Bryce Harper ejected from JUCO World Series on questionable call

[purpleawsome]

He didn't back up when I beat his ass in 10 th grade he's a little bitch

[jppjc]

pitch wasnt close...but this kids a douche bag so who cares

[XxRyanxX05]

That could've been piped and still looked bad on the blue u don't k him up comeone

[pmelt24]

Karmas a bitch Bryce.... i hope someone trys to break your leg just like how you tried to break our 1st basemans leg in the JUCO world series.. you classes faggot !! and Chris McKenzie (Washington Nationals) is the one in this video who carved your ass up that night too.... bitch. He is a great talent.. but bottom line the kids a fucking punk. He talks alot of shit and better believe the guys up in the MLB got something for his punk ass !!

[mattshaw57]

@pmelt24 You have to realise that this guy has done nothing but win... his entire life. He acts entitled because, well, he should be. He has never said anything he couldn't back up. He has dominated everywhere, he has no reason not to be cocky. He's already made two or three times your lifetime earnings, and he's the greatest talent this sport has seen in 20 years, if not ever. The kid is allowed to be confident.

[3232jjf]

check out my video to see the next bryce harper and the future of the MLB Mike Melnik!

[MW2freak141]

Since he knew he had the #1 pick locked down....why not have some fun with a blue when you know in 6 months you'll be making 4x that ump's salary? and how about just giving him the joy that he got to toss THE Bryce Harper

[CollandChay]

Draw a line....LIKE A BOSS

Flip my bat....LIKE A BOSS

Dont look back....LIKE A BOSS

[ebaseballtips]

At :06 you see the catcher sway and at :07 you see as the catcher gets up where he set up on the plate.

Regardless if it was a strike or not...every hitter in baseball has been rung up on a pitch that he thought was outside.

Harper may be a good hitter. But if he thinks he is so good that he will never had a questionable call made against him he is wrong.

As he matures his mental toughness will catch up to his physical abilities.

How does getting thrown out of the game help his team? Selfish?

[buckeyebryan10]

Regardless of the call, he knew he was done.

[miken23barnett]

waay outside

[lindz1817]

It was nowhere near the zone, but regardless if your going to draw a line, you have to be prepared to be thrown out.

[Fuelie795]

I would've done the same exact thing

[tsw0804]

that is so far outsied its riddiculous, and im a pitcher

[VideoGamePhenomHD]

That wasn't even a strike. It hit the outside corner.

[tonykillz55]

@VideoGamePhenomHD outside is a strike... do you mean it outside of the outside corner

[CJFebbelsFilms]

@VideoGamePhenomHD listen to yourself, that wasnt even a strike it hit the outside corner. if it hit the outside corner, it would be a strike

[jerkinboy013]

@VideoGamePhenomHD u dumbass when it hits the corner it is a strike!

[GunBun19]

@VideoGamePhenomHD yeah. the outside corner of africa

[MexicanOFChicago]

i dont think he knew he got ejected......

[earthshine2k]

Is that Eric Gregg behind the plate? I wondered if he'd find work, again.

[Lights0ut1109]

What a prick. He won't make it in the bigs, I guarantee it.

[NYYROCK]

@Lights0ut1109 i agree the kid seems like an asshole but he does have serious talent

[leovargas2]

@Lights0ut1109 your crazy. he's a prick, but he has big league talent. and the nats can make a bunch of money by having him in the bigs.

[justisdaman]

@Lights0ut1109 yes he is a prick but a prick that will make it to the bigs

[boogieboardgirlie]

@justisdaman very true

[182jayroo]

ingosnow25 You mean he goes to the Church of Jesus CHRIST of Latter Day Saints????? seems to me that mormonism is a Christian religion

[182jayroo]

Christian?!? yea right

[ingosnow25]

@182jayroo Bryce Harper is mormon....

[BaseFury]

Of course, we're chatting up a player that has the video, Bryce Harper Blows Kiss To Pitcher After Hitting A Home Run. Respect = calls here and there.

[IAmMrFirefox]

Did anyone else see the bat flip Bryce did at 0:12?

[keepitdirty1time]

@IAmMrFirefox  no you have an eagle eye dipship

[cjdeadly]

@IAmMrFirefox WOAH..... Never known a bat flip was so cooool duuddddddde

[kingcoach13]

@IAmMrFirefox that's why he got tossed.. hello?!?

