3:48 One rule is you can't argue ball & strike calls whether they got it right or not. You mouth off too much at the ump about it. Gone! 5:10 making physical contact with an ump is an automatic fine & suspension. I've seen some players put their hands behind their back while arguing to avoid an accidental hit.
There was this one manager the Baltimore Orioles had for many years who had nothing but utter contempt for umpires. His name was Earl Weaver, and he actually got himself ejected from the World Series in 1969 against the New York Mets
The umpires have near total power over the game as it’s being played. there are reviews and appeals available later, but on the day they can decide anything. There’s a famous video from years ago where an ump ejects the organist from the sound booth for playing “3 blind mice” after a bad call
That happened in Fort Myers, the announcer was ejected for playing 3 blind mice. For a few innings there were no announcements of who is up to bat, then the fans started to do the announcement from the stands
You can argue/complain a little bit about some calls, as long as you do it in a quiet and respectful way. However, a player will pretty much always get ejected if he argues about ball/strike calls (you'll see that the great majority of the clips in this video concern arguments over balls and strikes). Also, there are a couple of "magic words" that will always get a player ejected when uttered. In the clip at 9:55, the pitcher was ejected for throwing at the batter. Usually this has to do with a prior conflict between the teams, and while it's sort of a tradition in baseball, the umpires don't allow it. The first pitch went behind him, which was unlikely to have been an accident, but when he hit the batter on the next pitch, it was obvious that it was intentional, and then he got tossed.
Slamming bats and/or helmets is an automatic ejection and fine. A player even faces suspension for doing those things. Arguing balls and strikes is also supposed to be an automatic ejection.. but sometimes umpires will tolerate it from a player as long as you shut up and walk away when they tell you to. If a manager or coach leaves the dugout to argue balls and strikes, they get tossed. When a player or manager is arguing with an umpire, the "magic word" with almost all umpires is "you"... you can say "that was a bullshit call" and the ump will tolerate it. Say "You made a bullshit call" and you're out. They also don't tolerate it much if you question their eyesight. An umpire can also throw a pitcher (and his team's manager) out of the game if he believes the pitcher is trying to hit the batter.
Ways to get ejected in the MLB 1) Unsportsmanlike Conduct 2) Umpire Disagreement 3) Physical Altercation 4) Distractions 5) Leaving the dugout to argue with the umpire 6) Returning to a game after being ejected 7) Applying materials or substances to game equipment 8) Intentionally delaying the game
I am so glad you did this video. I am a large baseball fan. That's my favorite sport. So let me share some knowledge. First, an ejection is disqualification for the rest of the game to the extent that you must leave the field. You have to go back into the clubhouse. Second, A batter may not argue balls and strikes. That is an automatic ejection. If a player throws a bat or a helmet out of anger, that is considered showing up the umpire and it's up to the umpire's discretion to throw the player out for bad sportsmanship. If a pitcher hits a batter the umpire has the discretion to decide whether or not it was intentional. He usually issues a warning to both teams and the next pitcher to hit a batter is ejected, but he may eject a pitcher without a warning if the umpire feels it's warranted. The funny thing is that batters know they are not suppose too argue balls and strikes but they do it anyway and still act shocked when they get thrown out. It is a very entertaining display of random explosive emotion. Thank you so much!!!!!
Hi Courtney, arguing balls/strike calls by the umpires is an automatic ejection, even if the call is horribly wrong. I've been a baseball fan for many years, and I think the umps are much more sensitive now, and are quicker to eject players/coaches than they used to be. If you want to see some great arguments, check out a video of Billy Martin or Lou Pinella. Their tantrums were legendary, one might even say "Insane".
Most pro umpires will tolerate cursing as long as they're not making it personal. You can say "That call was fucking bullshit" and the ump will tolerate it (many videos on youtube where someone has a mic on during an argument)... but say "YOUR call was fucking bullshit" and the ump will toss you out. And it's been kind of a tradition since baseballs early days in the 1870s that if you question an umpire's eyesight you're thrown out of the game. There are umpires who seem to be looking for reasons to toss someone.. but generally they will tolerate cursing as long as you don't make it personal.
