That fan saying “toss some more shit!” was so on point in the moment, that dude was locked in. 👏🏽
And Harper got tossed!
Burrrnn 😆
I'd of been saying, "Throw your cleats!! Throw your socks!!!"
@@TheTibetyak throw a signed baseball!
That guy came to watch a ballgame. He deserves that amazing seat behind the plate.
@@TheTibetyak I'd be saying " Throw your purse Nancy "
Honestly, one of the best explanations of why each pitch the ump calls wrong is so important one way or the other.
The box on the screen was wrong as it showed the top of the zone at Bryce's BELT LINE. Here is MLB's official definition of the strike zone: "The official strike zone is the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap." According to the official MLB strike zone definition that was a strike. Never trust the boxes that are used on the screen, because they are almost always NOT accurate.
@@Joe_Okey Exactly, look at :29, the box is at his belt line. Even at :30, the bottom of the box is at his shin, the top of the box should be at about the umps chin guard. The top of the box should be between Harper's shoulders (plural). Harper is a baby.
@@RH-cv1rgfor reals Harper is the soft one here. Pretty obvious which players have roid rage
@@Joe_Okeyvery clearly a ball, not even close
@steven_shec1702 Again, the box on the screen is WRONG. The strike zone is from mid-point between the shoulders and the belt to the bend of the knees. By the OFFICIAL strike zone, that was a strike.
According to 94.1 WIP radio, Harper threw his bat and helmet perfectly to the top of the Phillies dugout stairs. Wish that was captured on camera for the breakdown.
Yeah, but what was the Velo on the bat?
He’s put in a lot of work on his helmet throwing. Earlier in his career he was terrible!
@@fishflyinggames6676Lmao!
i watched it live from the game and i laughed so hard how it was a comedically perfect throw for both the helmet and bat
He can do no wrong
Harper's facial expressions when he's pissed off are always funny 😂😂😂
I hate Harper, but I 100% support him in any demonstration against crappy umpiring. MLB umpires have been lousy for as long as I've watched MLB, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Unfortunately.
@@dashx1103 I like him because he's usually a gentle giant. He was so on point here though
@@dashx1103current Harper is also a much different guy than teenage and early 20s Harper
@@Cornpop69 True.
He looks like the sheriff from stranger things when he's upset with someone lol
Bryce straight up dressed like a 90s pro wrestler playing heel
Maybe he told the ump, "I got two words for ya!"
Byrce is definitely a heel.
@@griffithd05 Hollywood Hulk Harper
Lookin like x pac 😂
He would be the ultimate warriors son! 😂
“You shouldn’t be an ump” is some really good advice.
Dude is such a drama queen
I took that advice. Soon, I will earn my degree as a Civil Engineer. Thank you, Harper!
He is pretty soft for a grown man's game.
@@user-qu1od9sn4z A drama queen that got the Phils to the world series last year. I'll take a talented drama queen over a mediocre one any day LMAO
Seems like a good career. In what other field can you be utterly incompetent and still be 100% protected? Great work, if you can get it.
“Recently my career took a little bit of a turn, I started doing play by play for 11 year old wiffleball games” line had me dying for some reason 😂
It was so unexpected
It was an odd turn
I was watching this with my wife showing her how Harper's a chump. She started dying at that part. Lol.
That amount of stats in baseball is mind-boggling.
Actually, only about 12% of people find it mind-boggling.
Unless, it's November in which case it rises to 14%, or in Spring training when it rises to 15%.
About 23% of people find the amount of stats to be mind-numbing,
vs 38% of the people that consider it patently-absurd.
Unless of course it is the first week of play in which case...
70% of statistics don't actually matter
they are so tied up in stats im really kind of surprised they actually bother to play the game.
I love baseball. But it's a sport for accountants.
@@tuckertucker1 dude.....lmao
It feels like jomboy has been digging through the stats more and more in the breakdowns which im loving
The thing about Bryce is he’s usually right about missed calls . He’s got a great eye . I sent him a magazine when he was on the cover I think it was espn or sports Illustrated and he sent it back signed . Pretty dope
Yup, 9 times out of 10 he is right,
@@AmericasChoice Shit, with numbers like that maybe he should be the umpire!
@@Germanater32 Why would he?! My point is, that some players have a near unerring eye for balls and strikes. In the old days players and Umps would settle into a rhythm in a game, and would have a "general" agreement on the strike zone.
Typically multiple equipment throws will get you ejected. Doesn’t change the fact it was a bad call but you can’t really be that confused about why you got ejected there.
