When the announcers are watching the replay, in slow-mo and zoomed in on the play, and they say "That was really close" - then it's not an awful call by an ump trying to make split decisions from a possibly bad angle.
Can't agree more. Can't catch everything, and a lot of them are very close calls. Going to get a few of them wrong every now and then. Don't hear many people praising all the right calls 99% of armchair ump/referees would completely miss in real time that these officials make multiple times every single day.
0:08 - Probably was a little low but it wasn't egregiously bad, even the graphic makes it look pretty close. I'll call it bad. 0:31 - It does look like his foot comes off the bag for a second, but I think Wright's foot may have blocked the umpire from being able to see it since it only came off for a very brief moment. Don't think you can call this a bad call. 0:48 - Yeah, bad safe call, but the fielders didn't do themselves any favors by crowding the bag and making it harder to tell who was on the bag and who wasn't. 1:00 - Right at the beginning of the clip you see the pitcher start to move his glove as though he's going to come set and then stop. Textbook balk, 100% correct call. 1:35 - Batter or Runner Interference. It is interference by a batter or a runner when:(5) Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate (see Rule 6.01(j)) Martinez walking where he was impeded the play being made on the runner attempting to score, which is textbook interference, and since Martinez was just put out, the runner is out. 100% correct call. 1:52 - Looks like in the umpire's judgement, the fielder had possession of the ball and only lost it after the runner made contact and shook his foot to knock it out. It's not really clear whether he ever had full possesion but I don't think you can call this a bad call. 1:57 - Yeah, looks like a missed strike, but it's a borderline pitch. 2:15 - No play is shown so you can't tell what they're arguing about, but since it's a pitcher, it's probably balls and strikes, and arguing balls and strikes is explicitly against the rules, so the umpire is right to tell him to get off the field and back to the dugout. 2:28 - That pitch was clearly off the plate and was called a ball. 100% correct call. 2:50 - This definitely looks like obstruction rather than interference, so the runner should have been awarded 2nd base. Bad call. 3:13 - The pitch hit the batter but the batter swung. HP ump should have gotten help on that one. Bad call. 3:25 - Bumgarner gets the ball and tags Wong before he gets to the base. 100% correct out call. 3:38 - The foot comes off the bag so the runner should be safe, but the umpire is in the correct position to make this call and that specific angle wouldn't show the umpire the foot coming off. Can't call this one a bad call, just an unfortunate angle. Looks like it was corrected on replay. 4:06 - Same play as the last one but with the opposite result. I can see Rizzo's extreme stretch making it look like he came off the bag there from the angle that the umpire has. Also can't call it a bad call. 4:14 - Yeah, he missed the tag. Bad call. 4:42 - It does look like this ball hit the ground after being foul tipped, but only when you see the extreme slow motion camera view. At full speed it looks like the catcher comes up with it, plus the umpire is BEHIND the catcher instead of in front. Can't call this a bad call. 4:52 - This is really borderline. It's umpire's judgment whether the ball comes out as a "voluntary release", in which case it's a catch, or if it's dropped accidentally, in which case it's not. I can see this call going either way. 5:16 - Looks like he got the tag on him. Bad call. 5:22 - This play is a mess and without seeing the full play and final ruling we can't tell whether the call was bad or not. What I THINK happened was that the home plate umpire ruled that it hit the batter after hitting the bat, since he's putting his hands up as if he's calling a foul ball. 5:44 - The runner seems to veer at least 3 feet away from his established path to avoid the tag from the fielder. Looks like a good call to me. 6:06 - Umpire missed the ball hitting the batter's back leg. Bad call. 6:25 - This was so close I couldn't tell until I slowed down the TH-cam video to 0.25x speed that the ball beat the runner. Definitely could see this one going either way. 6:32 - The ball hits the plate and is fielded in fair territory. That's a fair ball. 100% correct call. 6:52 - Pitcher spins to throw to first and then doesn't actually throw. Textbook balk, 100% correct call. 7:19 - I thought the ball clipped part of his uniform sleeve, which DOES count as a hit batsman. If so, 100% correct call. 7:37 - The replay makes it look like he beat the throw. 100% correct call. 7:54 - The runner at 1st base interferes with the 1st baseman trying to make a play on the pop up. By rule, that runner is out for interference, the ball is dead, and the batter is awarded 1st base. 100% correct call. All in all, there are 27 plays in this video. Of those, 10 of them were 100% correct, 9 were bang-bang plays or so close they could have gone either way, 6 were actually bad, and one of them we didn't have the full play so we never saw the final ruling, so we don't know whether it was bad or not. Hardly a good case that the umpires are "awful"
The balk at 1:00 is him signaling to go through the signs again, you can see as soon as he does it the catcher starts to give signs. It wasn’t as obvious of a motion as it should have been and the way he holds his glove under his chin doesn’t help but it’s not a balk. He hadn’t made a motion to come set or start a windup.