One of the major rules in baseball is that neither pitchers nor batters can argue balls and strikes with the umpire. If you do, the umpire can eject you from the game immediately. You CAN inquire to the umpire where that ball was in his opinion. Inquiring about the location sometimes gets umpires second guessing themselves leading to more lenient calls over the next few at bats. Also, focus on the white box on the screen above the home plate. If the ball is NOT in that box, the batter has a serious reason to be angry with the umpire. If the ball is in the box, then it is a strike. Out of the box is a ball.
My home town is only @11,000 but we’ve had 3 MLB umpires and another from the next town 6 miles away. Bill Welke, Tim Welke, Jeff Kellogg and Scott Barry, I know them all and they’re great guys.
Generally, the written rule is that you cannot argue ball and strike calls. Umpires will generally let you get away with some, but the unwritten rule is that you can’t show up the umpire while you are arguing and when the ump tells you that’s enough, the you need to stop. Also cannot throw equipment.
Proof of fines for ejections: Tim Anderson APR 3 2022 Suspended 2 games for Physical contact with an umpire against Detroit (DET), forfeiting $102,150 in 2022 salary with Chicago (CWS) and Fined $10,000 Physical contact with an umpire against Detroit (DET); Joey Votto JUN 22 2021 Suspended 1 game for arguing balls/strikes, forfeiting $134,409 in 2021 salary with Cincinnati (CIN) and MAY 8 2015 Suspended 1 game for making contact with an umpire, forfeiting $76,502 in 2015 salary with Cincinnati (CIN) Most suspensions and fines I found were for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs).
The player at 9:56 got tossed out of the game because he threw the ball near the batter twice. After the second time, the ump tossed him. Umps can toss anyone out of the game, and even the people in the stands watching the game.
From my knowledge if you say to the umpire "that's a horsesh&t call" You will be okay. But if you personalize it "YOU made a horsesh&t call". That's an ejection right there.
Hi Courtney... In Major League Baseball, you cannot argue with the umpire about the following: Ball or strike, fair or foul ball, safe or out. Arguing any of these is by rule cause for automatic ejection. Having said that, the umpires will very often let the player or manager have their say if they are doing it in a respectful manner and are not openly "showing up" the umpire. In these videos, the players have crossed the line and are ejected for the remainder of the game. They cannot stay on the bench. They have to go back to the locker room.
They are often saying things that are degrading and insulting to the umpire. Usually they are saying something vulgar. That's why they are ejected. You cannot be free to degrade and humiliate the umpires or referees. They are human beings also.
If you get a base hit 3 out of 10 times at bat you're considered a good hitter (batter) in other words, if you make 7 outs and get 3 hits from 10 at bats, your batting average is .333 which is very good. Keeping all that in mind, when a batter is called out on strikes on a pitch that wasn't a strike he gets pissed. It's hard enough to get on base when you hit the ball, and now the umpire calls you out when you know that pitch wasn't a strike. The batter is intense looking for the pitch he can hit and get on base. He'll let pitches go by even when they're a strike because he either was expecting a curve ball and got a fastball which he wouldn't be able to catch up to or he just didn't like the location. Courtney I hope I didn't confuse you more. I have an opinion about umpires but I keep it nice. You're right some of them are on a power trip.
Another detail, a sort of unwritten rule, is that players get the especially short leash. Managers are allowed a little more leeway up to a certain point, but players talking back or complaining is usually dealt with harshly.
Challenging balls and strikes will get you kicked out of a game. You can ask where a pitch was, but you can't challenge an umpire. This is pretty rare, but this video is a compilation from a number of years.
The one thing that will get you tossed out of the game faster than anything is arguing with the umpire over balls and strikes. It’s just tradition you don’t do it unless you’re willing to get thrown out to make a statement about how poorly the umpire is calling the game.