The 1st throw is usually just a warning, but the 2nd throw is an automatic ejection.
@@JobiWan144 The umpire can fine the player for the first throw (when you see the ump point to the ground, that's the fine, but not an ejection at that point)
@@transitfan954 Yes, the warning is, "Don't do it again, or I'll effect you."
Yeah, call was fucked but no one should be surprised when a guy gets tossed after a double equipment toss plus arguing balls and strikes from the batters box.
Actually, no it wasn't. MLB's official definition of the strike zone: "The official strike zone is the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap." According to the official MLB strike zone definition that was a strike. Never trust the boxes that are used on the screen, because they are almost always NOT accurate. This box had the top of the zone at Bryce's BELT LINE, which is not where it should be.
The fact that we have ALL this type of information will make baseball so much more fun. Because it will put an emphasis being better as a pitcher
And an umpire. It shows how important it is for them to get their calls right. Yes, the 2 and 1 call being wrong was the turning point, but getting any call wrong can turn a call into a 2 and 2 that shouldn't have been.
When will the ums get better. 😂
@@LucianDevine I think the abs will come to MLB where batter and catchers can challenge balls and strikes. I think Foolish baseball has a vid that shows younger umps are much better than the older ones.
@@jordansadowski8407 Challenge, I hope not, because games will take forever, if you don't at least limit the number of challenge attempts as a test. I do think you're right that there are videos showing that the younger umps are showing to be much better and more accurate than the older umps. They have more ways to double check themselves nowadays and seem to take more pride in their work as a whole.
@@LucianDevine I think the limit in the minors is like 1-2. And it’s very very fast.
I feel like Figueroa honestly got the worst of it here lmao. Bryce shoving him and telling him to get off of him was lowkey pretty sad to watch.
I agree. And Bryce Harper always has the same reaction after antagonizing umps. Hands up together, "Why me? What did I do?" Chump.
The coach gets it; its the passion
Eh. Bryce wants to make his point. He's already ejected, possibly fined. No reason to get pulled away before he gets his money's worth. I think we're all ready for pitch challenges.
Why did Bryce get mad at him lol wtf the coach is on your side dude take your anger out on the ump not the coach.
@@kb8978 Chump, maybe. Absolutely goated at baseball and as good as the hype makes him out to be, and is Philly happy to have him? Hell yes lmao.
I was at this game with my dad, after he was tossed I turned to my dad and said “This is going to be a breakdown” 😂
Dad: Wassa breakdown?
Kinda cute the guy calling the ump soft got butthurt and threw a massive tantrum about a bad call. Take the bad call on the chin bro, human error happens lmao
@@zach23ize You could easily also tell the ump to take a valid criticism of the shit job he did on the chin and not be a bitch and throw a guy out for calling out you doing a shit job. But if you want to shit on a person you will frame it however you want I guess.
@@robertdouth8979 he threw a literal tantrum. All of his gear came off and he cried about it. Yeah, the ump needs to take accountability, but so does Mr. Crybaby
This same umpire also once called up to the PA box of a minor league stadium during a game and told the PA announcer he has to announce the batters' names faster
Oh that's horrible! Could you imagine? An umpire worried about pace of play? He should be fired.
What an egregious sin. Imagine trying to speed up a minor league game. Glad you posted, something from 10 years ago in the minor leagues is so relevant to today's call.
Oh, dude, I'd have started reading them in like slow motion, like a 45 record played at 33. Sorry...I'm old...
The addition of the in-depth analytics makes this a next-level breakdown. Maybe we could get a breakdown on Harper’s career beard/no beard splits?
years he on roids and not on roids would be a good split 😂
Bryce Harper has a .702 OBP after it goes to 3-1 in the count 😳
Guessing a lot of pitchers just waste a pitch on 3-1 to Harper because he's so dangerous
@@FaustoTheBoozehound I would presume a lot of those are walks and not hits.
@@paulyCthat sounds about right.
@@paulyCdoes it matter? 🤡 his batting avererage is above average also btw. Stop hating.
walks/hits it doesnt matter, that is freakin unreal!!!
That box on the screen is tiny, on the pause you can see that the ball is in line with his jersey logo
I had a friend who served in the MRF (Mobile Riverine Force) in Vietnam, that LOVED baseball stats. The numbers were just magic to him and he could quote stuff going all the way back to Abner Doubleday (he knew that Doubleday did NOT invent baseball for just one example) off the top of his head. Guys used to carry around baseball stats BOOKS to try and catch him out on stuff and they hardly ever could prove him wrong. He would have loved those numbers and would be quoting them with zero mistakes tomorrow. He didn't make it back from his second tour. I miss him. CWO4, USN(Ret)

The amount of stats that are kept in MLB have to be the most of any sport in the history of sports.
