I was at this game, one of the most memorable I've been to. You go to a baseball game to be entertained, and I tell you what: 3 ejections, a fan kicked out by an umpire, and a milestone nobody had ever achieved before? That was something else.
I was at a Tigers/Angels game a few years back when 4 Tigers were ejected...2 players (JD Martinez and Victor Martinez), hitting coach Wally Joyner, and Manager Brad Ausmus. It was a hell of a night.
there was a runner on third, and the umpires prevented the run from scoring. do you think that the Cardinals would have turned a triple play? the call was that the run didn't score and this is the only instance when that run doesn't score and indeed they were just looking for a call to make.
Damon watt its the rule you cant slide with no opportunity to reach the base and if you do its interference wich means the runnes have to go back where they were staying because its time of pitch
booted animal oh ok "booted animal" I trust you. Considering that this is the only time that this call was mad in the history of baseball. I would recommend watching a baseball game for once.
It's funny how the runner was arguing it. It's also funny that the manager was arguing it. How could they legitimately claim that the runner wasn't going for the opponent? Any thoughts?
I don't think they could see any replay.... not until much later. Its funny how these coaches and players see what they want to see. Earlier this season (last games yesterday) I had a very bang-bang call at first - might have been a tie, who knows... .... nothing too unusual there..... and I called him safe (2-man system so I was calling it from over nearer to second base. The coach comes out to argue and I say "ok, what have you got".... he says "he was out by a good step and a half". I just said "oh, come on, it was bang bang either way you look at it, gimme a break" and just walked away. A couple of weeks later, I have that team again and a similar close call happens and he comes and SAYS EXACTLY THE SAME THING! That's when I knew that it was just a ploy on his part.... an effort to get into the umps head so that the next super close call might go his way. Sometimes these coaches will just argue to make themselves look strong or to try to fire up their team.
Coming from a Brewer fan (who coincidentally was also at this game, one of the most memorable of my life), I can see where most, if not all of these ejections have some merit. The first ejection (Macha) was pretty straightforward: if you're going in for a takeout slide, you need to at least make an attempt to touch the base. Counsell did no such thing, that was the right call. Macha deserved an explanation but he stayed out there arguing too long. The second ejection (Duncan) I mean come on Duncan, really? You've been coaching in baseball for 30+ years and you're going to yell over a call like that? Granted that was a shitty call, and Davidson had made a few shitty calls that night. But the thing about it was his strikezone was consistent. He didn't call something a ball and call it a strike 2 pitches later, they were all even calls. But Duncan did his yelling and he got tossed for it. The third ejection (Dickerson) that call was a lot closer than I think Dickerson thought. Don't pout about a call like that, it was borderline at the worst. Grow up, Chris. The fourth ejection (fan) that fan was pretty inebriated and had been making some pretty asshole remarks to both Davidson and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. The final straw was the fan yelling to Molina, "How do you like making a living on your knees, faggot?" While you could be more thick skinned about a comment like that, at the same time that was a pretty dick thing to say.
+Hunter Mirr Ejecting a fan like that after previously ejecting 3 players/team staff previously seems like he lost his grip on reality and was going all Adolf Hitler on everyone. You just don't eject fans for heckling, heckling is what fans do at baseball games. Fans are the reason that these players and team staff make hundreds of thousands of Dollars per year (and why Umpires even have a job at all). More evident was the way he summoned a Miller Park employee to eject that fans 4 sections away and then made a hurry up gesture at the $10/hr employee. Sorry this umpire was out of line, and his fellow umpires should have relieved him of his duties that night. You don't eject fans unless they are interfering with the game. If fans are overly obnoxious or fighting, it is the job of the ushers and security/police to eject those fans not the damn umpire.