[TheHoothoot1]

i wonder how much that guy gets paid cause it cant be better then little league salary

[tmaz85]

That was about 2 feet off the plate.

[markakisfan33]

Guys it was the umps month. Don't make fun of him ;)

[JGmartinezJr]

@BreakinMA You can't argue balls and strikes, and you certainly cannot put dirt on home plate.. immediate ejection.

[eliX0r]

@JGmartinezJr you can argue all you want...make it known that the umpire sucks. i did it my 20yrs playing baseball as a catcher. He did not put dirt on home plate, what he did is draw a line with his bat where the pitch was which is an immediate ejection.

[JGmartinezJr]

@eliX0r Oh no, I'm not saying it wasn't a bad call - it was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Rex Hudler talked about how he put dirt on home plate and was immediately ejected, per the rules. You can't in any way show up the ump, that too will get you tossed, even though I felt Harper had the right to do so in this case.

[NappyGilmore]

hahaa wow that pitch was 5 balls off the plate. that's embarrassing for the umpire

[evilmaster1227]

i understand that you're not supposed to draw the line and all that, but does anyone see where the pitch actually was?!?!? that call was just bullshit. the ump just wanted to get under bryces skin.

[asianpowersful]

it's one of the unwritten rules in baseball. its show that u disrespect the ump by drawing the line

[btfalcons7]

he litterally drew the line

[manfulify]

Alright, that is badass for a future National...xD

[achilles3827]

i h8 cocky umps that think their the shit

[Coastergeekperson04]

Drawing a line with a bat is not the same as yelling in the ump's face and calling him a cocksucker.

[JustifiablyPerfect]

@Coastergeekperson04 you're right, It's doing that silently. ESPECIALLY if it's televised.

[dean101792]

@BreakinMA what do you mean not really? youre telling me umps will let guys get away with that but toss managers from the dugout for doing the same thing without a physical demonstration?

[bigdc202]

yeah that's my boy harp! gonna do big things here in dc! show that ump where the ball was.

[dean101792]

@BreakinMA you can't argue balls and strikes.. if you draw a line where you think the pitch was, you're gone that always happens

[Foo3112]

I like how he flips the bat and catches it like he dont give a fuck.

[breener24]

rediculas amounts of sty for an ejection.... badass

[KwNJn1]

@GotsaSmall man this could be like a platinum hit song or something. Titled "like a boss"

[pmorales7051]

Ump deserved more than a little dust to the legs.

[jose123001]

he's got a temper and is a little punk. he seems to be under constant pressure especially now that he's in the majors.

[Dllshockk]

@jose123001 he's in the majors? lolwat

[nlewi11]

that was bad ass. kids got swag, good for the game, baseball needs another all american star

[hollidaysrain]

That was an absolutely atrocious strike call....just sayin

[VarshniN]

LOL look how happy the catcher got when he found out bryce got ejected lmfao he fist pumped lmfao

[FALUKYOURMOM]

look how happy the catcher was lol

[samherb1]

I don't care for Harper but damn.....that pitch was not remotely close to being a strike. That ump should have been fired on the spot.

[brohan914]

kids a fucking douche

[CousinItt001]

With some of the reactions so far I am going to get razzed on this. At any level, you DO NOT draw a line, you will get tossed. Major Leaguers have been tossed for the same thing.

It has nothing to do with agreeing with or not agreeing with the call, you are showing disrespect and unsportsmanlike conduct.

[ambigroove]

@CousinItt001 There comes a point where a call is so bad you dont show respect. This is one of them.

[inspiredbyJimmyRIP]

the shit head up thought that harper was trying to get dirt on him

[matt4schroeder]

@phatneazy shut up. If he wanted to argue, why didn't he say something to the ump's face instead of being a pussy?

[Place411]

@matt4schroeder hes a player, all players know they cant argue with the umpires unless your in major league/minor league. If he did defintley the coach would have said some thing to bryce.

[Jrosales713]

This was againts San jac

[mathew9777]

i fuckin hate blues like that



[z7zRampagEz7z]

Jim Joyce must have been the umpire on that.

[As3sinoL0C0]

@z7zRampagEz7z As a Detroit fan, I must agree.