I have heard that the title of most analyzed/most statistics kept sport goes to Aussie Rules football. You probably have to exclude all motorsports as well, because F1 teams have some ridiculous number of data points at the end of each race, something over a million if memory serves.
@@R.J._Lewis we need a breakdown of this lol. I suppose when you think about every moving part on an F1 car and think they are all tracked somehow it gets crazy too
How many days points does Statcast get? Down to spin rate on every pitch
@@jbones2121 I mean, it could get ridiculous with just timing in F1. There's 3 sectors in a lap and the shortest race of the season is Spa, at 44 laps. That's already 132 data points, but then teams also use minisectors, which breaks down each sector into smaller sections for more precise timing, basically to see where they gain and lose time vs other teams. So there could be as many as 10-20x minisectors in a single sector which now puts the "shortest" race (ie on laps) at somewhere between 1320-2640 data points just in terms of lap/sector times. You can then expand that out to the entire weekend, across the whole field of cars, across the whole season and also include any testing done by teams. With some quick guesstimates that could be something like 2-3 MILLION data points just in terms of timing...
@@R.J._LewisMillions of data points over time yes, but how many statistics are being tracked in total? For example, an F1 car may have thousands of data points for the right back wheel rotation, but it’s all one stat, just at different times. Similarly, ERA is one stat with thousands of player entries.
I disagree with the k zone size or placement or both. Pre pitch the top of it was at his belt.
The superimposed box is generally misleading. But the pitch did look high.
Jomboy says of that high strike, "Data say's it's out of the zone." That is correct.
But close call sports did an analysis of this play and pointed out the problem with the computer strike zone. The tv system says the expected call is a ball. But both savant illustrator, savant 3d, and if you actually look at the tv gameday graphic, it's a strike. And this is something that close call sports has been harping on all season. The TV computer ball/strike system consistently misses high strikes in the vertical. While the left and right are very accurate, the bottom is a generally accurate, the top of the strike zone often struggles with being accurate.
It's caused a lot of conflicts this season between umps, players, and managers. because they see the replay and they see the ball graphic on the screen, but if you look at the actual pitch, it's a strike. But they don't do that, just just look at the graphic.
amen
Thank you for this. I commented after the vid went up that I disagreed with the placement of the box. As he's standing before and after the pitch the top of the unofficial zone is at his belt or below. It's way too low. But the pitch was a strike for 2 reasons....which people can't comprehend....because they're always focused on that box. The first reason is it's in the real actual strike zone. The second reason it's a strike....because the ump called it a strike.
If you go by the box, the pitch is high. If you go by "letters to knees", the pitch is a strike.
So, is the box not an accurate representative of the strike zone, or has the definition of the strike zone changed?
This is how the umps control the game. We see it all the time. They can literally turn a good hitter into Mendoza Mush with a single call.
The way it turned from Harp to the 11 year old wiffle ball game made me laugh so hard. 3:43
On the bright side, Bryce's elbow is looking strong on that bat toss...
I wonder if there are any stats on bat tossing....
@@timmholl9238 divided by team, inning, day of the week, AL or NL or interleague, righty or lefty batter, righty or lefty pitcher, pitch count, attendance, dome or no dome--open or closed...
Was watching this live and since then I’ve been waiting for you to break it down. Wasn’t disappointed🙏🏻
Brilliant analysis. Never heard of stats for count splits.
knew this was coming
As a Braves fan, it's bred into us to hate Harper, but you have to love his competitive nature. I respect his tenacity and yes, that umpire is beyond soft. Bryce rises one rung on my list for this one, maybe one day I will even admit that I think he's alright. Lol
Dam! Now THAT is how you do a breakdown for the common folks! Bravo Jomboy. GREAT info right there and as always, top notch entertainment!
I was wondering how he’d turn this one missed pitch into a 4 minute breakdown and damn was that impressive
Best thing about this breakdown, besides the breakdown, is dreaming Jomboy calling my kids hockey game.
We all gotta really appreciate this content, Jomboy has been the BEST breakdown channel for a while now and it’s only getting better. Good stuff!
Jomboy, you're a genius. Love the breakdowns. Keep doing what you do
Was at this game ! Was hoping to make it on a breakdown but maybe next time lol love jomboy breakdowns! 🫶🏽
The next 10 out of 11 bad calls were against the Phillies after this ejection too.