Per Wikipedia: "Tony LaRussa earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Florida State University College of Law in 1978 and was admitted to the Florida Bar on July 30, 1980.... La Russa has been quoted as saying, 'I decided I'd rather ride the buses in the minor leagues than practice law for a living.' "
The interference on Counsell was a good call. He was clearly taking aim at the SS with his slide and made no attempt at all to tag second base. Don't know what these announcers are complaining about.
Thicker skin? For the record, I was at the game, and Yadier Molina was complaining because a fan was heckling him. The fan crossed a line when he asked Yadi "how do you like making a living on your knees?" and Yadi told Bob Davidson.
Bob Davidson has the quickest hook in the game. People say Angel is bad, but Davidson doesn't tolerate any crap. His calls are generally ok but he has a very quick hook
He's always been a grouchy old fart and umpire. He can be found on UEFL, he blames everything on others. Calls everyone who's not an umpire "an asshole"
I've seen close to this. An OHL hockey team, the Sarnia Sting, have a fan group called Pollen Nation that resides behind the opposing bench. On opening night in 2012, Peterborough decided they couldn't tolerate the heckling and refused to come onto the ice for the third period until a certain one of them was made to leave the area. That individual eventually joined the main fan group on the other side of the building and made fun of the situation from there.
The ump should not have the right to throw unruly fans out of the stadium unless they're causing a ruckus on the field. There's always a lot of trash talking in the stands no matter what sporting event you're watching; there's no denying that. The ballpark security guards and guest relations should have the authority to throw the fans out of the stands and the umps can do it if the spectator is causing a ruckus on the field.
That was the second time I've seen an umpire throw a fan out. I saw it once at a minor league game where the fan was yelling and booing at the call along with yelling at the 3rd base coach then the umpire started yelling at the fan which escalated things and then the ump threw him out.
sportsygirl8 That's just wrong. The ballpark security/guest relations should be in charge of spectator ejections; not the umpires who are there on assignment. The umps are there simply to officiate the ballgame.
I know, I don't get why they have the right to throw a fan out when it's guest relations and security's job to throw a fan out. I guess some umpires feel that they are above the guest relations.
Fucking morons....the officials have total control of the game and stands while the game is being played. I am an NCAA official for another sport (a much bigger sport) and we have thrown fans out several times. Why don't you work for the MLB, NFL or NCAA before you start spouting off comments that you know nothing about. All I have to do is call the police or stadium supervisor over and tell them we want that person or persons removed and they will escort them out. We ejected the entire college band one time for not following the Rules stated in the NCAA rulebook. We eject drunk fans all the time. The NBA ejects fans all the time. They don't show it on TV most of the time because they don't want it to be part of the fan experience.
riddleman65 - Our jurisdiction begins 1 hour before kickoff and ends when the game is over. Everything that happens on the field or effects the contest and it's participates is subject to our rules and control. That doesn't mean stadium security or the police can't arrest people or remove people if they choose. Give it a try sometime. But a $200 ticket and come on down to the lower level and scream at one of us - it has to be a profanity laced threatening comment and see how long it takes for you to end up in parking lot or jail?
+Jon Hohensee If you think you can sit and laugh at the umpire, you'll probably find yourself getting arrested. It's one thing for the umpire to say the fan's got to go. But when an usher shows up to escort you out, you really do have to go. There are certain rules fans must obey in order to not get kicked out. In most cases, security catches the fan in the act and shows him the door. But in this case, it was the umpire that caught the rule breaker. I'm guessing the fan threatened the umpire. And if that was the case, it cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
+Jon Hohensee I'm just saying that with all the booing and shouting from the stands, in order for that one guy to get singled out by the umpire, he had to have crossed a certain line. Umpires can't eject fans for being fans, but they can eject them for violating ground rules. Every ballpark posts signs letting you know what not to do. Those rules are in place for safety and maintaining the integrity of the game.
Aiman Jarrar No you CAN'T. Umpires can only eject, unauthorized fans. He was a ticket holder, therefore authorized. This jackass forgot to take his MIDOL. The Coaches may be penalized for this fan, but the fan may not be ejected by an umpire. If he becomes unruly he may be "trespassed" and security can have him removed.