Well you're allowed to say to say you're peace and walk away But most of them don't The rule says you cannot argue balls and strikes Be careful out there
In the days before instant replay it happened a lot! Say the wrong thing to an umpire and you're out. Never touch an umpire or there are dire consequences. Arguing balls and strikes gets you tossed and so will slamming down equipment like bats and helmets.
The guy who slammed his helmet that hit the umpire was suspended for several games. The white box on the screen is the strike zone. A solid circle means in the zone and a hollow circle means outside the zone. There's a fine for the ejection but usually if you don't use abusive language or intentionally bump the umpire that's as far as it goes. A lot of umpires are just power hungry individuals looking for problems. They are very thin skinned and can't handle any criticism. There is replay in baseball but balls and strikes are not reviewable. Some managers will get themselves thrown out with an "argument" to fire up a struggling team. I've noticed some of the more mild mannered players have the angriest ejections.
Hi Courtney!! :) another good reaction vid of this MLB Angriest Ejections Ever I remember I was at a baseball game & saw this guy broke his bat because he got ejected out of the game that was crazy & out of control of him to do. anyways I like ur hair Courtney :) looking beautiful as always :)
Baseball official rules are that you can't argue "balls and strikes." Generally speaking though, each of these players were thrown out by the home plate umpire, not just for arguing alone because some of that is tolerated, but how they argued the umpire decision.
Rule 8.02(c) Comment states: Players leaving their position in the field or on base, or managers or coaches leaving the bench or coaches box, to argue on BALLS AND STRIKES will not be permitted. They should be warned if they start for the plate to protest the call. If they continue, they will be ejected from the game. MLB Rules Committee Chair Sandy Alderson said that thanks to instant replay, "there's nothing to argue about anymore!" He wants to legalize the ball/strike argument and allow managers to argue umpire pitch calls from the dugout and beyond, putting forth a proposal while citing baseball's status as an entertainment option, and the theatre of ejections and good old fashioned umpire-skipper rhubarbs, as his rationale. As umpires know, this brand of bench-jockeying can distract from the game at hand and, in line with general sports psychology theory, can breed further unsportsmanlike actions as both teams lose focus on the task at hand and begin taking aim at each other. As such, where would the line be drawn on ball/strike disputes? Is opponent pitch framing fair game?
Yeah of all the things that'll get you ejected the quickest, it's arguing balls and strikes with the umpire even if you don't cuss at him. For some reason that is the biggest no-no rule and the quickest way to hit the showers in seconds.
Calling balls and strikes is a judgement call made by the home plate umpire sometimes it goes one way or the other a lot of times when a player or manager argues a call it's because the HUP(Home Plate Umpire) is inconsistent with the calls.
Every ump has a different level of fuse. Most good umpires will let the players get their frustration off their chest, but depending what is said and how it’s said. Also no umpire likes to be “shown up”. If a player wants to just voice their frustration most umps are fine with that, but as soon as you make a big show out of it you will get thrown out. The vast majority of ejections don’t result in any fines or suspensions. Only really happens if a player makes physical contact with an ump which is very rare
Most umpires will allow a little bit of backtalk from players depending on the situation, but as soon as a player or coach crosses the line the umps have total authority to eject them. Arguing with the umpires is absolutely part of the game though so there’s never any further consequences, unless the player or coach made physical contact with the ump. That is the ultimate baseball no-no and will absolutely get that player or coach a suspension
Players have some leeway when arguing with the umpires, but you can't argue balls and strikes. You can't throw equipment. Many fans know who Angel Hernandez is. The worst ump ever. Could not tell a ball from a strike to save his life.
Courtney. It’s mostly balls and strikes. If you want to know the strike zone. It’s the width of the plate and it goes from the letters on the jersey to your knees. Every strike zone is different but umpires like angle have the most stupidest strike zones ever
The greatest baseball movie of all time (Bull Durham) explains the most common reason for ejections, calling the umpire one particular name. th-cam.com/video/8olTfKZnFiM/w-d-xo.html
In the MLB, you cannot argue balls and strikes. Like, at all. Even when the umpire’s call is wrong, which many of these calls were, you still get ejected for arguing, even if your argument is legitimate. Having a replay on balls and strikes has been a debate for a good while. If most umpires were consistent with their calls, there’d be less ejections/arguments.