They reaped what Harper sowed.
That 2-1 was a strike though soo
good
@raug44it'snah, if that's the case, just the ump being petty. Kinda proves harper right and i don't even like the guy.
@@raug4413If that's the case, the umpire should just be fired. Affecting a game because someone called him out for his poor performance is moronic. At some point, it will turn fans away because who wants to watch a game where a piece of equipment is faulty and changes the results? Because that's what umps are. A piece of equipment like a bat or the field. No one pays to watch umps make bad calls, especially when they're on purpose. Makes me wonder if maybe he had a few dollars get on a certain outcome if he's making bad calls purposely. I'm not sure that's the look MLB wants.
I was watching this game live and I knew you would review this
I was finally at a game that jomboy featured! I can die happy.
this is actually one of your craziest breakdowns ever
Phillies vs Braves gonna be a good one
No it isn't. We've been terrible against the braves this year
@@kmart93 lets go baby!
The hair and headband….for a second I thought I was watching Axl Rose🤣👌
Highlighting the fans commentary literally made me LOL. That’s some good stuff.
The whole crew for this series have had very inconsistent strike zones
You could have said ‘whole year’ and still not been wrong
Today's game was brutal.
That saturday game was nigtmarish
Personally as a braves fan I’ve always been a fan of Bryce. He’s intense and that’s fine.
More than fine. It's just plain fun to watch him play.
Kermit just smiling the whole time like a psycho.
jomboy with the random mighty ducks 2 reference. nice one
The pitch is at the letters. Sorry if it doesn’t match up with Apple TVs version of what they think is the strike zone. I suppose when robots replace Umps, there will be one uniform strike zone for the guys that are 6.5 AND 5.7. Make it make sense…
@@joelaut2605 lol the strike zone hasn't changed, chum. chest high to the knees has always been it, period. that little box on tv is for the normies who don't care
@@h445 that’s my point. So if Aaron judge had a strike at the letters, it would be over Jose Altuves head for a strike? 😂😂
@@h445 I have others saying the strike some is the same for every player in the game. Which one is it??? Lmao
Did you adjust that box for the strike zone? That pitch is way below the letters, or his chest, that’s a strike.
I always watch ur videos, although I never watched a full baseball game in my life. I barely know the rules 😂😂
Going by the strike zone graphic the ball looks high. But I have never seen the strike zone vertical adjusted to reflect individual players. As Harper rises to swing at the ball now appears in the strike zone.
“The official strike zone is the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap. In order to get a strike call, part of the ball must cross over part of home plate while in the aforementioned area.” Sure looks like it’s a strike and that fake zone is sitting way too low for Harpers size. It’s practically touching his belt.
Yeah I immediately double checked the definition of strike zone because I was thinking the same thing and came to the same conclusion as well.
Yea closedcallsports also looked at the different angles and it's totally a strike
Sure when he's in the box waiting for the windup, but when he's actually "prepared to swing at a pitched ball" (pause around 0:30 to 0:31), the zone graphic is accurate. It's a ball.
Exactly what I was thinking. The zone is off, that was 100% a strike.
Problem with the “TV zone is its only a 2D representation and is it at the front , middle or back of the plate ?
And like you said the “strike zone” changes with each batter .
his warning was the pointing at equipment which is fined, but once he complains was the ejection. It is in the umpire guidelines so blame MLB front office
Umpires are trash
If I remember correctly, is the strike zone typically based of “below the letters on the jersey and above the knees” I know that’s probably very wrong but there’s gotta be some adjustment to the strike zone based off the height of the batter
The official upper limit is midpoint between the hollow of the knee and the hollow of the armpit or some shit like that. It's ROUGHLY letter-height, but it'll vary between umpires.
@@bubbleheadftthe midpoint between knee and shoulder is lower than the letters. It’s a bit above the belt, like belly button area, just measure it on your own body. Letters are on your titties, that’s not half.
@@bolionce at full standing height, yes. But the ump is supposed to judge based on when the batter has crouched to swing.
We need an orioles rays breakdown for the September 14th game two missed strike calls in a row lead to a solo homer that won the rays the game
Who's watching Jomboy instead of the NFL? This guy!
Taking a dump at halftime! 😅
Doing both. Chiefs/JAX playing sloppy today...
Watched a 4:20 video instead of the NFL 🙄🤦♂️👏👏👏 congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly I would rather watch old Jomboy media videos before any NFL game at this age of my life.