The same umpire also removed a fan in Philly a few years later, saying after the game: "This guys starts yelling 'You suck!' You could tell he was (drunk). And so, all right, suck is not bad. Then he kept it up for two hitters completely. Then the third hitter after the first pitch, he says 'I own property on 69th Street. You could come over and suck!' That's when I turned around and said 'You know what, get rid of this guy.' You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids - they buy tickets. They don't have to come here and listen to that. That's exactly what he said to throw him out. ... I didn't know why security just doesn't do that on their own."
Umpires should not throw out fans. Fans yelling at umpires are apart of the game, the atmosphere. I hope he said something really vulgar if he got thrown out.
+Matthew Seel fans yelling racial slurs and threatening physical violence isnt part of the game it bullshit and umpires have every right to take action. Spending a lot of money isnt a license to be a fucking idiot.
Counsell sliding into 2nd was bush league. Definitely interference. I don't care if you just have to be able to touch the bag, his intent was to interfere.
Bush = he was 6' from the bag. His 3' long arm would have been 3' short of touching the bag. That was one of the worst slides ever. LOL The rule change was this year - this happened 7 years ago and it was illegal back then. LMAO
keegar11 Yes, it’s bush league. This isn’t football where you’re trying to break up a pass. Baseball is a non-contact sport, believe it or not. If you let that go, where do you stop?
Ok thats its totally unacceptable. The umpires should not have the authority to throw out fans. There are tens of thousands of people there how the hell did he know that that one guy was heckling him.
You don't know baseball very well. Especially in the old days the umps have total authority over the game. They can throw out anyone if they deem it an obstacle to the game. Look up three blind mice at Daytona Cubs game he threw out the sound guy
Ryan Cooper did you not see the approximate location of the fan in regards to the plate? He was almost in the umpire's ear. Whatever this guy was saying (clearly, this guy was drunk off his ass) was apparently horrible enough that he deemed it a distraction from the game and inappropriate for the fans around him. I've seen another clip where an umpire threw a Phillies fan out fifteen rows back for drunkenly yelling foul language. As the guy was escorted out, Phillies and visiting fans alike cheered because the guy was a tool. You have to understand that while the umpires have the job of protecting the integrity of the game (albeit, they don't always do a great job of it), they also have the job of protecting the fans and stopping them from becoming a distraction.
First call is correct. Second call could go either way, but it's a ball as fox trax exhibits. Third call is also right. First ejection is fair. Second ejection we don't know what Duncan did, so who knows. Third ejection is right because you aren't allowed to throw your helmet like that, players get ejected for that all of the time. Fourth ejection though, don't be a pussy ump, he's just a fan.
+Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot the FOX trax is bullshit. You're right on everything except the fan. The fan was yelling racial slurs. You cant let people yell stuff like that. Fan should stfu. paying a lot of money doesnt entitle you to be abusive towards people and he was being verballs abusive and threatening.
The first call was right. The pitch wasn't in the zone. Throwing your equipment around the plat is supposed to be automatic. The fan was drunk as fuck, and the people around him were quite happy to see him go.
The ump made all good calls. This isn't football, this is baseball. If you argue easy calls or argue balls and strikes, you get tossed. If you heckle the ump, you get tossed. That's how it has been for the past hundred years.
Every single one of these ejections was warranted. Except maybe the fan, as it's tough to tell what happened on that one. Maybe he deserved it, maybe not. But all the on field ejections were the right calls.
Ejection of the fans - You know some fans have this idea that paying for a ticket means they can say and do anything they want and that gives them that right but thats not true. If a fan is threatening an umpire or if the umpire feels like his safety is in some jeapordy there he can absolutely have a fan removed. Take this as you will but I've umpired pro ball before. Just a perspective you guys might find useful.