[Heavilinhobby]

terrible call

[alejandrochavez74]

wow thats a brutal call

[MattSchroeder93]

doesnt matter how far outside it is, its a judgment call. If the ump was calling them like that all night, then it isn't an issue

[phatneazy]

@MattSchroeder93 u moron that is definitely and issue. that ball was well within the other batters box making it IMPOSSIBLE for him to even make contact with much less get a hit. get outa here with that crap you faggot

[naazerable]

@phatneazy @MattSchroeder93 He's right. If he's been calling that all day, you should expect it. Make the adjustment. But in this particular case, it's just a shitty call.

[davidlarpenteur]

@naazerable - You can't make and adjustment on a ball that is 12" off the plate. Come on. There needs to be some accountability for bad calls or just let computers do the job. He just drew a line with out looking at the umpire. The ejection was chicken-sh*t. Not to mention the ump obviously needs help with seeing the ball.

[naazerable]

@davidlarpenteur That is exactly why I also said that in this particular case, it was a shitty call. I was just speaking in generalities, and I concur with you wholeheartedly.

[FlyingPanda1000]

@davidlarpenteur yeah let's let machines take over Baseball, GAWWD your fucking dumb.

[tigerblood1993]

umpire is fucking stupid

[StormiNorman18]

i remember my first time umping a game too.

[mistyflip322]

almost half a million people have now seen how much of a dumbass that umpire is, he fucked with the wrong kid

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@mistyflip322 that right? if you show the ump up, you get tossed. and if your still a kid, have fun gettin into the bigs

[mistyflip322]

@TheLuckiLuciano or he's a dumbass cause he made a terrible call..........

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@mistyflip322 Harper is more of a dumbass trying to show the umpire up.

[mistyflip322]

@TheLuckiLuciano i'll agree that he's quite the hot-head but that pitch was wayyy outside, i would've been mad too

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@mistyflip322 i'd be mad too, no doubt. But you don't draw a line in the dirt. thats just stupid

[pweener]

@TheLuckiLuciano

"...have fun gettin into the bigs..." He's getting there, and sooner rather than later. I would say it was dumb to risk the wrath of the ump and thereby get himself ejected from the JUCO WS. But the ump was an insecure pimp for tossing Harper after he, the ump, just blew the call. Mistyflip is right: the ump's hissy fit ensured that EVERYBODY saw how he blew the call. Meanwhile, Harper is still fast-tracking to the Bigs.

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@pweener theres a good chance he won't get into the bigs for a long time. The ump did everything right. Yes he made the call wrong, but if you draw a line, you will get ejected. He drew the line, he got ejected.

[pweener]

@TheLuckiLuciano

"If you draw a line, you will get ejected." Can't argue that. I kinda liked the spunk, though, and thought it was funny. But no doubt his coach wasn't amused. Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see how long -- or soon -- it takes Harper to reach the Nats. He's zipping along on schedule. I wouldn't even rule out a Sept. call up. My money is on him being called up for sure by this time, next year. Talk to you again, then!

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@pweener don't get me wrong, i like him. Harper is a good guy and a helluva ballplayer, but his attitude is way to.. Flashy would be the word, for the big leagues. guys like Beckett; they're hot heads, but they don't show people up. Harper, though, i've seen twice show people up. and that isn;t acceptable on a big league club. but yeah, talk to ya then, and whatever happens happens man.

[UABaseball012]

@TheLuckiLuciano for a long time??? hes the number 1 prospect in the minor leagues now that mike trout got the call... lol

[TheLuckiLuciano]

@UABaseball012 just cause you're number one doesn't mean you make the bigs fast. Attitude is a huge thing for small market teams, especially the Nationals and Reds.

[123456789107600]

I have an open stance and Im wondering if I should keep two hands on the bat after I swing or not. I have the open stance which I step into the pitch,I dont stay open. Can someone please help me decide whether to keep two hands on the bat or not.

[PDrummer115]

@123456789107600 you should always keep 2 hands on the bat, you hit with a lot more power then if you take one hand off after your swing.

[jcapps101]

@123456789107600 Its what comtable for you.

[Triablemink]

never disrespect the blue

[ownagemunky]

He had reason to be angry, that painted the corner... of the righty batter's box

[realhomosapiens]

@ownagemunky

And that´s far enough

[ownagemunky]

@realhomosapiens "Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding." W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Painted Veil, 1925

[Ilikeghettotacos]

First of all that pitch was a ball and second of all that umpire is an idiot. I didn't see anything wrong with that.