Is it just me, or were most of these not actually "awful umpiring"? Some of them may have been the wrong call, but almost all of them seemed like they were very close, could have been called either way, kind of plays.
Yeah I would say that 90% of this video was legit. There was the one strike at the very start and the 2 umps antagonizing the players that were the only things that fit this video.
i love the energy on this video, just a lot of really bad calls mixed in with good calls that the editor disagrees with for no discernable reason. absolute chad
3:19 he is out because the fielder has the ball in his glove and tagged him. If the fielder didn’t have the ball it would have been interference. So it was a good call by the umps
@@B-RYE81 but he had the ball so if he tags him he’s out and if he didn’t have the ball that would be interference. I play first base so I know this rule all to well. It’s just like the home plate the catcher will be called interference if he does not have the ball the the runner get there
My guy, there were so many good calls made in this video. Also, some of the calls made that were possibly wrong were really close, even in slow motion. Lmao, if there was a compilation for bad baseball compilations, you'd make up most of the video.
@@ghillepig2 its not hard u have a zone that is a strike if its in it and a ball if its out of it. But umps dont care they make up the strike zone of their own all the time caise they think the fans cone to the games to watch them ump
@@eddiesonneborn8184 okay I'd love to see you behind the plate watching a 100mph pitch that is on the line and one team is screaming strike and one time screaming ball, obviously there are times where they make blatantly bad calls but they do have a very hard job
True....the player was being an ass too. Be classy and go to your dugout and don't argue with the umpire. They ain't changing the call and if the ump is truly an ass, he will remember it on the next call involving the player. Nothing good ever comes from arguing with he ump.
These videos piece together the miniscule percentage of calls that are "missed"by umpires (some of these weren't missed) and give the perception that umpires are inept and miss calls all the time. That's just not true. Everybody hates officials. Howevet, without them, it's just practice.
Usually enjoy Baseball Sports videos but this one had too many short clips in it. I prefer less clips with more commentary from the announcers. Overall, this is a good channel for baseball themes.
At 6:27 , that was a bang bang play. Real time at full speed that look like a tie, and ty goes to the runner. Replay can show different but that's not awful umpiring. That's a judgment call.
5:55 is the correct call. The ball hit him yes but since he swung it’s considered the third strike. The ball isn’t dead and it wasn’t caught so it’s a drop third strike technically. There were a few more that were correct or extremely close but that one is really bothering me.
I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that it's a dead ball if you swing and the ball hits you. But yeah it's weird that some correct calls (such as 1:00) are in this video
If anyone sees this I would like a second opinion the play at around 6:08 is that actually the correct way because it hit him but was on a swing meaning it was actually just a strike?
This is mislabled. Most of these were shown to be the RIGHT calls, not bad calls at all. This is not fair to umpires because they are right many more times than they are wrong. Occasionally, yes, the make a bad one, but not nearly as much as people think.
This is the reason why I think we need to rely on lasers to make strike and ball calls, the umpires are too corrupt and make too many mistakes to rely on making the right calls! Otherwise, most of the strike and ball calls almost always favor big market teams, such as the Yankees and Dodgers!
Meh, MANY of these are not "awful umpiring." In fact, many of them are the correct call. That one where Hernandez was complaining about ball 4, that was definitely outside.
How does this video NOT have more dislikes than likes? More than half of these calls were in no way awful... Some of the calls are based on a possibly bad sight angle from the umpire and having to make a call based on something happening in fractions of a fraction of a second.
The ball hit the batter when he swung meaning that it's a strikeout and a dead ball. The ump didn't see the ball hit him so the runner reached on a dropped 3rd strike
It’s not a bad call, he swung, so the fact that it hit him doesn’t matter. The call is a dropped third strike, it’s the right call. It only would e been a bad call if it was fouled and the ump didn’t notice.