Then why do players argue balls and strikes in the first place? Is it competitive fire, or frustration over a bad call/multiple calls? It seems like a bad idea because you're losing focus by arguing with the umpire over a bad pitch.
@@g-manonthego6678 you got it exactly right. Frustration boils over and that’s how the arguments start. Also, sometimes the umpires call is so bad, the fact that they made a call that is obviously wrong is a quick way to make a player explode
@@Ryandrew107 it's still a bad idea to argue balls and strikes in the first place, because as a baseball player, part your job is to battle through tough calls, not lose focus and complain to the ump for missing a few calls. It's still hilarious that even a few bad calls is enough to make players explode in anger.
Players cannot argue about balls and strikes, doing so often gets them ejected. And curse words are a big no-no as well. Players cannot touch the umps at all. If they do, it is an automatic fine and ejection. Managers can argue more but the same rule apply.
From what I’ve noticed after following baseball a long time, umpires seem to have paper-thin skin. They do not like being told that they’re wrong, especially when it comes to ball and strike calls. There’s an umpire in MLB named Angel Hernandez who has a good case for being the worst umpire in history, and he’s probably the biggest baby, too. He constantly makes bad calls and can’t handle criticism at all (he was the umpire in the first clip). In fact, his Wikipedia page has a whole section dedicated to his bad calls. You should look him up if you get the chance.
Umpires can eject anyone from the game, even spectators, though that's a rare occurrence. And you can't touch an umpire but longtime coach and manager Leo Durocher raised kicking dirt on their shoes to a high art.
Its never okay to throw equipment recklessly. Bsts, balls, helmets, teammates...all bad ideas. The only exception is tossing the bat aside after a hit, then you have to because if a hitter is holding the bat when he/she touches first base, that's an out. The pitcher that threw behind the batter then hit the batter was ejected because he was being dangerous. Whether his aim was off from being out of a tion (the announcer speak of his return) or he was delivering some kind of message...he could have gotten away with one of those pitches, accidents happen, but not two in a row with bad placement. The clip cuts off rather fast, but I think the catcher also got booted for argiung on the pitcher's behalf.
With Angel H. umpiring home plate I'd love to see a batter come up to bat with a pair of Harry Carey glasses on. The guy is either blind, incompetent, or just plain does it on purpose.
In all sports, at all levels, officials are like your mother or your partner...they are always right, even when they are wrong they are right. Protest means only the answer "Why, because I said so." I have worked more than 67,000 sports events in a multitude of sports. Have I seen officials make glaring errors, of course, but that is what the call was.
In major league baseball, only the manager can argue about an umpire's call .Should the player involved attempt to do so he will be ejected/thrown out.
Stroman and Russell were ejected because they got upset about the walk (aka 4 balls) call. Guess the ump heard what he was saying over the crowd or at the very least read his lips.
Yeap, when the umpire waves his arm deliberately like that, that means you're out of the game...you can get tossed for challenging when there is no challenge to be made, or for acting blatantly out of line, etc.
I'm not 100% sure if you get fined for getting kicked out of a game. I do know that you get fined if you hit an umpire even on accident. Like the dude that slammed his helmet down and it bounced and hit the umpire. He definitely got fined for that.
Dear Courtney, once you've been tossed, they can't do anything more to you, so, as 1 baseball mom once told me, you may as well get your money's worth....
If you're not familiar with the game, this video's edits won't help with understanding. There's many reasons to get ejected and some narration or caption in explanations would help. Also, umpires can throw out fans, employees, almost anyone in the stadium.
Most of these outbursts are completely justified. Watch bad calls balls and strikes edition and you’ll understand the frustrations of these players. Also it’s umpire, not referee.