[yourmomsfavmailman]

@Ilikeghettotacos learn something about the game. you didnt see anything wrong with that? he drew a line in the dirt. if you do that to any umpire the will throw you out of the game

[thecrackedstone95]

@yourmomsfavmailman wwhat is so bad about drawing a line in the sand? sorry i actually don't know lol

[drwcubs]

@thecrackedstone95 Arguing balls or strikes will get you thrown out of the game. He drew the line saying where he thought the pitch was which is the same as arguing.

[layner3123]

Way outside



[11599adam]

pause at 17 secs

[yourhighlights]

LOL!!!!! The ball was on the white line of the other BATTERS

BOX!!!!!!!

[fucktheyankees823]

the ump clear;y just wanted yo punch him

[johnbrusconi]

I hate it when umps make up their own strike zone. If it crosses the plate it is a strike. Not 8-10" off the plate!

[MrTimJr]

I want to murder all umpires everywhere and replace them with goddamn robots. We have the technology to get it right, so let's do it.

Look at the way this fucking moron umpire dances and tries to look cool as he makes the call, and then ejects the player that EVERYONE was there to fucking see. That moron dipshit umpire puts on a show as if people are there to watch HIM, and then ejects the actual talent.

FUCK YOU UMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, back to my cheerios.

[kcballa8808]

The best thing to take from this video besides harpers selfish ass mentality for acting like a fuckin 5th grader and getting ejected is to watch how bad his hips drift.... prolly aren't gonna get away with that shit in the bigs....

[myaksitch]

@kcballa8808 Wow... You must play a church league! On this being a clearly terrible call he made a line in the dirt, got ejected and didnt even respond. How is that a 5th grade mentality? He is a little cocky but really why not? He may just be one of the most talented players we will see in our life. Or he will be a flop, guess we will find out soon enough.

[SportsGuy2194]

@kcballa8808 haha you are retarded. Harper is gonna be a great player in the bigs. He is only 18 and he just got moved up to AA.

[baseballmadness1]

@SportsGuy2194 wat team is he on?

[SportsGuy2194]

@baseballmadness1 He got drafted by the Nationals, but he is the minor leagues right now playing for the Harrisburg Senators.

[KBluetrump7]

That was the worst called strike I have ever seen!! Wasn't even close. The ump should have been ejected by Bryce.

[Morrison35]

Go pick cotton.Tumbleweed..Calling strikes that if the batter was batting right handed he would have been hit in the leg.

[AZbaseballplayer]

that was in the righty's batters box that was a terrible call

[RaysFan29]

haha WAY outside

[Trickster2025]

Thats a ball

[tripoddi]

He drew a line in the dirt with his bat. That's a practically guaranteed ejection.

[spooff4life]

right over the corner....haha the corner of the opposite batters box that is

[DoomShroomLOL]

Tht was just another nigger gettin reparations from a white man, whats the big deal

[BehindThePlate42]

If you are an umpire and have such a cocky strike three punch out, you better make sure the pitch is in the damn strike zone before you make that call. Compared to that umpire's punch out, the line in the sand seems subtle.

[jprg1966]

Pretty sure the batter's box isn't in the strike zone ...

[tombo85w]

that was a pretty shitty call haha... ball had to have been 8 inches off the plate

[TheThebenyamin99]

i like bryce but he proably said a bad word

[Matt10154]

that.......was a horrible call. Ump should've ejected himself for that trash. 

[btrip23]

catcher gets pumped after he gets tossed, classic

[crazyriders83]

That sorry ump would have called strike three if the pitcher had hurled it over the backstop. He just wanted to ring up Bryce Harper. Probably the biggest accomplishment of his life.

[334dondada]

Check his dramatization

[334dondada]

Bahahahaha da ump think he got swag the way he rung him up

[hurricanehawk64]

this is whats wrong with baseball sometimes. the umpires are too egotistical and they think the game is about them

[luisespinax]

@hurricanehawk64 umpires are taught to throw out players who draw where the pitch was on the dirt. learn about baseball and then talk faggot

[hurricanehawk64]

@luisespinax hahahahahahahahahaha start a fight on youtube. that will make you so popular. all i was saying is that this ump probably knew this bryce harper kid is a prodigy and he just wanted the recognition for tossing this kid out. and im not all gay. im experimenting

[hurricanehawk64]

@luisespinax by the way, you look cute in your wife beater playing guitar. can i get your number?