+Hunter Mirr first off thank you for responding in a polite way. Thank you also for explaining that to me but I have to tell you I already knew all of that. In MLB umpires have to fill out a report any time there's an incident (usually for ejections). And in this case every detail you mentioned was also in the ejection report written by the umpiring crew and in this case signed off on By Davidson who is the crew chief. While I hear what you're saying he was also making threatening remarks to the umpire as well but the reason he made the ejection after coming from the Cards dugout is because the team had made several complaints about this man and now felt like they had to tell the umpire before something like (Oakland v. Texas) some years back happened where players start going at it with fans. And rather than allow that to escalate any further Davidson and the entire crew made the decision to have that guy removed from the park. Have a goodnight and thanks for the response.
+mrtoolegittoquit2 um no you have that completely wrong. considering people who were at the game backed up what i said too. Way to pull stuff out of your ass without knowing anything,
I never really understood the appeal of Baseball, but I think I'm starting to. Baseball (well really any serious sport I guess) is about passion for the game, be it players or fans. The fans are out there sitting through watching their boys get hassled or doing good, and they're cheering them on. Sure they may be drinking over-priced beer, but being there with your pals yelling at random calls is part of the fun. Other than maybe European Football, the fans of Baseball are the most engaging and passionate. That in my mind makes this game fun. On a separate note, I like watching older people argue with each other.
How the hell can a fan be ejected by an umpire? Fans pay good money to watch the games, umpires have no authority and can't throw out fans! If i was that fan, i would ask for a refund on the ticket.
Dude hit for the cycle. He threw out a player, a manager, a coach and a fan. They say the fan is usually the hardest one to get.
The fan is the hardest one to get...lol
He hit the single, the double, the four bagger and stretched that coach into a fan, lol.
The announcers r next
Bob Davdison once ejected the Expos mascot.
I almost got my father thrown out of Gillette stadium once for harassing the MIAA refs
"We'd better watch what we say tonight or we might be next!"
LOL
lol
Yah, I know. With Bob Davidson on the field, we'd better have our bags packed! HA HA HA!
true the ump iz nutz
"We gotta watch what we say, we might be next." That honestly made me lol
🤣🤣🤣
Be nice... OR ELSE

"They're trying to make up something out there".
As they show the replay of him sliding 5 feet from the bag.
there was a runner on third, and the umpires prevented the run from scoring. do you think that the Cardinals would have turned a triple play? the call was that the run didn't score and this is the only instance when that run doesn't score and indeed they were just looking for a call to make.
Damon watt its the rule you cant slide with no opportunity to reach the base and if you do its interference wich means the runnes have to go back where they were staying because its time of pitch
booted animal that doesn't apply to runners on third
Trust me it does
booted animal oh ok "booted animal" I trust you. Considering that this is the only time that this call was mad in the history of baseball. I would recommend watching a baseball game for once.
Anyone else heard " I LOVE YOU MAN" from the fans?
Bob Davidson: "Y'All get off my field and out of my stadium!" LOL
Some say he is still ejecting people from Miller Park
He phoned me at home 5 years later. Told me to get out.
just like Greg Gibson, the home plate umpire, is still motioning to both players
That’s why it’s empty lol
The phrase starts with Legend has it
Not here in 2020, no fans to eject.
"Might want to watch what we say, we might be next." lol too funny.
2:45 drunk dude yelling "I LOVE YOU MAN" lol
good call..... he was not sliding toward the base.
It's funny how the runner was arguing it. It's also funny that the manager was arguing it. How could they legitimately claim that the runner wasn't going for the opponent? Any thoughts?
I think you are exactly right.... clearly was trying for a takeout instead of the base.
+Brammy007a - Right, but why do you suppose they were protesting the call? They can see the replay, can't they?