I have seen umpires try to eject a fan. The only people they don't eject are one another, they believe anyone else is fair game. Umps have tossed batters who are walking away, and even players in the dugout. Its way, way too easy for the umps. But you can never argue a ball/strike cal. You will never get the call changes sn ejection is guaranteed l Usually the manager tries to get in between player and umpire so he, the msnager, takes the ejection, and the player stays in the game. Players are fined if they make any physical contact withe ump, which includes if the player's hat brom touches the brim of the umpire's hat. Of course that is overlooked if the player is helping the umpire after something like being hit by a pitch. But umps can contact players whenever they please.
One of these days a player is going to go bat S*** crazy on an umpire because of the bad calls. Yes I know that player will be arrested and never will be able to play baseball again.
When a player or manager gets ejected, they have to leave the field and head into the locker room. If the ejected man refuses to leave, then his team will automatically forfeit that game regardless of the actual score
@@maxwellharris507 it was John Gibbons with the blue jays, he got ejected, later in the game there was a brawl (the one where Odor punched Bautista) he ran back out on the field to check on his players, got a $5,000 fine and a 3 game suspension.
In baseball a player or manager is not to question balls and strikes but in the modern MLB the umpires have injected themselves in the game. I would call it the new woke. In the old days wouldn't throw players or managers out of a game so quickly.
Let's be real - these guys make more money than they'll ever need, for playing a child's game; I don't have alot of sympathy for their hurt feelings. And yes, I played lots of ball in my day - never saw temper tantrums like this
courtney also agruing balls and strikes will get you tossed or ejected as for your question fines your allowed to jaw at the ump after getting tossed or ejected if you bump touch the umpire that can be fines suspiontion or both
You learn from little league that you don't argue with the umpire about balls and strikes. If you throw your bat or helmet you should be thrown out anpd if you swear at the umpire you're asking to be thrown out
One of the umpires in the video is Angel Hernandez, and he’s notorious for making horrible calls
At his worst, Joe West was a better ump and that’s damn horrible. 🤣
And that is a huge Understatement
3:48 One rule is you can't argue ball & strike calls whether they got it right or not. You mouth off too much at the ump about it. Gone!

Earl Weaver
@@timgilbert9996 Earl was fun to watch get tossed
Yep, I was just going to add Earl Weaver, but you beat me to it. :)
Larry Bowa was something too when he was manager for the Phillies
George Brett's pine tar incident is classic. You should check out that ejection.
I wasn’t born when that happened, but whenever I look back at that footage, I still think it is one of the worst calls in MLB history
There’s no arguing balls and strikes
3:44 its not that you can’t talk back
The big reasons that most ejections occur is what is said. Most of the time it is because the player cusses AT the umpire!
Sometimes you can get thrown out of a game just for saying a cuss word to the ump or even the wrong cuss word that the ump doesn't like.
Most pro umpires will tolerate cursing as long as they're not making it personal. You can say "That call was fucking bullshit" and the ump will tolerate it (many videos on youtube where someone has a mic on during an argument)... but say "YOUR call was fucking bullshit" and the ump will toss you out.

Most suspensions and fines I found were for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs).
2:50 I don't get why he was out. You're allowed to overun first base, is it because he didn't step outside the foul line?
Players are on a short leash.
The player at 9:56 got tossed out of the game because he threw the ball near the batter twice. After the second time, the ump tossed him. Umps can toss anyone out of the game, and even the people in the stands watching the game.
5:03 if you touch them
From my knowledge if you say to the umpire "that's a horsesh&t call" You will be okay. But if you personalize it "YOU made a horsesh&t call". That's an ejection right there.
A lot of it is theatre to inspire your team, put the umpire on notice, and the coaches who intervene are showing their players they have their back
Some players gripe at the umpire almost all through the game, and when the ump gets tired of the griping he throws him out of the game.
It's been so long since I watched baseball. I used to love watching Tommy Lasorda go at it with the Umps.

A solid circle means in the zone and a hollow circle means outside the zone. There's a fine for the ejection but usually if you don't use abusive language or intentionally bump the umpire that's as far as it goes. A lot of umpires are just power hungry individuals looking for problems. They are very thin skinned and can't handle any criticism.
