There are many times when everyone knows what a person was doing without them admitting it. This is one of those times.
Which is why ump Handsy needs to state exactly what he was "apologizing" for.
Exactly what I was going to say. It's done and over everybody knows what happened and why. Maybe next time Baumgartner won't be a big crybaby in the first inning
@@charlesandrews2360 so you are blaming Baum for Dan's bullshit creepy stare and hand massage. Got it.
That wasn’t an apology. That was “I need to put some words out to take the heat off my back”
He should be suspended and fined that “apology” was BS, player get suspended for less then what he did
This umpire is a disgrace to the game. There's a lot of disgracefulness happening these days.
Settle down Skippy.... you never made a mistake?🙄
@@lakeozarkrei3767 Mistake implies accidental.
@@tk00000000000000 so what do you call something you did and wish you haven't?
@@lakeozarkrei3767 This umpire, Dan Bellino, has done stuff like this several times. I’m sure his union told him to apologize because fans and players alike are starting to really dislike his poor behavior. Angel Hernandez is a terrible umpire, but this guy is a power tripping scumbag.
Damn Straight! Ump's need to be held accountable for their bad actions and bad calls! Exactly like they hold the players accountable for their actions! MLB umpires are out of control and impervious to any accountability! This makes the games hard to watch. Try enjoying a game with Angel H calling home plate.
Thank you for continuing to talk about this Rich. Baseball needs to check its old school boys club mentality. They took out a starting pitcher in the 2nd inning, it’s a huge deal and not to be glossed over.
The checking a pitcher for a foreign substance as he walks to his dugout protocol is poorly thought out. M.L.B. should go back to the old school procedure. I’d a manager protests the plate umpire walks to the mound and checks for a foreign substance. The old method eliminates tense moments and possible conflict. Madison needs to practice more self control. The conflict started before the half inning ended. Madison has a very bad temper. Check out some of his intersections with Puig.
2 things can be true at the same time;. Bumgardner can be an absolute douche cuck AND this umpire should be suspended indefinitely for his actions.
@@rayray4192 "M.L.B. should go back to the old school procedure."
No, what they should do is use tacked balls like Japan does, and eliminate the problem altogether. Baseball screws with the balls every other way but for some reason they really don't want pitchers to have better command, even though it's what both pitchers AND batters want (and I'd argue the fans want it as well).
@@rars0n Both strategies should be used. A tactile ball and the old protocol of walking to the mound and checking a pitcher for a foreign substance when necessary. If a manager complains the plate umpire is compelled to check the suspect pitcher. When a pitcher has given up a home run it’s a bad time to interact with him. Just let him get into thr dugout and take a break. Their egos are fragile and they have hair trigger tempers. Leave them be.
@@rars0n pitchers will attempt to cheat no matter what ball you provide for them to throw.
What does accepting accountability and responsibility mean?
If there are no repercussions, or if the players and public are left in the dark about them, then what discourages such actions in the future?
Mad Bum lost a game over this.
What did the ump lose?
It means my union is telling me to issue a statement so I am and I can continue getting my paychecks.
His credibility.
He lost Madison. Did not accept his offer for a drink after the game.
@JET MECH I agree, I think our expectations are so low from people doubling down all the time when they do something wrong that this non apology gets treated like something real.
bellino..law..com
That loser Bellino is a lawyer
What was he doing? What was he doing?? He was picking a fight with Madbum. He wasn’t acting as if his children were in the front row, he was acting like a child.
He deserves a suspension, I really can’t believe that the umpires union has this power over the players. That automatic strike zone is definitely coming in the next few years 😬
The umpires union did indeed select their most feared punishment - it's called "The Gauntlet" - which is to say he had to eat a can of beans and weenies for dinner in the hotel that night.
If he is not fired baseball has a problem it’s time refs and umpires and officials start doing after game media
His actions may have adversely effected the teams pitching rotation for many days. He needs to be suspended for at least 3 games and then, his apology will be accepted.
MLB is a fucking joke. I can't believe there's no suspension for this guy, he should be fired immediately. Imagine throwing out a starting QB in the 1st quarter because he's complaining about calls. That ref would be DONE. The only reason that doesn't happen here is because MLB teams play 150 games a year. He completely ruined the integrity of the game when your entire job is UPHOLD the integrity of the game.
It would be more like the NFL ref moved in between the QB trying to leave the field, if he moved sideways he would move with him to block him, then when he inevitably bumps into him, tossing him for making contact with an official
Lol no
Bad calls like this happen in basketball and football too that aren’t acceptable.
@@MyChannel-ol1zz yeah but NBA and NFL refs don’t bait players into getting ejected like this. This was a clear and blatant act.
