This umpire handled this COMPLETELY WRONG. 1) When the pitcher approached him from the mound, AUTOMATIC EJECTION and 2) you do NOT follow the kid back to the mound. I honestly don't faul the coach for stepping in the middle.
no ejections...as soon as some dude comes running at me screaming...see ya...coach in my face see ya. Player started the confrontation and i would have ended it. Most of you must be bitches letting people scream in your face. Do that to someone and see if they just walk away. I am just disappointed no one got dumped!
the umpire acted like a little child by following the pitcher like he was gonna school him or goading him to act even more aggressively. The pitcher realized felt better after his yelling and was leaving but the umpire was trying to get more to evict him..the coach told the umpire to fucking cool it and do his job..which is total shit haha. Support the Coach
I played in a tournament 2 weeks ago and my cousin was pitching and the ump would not call a strike.So my cousin got pissed, next thing the ump goes up to him and says your body language sucks, if the catcher moves the glove at all im calling it a ball. Never play at Sports at the beach.
Two things here, number one if you go at an umpire like that prepare to be tossed. Number two, the pitcher turns and starts walking away but the umpire loses his cool and goes after him but is intercepted by the coach then bumps the coach....the umpire should be disciplined by his governing body.
@PIZZAHUTLOVER554 he followed him kuz he was obviously tellin him to cool it b4 he tosses him out the game n idk wat people r talkin about the batter being too close. The batter can be as close as he wants as long as he is nt on the plate
@GBrennum thats fine. Thats why i put good call or bad call. But regardless I think he shoulda just let the pitcher look like a douche for flipping out but instead he trudges after him like hes gonna flip and be a hardass
I can see why the pitcher was angry, look at where the catcher's glove is when he caught it. Now look at the batter's foot, it's almost touching the plate, the batter was so close the the plate so the ump thought it was inside.
@ILOVEUMPS plate umpire had no business following the pitcher all the back to mound screaming like it shows and he puts his chest into the coach...this is a prime example on how not to umpire (letting a situation escalate) of course a queen such as urself would know this now wouldnt you
black ump, black batter, white pitcher, do i smell racism? if it was the other way around al sharpton and jesse jackson would have been on the next flight to that field....lol
@TheRealSKS not to be racist but it is true..... the umpire confronting the pitcher had to be black.... blacks have (for the lack of vocab, ill use) the aggresive gene, they naturally have to defend themselves or act all tough guy, Blacks have HUGEEEEE egos and they have to act like they are the biggest thing since Jesus. This might be racist but u cant tell me its not true... just watch black behavior, u will see the same shit. Some blacks can control it, most dont want to control it.
@ShadoeRedd I seen every race get aggressive and angry, etc, but u cant tell me blacks dont have some sort of natural enhanced type of aggression. Majority of blacks that i met AND see everywhere show me that there is more then just the normal aggression that humans have.
That actually was a rather good pitch, up and in, on a lefty w/ bases loaded. Now, if it was a close game, the pitcher is going to be very upset. I'm a pitcher, and my record was 10-2 this year. Those two losses ended up as a L because of inconsistent strike- zones
@imRaGEDout Get over yourself. No reason to tell us your record as a pitcher. The mark of a good pitcher is adjustment. Every umpire has a different strike zone and some are worse then others. Also, most umpires don't call the pitch that is up anymore. Rarely do you see the letters being called a strike even though it is supposed to be.
Funny! A pitcher that does that in the big leagues, would never throw another strike for the rest of the day. I don't care if it's down the middle, he won't call it a strike.You don't show up an umpire. Let your manager do it...IDIOT!
P.S. it was borderline anyways, & with bases loaded that pitch sucked!
as a pitcher i know how he feels, just finished state tourny for allstars and u wud think at tht point they wud start getting good unpires for the games
