Whether they like it or not, MLB has to do something about these incompetent, oversensitive, power-happy umpires who are destroying the game’s credibility even worse than PED’s did. Most of them don’t know the strike zone from the ozone. Even the replay center gets it wrong too often. Screw the umpire’s union. Fire them if they’re unable to comply to professionalism. MLB, your public is watching… but not for long at this rate.
How about YOU do something about it. Register to umpire at your local association. Officiate some games, a lot of games. Work your way up and show these MLB umps how it's done.
@@paulalstrom4144 The losers who complain wouldn't last at 13U ball. I didn't know how hard this job was until I started doing it. I love it - especially at higher levels where they can actually play - but it is not easy. You're expected to start perfect and get better as the game goes on. Make one mistake, and they are all over you.
I totally agree with you! These umpires are wayyyy too sensitive to be calling games. And look at all the pansies that jumped on the umpire bandwagon. Fake fans. They just on here to be heard. Sissies ...That strike zone from the ozone line cracked me up! ROTFLMAO!!!
Well, if you think about it, every single day they’re getting ridden about everything. They’re human. After a while, every single person in that position is going to cave at one point. I think they only have 1 day off a week to travel to the next stadium for the next series. It’s draining. On top of that, the ridicule they go thru from their higher ups after each game from their screw ups to their good calls to getting critiqued on their mechanics and their positioning. I don’t blame them for being on a short fuse after a bit. I do think they need more time off because it can and does effect outcomes of games
These umpires forget that people spend their hard earned money to see the players not them but all of a sudden they want to be the center of attention!!!!
What if the player union would have a rule added to their contracts to wildcat if a ref is being incompetent without loss of pay of players. How fast would the mlb fix these issues if all the players walked out of the game.
I understand that Umpires have a Union, but does MLB have any power to penalize them at all?...The sport has been taken hostage by a bunch of fat, inept, overpaid stooges with anger management issues.
They don't have to tolerate, they have to make the rules respected. Players and manager know the rules, so if they don't want to be sanctioned, just follow the rules.
The problem is a simple one. There is no accountability for these umpires. Players and managers/coaching staff can be penalized by ejections and suspensions while umpires like Hernandez are allowed to perform at such a low level with no penalty. The players are out there practicing and playing there asses off and umpires just show up for the games and get paid. I’m a strong union guy, but the collective bargaining the umpires have is iron clad and only benefits the umpires and not the game. This needs to change.
This crap is bleeding over into the college game. Hell, all sports. If an 18 year old can have a bad night in their sport and have to go in front of the media, the same should be expected from those who directly impact the game by their decision making.
That first one was not dumb. If an umpire feels the need to take to the mound, he has to eject. What's dumb is at least a couple of clips circulating RUclips where the umpire feels the need to incite shit by effectively charging the mound. That second one, however, was probably one of the dumbest ones I've ever seen.
I don't see any reason to part sith a ton of money to ever watch an MLB game. By the time you buy a ticket, get to the park, buy a drink and a food item, you've spent more for just that tyan your grandparents spent on their house. You have to watch through a net because some people didn't pay attention and got hit by a foul ball. Umps think the game is about them and their authority complexes. Players change teams like a supermodel changes shoes. The whole production is just egos and money grabs.
Real quick, y’all do realize these umpires work every single day and take heat every. Single. Day. Not just by players and coaches but after every game they get critiqued for every bad call or no call, being out of position and their mechanics. Non stop!! With players, fans and coaches and head of umpires being up your ass for majority of the day along with the pressure of the severity of it being professional sports and on tv for the world to see, as a human, you’re gonna cave. No matter who you are. After a while, enough is enough. It’s human nature. Not defending their actions. Just painting y’all a picture on what the day in the life of an MLB umpire looks like. Under constant scrutiny to be perfect isn’t easy, I’m sure. Y’all don’t have any pressure cuz you’re watching on tv or in the stands. Maybe think a bit broader before just up and wanting to get rid of the umpires
I will never not laugh at Eric Nadel saying “it’s 18-6”
Lol. Eric Nadel will always be one of the GOATs. I used to listen to Rangers games on the radio when I was living in Texas.
The Lackey ejection was warranted. Clear intent to hit him.
Yeah he threw at him twice and acted like both were accidents.

Nah the game will be fine
Nope. They're part of the game. This is a game created by people for people. No instant replay, no removal of umpires in favor of another system.

Baseball umpires are the biggest crybabies that I have ever seen.
So are the players! 😂

The players and managers, for the most part.

Joe looks so tired & over it in the last clip. He unenthusiastically walks out, and has an "I'm done" look on his face the entire time. lol
Then his fat ass said “you bumped me”
If MLB umpires were police officers we’d all be dead.
😂

Umps need to be regulated! Holy cow jist let them play ball

Plain old jealousy..... they need more attention, so they interject themselves into the game. Childish behavior 😡
I understand that Umpires have a Union, but does MLB have any power to penalize them at all?...The sport has been taken hostage by a bunch of fat, inept, overpaid stooges with anger management issues.
Quick reminder: fans go to the games to watch the players, NOT the umpires.
Exactly, to watch players play, not to watch them arguing for bshits and cry like babies behind their millions
At some point umpires need to be reviewed suspended and retrained for this kind of incompetency
Get yourself into a union that protects you like the umpires union. It’s basically a free ticket to play god in games with zero consequences.
Hernandez throws everyone out
Hernandez needs to be thrown out of the country.
dam right
He retired today!!
Defund the umpire
watched that Christian Walker one live. Shit was a mindfuck lol
Umpires are so soft these days 🙄
The umpires are so aggressive why is that allowed
They need drama for ratings I guess.
It's how they're trained. Tolerate absolutely nothing.
They don't have to tolerate, they have to make the rules respected. Players and manager know the rules, so if they don't want to be sanctioned, just follow the rules.
Umpires must be very sensitive. Can’t handle a few words.
I personally find it entertaining when these whining multi-millionaires are shown the door so to speak for one game.

This is why fans need to stop going to games force MLB to hold umps accountable.
All I hear is "blah blah blah I'm a whiny bitch who doesn't understand baseball."

when umpires don't get laid...............they take it out on the players...........
2:22 why is the kitchen appliance on the field?
Easy fix: make the penalty for punching an Ump a $20 fine. Problem solved in one season or less.
Even less if the penality would be life suspension
@ no, I’m saying this will improve the performance of umpires
the very reason I stopped watching MLB, Ump's egos.
This crap is bleeding over into the college game. Hell, all sports. If an 18 year old can have a bad night in their sport and have to go in front of the media, the same should be expected from those who directly impact the game by their decision making.
I could never be an MLB player because the very second an ump targets me like that hes getting the bat across his skull
Am I crazy or is that Phillies/Blue Jays clip from a *Spring Training* game? Double the dumb.
Yeah it is spring training

At least your grandparents learned how to spell correctly. Spend your money on a basic education!
These umpires act like those tyrannical cops that be violating people’s rights lol . (Specially 1st amendment auditors rights)
I've said it before: I will boycott mlb until they get real, actual umpires.
What they have now and have had for years are disgraceful. !!!!!!!!!!!
no get the pizza
Lucky had it coming.
Baseball is probably the one sport where computers could call the game accurately. We can finally be rid of umpires.

When WWE drama meets baseball 😂😂😂 just one of the reasons i quit watching pro sports
The dumbest ejection ever because he threw a pitch outside umpire what the hell
This is why nobody fucking watches baseball anymore
9th grade girls should not be MLB umpires
This is why baseball is so boring.
No. But it gets ratings for the wrong reasons.