@@benjamint.reynolds8208 You could not be more wrong. The ball is always dead when a pitch hits the batter. It is a strike and a dead ball. It is not a dropped third strike and he cannot run to first.
@@alanhess9306I most definitely could be more wrong like this: The puck hit the pitcher while he was kicking the goal, which should result in a touchdown! But in all seriousness, yes you are right, I got my rules mixed up.
How about the Detroit game where the ump called a batter safe at 1st, he was out by a lot, which ruined a perfect game for the pitcher on the 27th batter.
Almost every single one of these was either the actual right call or "the umpire is not all knowing." They are subject to missing things based on angles and obstruction of view. Only a couple of these are actually awful calls.
Honestly the one where the guy comes off the bag should be safe, it’s obvious he would have stayed on if the third baseman wouldn’t have pushed his leg off using his glove
Umps: The pitcher can’t breath funny to trick the batter or runner with what he’s going to do. That’s a balk. Also umps: Yeah, basemen can fake throw the ball to get the runner to step off the bag.
yea almost all of these calls are just the plays themselves which are very hard to call, and then they get overturned asfter they have time to review them. (being an umpire is waaaay harder than it looks, most people sturggle with little league)
Great video I loved it but I felt like some weren’t actually awful umpires some were just making close calls in the heat of the moment. No hate to you in fact it was a great video but I feel like some just actually weren’t awful.
When the announcer says “looks like they got it right”, I think that disqualifies it as awful umpiring 😂
The pic in the thumbnail is incredibly misleading as well. Seems like this channel is just trash.
A lot of these were actually really good calls.
Some of these are the right calls, most of these are insanely close calls, didnt see anything that would qualify as awful ump'ing

Completely agree. The announcers get full of themselves after the benefit of numerous replay angles
It’s tuff for umpires to see the play just give some respect they work hard
Yeppers
And I feel bad for those umps because what ever decision they make it’s going to piss of one of the teams

@2:27 -- Ball four walk. Batter upset. The pitch tracker shows 4 pitches that were clearly off the plate or outside the zone. *shrugs*
Chip the ball, get rid of umpires, join the 21st century.
Almost every single one of these was either the actual right call or "the umpire is not all knowing." They are subject to missing things based on angles and obstruction of view. Only a couple of these are actually awful calls.
Some of those calls should be properly reviewed, why did they not check it, that's surprising
The thumbnail one was the right call. Dude just stomped on his glove
These are mostly good calls
“Let’s get some ice for the shirt” 7:20
Half the time. The umps are on the wrong side of the play but they’re too arrogant to admit they couldn’t see anything!
7:19 have to get some ice for that shirt
What happened at 1:06 I don’t u deter and that call
I honestly feel bad for Adrian Beltre when he got walked. Honestly he said to feel bad because Felix is his friend and has to take the base.
at 2:29 he was not safe put it in slow motion and he took his foot off and the guy tag him.
Is there instant replay to correct the mistake?
Honestly the one where the guy comes off the bag should be safe, it’s obvious he would have stayed on if the third baseman wouldn’t have pushed his leg off using his glove
Cardinals have gotten screwed out of more post season outs than most teams combined. Cost them 2 World Seties
true they do always get fucked on calls
3:26 the runner gets tagged and is called out
Umps: The pitcher can’t breath funny to trick the batter or runner with what he’s going to do. That’s a balk.
Also umps: Yeah, basemen can fake throw the ball to get the runner to step off the bag.
How was 1:10 a balk
Very few of these would qualify as "awful umpiring"..... Lots of very close plays that could have gone either way.....
5:32 the ball hits the bat so its a good play
But it landed behind home plate. That makes it a foul ball.
@@phlaelym It wasn't touched by anyone until it was back in fair territory, so it's actually a fair ball.
@@phlaelym You need to learn the rule on fair or foul balls.
Part 95 by the end of the season! 😂
2:58 That was the right call he swung btw
yea almost all of these calls are just the plays themselves which are very hard to call, and then they get overturned asfter they have time to review them. (being an umpire is waaaay harder than it looks, most people sturggle with little league)
How are these awful calls😂
Wtf are some of these clips? Probably half of them are the right calls lmao
Great video I loved it but I felt like some weren’t actually awful umpires some were just making close calls in the heat of the moment. No hate to you in fact it was a great video but I feel like some just actually weren’t awful.