Take a 💊
When umpires are determining the outcomes of games by personal feelings and bad calls, it's time to remove them from the game. There's far to much of that lately, and it's getting worse.
To me it’s just another potential nail in MLB’s coffin, allowing such things to happen quite openly is unacceptable.
If you think that's bad, then you have no idea what has happened in this or any sport. Spitballs, beanballs, pranks ending careers. The guy said he's sorry. I don't know if I would have done that. I think I would have made some smart remark, but then made a veiled attempt to say that I wont do that again. Cancel culture is a real thing and I will not be a part of it. They do not forgive for being human and don't do anything to actually deserve that power in the first place but claim being offended. He was passive aggressive. What else is new with umpires.
Can't believe he wasn't suspended
You haven’t been paying attention to Rob Manfred. There’s a reason why people keep reminding you that there’s no such thing as decency in wokeness.
Umpires union is too strong
MLB bends the knee to the Ump's Union. Smfh
As someone who works in education if someone looks at one of my students the way the umpire was looking at Bum I’m calling the police. Never mind that he was touching him beyond a regular amount.
I got caught cheating in 6th grade and the teacher wanted an apology signed by my parents. I tried the whole "I'm sorry for what I did" non-specific wording to avoid telling my parents what I got caught for. Guess what, that didn't work. So, Dan Bellino is acting like a pre-teen and getting away with it. Nice.
If the home ump wanted him ejected he could have done it himself. 1st base had nothing to do with it
These umps are just mad that they’re getting replaced by robots in a few years.
Not soon enough.
McDonald’s first.
The MLB that gets kick backs from sports betting for dictating outcomes is not going to ever go to robots. Naive child
@@deusvult6920 Woah bro you’re like really smart.
@@conbitches I'll make your decisions for you. $5 per. Hmu
The umpire was instigating a response. That should be a suspension at least.
Another baseball game where the players and the game action are sabotaged by Umps Behaving Badly
Netflix is going to put that out as a series now. “ Umps behaving badly “ Staring Angel Hernandez.
Now Bellino needs to apologize for the apology.
The music folks at ballparks, every time Dan checks a pitcher's hand, should play "Touch Me" by Samantha Fox.
Hello, fellow child of the 80s. 😄

@@dleatherman4539 OMG, I saw Firehouse open for Tesla at the Spectrum in ‘92. \\m//
Screw that. He needs to take accountability for the position that he put the entire Diamondback organization. Because of his extremely fragile ego the diamondbacks had to use 7 pitchers instead of three and may have even more implications down the stretch with the sheer number of games these guys have to play. He should be fined and suspended. End of story.
The only reason you become a major league umpire is to have power over baseball players that actually achieved their dreams
They stuck out as players?
I don't know...the pay is pretty good too. The average salary is $235,000.
@@kristopherloviska9042 that’s barely above poverty in this economy
@@darinsmith762 that’s not even close to poverty 😂 but sure
That was no apology TO Madison Bumgarner. It was a cop out "I'm sorry" to nobody in particular. As my coach once said, it takes a man to apologize. That wasn't one.
He said he tries to umpire like his kids were in the front row... his kids would be texting mom asking her why daddy is touching another man's hand and looking in his eyes like he used to with her before an argument breaks out
Doesn't sound like a sincere apology
Just one of the NUMEROUS reasons why baseball is no longer “Americas pastime,” and it is fading away into the level of obscurity as tennis. (No offense tennis, I enjoy the sport.) But, at this point the only thing keeping that sport afloat is the TV contracts, and teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, and maybe the Red Sox. Sad to see.
I think our expectations are so low these days from so many jerks doubling down whenever they do or say something bad that we just accept this milquetoast apology as ok.
But as another commenter said, what does “taking responsibility” even mean when there are no consequences or explanation as to what happened?
That's American culture at large in this era.
So many people in positions of people say
"I take full responsibility" and then absolutely nothing happens/changes .
@@kryten09 what does some jackass giving a roundabout statement have to do with culture? Are you a Chinese chat bot? Nothing human behind your account I'm sure of it
He is saying sorry without admitted guilt.
-stop saying you don't understand, you do.
-he still needs to be discipline now,
That's it, it's simple,
Gambling, ump was paid to find a way to bag the pitcher to satisfy gamblers! that's how it seems to me.
Saying you accept responsibility while not facing any consequences makes an apology meaningless.
MLB has two major issues; umpires and too many games.
Not to mention the games are long as hell. The pitch clock coming next year might help but I see many issues coming up at first with it. It’s a shame too because it’s distracts from all the current talent like Acuna, Tatis, Trout and Shohei in the league who should be the focus
*too many regular season games
There’s absolutely not too many games. The baseball season is the best season of all professional sports.
