't take and get thrown out.
🤣
9:35 haven't seen Pete Davidson so angry
Why is it ok for the umpire to put their hands on the managers but not vis versa. That's not alright
Umpire messed up in Cleveland
I'm with the marlians announcers, he was not intending to hit him on the first pitch of the game
if you could get along you would not need an ump. Call the owner, just call it a day go home, they would not let you win anyway. that will piss off the fans, now they lose money.

Bro who the fuck is talking at 3:20
Badcall😂

Ditch the commentary.
Stop bootlicking for the umpires
Why can’t grown men play baseball the way it’s meant to be played.
No crying no arguing with umpires
Because they have fragile egos 🤷🏿🤦🏿
Bb,,bad call..
It's just clips of emotionally underdeveloped children acting like emotionally underdeveloped children.
Cry
LaRussa and Hallian 2 old guys that belong in the old folks home not on a baseball diamond.
Stop your commentary. Its not needed.
To bad 😮
Please catchers, Stop framing Pitches!!!
Why
John Lipka is a terrible umpire
🤣🤣 he’s ranked one of the best
16:20 How was Rojas not suspended for 2 weeks for acting like that? Not only was he disrespectful, but on the verge of violent. Terrible

These umps are so thin skinned these days 😒
These managers and players get paid millions and still find a way to complain. Still funny when ejections happen, however.
ALL THE UMPIRE CALLS ARE 100% CORRECT, ur opinions are wrong!