I don't think they could see any replay.... not until much later. Its funny how these coaches and players see what they want to see. Earlier this season (last games yesterday) I had a very bang-bang call at first - might have been a tie, who knows... .... nothing too unusual there..... and I called him safe (2-man system so I was calling it from over nearer to second base. The coach comes out to argue and I say "ok, what have you got".... he says "he was out by a good step and a half". I just said "oh, come on, it was bang bang either way you look at it, gimme a break" and just walked away. A couple of weeks later, I have that team again and a similar close call happens and he comes and SAYS EXACTLY THE SAME THING! That's when I knew that it was just a ploy on his part.... an effort to get into the umps head so that the next super close call might go his way. Sometimes these coaches will just argue to make themselves look strong or to try to fire up their team.
He meant to. He just wasn't wearing his contacts.

The third ejection (Dickerson) that call was a lot closer than I think Dickerson thought. Don't pout about a call like that, it was borderline at the worst. Grow up, Chris.
The fourth ejection (fan) that fan was pretty inebriated and had been making some pretty asshole remarks to both Davidson and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. The final straw was the fan yelling to Molina, "How do you like making a living on your knees, faggot?" While you could be more thick skinned about a comment like that, at the same time that was a pretty dick thing to say.
thankyou for this

+Hunter Mirr great explanation...............thanks.
Is that where you roll a ball at some pins really fast?

"We got to watch what we say, we might be next" I laughed so hard at that
"We better watch what we say, or we might be next!" Man, that was funny.
"We better watch what we say up here; we may be next" -- ha!
TheSmithersy that ump is thinking the earth is the playing field
Too bad they weren't.
The interference on Counsell was a good call. He was clearly taking aim at the SS with his slide and made no attempt at all to tag second base. Don't know what these announcers are complaining about.
They’re midwestern hicks
Feels so weird now to see counsell as a player for the brewers
Brewers fan here, this is hilarious 🤣🤣 I never seen a cycle of ejections.
That's the right call on Counsell, slides straight into the player.
Thicker skin? For the record, I was at the game, and Yadier Molina was complaining because a fan was heckling him. The fan crossed a line when he asked Yadi "how do you like making a living on your knees?" and Yadi told Bob Davidson.
1:44 made my day, lol
What did the fan do?
LOL Bob Davidson and Dave Duncan! Gold
Cards pitching coach is a boss
I heard his wife threw him out when he got home, he appealed and lost... of course
He's a piece of shit! Fuck him!
I thought she threw him out of bed because he didn't have any balls and he appealed it and lost.
I don't know about the incident with the fan, but the umps were correct on the other 3 calls that led to ejects.
That’s great! I did tune in to watch The Bob Davidson show, get the rest outta there.
Craig Counsell today Brewers Manager since May 2015 update on Monday June 24 2019 11:01PM CT
2:45 " I love you man !"
How cold is it there usually at Miller park
Nice seeing the manager Standing up for his man
I love the announcer "They're just trying to make up something!" and then obviously he could not have touched the bag on the replay
Surprised Davidson didn't eject the hot dog vendors,ushers, groundskeepers, etc.
Best thing I've read all day!
Bob Davidson has the quickest hook in the game. People say Angel is bad, but Davidson doesn't tolerate any crap. His calls are generally ok but he has a very quick hook
The best umpires are the ones that aren't known. lol
That's because the ones that are know suck. Bob Davisson Tim timins joe west angel Hernandez
I still think Joe West is a good umpire. Angel Hernandez though is agreeably no doubt an awful umpire compared to all other professionals
@@michaelmclennan03 Joe West is an awful umpire.
Nate Marroquin Joe West is a hit or miss. He’s either a great ump or complete garbage.
@@natemarroquin False. He may end up as the GOAT.
The thing is, those calls weren't even contentious. The teams were wrong
@proforgeracing did you actually watch the. Idea?
Davidson is such a goober. you flex big guy!
Davidson looks like he hates everything.
You mean like Mikey?
He's always been a grouchy old fart and umpire. He can be found on UEFL, he blames everything on others. Calls everyone who's not an umpire "an asshole"
Wow the umpire made the right call for interference? It's a miracle.
