Ejection 138 - Cards' Oliver Marmol Politely Exchanges Cordialities with Umpire CB Bucknor

[majesticluminouspaul]

"C. B. Bucknor doing what he does best...wearing a blue shirt." I laughed way too hard at the subtlety of this comment. Well played.

Arenado almost got ejected there; he basically drew a line in the dirt. His Marmol saved him by getting ejected. That is a good manager.

Have to give the announcers credit for their banter and knowing that Oli was gonna get ejected, very nicely done.

[mikeomoran]

C.B. Bucknor should've been fired years ago

2:34 I love the timing of when you said "hands off" exactly when the umpire puts his hand on the manager

[bradcoke]

Marmol: "He questioned my time in the league so I returned the favor and I questioned his time in the league" 😂

[vincentwendt]

That has to be the angriest I've ever seen CB Bucknor. I will admit, he does look good in blue.

[pointdink]

After Oli was peeled off by the third base umpire, it was wrong for the knucklehead CB to keep engaging Oli and actually moving in his direction. CB was too aggressive and instead of diffusing the situation he only prolonged it making it worse. For this game CB made Angel Hernandez look good.

The smirk tells you everything you need to know. Then the crew chief says it time to go. How about the guy blowing all the calls? Protect blue is all that matters. You should be proud of yourselves.

First, to see Bucknor's ejection and mouthing "f&%ker" to Marmol is completely inappropriate. The MLBUA's recent claim that umpires are held accountable by the league is complete horseshit, as evidenced by the fact that Angel Hernandez, Phil Cuzzi, and CB Bucknor still have jobs. If there were true accountability, these guys wouldn't be umpiring a tee ball game. Even weathermen who get the forecast right 35 percent of the time are held more accountable than MLB umpires.

"Peacefulness, tranquility, and keeping a level head..."

*as a rhubarb worthy for CCS, in my mind, of the Star Music of SMB is being played in the video*

Ah, Lindsey, don't change!

I love the comments on the calming nature of blue shirts while both Marmol and Bucknor were yelling at each other. I'd hate to see how animated they both would have gotten with the black shirts. Can't wait for the Jomboy lip reading of this one.

[BIOHAZARDRUSGaming]

CB Buckner is a disgrace. His calls are decent, but he often has a quick hook, and his smugness during ejections is not only downright rude and an absolute power trip, but he then often gets just as animated as the ejected person. As a professional who is ejecting someone for arguing, he shouldn’t be arguing back like that

[a_badali]

That was straight entertainment from C.B. Horrible zone, fiery intensity

[BillsFan-nwnn]

Classic ump show from Bucknor on this one. It was entertaining to watch from a fan's perspective though, and hope Jomboy does a lip reading video of this.

[JENDALL]

This is old school baseball, I miss the days of managers like Earl Weaver and Tom Lasorda giving the ump a piece of their minds, with instant replay today, you don't see it as much.

[Aunny]

Can’t stand some of these umpires. They botch easy calls, then get mad when the players/coaches argue. So unprofessional.

[mannyperez]

You guys should see jomboys video on this one the manager was telling CB to retire and that he doesn’t want to see his face again and than CB starts saying your new here your new here

[chrisrongey]

You can see and kind of hear Oli “You know what? Your time is done”

Always love the humor you add to these “life n death” baseball conflicts. Thanks for keeping us focused on what’s important 😆
