Anybody see that Noah Syndergaard ejection with the audio?

[elfriskygaming]

Joe west is a joke. Umpires should be fined and suspended for bad calls or impulsively throwing out players just for questioning their judgement.

7:46 The way he looked at the ground in disbelief...

[WesMan]

That Anthony Rendon ejection was pretty hilarious, the guy cant just be mad cause he struck out? Umpires are soo sensitive.

[DuckOfRubber]

One of my favorite things about baseball is the arguments between managers and umpires. Apart from being entertainment in themselves, I love when a player feels he’s been cheated, the manager always marches out there and has his back. To take that ejection so his player can stay, or to join his player. Athletes at any level will play harder when they know their has their back.

[Reiderreiter]

Unrelated but the director of the game with the Bumgarner/West confrontation deserves an Emmy for immediately putting that split screen up.

[loganjaggers]

Umpires were definitely Hall monitors in elementary school...

8:50
Manager: He didn't say a word

Umpire: He didn't have to say anything. I know what he was thinking and I could hear his eyes rolling.

[anthonyrisola]

The infuriating thing about umpires is that they almost never admit to a mistake and reverse the call. They're arrogant and they're given too much power.

[skepticstoic]

Legend has it, Bumgarner & West are still staring down to this day..

[yellwberry]

Joe west
Angel Hernandez
Cb Buckner

These guys are often on their knees all the time because they're always blowing the game

[ryancoolidge]

Maybe joe west will find the strike zone when he finds his chin

[redheaddemom]

What are you ejecting me for ump?

Ump: *_YES_*

[xavierstrong]

The study released last year by Boston University showed definitively that older umps with 10 or more years in the Majors are far LESS accurate than younger ones with little experience. Jerry Layne, 61 years old and with 29 years in the bigs, had the most wrong calls (14.2%), while John Libka, 32, with 1.5 years, had the least (7.6%).

The study looked at the 10-year period encompassing the 2008-2018 seasons. Obviously those with less than a decade of experience couldn't be judged on the entire 10 years the study looked at. But because the results were based on a "Bad Call Ratio" for each ump -- one that reflects the percentage, not the number, of every ball/strike and safe/out call each ump got wrong -- it's still pretty valid.

And in case you're wondering, Joe West and Angel Hernandez -- the two umpires fans seem to love to hate -- were NOT on the list of Top 10 Worst Umpires over the 10-year period (though West WAS 2nd worst in the 2018 season.)

Poor Rendon. Best attitude in the game and that has to happen to him

[uncommonsense]

3:43 is my favorite Buster Posey moment, he's just a good boy who wants to play some baseball.

[ryandalton]

I figured this would just be a compilation of angel Hernandez

[amoney]

The worst thing is when a runner slides in the base intentionally late to hit a baseman

[Thuganomics]

I hate that umpires are so protected from coming at them but they can instigate as much as they want

[matthewjmcnaughton]

Hey, I really appreciate that you included both the bad calls but also the announcers explaining why they are bad calls.
