I suspect the catcher pulling is some psychological trick to make the umpire think "well he pulls that much every time even on low strikes" and make the umpire doubt a ball call. idk.
It’s become an Umps’ World. We only play in (or watch) it. Egomania, pure and simple.
This IS a veteran coach move. He absolutely can criticize the umpire’s strike zone while talking to his pitcher (“settle down, dude, I know he’s missing some calls, but you have to deal”). That’s part of being a coach. He’s not allowed to argue balls and strikes with the umpire. So, he never faces the umpire, but understands that the umpire will overhear him saying what a shitty strike zone the umpire has.
Watch how after he tosses the coach the ump thinks it's ok for him to move into Walker's space and get right into Walker's face. Poor plate calling followed by horrific decision making and a unprofessional disposition to follow. This reflects poorly on the game.
Take note, Angel. This is how eavesdropping works.
3:00 Shows just how worthless announcers have become.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 been awhile since I watch Lindsay's ejections 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's an assistant coach. He's not going to get much leeway here.
@CloseCallSports have been a topic of discussion around our diamonds and bringing us (parents and umpires) together! We talked about this ejection too… Hi Mario (umpire), nice meeting you the other night here in Mississauga!
I used to like Jomboy breakdown videos before, but after I find out about this channel I can't go back.
Im not sure why he got tossed, did he say something he shouldn't have or did he simply not recognize the ump there
Pulling pitches should be a "catcher's balk."
How can the ump eject for something he said when he was talking to his player?
I was watching the start of the game, i think someone paid that ump.
So, the pitching coach wanted to get ejected, but the umpire was hunting for an ejection and for some odd reason you didnt mention that he broke the rules and came to "break up" the mound visit after only a few seconds, not the 20 seconds he was supposed to wait before walking out. But I guess its only a problem if players and coaches break rules, not umpires.
Many catchers today frame the ball poorly, in my opinion. The best frames move the ball naturally into the zone. If you move the glove more than an inch or two it’s obvious. Fastballs are framed best by catching the ball away from your body and receiving the ball towards you. Breaking balls are best framed catching the ball as far away as you can from your body. Molina was the absolute best at framing.
these blue jays announcers are terrible
These ridiculous videos just don't show any knowledge of baseball. The pitches shown were very close with most calls looking correct. The coach went out with the intent of getting tossed as the announcers described. Even though he spoke into his glove and did not look at the umpire, he most certainly made a remark aimed at the umpire he knew would get that result. Even if baseball goes to the "robot" strike calls, you people will start howling about how certain stadiums/teams wrig those systems.
typical excuse from homer annoucers which mlb really needs to hamper down and start having fines for the annoucers. and secondly you wouldn't cover your mouth if you had nothign to hide.
Lol, "keep your hands to yourselves," when umpires consistently put hands on coaches and players in order to move them out of the way. I guess I agree, keep your hands to yourself, always. When I was catching, I actually despised it when the umpire would keep his hand on my back. I am not your support animal. I typically appreciate this channel but the loaded language like hissy-fit, etc. just takes away from the mutual respect that should exist between players and arbiters.
Someone should have gotten ejected right after the home run occurred because of the missed strike. Would have been more impactful to come out right then and tell the ump that is on you because u f’ed up. I just hate the wait until another less impactful missed call later to come out and say something.
And this is one of those ejections that, Best Interests Of Baseball, needs an automatic 1+1.
Get on it, Manfred! They're making your umpires look ineffective.
Way out of line for Umpire to listen in .
Sorry jomboy 🤣
So you think a digital square on your tv is the actual strike zone? Or maybe that round circle is "no doubt the baseball?" Come on. The diameter of a mlb baseball is under 3 inches. The ball is traveling from the mound to the plate (60 feet), and reach speeds over 100 mph. If you've played at a high level, you've seen some crazy movements in pitches; slider, curve, changeup, split, ect. Seeing the white dot on you tv screen touch the most outer edge of the digital line is NOT DEFFINITELY A "STRIKE." AND IF THAT DOT MOVES 1/16 OF AN INCH AWAY FROM THE LINE, IT'S NOT DEFFINITELY A "BALL." MLB should really disallow the showing of the strike zone on TV. Do you want Artificial Inteligent (AI) making all the calls in baseball? And if it's not calibrated properly, maybe it's off by a half inch. Now go mow the lawn and walk the dog.
one of the worst umpires in MLB!
Ive seen a lot of people get thrown out of games but pete walker put on the best throw out ive ever seen