Season length is same as the NBA and NHL and its playoffs are 1 month instead of 2
@@robertyoung692 lol exactly these dudes are clueless
for some reason in this video, the video and audio are not synced
You nailed it Rich 😅
It's wild he's still an mlb umpire without fines or a suspension. Crazy
at what point do these CLOWNS start being held accountable for their actions as players and managers are? NO ONE pays money to watch these guys do their jobs !!!!
Hmm…possible motive might be sports bets against Madison’s team, or Madison’s IP, or Madison’s pitch count, or any number of bets that are made nowadays?
Well said
The fact that the MLB hasn’t fired him for literally influencing the outcome of a game tells you everything. Dude is asking for trash to be thrown
Thank you rich for bringing this to the forefront it's not only major league baseball but it is in all of the professional sports the NFL the NBA are also included in your conversation or should be included in your conversation I have witnessed it for over 60 years I'm glad you brought it to the forefront
You had them eating out of the palm of your hand Rich.
One of the biggest issues with officials in any sport...it takes a certain personality/mentality to get to the top, and it's very often not the ones who will do the best job. They seem to latch onto the power/don't give a single crap about any criticism that is thrown their way.
Guy manipulated a game. Simple and easy. Ejecting a star player like that severely changes the game. Dude needs to be fired and then investigated for gambling fraud.
That's not even an apology. To whom is he apologizing? No idea. For what is he apologizing? I dunno. What will he do to not make the same mistake again? If you can't answer the first two, no way you can answer this one. These kind of statements are infuriating because they are utterly meaningless and nakedly cynical attempts at damage control.
We all need to know just exactly WHAT he was apologizing for! Bum should have said to Ump Handsy. "I adjusted my crotch a few times while pitching. Do you want to check my crouch for anything sticky also?"
Any pitcher who gets his hand checked by Bellino, if he's not going to look down at the hand, give him your glove hand. lol
Amazing... This game has been destroyed. I haven't seen a baseball game in 3 years. This is extreme from someone whose life revolved around baseball for half my life.
0:15. "An artist respects the silence that serves as the foundation of creativity."
Dan Bellino isn’t just any baiter. No no, this man is a master baiter. Lol
I blame Manfred, he's the worst commissioner of all time in any sport
He impacted to outcome of the game and future games with pitching rotation calls.
I appreciate that Dan stood up for it that one game was really bad
Nonsense like this is why I’m watching Rich Eisen talk about the MLB instead of watching the games.
Well honestly when is the last time an Umpire apologized?
We've been tossing this whole thing around at work the past week: Why isn't there a mentorship/apprentice program for MLB umpires. Bring up a few top performers from AAA that work the outfield foul line like they have during the playoffs and maybe work a few innings at 3rd? These guys don't have any real responsibility but they get to see how things work in MLB. The MLB crews see that there are some younger umps with the drive to put in the work to get to the show. Also, those crews see that there are quality umps who could easily take their jobs if (read: when) they screw up. The union gets more members, MLB gets some good, young umps in the pipeline, and the current umps get a reality check that they could lose their jobs if they can't be consistent.
I don't know the full terms of the current deal between the umps and MLB...I assume this is all a fairytail, but I really like the idea.
Umpire union is too strong. Hell they can’t even fire angel Hernandez for being bad at his job
And they wonder why ratings and attendance are down so much
They would suspend or eject a player for that. Umps should be disciplined also
Why is he biting pat mcafee style here😂😂
Madison should have the players union file a grievance. The umpire, who is an employee of MLB, used a process that players agreed to in order to overstep boundaries while physically touching a player. What would happen if a player touched an umpire?
the player would be punished...so if that's the case, make it worth it
Why don’t they go to a video strike zone and just take them out of the loop? The umpires are just getting progressively worse.
Ya know...baseball games today aren't cheap. Somewhere in the crowd, a mom or dad spent a good chunk of change for the ticket, fees, parking, food, drinks, tolls, time off of work, etc. to be at that game with their families. So their child could have an irreplaceable moment of seeing their favorite team and one of the best pitchers in the game in person. To make memories that last a lifetime.
And this umpire, a man that NOBODY paid to see that day, said "No, I need to make this about ME. I need to have MY moment. MY ego is the only thing that matters today so I'm going to bait this guy and change the entire trajectory of the game" and DESTROYED that day and tarnished that memory for thousands and thousands of fans.
Not a good look, MLB. Not a good look at all.
Mad Bum should file a complaint with the MLB via the players union
Human umpires are how Major League Baseball cooks the sports books. With sports betting federally legal now, this needs o be investigated, and people need to start being charged with crimes.