Wow!!! How did this guy let the pitcher stay in the game??? He should have been dumped by the time he got to the plate.. Then after he touched the dirt... Then after he continued to fuss... The manager did what he had to do to keep his pitcher in the ball game. PITCHER SHOULD HAVE BEEN DUMPED!!!!!!!
Bases were loaded so the batter stepped into the ball to get hit with it. Batter us still up even of he gets hit. You have to make an attempt to get out of the way, or in this case swing at the ball.
Bad call. it covered the inside of the plate and was belt high. ump shouldn't have called it a ball simply because the batter leans in to shrink the zone. Strike 3 or w/e in my opinion
rule 7.3.1 of the mlb rulebook states "If the batter leaves the batter box, delays the game, and none of the enumerated exceptions occur the plate umpire shall charge a strike to the batter." however, the misconception here is that both feet actually have to exit the box. i could see where his confusion was because he obviously was aware of this rule, but not to the entirety that he thought.
@theflyersfan28 they are the rules of baseball. period. just cuz it was in the mlb handbook does not mean that it doesnt apply to all other types of baseball. that is like saying that since the mlb handbook states that if a player receives 4 balls then he walks, in little league you have to have five balls. you cant just change the rules of the game. substitutions are what can be altered.
The guy at bat almost seemed as if he were trying to take a hit for the team.. Notice his front foot nearly step on the plate and he turns his back and head. Im on the pitchers side
I umpire and i'm 14.. I get so pissed when coaches argue with me.. A night ago.. I was umping and the kid moved his hands over the plate.. I called a strike and the coaches were like "WTF are you talking about ump?!" All I wanted to say was, LEARN THE GOD DAMN GAME OF BASEBALL!
@NCAAfanable I agree, but its in all sports. I umpired when I was your age, and the hassle wasnt worth the reward. I also reffed hockey up until this year, and am stopping for the same reason.
@TyFrederick lol played baseball for 10 years and only learned that aspect of the game last year when Girardi got tossed saving one of his guys-- dont remember who
youve got to be kidding me.... watch any other game and this is a strike. the catcher barely moves his glove and doesnt even frame it either. turning his glove was smart because it shows the ump a clearer zone of where the ball went into his glove. having watched a shitload of baseball i can vouch that its a strike 3 call and its not ball
@richyrich2336 so there should have been 2 ejections for arguing balls and strikes. regardless if it was a bad call you can't do that. that game is a joke.
no matter what level of baseball this is, all the way up to major leagues.. if a pitcher, or any player for that matter, would argue balls and strikes in this manner they should be ejected. The umpire should have immediately ejected him. The umpire is at fault slightly for things getting more out of hand because he went after the pitcher instead of ejecting him and walking away. He should have ejected the coach as well for his actions and not gotten in his face. Not handled well at all.
@ForTheWeekRocks Agreed, pitcher should have been ejected immediately, And manager also. Ump let that go too long and now he looks stupid when he could have had control immediatelty the pitcher got all fired up.
I can almost understand the pitcher's anger. With the bases loaded, the batter steps out of the batter's box (it even appears he is stepping on the plate!) in order to get hit with the pitch. That should NOT have been ruled as a hit-by-pitch. Watch the batter's right foot.
@PieBob1313 actually you can't step on home plate when making contact with a ball period. if you do, you are out. if a batter does not make contact with the ball when he steps on the plate, it is nothing. I am assuming that this is ball 4 and not a hit by pitch because the umpire never called time, which would have been called for a hit batter. Another thing that made this look bad is that the umpire stood up and turned as if to make a strike call. either way, the pitcher should be ejected!
The batter didn't get hit, morons. If he got hit the umpire would have called "DEAD BALL." It was ball 4. The pitcher argues that the batter should be out for stepping on the plate. HOWEVER, he's only out if he contacts the ball while stepping on the plate (or anywhere outside the batters box). the ball did not touch the batter. It was ball 4 and the pitcher is fishing for a call that he just made up on the spot. Good umpire.