3:24, I’m rolling on the floor 😂

So Umpires can toss out anybody they want for any reason??? Why are they given so much power?
They are given that power because they are responsible for managing the game.
Bob Davidson said in a later interview that the fan was ejected for making racial comments towards Molina.
And judging by the looks of said fan, I'd say he's about the intelligence level to do it too.
darkstar7646
Now you're the racist.
Mamamonkey: I'm the same race he is, and I wasn't talking about his race -- more that he looked like an absolutely drunken buffoon.
That fan was so trashed! 😄 He might still be drunk from that night.
Thank god this ump didn't become a cop
ChronosJG lmao you'd get a ticket for going 45.000000000001 in a 45
DC Caleb Nah, you would get shot for that.
I was thinking the same thing !!! Wow. Lmao.😅 He's on a Power Trip.
Amen to that!
Well actually they are one in the same. Power with attitude and short fuses!!
How can you toss a fan? (if he's not endangering anyone, that is)
Well if I'm the fan I just stay in my seat and laugh at the ump.
+Jon Hohensee If you think you can sit and laugh at the umpire, you'll probably find yourself getting arrested. It's one thing for the umpire to say the fan's got to go.

And if that was the case, it cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
Yeah, but you're just guessing.
If it was just heckling, i can't imagine that the ump or ref wouldn't be immune to it.

that fan should have pointed at "Balkin' Bob", and did the "throwin ya out" sign, then just walked off... like a badass...
you get an ejection! you get an ejection! Everyone gets an ejection!
This would have been so much funnier without the typo.
Thanks for editing it. Now it's funny.
"IamKogl5 months ago (edited)"
;)
There wouldn't be as many probs if players would swung the frickin bat
Counsell was waaay out the base path.
Purple Monkey Dishwasher, There is no base path the runner must be in.
What is there to argue about in the first one?
I love you man!
Was the ump on his period?
Girls don't even get that bitchy on their periods haha.
Was his pad on sticky side up?
Like the announcer said: "I've never seen a fan get thrown out of the game before"!
Lol Willie Randolph walked out quiet like twinkle toes 😂
Here is how something with Bob Davidson would go.
The pitch:
Bob D.: Strike
Player: Really
Bob D: Your Gone
Hahah! He can't throw out a fan, this Ump was just seeing how far he could go
Yes you can.
Aiman Jarrar No you CAN'T. Umpires can only eject, unauthorized fans. He was a ticket holder, therefore authorized. This jackass forgot to take his MIDOL.

Nate Marroquin YOU CAN
this needs to be on one of those things you see on facebook about youtube comments
That Ump has to be a Budweiser Drinker explains everything
kick out a fan. lmfao. wow. i feel sorry for you brewers.
Sincerely,
Twins Fan
The same umpire also removed a fan in Philly a few years later, saying after the game:
"This guys starts yelling 'You suck!' You could tell he was (drunk). And so, all right, suck is not bad. Then he kept it up for two hitters completely. Then the third hitter after the first pitch, he says 'I own property on 69th Street. You could come over and suck!' That's when I turned around and said 'You know what, get rid of this guy.' You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids - they buy tickets. They don't have to come here and listen to that. That's exactly what he said to throw him out. ... I didn't know why security just doesn't do that on their own."
I GUESS IT WAS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH FOR THE UMP.... HUH? LOL
That was awesome
I have played baseball for many years and i think that the umpire made the right call by calling the interference on the double play
Umpires should not throw out fans. Fans yelling at umpires are apart of the game, the atmosphere. I hope he said something really vulgar if he got thrown out.
+Matthew Seel fans yelling racial slurs and threatening physical violence isnt part of the game it bullshit and umpires have every right to take action. Spending a lot of money isnt a license to be a fucking idiot.
@@brady13001 I'm sure if we knew what it was the fan was saying, we'd agree that he should have been tossed. Probably very personal stuff.