Very good point
His kids would be freaked out because he doesn't look at mom like that or hold her hand that long.
The bottom line here is, nobody comes to baseball games to see umpires except their mommies. They should strive to not be part of the story and MLB should incentivize that in their contracts. The less an umpire is part of the story the more they should get paid.
Someone else said it but I agree: this needs to be reframed as sexual harassment. The umpire made prolonged, unwanted, and unnecessary physical contact with a player outside of the scope of his job. If that was a ref to a cheerleader at an NFL game (or to a WNBA player, etc) this would be VERY different
Things like this is why baseball has gone from my favorite game to I hardly watch anymore
The umpires are such children at all levels of this game. Fragile egos from the top to the bottom.
At the least, accountability demands that Bellino openly say what he did and apologize specifically for what he did.
This was worse than the ref hip check this past year in the NFL
It should bring up the issue of how biased the umpires might have become since they are holding grudges against players they've had to work with for years.
I hope, someday, a player has enough of these umps’ bullshit and punches one in the face.
did he just say "i'm tellin y'all" ? He's from brooklyn.
Pretty much, Bellino said "my bad" but used a few more words. It was not an apology.
I always tell my son to say what he's sorry for when apologizing
You don't always need to know all the ins and outs of everything.. he did apologize and accept responsibility... which many other umpires wouldn't do.. so its a step in the right direction and much better than other similar circumstances... so I guess I'll take what I can get
15 years doing this and he acts like this? Can't imagine what he would be like if he was a cop.
This ump proved that he is equal to Angel Hernandes in his ability to abuse his authority as a Umpire. Maybe worse because at least Angel pisses players off with bad calls.
That ump didn't write that apology. His union rep did. If he meant it he would have said it to the mans face without having to read a statement.
He wasn't even the home plate umpire. So, even if Mad Bum was barking a little over calls, it wasn't even at him. Being Angel Hernandez and baiting Manny or someone is one thing (still bad), but at least it's direct interaction. This guy inserted himself from FIRST BASE, then baited Bum into getting tossed. Absolutely unacceptable.
The sidekick isn’t the guy 😂
Madison’s parents should apologize to Madison for naming their son Madison
Did the co-host say that no one has brought up the fact the the umpire was baiting Madbum!? 100% of people talking about this video have recognized that Madbum was being baited.
What would have happened if Bumgarner told Bellino "You've had enough time to check. Let go of my hand. I want to get back to my dugout." and then pulled his hand away and turned to walk to the dugout?
Manfred doesn't punish Astros, doesn't punish Bellino, and stages the worstly executed lockout ever. Worst commish ever
Just get ready for the next big MLB gambling scandal. Can’t let this kind of behavior from umpires to continue to happen when so many parties are interested/invested into a game or season
I am sick of MLB and NBA refs. Their ridiculous confrontational attitudes and outrageous calls are out hand. Someone is going to get hurt someday…
Why was he checking his hand in the first place ?
Bumgarner should get 2 minute "I'm not touching you" while being millimeters away from his face response punishment.
MLB just suspended Trevor Bauer because THEY think he did something wrong. Leagues (and their officials) don’t have to answer to anyone and they’ve been demonstrating that trait for a hundred years smh
as long as Umpire's power reigns unchecked. They will keep making the game about them.
Someone needs to check that Umps' DraftKings account...
MLB is basically willing itself into extinction (or at least irrelevance) due to this sort of crap. It's a shame. The current older generation of fans will pass and that will be it.
I'm thrilled to watch it happen. Hopefully baseball burns to the ground before civilization does.
An acceptance of responsibility is directly addressing the issue and stating what you're sorry for. He doesn't know what he's sorry for. It's not an acceptable apology.
Get that Umpire out of Baseball. What a disgrace.
The umpire should be fined MadBum's salary for the game, about $800k. I bet that would keep others from pulling nonsense like that in the future.
His intentions were clear and obvious with that creepy un-wavered stare into MadBum's eyes waiting for Madison to break and question why he is doing what he is doing.
The man clearly has an issue with Madison and most likely from a forgotten incident [I hear] from 2019.
Strange ump. The first time I took issue with his job performance was the Josh Donaldson called strike and HR/ejection. What a weirdo!
Bumgarner needed to tune him up!
You already know what happened, we all know what happened. You perfectly explained what he did and why. What I don't understand is why you expect anything more than a vague shitty apology, that's better than what we usually get.
"...why he would stare at a potential future hall-of-famer..."
frankly, it doesn't matter if it was a future HoFer or a rookie-- that was just bizarre and unprofessional.