@markscarpa he is complaining about the pitch being called a ball, he hits the plate because he was most likely screaming that it was over the plate and not a ball, so you are the moron
@markscarpa that pitch was a strike.... im a ump and i know that that pitch is a strike... if a batter moves in like that the strike zone doesnt move with him..... it was a good pitch but he is one of those douchbag batters who tries to make it look like it was close to hitting him by moving closer into the plate... Pitcher is right should have been a strike......
"The pitcher argues that the batter should be out for stepping on the plate."
The pitcher is arguing that it should be a strike. He points out that he's stepping on the plate merely to illustrate that the fact that just because it is close to the hitter doesn't mean it's inside, because the batter is too close to the plate (or on it).
@markscarpa only if his foot is ALL the way out of the box and makes contact is he out....half his foot could be in the box and the other could touch the plate and he hits the ball into play and, its still a live ball
@markscarpa although your argument is a good one, thats not what hes arguing at all. i mean, seeing it on replay as many times as you want, you'll notice that foot stepping on the plate. its just that if you go back to the replay, look where the catchers mitt is when he catches the ball, and tell me that the ball did not go straight over the plate. the pitcher is arguing that the pitch was a strike in the strike zone
@jtw5504 Where in the rule booksdoes it say if batter steps out of the box the pitch is a strike? Nope, not there! Only thing there... if batter makes contact with the ball while his foot is touching the ground completely outside of the batter's box, the batter is out. Time to read the rule book again!
People if you dont play baseball, dont make stupid comments on this video. If you dont notice, the pitcher is clearly upset at the fact that the batter didnt just stand there and get hit which is perfectly fine. But the batter leans into it. He makes a very obvious step closer to home plate.
In order to be out when stepping on the plate, he'd have to swing and make contact, he didn't. BUT, pitcher should have been ejected and umpire was a bit combatitve!
@ArxVirtus Where in the world do you guys get these rules? There is NOTHING IN THE BOOK that says this! the only thing in there about trying to get his is that he stays at bat if he makes no attempt to avoid the pitch. Quit making rules up and learn the game!
@ILOVEUMPS If the batter steps into the path of the ball in an attempt to get hit by a pitch on purpose, it is an AUTOMATIC OUT. The fact that he stepped on the plate in this case means is illustrative of the fact that he tried to step INTO the path of the ball.
Google the phrase "intentionally get in the way of the ball" and click on the first link, fucker.
@ArxVirtus First link in google does not say what you are saying. I have umpired now for over 20 years. Google the NCAA rule book. Nothing in there about an out for stepping into a pitch. Same for NFHS (high school) rule book. I can care less what any other lin says because they are not the rule book.
@ArxVirtus Straight from the NCAA and NFHS rule books. "If the batter intentionally gets touched by moving or rolling any part of his body into the pitch and the batter does not swing, the ball is immediately dead; the umpire shall call a strike or ball in accordance with 7-4b and 7-5a." That means the ball is dead and is rule a ball or strike based on the location of the pitch as if the batter did not get hit. Call me a fucker all you want, I know the rules, and you do not.
@ArxVirtus Are you blind? I said HS rules (NFHS) say the same thing. But since you want to argue... HS Rule 7-4-3 art 4. The batter shall not permit a pitched ball to touch him. Penalty: the batter remains at bat (pitch is a ball or strike) unless pitch was third strike or ball four (rule book page 43).
@ArxVirtus Now, where you are most likely getting confused is the rule regarding interference by the batter on a catcher fielding or throwing the ball. That is usually when the catcher is attempting to throw out a person stealing a base and the batter steps out of the box and interferes with the throw. It is not on the pitch itself
that catcher needs to get in front of his pitcher and keep him away from the ump rather than just let him freak out on the umpire. watch how he just steps aside
the batter and ump r both black i think