There is replay in baseball but balls and strikes are not reviewable. Some managers will get themselves thrown out with an "argument" to fire up a struggling team. I've noticed some of the more mild mannered players have the angriest ejections.
Hi Courtney!! :) another good reaction vid of this MLB Angriest Ejections Ever I remember I was at a baseball game & saw this guy broke his bat because he got ejected out of the game that was crazy & out of control of him to do. anyways I like ur hair Courtney :) looking beautiful as always :)
Baseball official rules are that you can't argue "balls and strikes." Generally speaking though, each of these players were thrown out by the home plate umpire, not just for arguing alone because some of that is tolerated, but how they argued the umpire decision.
Well, with each team playing 162 games during a regular season, an ejection now and then....
Rule 8.02(c) Comment states:
Players leaving their position in the field or on base, or managers or coaches leaving the bench or coaches box, to argue on BALLS AND STRIKES will not be permitted. They should be warned if they start for the plate to protest the call. If they continue, they will be ejected from the game.
MLB Rules Committee Chair Sandy Alderson said that thanks to instant replay, "there's nothing to argue about anymore!" He wants to legalize the ball/strike argument and allow managers to argue umpire pitch calls from the dugout and beyond, putting forth a proposal while citing baseball's status as an entertainment option, and the theatre of ejections and good old fashioned umpire-skipper rhubarbs, as his rationale.
As umpires know, this brand of bench-jockeying can distract from the game at hand and, in line with general sports psychology theory, can breed further unsportsmanlike actions as both teams lose focus on the task at hand and begin taking aim at each other.
As such, where would the line be drawn on ball/strike disputes? Is opponent pitch framing fair game?
Not allowed to argue balls and strikes…little tolerance
Umpires have way to much power in the MLB and it's been a problem for a very long time and only gets worse by the season.
players get fines when either they touch the umpire or a piece of their equipment does
Greatest angry rejections ever? But the don't have the George Brett Pine Tar game. The most famous ejection of them all.
Yeah of all the things that'll get you ejected the quickest, it's arguing balls and strikes with the umpire even if you don't cuss at him. For some reason that is the biggest no-no rule and the quickest way to hit the showers in seconds.
"eejiction" New Zealander for ejection. Thanks for the reaction
Calling balls and strikes is a judgement call made by the home plate umpire sometimes it goes one way or the other a lot of times when a player or manager argues a call it's because the HUP(Home Plate Umpire) is inconsistent with the calls.
Every ump has a different level of fuse. Most good umpires will let the players get their frustration off their chest, but depending what is said and how it’s said. Also no umpire likes to be “shown up”. If a player wants to just voice their frustration most umps are fine with that, but as soon as you make a big show out of it you will get thrown out.
The vast majority of ejections don’t result in any fines or suspensions. Only really happens if a player makes physical contact with an ump which is very rare
Most umpires will allow a little bit of backtalk from players depending on the situation, but as soon as a player or coach crosses the line the umps have total authority to eject them. Arguing with the umpires is absolutely part of the game though so there’s never any further consequences, unless the player or coach made physical contact with the ump. That is the ultimate baseball no-no and will absolutely get that player or coach a suspension
Players have some leeway when arguing with the umpires, but you can't argue balls and strikes. You can't throw equipment. Many fans know who Angel Hernandez is. The worst ump ever. Could not tell a ball from a strike to save his life.
The are, you cannot argue balls and strikes. Never throw your equipment- automatic your gone
Courtney. It’s mostly balls and strikes. If you want to know the strike zone. It’s the width of the plate and it goes from the letters on the jersey to your knees. Every strike zone is different but umpires like angle have the most stupidest strike zones ever
The greatest baseball movie of all time (Bull Durham) explains the most common reason for ejections, calling the umpire one particular name.

In the MLB, you cannot argue balls and strikes. Like, at all. Even when the umpire’s call is wrong, which many of these calls were, you still get ejected for arguing, even if your argument is legitimate. Having a replay on balls and strikes has been a debate for a good while. If most umpires were consistent with their calls, there’d be less ejections/arguments.