[luisespinax]

@hurricanehawk64 sureee 7136258969

[azdoeordie]

@hurricanehawk64 You could say the exact same thing about this Harper clown

[hurricanehawk64]

@azdoeordie thats a good point. did you see what he did down in single a ball? douche

[blisss11]

I would draw that line too.. That was such a garbage call. Hell, if I was going to be a number 1 overall draft pick I sure wouldn't give a shit about getting tossed!

[wrendogg8]

Fucking Umpires, trying to do anything to get noticed. That made that loser of a umpires life to do that

[jus10ls]

jesus christ that would've hit a RHB.

[mcsilversurfer64]

umpires just hate him cuz hes so good

[06222426]

LOOK UP PERRINE BASEBALL ADRIEN#24

[beltedDEEP]

How the hell can an ump be so wrong?

[jsnhbe1]

The catcher is extremely happy that Bryce got ejected, LOL! Even he knows they would have lost the game otherwise. Classic fist pump. He should be on Jersey Shore!

[MrFortez2011]

terrbile call

[jOOSE760]

that was a bullshit call lol

[hammerhead838]

Drawing the line. (Beast) bat flip after he gets ejected... Classic... Bryce Harper is amazing.

[TGbaseball26]

the classic line in the sand. love it

[hurricanehawk64]

how could these hitters be laying off pitches this close?

[2bmc]

@hurricanehawk64 youd have to be completely out to lunch to swing at a pitch in the other batter's box. an ump would only call that a strike every 1 in like 10 times so fuck that.

[hurricanehawk64]

@2bmc its a line from major league. im not saying he should have swung

[GCookieFresh]

i like his bat flip after he's ejected...classic

[undermisensiOPC]

i got ejected for rubbing my bat in the dirt too and didnt say a single word...i think umpires are told if the batter does that you can eject them.. and i had to miss the next game against Eric Hosmer

[TurdFerguson3264]

This is pretty funny. That was way outside but yeah, he should have known he would get tossed for that. It's really funny when umps make a bad call and get called out for it, but let the manager or coach do that and get tossed.

[qwertyjordan]

This Nigga is overrated! I struck him out twice at regionals while playing for central Arizona college.

[goalieguy41]

@qwertyjordan ..Well,,,lets see....a first overall pick in the MLB draft.......will be in the outfield for the the Nats in 2 yrs......when will you be on a major league roster?

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@qwertyjordan sooooo hes playing pro ball and ur still playing juco right btw did u hit 31 homers as a 17 year old playing against college kids yep hes overrated because of 2 at bats be happy atleast wen ur old and have grand kids and hes a hall of famer u can tell them u sat his ass down twice in college... if u can prove it

[olinebigman]

@qwertyjordan and you play where now??

[06mvpplaya]

I am not condoning that arrogant assholes behavior, you never show up an ump no matter who you are, but DAMN that was really outside.

[icedout9009]

you people are either idiots or know nothing about baseball. it doesn't matter who you are or what level you play at, drawing a line in the dirt to show the umpire where the pitch was will get you tossed. he knew that before he did it but since at the time he felt he was untouchable, he figured he could get away with it. he deserved to get tossed

[lcgroves11191]

is it just me or does this video look like its from the fuckin 70s

[GCookieFresh]

@lcgroves11191 for real! looks like throwback night!

[stang9524]

@lcgroves11191 that along with his mustache lol

[AuraHero]

Harper was probably thrown out because the umpire thought he was swatting dirt at him. In Bryce's defense, that was a pretty bad call.

[naasnews]

Bryce Harper is a marketing fraud. Read the Unauthorized Biography

[MegaForgetful1]

When a pitcher has that rush of loving the ump behind the plate, or the hitter for swinging at that awful brim high ball four, you know it shouldn't have been. This call makes you wonder what was the cat behind the plate seeing? When the pitch is on or IN the opposing batters box, there's a miniscule problem with the zone of blue.

[Place411]

Terriable call

[libville]

That was a terrible call. You wonder if Harper got on his bad side somehow.
