Nah when an umpire does what they did there he needs to be fucking fired. What a joke the two umps were who charged the mound because of their own incompetent calls. These sports leagues really need to start holding their officials accountable.

There is no reason for an official in any sport to escalate a situation. Part of your job is putting up with players jawing at you, and part of your training should have been to learn how to ignore it.
I umpire high school. That slightly high, slightly outside pitch that got Flowers tossed is really tough to call a strike on. It’s the positioning in the slot that makes it tough to call.
Always loved AJ Ellis for standing up for Kersh. Ump may have been right to stop the pitch but he didn’t have to yell or take a step out towards him. Ellis knew it, too.
Oh yeah u see catcher really givin it to em when they running home 😂😂😂 really lower that shoulder😂😂😂 if u wanna see someone protecting something watch football 😂😂
Bryson Strickland. Great idea. I am confused about the strike zone sometimes. One thing we all, players and fans, has a right to expect is steady rules.
That's so true. I only ever played in some 'rec' leagues, but when my catcher would argue the call for me it made me feel great. Especially since they know even better than pitchers if the ball was strike or a ball

Normally I get annoyed at batters arguing strikes cause it leads to ejections but when you have catchers calling you out (umpires). You know it’s time to admit your f***ing up. Even if it’s just to yourself blue.
Catchers have an interesting relationship with the home plate umpire. They are essentially protecting the umpire who is right behind 90+ MPH fastballs. Usually catchers will have a longer leash with Blue.
3:20 he should be banned from the league permanently. Martin just looks at him and he throws him out RIGHT AFTER Stroman. Martin didn’t say anything just looked at him and he’s gone. These umpires think they have the most power in the world and think they’re untouchable. What a disgrace to the game.
Looks like he says “seriously” but I agree. Absolute disgrace to the game for that. In football it’s passion. In basketball it’s passion. In baseball it’s arguing and poor sportsmanship according to these umps.
All that happened there was Stroman was just getting frustrated (he's a hot head let's be honest) the ump thought he said something to him so out goes Stro, Martin calls BS, out goes Martin. A few pitches earlier Gibbons got tossed. Wasnt long after that another umpire starts mouthing off at J.A. Happ on a blown call and there was a great shot of Martin just glaring at him. The umps clearly had something against the jays in 2017.
I like Sniteker's reaction after Flowers finally walks away in the first clip.... just kinda shrugs with a smirk like "idk, you know these kids are these days" lololz
Some of these umps should have been fired. Tossing pitchers out just to diverge from the fact that they are making horrible calls. You are paid to do one thing and when you fail at it you dare to fk up the game for all the players and fans by randomly throwing ppl out
Ever since MLB implemented it's policy of being ejected for arguing balls and strikes many umpires have developed a chip on their shoulder. They instigate arguments with players and immediately throw them out if they say anything at all. Remember the good old days of Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Lou Piniella, etc.?
I wonder if they are ejecting the players because they got a bet on the game or they repaid off. It happened In Basketball. It's not hard to believe. I would like the ump to charge Nolan Ryan, hell get his jaw jacked.

Russelll Martin thrown out three times in this clip. Love it.
Damn these calls got me all kind of pissed off just watching this 🤬
I’m a huge Cardinals fan and even I was pissed when I saw that umpire charge Lester.
Umpires love to grandstand .
:Haha that was great. Nice video!
Can’t wait for the days of robot umps that never make a mistake
The umpires blow the call so their only thing to do is eject somebody
Umpire the only job where you can make a huge mistake and then kick somebody else out for it.
The second one the ump calls time in the middle of pitchers wind up so he stops but in the big leagues if you stop a pitch mid wind up it is considered a ball
The umpire says " Stop looking at me swan!!! "
Some of those umps are absurdly unprofessional. You never instigate an argument with a player. Ridiculous
I would love to see an ump charge the plate against Chapman😂😂
these umps really have that time of the month too
Nobody can “show up”an ump, but an ump can do his strike three ringup dance to show up a hitter
There has to be accountability for these umpires.
Umpire union: Yeah… about that…
SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👍👍👍👍
Last pitch was the biggest strike of em all
Stroman was doing a good hold me back bro, then looked like he was about to or already crying on the walk back to the dugout.