Then why do players argue balls and strikes in the first place? Is it competitive fire, or frustration over a bad call/multiple calls? It seems like a bad idea because you're losing focus by arguing with the umpire over a bad pitch.
@@g-manonthego6678 you got it exactly right. Frustration boils over and that’s how the arguments start. Also, sometimes the umpires call is so bad, the fact that they made a call that is obviously wrong is a quick way to make a player explode
@@Ryandrew107 it's still a bad idea to argue balls and strikes in the first place, because as a baseball player, part your job is to battle through tough calls, not lose focus and complain to the ump for missing a few calls. It's still hilarious that even a few bad calls is enough to make players explode in anger.
@@g-manonthego6678 you are correct. Not everyone argues. Just when it’s really bad. It’s not a frequent thing. Most do just walk away.
Umpires have been throwing games for money for years. They do whatever they can to line their pockets.
I remember when David Ortiz once got ejected he went back to the dugout and destroyed the phone in the dugout.
th-cam.com/video/OXIN2qRgL7w/w-d-xo.html
Players cannot argue about balls and strikes, doing so often gets them ejected. And curse words are a big no-no as well. Players cannot touch the umps at all. If they do, it is an automatic fine and ejection. Managers can argue more but the same rule apply.
Where's Charlie Manuel. He's gotta have the record for as coach getting ejected.
From what I’ve noticed after following baseball a long time, umpires seem to have paper-thin skin. They do not like being told that they’re wrong, especially when it comes to ball and strike calls. There’s an umpire in MLB named Angel Hernandez who has a good case for being the worst umpire in history, and he’s probably the biggest baby, too. He constantly makes bad calls and can’t handle criticism at all (he was the umpire in the first clip). In fact, his Wikipedia page has a whole section dedicated to his bad calls. You should look him up if you get the chance.
Surprised nobody has decked an umpire
I've know many parents who've been ejected from their kids' Little League games. Mostly because they are a little emotional about their kids.
College Football season is back and watch Alabama vs Texas, and Baylor Vs BYU
Umpires can eject anyone from the game, even spectators, though that's a rare occurrence. And you can't touch an umpire but longtime coach and manager Leo Durocher raised kicking dirt on their shoes to a high art.
Its never okay to throw equipment recklessly. Bsts, balls, helmets, teammates...all bad ideas. The only exception is tossing the bat aside after a hit, then you have to because if a hitter is holding the bat when he/she touches first base, that's an out.
The pitcher that threw behind the batter then hit the batter was ejected because he was being dangerous. Whether his aim was off from being out of a tion (the announcer speak of his return) or he was delivering some kind of message...he could have gotten away with one of those pitches, accidents happen, but not two in a row with bad placement. The clip cuts off rather fast, but I think the catcher also got booted for argiung on the pitcher's behalf.
With Angel H. umpiring home plate I'd love to see a batter come up to bat with a pair of Harry Carey glasses on. The guy is either blind, incompetent, or just plain does it on purpose.
In all sports, at all levels, officials are like your mother or your partner...they are always right, even when they are wrong they are right. Protest means only the answer "Why, because I said so." I have worked more than 67,000 sports events in a multitude of sports. Have I seen officials make glaring errors, of course, but that is what the call was.
Throw the Umps out of this game, we have cameras.
In major league baseball, only the manager can argue about an umpire's call .Should the player involved attempt to do so he will be ejected/thrown out.
WHY,why are these Umps given Godly passes.
Stroman and Russell were ejected because they got upset about the walk (aka 4 balls) call. Guess the ump heard what he was saying over the crowd or at the very least read his lips.
Yeap, when the umpire waves his arm deliberately like that, that means you're out of the game...you can get tossed for challenging when there is no challenge to be made, or for acting blatantly out of line, etc.
sometimes the umps are tossing the fans.
I'm not 100% sure if you get fined for getting kicked out of a game. I do know that you get fined if you hit an umpire even on accident. Like the dude that slammed his helmet down and it bounced and hit the umpire. He definitely got fined for that.