I can almost understand the pitcher's anger. With the bases loaded, the batter steps out of the batter's box (it even appears he is stepping on the plate!) in order to get hit with the pitch. That should NOT have been ruled as a hit-by-pitch. Watch the batter's right foot.

a foot step on home plate is legal when swinging the bat. the only time its not legal is when squaring to bunt.

@PieBob1313 actually you can't step on home plate when making contact with a ball period. if you do, you are out. if a batter does not make contact with the ball when he steps on the plate, it is nothing. I am assuming that this is ball 4 and not a hit by pitch because the umpire never called time, which would have been called for a hit batter. Another thing that made this look bad is that the umpire stood up and turned as if to make a strike call. either way, the pitcher should be ejected!

The batter didn't get hit, morons. If he got hit the umpire would have called "DEAD BALL." It was ball 4. The pitcher argues that the batter should be out for stepping on the plate. HOWEVER, he's only out if he contacts the ball while stepping on the plate (or anywhere outside the batters box). the ball did not touch the batter. It was ball 4 and the pitcher is fishing for a call that he just made up on the spot. Good umpire.

@markscarpa he is complaining about the pitch being called a ball, he hits the plate because he was most likely screaming that it was over the plate and not a ball, so you are the moron

@markscarpa that pitch was a strike.... im a ump and i know that that pitch is a strike... if a batter moves in like that the strike zone doesnt move with him..... it was a good pitch but he is one of those douchbag batters who tries to make it look like it was close to hitting him by moving closer into the plate... Pitcher is right should have been a strike......

@markscarpa
"The pitcher argues that the batter should be out for stepping on the plate."
The pitcher is arguing that it should be a strike. He points out that he's stepping on the plate merely to illustrate that the fact that just because it is close to the hitter doesn't mean it's inside, because the batter is too close to the plate (or on it).

@markscarpa only if his foot is ALL the way out of the box and makes contact is he out....half his foot could be in the box and the other could touch the plate and he hits the ball into play and, its still a live ball
hip27fan 6 months ago
@markscarpa although your argument is a good one, thats not what hes arguing at all. i mean, seeing it on replay as many times as you want, you'll notice that foot stepping on the plate. its just that if you go back to the replay, look where the catchers mitt is when he catches the ball, and tell me that the ball did not go straight over the plate. the pitcher is arguing that the pitch was a strike in the strike zone

@jtw5504 Where in the rule booksdoes it say if batter steps out of the box the pitch is a strike? Nope, not there! Only thing there... if batter makes contact with the ball while his foot is touching the ground completely outside of the batter's box, the batter is out. Time to read the rule book again!

People if you dont play baseball, dont make stupid comments on this video. If you dont notice, the pitcher is clearly upset at the fact that the batter didnt just stand there and get hit which is perfectly fine. But the batter leans into it. He makes a very obvious step closer to home plate.

In order to be out when stepping on the plate, he'd have to swing and make contact, he didn't. BUT, pitcher should have been ejected and umpire was a bit combatitve!

@BestMusicExpert - He stepped on the plate in an attempt to get hit by the pitch. The right call is an automatic out.
ArxVirtus 8 months ago
@ArxVirtus Where in the world do you guys get these rules? There is NOTHING IN THE BOOK that says this! the only thing in there about trying to get his is that he stays at bat if he makes no attempt to avoid the pitch. Quit making rules up and learn the game!
ILOVEUMPS 8 months ago
@ILOVEUMPS If the batter steps into the path of the ball in an attempt to get hit by a pitch on purpose, it is an AUTOMATIC OUT. The fact that he stepped on the plate in this case means is illustrative of the fact that he tried to step INTO the path of the ball.
Google the phrase "intentionally get in the way of the ball" and click on the first link, fucker.
ArxVirtus 8 months ago
@ArxVirtus First link in google does not say what you are saying. I have umpired now for over 20 years. Google the NCAA rule book. Nothing in there about an out for stepping into a pitch. Same for NFHS (high school) rule book. I can care less what any other lin says because they are not the rule book.
ILOVEUMPS 8 months ago
@ArxVirtus Straight from the NCAA and NFHS rule books. "If the batter intentionally gets touched by moving or rolling any part of his body into the pitch and the batter does not swing, the ball is immediately dead; the umpire shall call a strike or ball in accordance with 7-4b and 7-5a." That means the ball is dead and is rule a ball or strike based on the location of the pitch as if the batter did not get hit. Call me a fucker all you want, I know the rules, and you do not.

@ILOVEUMPS Where does it say this is an NCAA game, buttmunch?
ArxVirtus 8 months ago
@ArxVirtus Are you blind? I said HS rules (NFHS) say the same thing. But since you want to argue... HS Rule 7-4-3 art 4. The batter shall not permit a pitched ball to touch him. Penalty: the batter remains at bat (pitch is a ball or strike) unless pitch was third strike or ball four (rule book page 43).
ILOVEUMPS 8 months ago
@ArxVirtus Now, where you are most likely getting confused is the rule regarding interference by the batter on a catcher fielding or throwing the ball. That is usually when the catcher is attempting to throw out a person stealing a base and the batter steps out of the box and interferes with the throw. It is not on the pitch itself