We should also give credit to the great frame job by the catcher.
The box on the screen was also wrong, as it should have had the top of the zone at the midpoint between his shoulders and belt, NOT at the belt itself. The call was actually right by the MLB's official strike zone definition.
I love the “throw some more shit” guy. Top tier lip reading
Haha the Dean Portman reference was spot on. 😂
Nice breakdown.
3 years ago we got a breakdown of Harper getting tossed. That time he was telling the ump he was unprofessional
and He was right about that one as well.
Thanks for nerding out for us :)
Great Video!
dude SUCH a great breakdown of this at-bat. i can't STAND how people think these blown calls only matter at specific times. i will definitely be watching more videos like this!
Bro, thank you so much for the confirmation on this statistic, breaking down a 2-2... I always thought I was a sure-out on that count and my buds would say that 0-2 and 1-2 were worse... I argued that it's more likely to predict the pitcher throwing outside the zone on 0-2/1-2, and on a 2-2, I mean he could literally do whatever he wanted, and I would just have to throw hands at the ball if anything. Love ya, Jomboy. You truly are a gem to this side of the game.
I subscribed on your lip reading alone. It's not just absolutely hilarious, but once you say it it's impossible to read anything other than what you said. All around great content, thanks a ton for your work !
You should cover cubs at dbacks September 16th top of the 10th Cody bellinger catch out off of his bat knob
Honestly can't wait for robot umpires not hard to have a umpire watching the screen in a room and using a mic to relay the calls to the field umpire
Aka cameras
He's so sassy when he's telling someone off
Or sissy. With his Flashdance headband.
Couple things, the Statbox is not accurate, it is approximate. One of the issues is due to the fact the camera sits higher than ground level, so the angle is distorted.
The MLB strike zone is officially "area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball -- and a point just below the kneecap." Again, angles are distorted, but watch Harper as the Pitcher starts to deliver (roughly 0:29)... he lowers his shoulders.. so the top of the strike zone is higher and the statbox is belt high.
You will also notice, the size of the statbox doesn't adjust player by player, because it is an "approx". It does not account their height versus their torso height... and, yes, you can have two guys the exact same height and different measurements of legs, neck and torso... that is why the rules give a more obscure point of half-way between the shoulders and belt (for top of strike zone).
The "For What!?" Has Shorsey vibes.
Harper throwing a temper tantrum and calling someone else soft is funny as hell.
Literally. Typical Philly behavior
I remember when he hit himself in the head with his bat in a dugout as a Washington National.
Nice breakdown on stats! & sweeeet bat-flip in the whiffle-ball 🎉
Was hoping this would be broken down. Thank you @Jomboy Media
Jimmy we need a Diamonback and Cub and Seattle Vs LAD extra inning breakdown to decide the West
Was the pitch not over the plate at the letters? Sometimes the box is wrong to me
Honestly, I think that was a strike. The strike zone is the midway point in the torso. So that t.v. strike zone is off.
Those boxes on TV are not perfect representations of the strike zone, true.
@@raug4413 Absolutely not perfect. If they were. You would see it change for every batter.
How about the wiffle ball kid with the diving catch rolling on top of his head coming up with the ball.
Let's go Jomboy no more calculus class let's go professor Keen Bean!!
Could you go over that again? Except slower...with a monotone cadence? I'd love to get some sl
The top of the “strike zone” is at harpers belt, yet when swinging it looks lower. I honestly think it was a good call. He stands upright before the pitch, blue has a bigger zone on him, when he swings it turns into albino zone from Benchwarmers. Not an easy call
Thats just not how the zone works bro 😂😂😂. The zone size is entirely based on the players listed height. They can squat as much as they like, or stand up completely straight and its the exact same size. It does not shift with how much the player lowers themself when getting ready to swing.
@@Rytoast99 I know I’m just saying it’s dotted. It’s a hard pitch to take with two strikes, and it’s all about blue. If he sees you standing upright and you go to swing and blue already has a top line, and you’re lower when you swing, that zone might be higher than the batter thinks. Nuances of the game make the game great.
When Jomboy busts out the nerd stats you know its going to be a good video
I saw a wiffle ball game and I went from laughing at how ridiculous it looked to being very invested in it. It was very entertaining.
I used to be such a purist for baseball. I don’t like the pitch clock, or the intentional walk. I have been against robot umpires until late, it really seems like they just don’t care anymore, the mlb does nothing when it comes to discipline on these umpires but are easily able to suspend the players. I just don’t get it.