Theater + broken egos.
Dear Courtney, once you've been tossed, they can't do anything more to you, so, as 1 baseball mom once told me, you may as well get your money's worth....
cant argue balls and strikes...auto ejection
Not all ejections end with a fine. But touching, spitting or brushing the umpire will get one. Also throwing the bat.
Courtney It's not just talking back it's calling them a f ing.. every other word is fu
If you're not familiar with the game, this video's edits won't help with understanding. There's many reasons to get ejected and some narration or caption in explanations would help. Also, umpires can throw out fans, employees, almost anyone in the stadium.
Most of these outbursts are completely justified. Watch bad calls balls and strikes edition and you’ll understand the frustrations of these players. Also it’s umpire, not referee.
It's a referee. LoL
Best manager ejections needs to be next: th-cam.com/video/e3IXDSJYSPU/w-d-xo.html 😁
I have seen umpires try to eject a fan. The only people they don't eject are one another, they believe anyone else is fair game. Umps have tossed batters who are walking away, and even players in the dugout. Its way, way too easy for the umps.
But you can never argue a ball/strike cal. You will never get the call changes sn ejection is guaranteed l
Usually the manager tries to get in between player and umpire so he, the msnager, takes the ejection, and the player stays in the game. Players are fined if they make any physical contact withe ump, which includes if the player's hat brom touches the brim of the umpire's hat. Of course that is overlooked if the player is helping the umpire after something like being hit by a pitch. But umps can contact players whenever they please.
One of these days a player is going to go bat S*** crazy on an umpire because of the bad calls. Yes I know that player will be arrested and never will be able to play baseball again.
You should react to mlb coach ejections
Baseball umps are the saddest weakest people in the sports world. They can throw anyone at any time.
I love it!
You can be fined (& ejected) for touching the officials (among other things). Suspensions are also possible.
It's the same in every sport though you can't touch the ref or ump or you will get punished.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld yep. That's a general rule, but I was speaking more specifically about baseball. But thank you, Pepper Brooks.
MLB umpires are so much worse at their jobs than officials of other sports in my opinion. I heard the MLB is going to go with an automated approach
Nah NFL refs are worse than MLB umps you can even say NBA refs are worse.
Welcome to the big leagues.
When a player or manager gets ejected, they have to leave the field and head into the locker room. If the ejected man refuses to leave, then his team will automatically forfeit that game regardless of the actual score
omg whaaaat :O surely that doesn't happen often
@@CourtneyCoulston It’s in the regulations.
I dont recall ever seeing that happen. I did see one case of a manager who came back after being ejected, he got a suspension and fine for it.
@@marcpower4167 wearing a disguise?
@@maxwellharris507 it was John Gibbons with the blue jays, he got ejected, later in the game there was a brawl (the one where Odor punched Bautista) he ran back out on the field to check on his players, got a $5,000 fine and a 3 game suspension.
these angry ejections are about the most exciting seconds in an otherwise very boring game.
In baseball a player or manager is not to question balls and strikes but in the modern MLB the umpires have injected themselves in the game. I would call it the new woke. In the old days wouldn't throw players or managers out of a game so quickly.
Yes , they get fine , when they get ejected
...and ejections are *always* for the remainder of the game...
And you can't touch the Empire.
It's umps.want the spot light
Let's be real - these guys make more money than they'll ever need, for playing a child's game; I don't have alot of sympathy for their hurt feelings. And yes, I played lots of ball in my day - never saw temper tantrums like this
courtney also agruing balls and strikes will get you tossed or ejected as for your question fines your allowed to jaw at the ump after getting tossed or ejected if you bump touch the umpire that can be fines suspiontion or both
You learn from little league that you don't argue with the umpire about balls and strikes. If you throw your bat or helmet you should be thrown out anpd if you swear at the umpire you're asking to be thrown out
Yeah youre not really allowed to argue balls and strikes. Also throwing the helmet can get you ejected
