Nothing is funnier than old guys with their big chest protectors having to T-Rex arm "throw" someone out of the game and then looking smug after making the worst call of the night
Went to high school with Cody Ross and got to see him play for the Dbacks when I moved to AZ. I can tell you that was the most pissed off that I’ve ever seen him. He was never angry in high school. Always so chill. So it was weird to see him be that angry 🤣
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants he was always good baseball player. In high school, he was a pitcher and was definitely the best in the state of NM. I wasn’t surprised that he made it pro. I remember watching the game that ended his career, I think he had more in the tank.
As way out there as this sounds, I believe it has some merit. It would be no different than reality TV producers creating drama when there is no drama... and that drama is why so many people tune in! I think you are on to something here!
It’s bad enough that these umpires don’t know the strike zone from the ozone but when they get deliberately confrontational for little or no reason, that’s unacceptable. I don’t like the idea of “robot umpires” but these guys are making a good case for it.
@@nickyeayea7257they really don't, they need speakers next to the bases to announce the calls theyre watching and making from review booths, and one lead reviewer on the field, ezpz. The best umpires have a less than 90% correct call rate, with the worst such as angel hernandez having as low as a 50% correct call rate on some games.
Remember the good old days where people could argue a call and the umps would just let it roll off their back. No one got ejected unless they touched the ump or if they really went ballistic and wouldn't stop. Now MLB umpires are made of glass and the tiniest remark or movement shatters their egos. I actually used to be a baseball fan but it's really unwatchable now. I've heard the argument for years that umpires didn't really need to be in baseball and that every job they do could be replaced by electronics. I used to be totally against that argument because I believed the human factor was important and most calls were right anyway. But with the combination of the sheer number of horrible calls on top of the fact that you can't even make a face in frustration anymore without getting tossed out of the game just makes this sport completely unwatchable for me now. Its sad.
Remember when the good umpires were known by name just simply because they were umpires for a long time? Now umpires are known because they suck so bad. I cringe when I see who an umpiring crew is going to be for a given series. I just feel bad for the players and fans in attendance.
There are at least two clips where the player who was ejected didn't even say what the umpire tossed him for. The rhubarb didn't start until after the player got tossed because the player wasn't doing the chirping. Umpires that sensitive need an unpaid vacation.
I think the only reason we still have umpires is because of the union, since we already have had strike zone technology for the past two decades that would definitely be capable of being umpire.
MLB and NBA give their officials way too much protection. They make stupid calls that can cost teams games and they get nothing done about it. I can't even watch either sport anymore.
as soon as you give someone power, they will inevitably let their ego take over once their ability is questioned! cops, umps, refs, management. Happens every time!!!
I was a catcher, so most umps knew me in our over 48 league (I'm not a hothead). So in a late summer game, I was sure this junkballer was going to throw me his nickle bend slider on the outside corner (his pattern with two strikes) and he burned me with his best "heater" on the inside corner which I took. I got rung up and yelled COME ON ASSHOLE!. The other catcher was trying to get me run because I was 2-2 at that point with 3 rbi, but the ump laughed because he knew I was furious with myself.
In most sports the refs are supposed to be impartial and dispassionate. But in baseball they often call safes and outs like a drunk fan who just won a bet. And here it seems that if you look at them sideways they kick you out of the game.
umpires have too much power. a rule needs to be made about ejections. a player walk away pissed and gets thrown out but an umpire can get in your face and gets nothing
The Brad miller one is absolutely wild. I’m not 100% but it seems like the ump says something to him as he’s walking away and he responds them gets tossed. Fix your sh!t umps
Referees of all sports should behave more like mediators than a judge. Make a call, calmly explain your reasons and move on. If someone is disagreeing with you, let them air their peace in a non-violent fashion. And if it goes too long, ignore them and or signal the coach/assistant coach to take them back to their designated area. There's no need for screaming matches, arguments, and or ejections. Ejections should only happen when the need arises. Not because of hurt feelings. Act like a professional and conduct yourself as such. Don't make it personal and act as if you supposed to have the first and last word on all interactions. This ain't about you. It's about putting together an enjoyable game for the fans.
I think we should boycott like we did a few years back.. when the league & teams start losing a few billion, they’ll start lettin the players be the center of attention instead of these pawns on the field
Im glad i never played pro baseball. I wouldnt care about fines and game suspensions, id cup check an ump without delay if i knew i was wrongfully ejected.
Most of y'all kill me. Regardless of if the call was right or wrong. Y'all think its ok to just cuss an umpire out, just becuase YOU think the call is wrong. Maybe he did miss that pitch, maaybe he did getnthe call wrong. Sonyou think that one call makes everything ok for them to just go off and cuss an umoire out? Younthinkmits ok to just berate him? Seriously? Have ANY of you ever umpired a ball game before? Have any of you ever officiated ANY sport before? Hell, the majority of you dont even know the rules. None of you have to "testicular fortitude" to get out there and do what they do. NONE OF YOU. And before you ask. YES, I've been umpiring for over 30yrs. Over half of that at a high level. Ive heard all kinds of crap come from people. How would you feel if i came to your job and say some of the things that you and other people say to you about your job performance? Umpires are human. They are going to miss a call here and there. No one is perfect. Yet that is what you expect out of all sports officials. If you think you can do better or know better than the ones out there, go buy the equipment, take the tests, get to training, and your butts out there and do the job.
every single clip is a player that is unable to control their emotions, all but one is the players inability to shut their mouths. it is not new that arguing balls and strikes gets you run. the umps are consistent on that rule. every clip is the fault of the player. if you cannot act like an adult, don't take the field. simple as that. there is zero excuse to act like a child that doesn't get his way. close your mouth or get run, easy as that....
You know how you view a baseball video without Jomboy's mouth over it? Don't watch a Jomboy video! I feel like I just saved you some time and stress. You are welcome.
Walking away doesn’t mean crap. All of these players were chirping as they were walking away taking their parting shots. All they need to do is keep their traps shut…..they get paid enough to do that don’t they? Umps rule.
Rendon didn't. He made a facial expression. And a gesture with his hands. And Ross just threw his bat and helmet in frustration. No words from either of those guys. And got tossed instantly. There were words after getting tossed, but not before.
There was a time I got called out on a third strike off the plate. I stood there for second, and proceeded to slowly walk back to the dugout. The umpire instantly said “don’t start jawing…” I stopped and looked at him, still not talking. So I drew a line in the dirt where the ball crossed and walked away. Still not talking. The ump went to my coach and told him what I did. My coach pulled me from the game. He said it was for appearance sake (last inning and we were winning). I looked at my coach and said “if that’s the umps initial reaction, he knows he fucked up.”
@@leifopstad2972 I knew what I had done had “crossed the line”. And also keep in mind, this was almost 30 years ago. And I was never an argumentative player. I was actually more upset about being told in front of everyone “don’t start jawing…” so, yes what I did was wrong, but I didn’t start it. And technically speaking, I didn’t jaw it, I drew it.
@nickyeayea7257 Again, I'm not questioning the move by my coach. My point is the umpire instigated it. And to me, that was him admitting he missed the call. But he could have pulled me aside later and explained. Instead, he made a point to say in front of everyone "don't jaw it..." If he had been respectful and talked to me, I would have simply chalked it up to human error. And to make it more frustrating, it was an umpire I genuinely respected. I was just baffled as to why he felt I would openly argue. So, yes my reaction was disrespectful. My initial thought was to simply walk back to the dugout, put my bat back, grab my glove and get back in the field. Unfortunate chain of events.
I love the people on here but also the actual commentators on the tv as well that think just because someone is walking away that makes them “immune” to being ejected. “Go f@&k yourself ref” (gets ejected) “what!? I was walking away!?” While I do feel some umps in the mlb are soft and thin skinned that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to kick people out and it doesn’t matter where they are when it happens. Anyone that complained that the umps ruined the game have never umpired before.
I mean.....I dislike bad umpires as much as the next guy....but whats with this expectation that you are allowed to say anything you want you want to an ump and as long as you have your back to him and/or are walking away and it doesnt count? Lol
These announcers kill me. They think that just because the player is walking away that they can say anything they want to the umpire without consequence. I'll agree that often time umpires are too sensitive to what guys do, let's stop with the "it's always the ump that is wrong" You want to talk sh*t as a player, be a man and say it to the guy's face, and not while you're walking away.
Umpires do not want to be disrespected. Even if the player is walking away, if he is running his mouth the ump can hear him. Is walking away supposed to be a safe zone? I think not. And for the color man who doesn't like that, Who gives a sh*t what you think?
Umpires are disrespecting the game by being awful. Last year, I heard the audio of a conversation between Booney and the home plate ump. The first thing the ump said was (paraphrasing)"you can't use the ipad as the basis of your argument..." basically the ump was saying "I know the call was wrong..."
I feel like all mlb umpires were bullied as a kid.
There’s a loophole for them to redeem themselves. Just say you were trying to swat at a bee.
Nothing is funnier than old guys with their big chest protectors having to T-Rex arm "throw" someone out of the game and then looking smug after making the worst call of the night
Not all officials are bad, but it surely feels like its a universal thing
Sometime I'd like to see the entire team work on getting ejected from one of these out-of-control umps.
That would be interesting to see.
Went to high school with Cody Ross and got to see him play for the Dbacks when I moved to AZ. I can tell you that was the most pissed off that I’ve ever seen him. He was never angry in high school. Always so chill. So it was weird to see him be that angry 🤣
Cody was good for the giants in the playoffs. I always wondered what would have been had he stayed for the whole dynasty.