If you think it’s bad now look at the strike zones in the 90s. Strike zone was consistently an inch wider on all sides
@@AliceYobby I do agree with that. But with today’s technology, why aren’t they using the data to do better? I know it’s a split second call and there can be human error. But I at least want consistency in a good way.
Glavine thrived on strikes called 6 inches outside. He would not be in the majors today.@@AliceYobby
it's cause of their union. There's nothing the mlb can do. It's like this for all union workers, which is why many of them are bad and lazy
I love Bryce that is insane that after 3-1 he is basically getting on base 7 out of 10 times. Crazy
Throwing equipment is an equipment violation and warning, second thrown equipment is an ejection. Though not sure there was much time between the bat and the helmet to issue the warning.
Really liked the stat break down on the pitch count.👍
I don’t think umps care about the bat, it’s when you start throwing helmets is when they start tossing people. It has always been that way.
The psychological effect of a bad call is deep. Now the guy is second guessing his whole existence. Not trusting his own judgment, swinging at everything cause he doesnt know the zone, afraid the ump will call it a strike
No shit 2-2 is worse for the batter than 3-1. Don’t need 2:40 of a 4:20 breakdown to tell me that. Subtract the .5 mins dedicated to some random sponsor bs that no one cares about, and that leaves us with a grand total of… 1 min of actual “content” that anyone who saw the post on Reddit or twitter could have done in ten seconds.
Breakdowns definitely not what they once were. I miss the old days (cue old man yelling at clouds). I used to look forward to Harper getting ejected because it meant at least 3 mins focusing on his facial expressions. And was legit enjoyable. Don’t know how that makes sense, but it’s what made jomboy special. This, and most of the recent breakdowns, have been anything but. But also like mad congrats on the kid. Would absolute mail it in if I was in your shoes.
"Going Dean Portman on him"
10/10 reference.
Great breakdown (as per usual)… if they can get Robot Ump technology as close to perfection as possible, MLB has got to put it in the game. At the start of every Yankees game, they display the home plate Ump’s strike zone tendencies… which is ridiculous in and of itself. The strike zone should be the strike zone. Period. You would eliminate managers/players getting tossed for arguing balls n strikes !
I agree with what you're saying about electronic pitch calling, but at the same time, this wasn't a really terrible call - a lot of those pitches end up over the fence. It's when they call that same 4" off the plate or low instead of high that make it really bad.
Doesn’t body proportion and batting stance make each hitters strike zone different? The pitch looked to be right in the middle of his shoulders.
@@drumslut Yes, each player is different, but that pitch was only at his shoulders because of his stance. A more upright stance hitter if the same height would have had that pitch between the belt and the letters. Very close pitch.
@@ohger1 Yeah that's what I mean. It's a close call. Could kind of go either way.
Feel like calling umps soft is one of bryce's favorite pastimes
Projection from Bryce...
The problem of saying ANYTHING related to a called pitch, which the ump can massage into "Arguing" Balls and Strikes. Even when the ump made Angel Hernandez look accurate.
A bat slam can be an immediate ejection, if you throw a bat/helmet, etc. and the umpire makes note of it and points, that's an equipment violation and a fine. The second equipment violation is also an ejection on top of the fine. It's surprising he didn't get rung for throwing his helmet. But since he didn't, what he really got tossed for was arguing balls and strikes. Usually an umpire will throw up a stop sign to let them know they need to stop, but my guess is with the equipment violations, he had less tolerance for arguing. Any lingering and arguing balls and strikes is ejection worthy, no warning is needed.
He should have known what was gonna happen when he started throwing his stuff.
Congrats on the gig with Scotts!
Dean Portman reference LMAO🔥🔥
jomboy spewing out numbers like an ivy league grad trying to land an unpaid internship at some MLB teams analytics department
The fact he didn't get tossed for chucking his bat and helmet, but for some comment that was maybe about the call, really shows how truly soft that ump is.
I've seen players get tossed for way less thrown gear than that.
Isn't the rule that you cannot argue balls-n-strikes?
I haven't seen anything throw a bat and helmet across field like that. Throwing it down, yeah, but he threw that bat in a straight shot, hard.
I think it was a combo of both
Rocco says WAY worse almost every inning from the dugout. This ump got his pride and feelings hurt so decided to toss a 2X MVP for telling him "no way in hell that was a strike". Give me a break, that guy is soft. I'm guessing he got picked on a lot in school 😂
@@brandoncnash Probably did get picked on. Lol. I really thing the way he threw the stuff as hard as he did across the field had a lot to do with it.