Homophobic slurs directed towards Molina and Davidson got the fan escorted to the gate.
Counsell sliding into 2nd was bush league. Definitely interference. I don't care if you just have to be able to touch the bag, his intent was to interfere.
Bush? He wasn't going that hard. It's how baseball used to be played before the rule change
Bush = he was 6' from the bag. His 3' long arm would have been 3' short of touching the bag. That was one of the worst slides ever. LOL The rule change was this year - this happened 7 years ago and it was illegal back then. LMAO
keegar11 Yes, it’s bush league. This isn’t football where you’re trying to break up a pass. Baseball is a non-contact sport, believe it or not. If you let that go, where do you stop?
He was trying to prevent a double play. Counsell did the right thing.
Jordan Roberts but why did they have to send the runner back to third? He would have scored anyways? I’m completely confused about that
lol that be awesome being at that game
SEPT. 7, 2010 is when this happened. Why do you leave it out of your uploader's comments?
Ok thats its totally unacceptable. The umpires should not have the authority to throw out fans. There are tens of thousands of people there how the hell did he know that that one guy was heckling him.
You don't know baseball very well. Especially in the old days the umps have total authority over the game. They can throw out anyone if they deem it an obstacle to the game. Look up three blind mice at Daytona Cubs game he threw out the sound guy
goldosprey Poor intern.....I feel bad for the guy
I guess you saw that video. Yeah it was funny but poor intern. That proves my point if you upset the ump you can say hi to the parking lot
It's really funny but at the same time it kind of makes sense. He just thought that it was because he made a wrong call.
Ryan Cooper did you not see the approximate location of the fan in regards to the plate? He was almost in the umpire's ear. Whatever this guy was saying (clearly, this guy was drunk off his ass) was apparently horrible enough that he deemed it a distraction from the game and inappropriate for the fans around him. I've seen another clip where an umpire threw a Phillies fan out fifteen rows back for drunkenly yelling foul language. As the guy was escorted out, Phillies and visiting fans alike cheered because the guy was a tool. You have to understand that while the umpires have the job of protecting the integrity of the game (albeit, they don't always do a great job of it), they also have the job of protecting the fans and stopping them from becoming a distraction.
aww did someone have a bad day at work :(
Love it how the commentators say we might be next
"Watch what we say, we might be next" - Brian Anderson. fucking epic
2:45 "I love you man"
Nice catch
I heard, "I love you, Dad!"
So you can go to a game and heckle players, but as soon as you heckle an ump he can throw you out right then and there. Makes no sense.
Right I dont watch a lot of baseball but why does this 1 man have this much power .. it's a joke ..
Refer to the gaming pigeon's comment.. Thats why the fan got thrown out
@@B1Gp1mpp1n huh???
He was thrown out for shouting homophobic slurs at Molina, not for anything he said to the umpire.
That's pretty funny that the Brewer's current manager is a player in this game
Lol “ Willie Randolph is gonna be the centerfielder “
First call is correct. Second call could go either way, but it's a ball as fox trax exhibits. Third call is also right.
First ejection is fair. Second ejection we don't know what Duncan did, so who knows. Third ejection is right because you aren't allowed to throw your helmet like that, players get ejected for that all of the time. Fourth ejection though, don't be a pussy ump, he's just a fan.
+Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot the FOX trax is bullshit. You're right on everything except the fan. The fan was yelling racial slurs. You cant let people yell stuff like that. Fan should stfu. paying a lot of money doesnt entitle you to be abusive towards people and he was being verballs abusive and threatening.
+Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot The fan was out of hand. He deserved the ejection.
who peed in the ump's cornflakes?
his wife........
This is Enrico Pallazzo style of umpiring!!
Also, great call.
The first call was right. The pitch wasn't in the zone. Throwing your equipment around the plat is supposed to be automatic. The fan was drunk as fuck, and the people around him were quite happy to see him go.