Maybe, just maybe, the umpires are asked by MLB to make bad calls from time to time to add more drama and viewer interest.
As way out there as this sounds, I believe it has some merit. It would be no different than reality TV producers creating drama when there is no drama... and that drama is why so many people tune in! I think you are on to something here!
Yes! Umps are part of the game, bad calls and all. I'd rather have that than robo-umps.
Common theme with a lot of these ejection videos is that it is usually the same few umpires
2:35 i'm sorry but thats an unbeliveable pitch there.
Essentially unhittable. You just tip your hat to a pitch like that and walk back to the dugout.
I believe these umpires have been shady for a while. I believe a number of calls for ejections were personal and not by the rules of the MLB.
More of these umps ought to be given a real reason for throwing guys out after making the call.
It’s bad enough that these umpires don’t know the strike zone from the ozone but when they get deliberately confrontational for little or no reason, that’s unacceptable. I don’t like the idea of “robot umpires” but these guys are making a good case for it.
oo can I pick your brain about what you don't like about robot umpires? genuinely curious
I think the actual umps bring excitement to the game 😂, robo umps aren’t gonna be tossing ppl out and having great arguments 😂
thing is , we really dont need umpires. especially when they ruin the game
Thing is, they really do need umpires though...
@@nickyeayea7257 but we really dont. Replay has proven it.
@@nickyeayea7257they really don't, they need speakers next to the bases to announce the calls theyre watching and making from review booths, and one lead reviewer on the field, ezpz.