They think their GOD. Look how they act in little league too. This guy was just pissed off he was even working that night
they're*
I like how you seem to have some sort of telepathic connection with umpires, being able to tell us what they think.
+xraykid4 spoken like someone whose clearly never umpired a game in his life.
Nope. An ump threatened to clear the White Sox bench for Jewish slurs thrown at Hank Greenberg. Actor Michael Moriarty's grandfather was the ump.
The ump made all good calls. This isn't football, this is baseball. If you argue easy calls or argue balls and strikes, you get tossed. If you heckle the ump, you get tossed. That's how it has been for the past hundred years.
If Bob Davidson had that much of a sense of humor, this video probably wouldn't exist.
The umpires were correct on all 3 calls. Prob right on the drunk ass fan too
Replays show that umpire was right on every call. Nice to see these prima donna’s getting tossed. And nice to see the fan get the boot too
@proforgeracimg did you actually watch the video?
Top 20 you tube videos.
Every single one of these ejections was warranted. Except maybe the fan, as it's tough to tell what happened on that one. Maybe he deserved it, maybe not. But all the on field ejections were the right calls.
Everyone was clapping, so I would say he did.
umpires were right in every instance, boys...read the rule-book and you'll agree too. Well, I don't know about the fan decision...
Ejection of the fans - You know some fans have this idea that paying for a ticket means they can say and do anything they want and that gives them that right but thats not true. If a fan is threatening an umpire or if the umpire feels like his safety is in some jeapordy there he can absolutely have a fan removed.
Take this as you will but I've umpired pro ball before. Just a perspective you guys might find useful.
+Hunter Mirr first off thank you for responding in a polite way. Thank you also for explaining that to me but I have to tell you I already knew all of that. In MLB umpires have to fill out a report any time there's an incident (usually for ejections). And in this case every detail you mentioned was also in the ejection report written by the umpiring crew and in this case signed off on By Davidson who is the crew chief.
While I hear what you're saying he was also making threatening remarks to the umpire as well but the reason he made the ejection after coming from the Cards dugout is because the team had made several complaints about this man and now felt like they had to tell the umpire before something like (Oakland v. Texas) some years back happened where players start going at it with fans. And rather than allow that to escalate any further Davidson and the entire crew made the decision to have that guy removed from the park.
Have a goodnight and thanks for the response.
+Jim Munoz absolutely
+Matthew N Ummm, no. He thre the man out cause he's a DICK, pure and simple. Look at the old SCROOGE!
+mrtoolegittoquit2 um no you have that completely wrong. considering people who were at the game backed up what i said too. Way to pull stuff out of your ass without knowing anything,
I am a big brewer fan the was a good call.
I never really understood the appeal of Baseball, but I think I'm starting to.
Baseball (well really any serious sport I guess) is about passion for the game, be it players or fans. The fans are out there sitting through watching their boys get hassled or doing good, and they're cheering them on. Sure they may be drinking over-priced beer, but being there with your pals yelling at random calls is part of the fun. Other than maybe European Football, the fans of Baseball are the most engaging and passionate. That in my mind makes this game fun.
On a separate note, I like watching older people argue with each other.
lmao
vjm3 Well, welcome to the baseball family!
How the hell can a fan be ejected by an umpire? Fans pay good money to watch the games, umpires have no authority and can't throw out fans! If i was that fan, i would ask for a refund on the ticket.
You gotta be careful with your attitude, or else the home plate umpire will eject you from the internet.
I know that guy, he told me the ushers moved him to a different location
xof49 Haha i know, i better check my phone maybe he's calling to tell me i'm ejected from the internet lol
Zach Jachowicz Haha good to hear that didn't actually eject him!
yea i would definitely have sat some place else
Umpires are getting worse every season.
Odd thing was, he was right on all the calls
the ump was seriously pms'ing that night
@1:16 somebody seriously got the umpire's attention!
Good thing Bob Davidson isn't there to ruin anymore games