The babies not being able to control their emotions after a call also ruin the game
These umps are out of control. This video is the PINNACLE of why!
Baseball definitely has an umpire problem!

Too many umpires with too short a fuse these days.
I think the only reason we still have umpires is because of the union, since we already have had strike zone technology for the past two decades that would definitely be capable of being umpire.
MLB umpires are why I won’t watch baseball.
Waiting for the day when a Manager and the player JAW at the UMPIRE at the same time.
MLB and NBA give their officials way too much protection. They make stupid calls that can cost teams games and they get nothing done about it. I can't even watch either sport anymore.
As if I needed more reasons not to watch baseball. Refs almost make the NFL unwatchable. Umps are doing their best to do the same to baseball.
2:10 I actually agree with this one. Can't smash the bat on the ground like that.
When you know the fix is in.
Umps get out hand, somebody needs to step up.
Damn, makes me glad I don’t watch MLB anymore.
When is MLB going to do something about these umpires?
They can’t. Unions.
I’d like to also see several whole teams just walk off the field
Umpires are worse babies than Pitchers
as soon as you give someone power, they will inevitably let their ego take over once their ability is questioned! cops, umps, refs, management. Happens every time!!!
When Rendon caeee about baseball….
Umps are OUT OF CONTROL.. someone better stop them
all hail our mlb umpires
It's time for the umps to go. AI can do it better.

Ejection authority is severely overused. But MLB, as always, will do nothing.
Kinsler deserved that ejection, but the rest are just insane!!

I love the pathetic homer announcers whining about how ridiculous an ejection is when they have NO IDEA what was SAID.
If they took away not being able to touch the umps, it'd solve a lot of this
Im glad i never played pro baseball. I wouldnt care about fines and game suspensions, id cup check an ump without delay if i knew i was wrongfully ejected.
Cowardly move for an umpire to do
Well that's interesting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Defund the umps!
Players walking away and getting tossed. SMDH
New Commissioner needed.
Bunch of guys in their feelings. Need a thicker skin.
