I know the umpire personally. He tossed him for throwing the bat.

[tmorini91]

they were talking about earlier in the game dumbass

@jhagen88 me too

I think he tossed his bat because he thought it was ball four. Not out of anger... nothing in the rules about being presumptuous.

@sawranch .... There are MANY umpires in the bigs who get confrontational (Bob Davidson, Joe West ... even Scott Barry with Ryan Howard last year), or who have ego issues. I don't think anyone is averse to it, and maybe this was one of those days. He made a mistake. If it is true and it was for the bat toss as asserted (and not for anything said).......

@GJsevens ... Everyone makes mistakes. He should have talked with his partners. He is lucky. At the level I do there are just two of us. =)

And to everyone else who is knocking it, try umpiring (at any level) before you criticize. It is not that simple. Yeah I know, blah blah blah witty comeback snappy retort broomshed poopstick, but anyway. (I am just preparing for the "Well, I do it and have a better strike zone than God.")

@jhagen88 ... We all make mistakes, and this guy is obviously a better umpire than I will ever be (I have only been doing it a couple of years, and soccer more than that).

That being said, he could have asked for help or to avoid any problems let it go and not eject him. There was no throwing of the bat. He tossed it toward the dugout when he thought it was ball four. Doing this is just not good for the player because he is getting tossed for an umpire's subjective misinterpretation.

@jhagen88 why wouldn't you throw the bat if you thought it was a walk? Seriously... Your opinion is biased and the umpire made a bad call. If you think that call was fair, you must be blind and ignorant as fuck.

[usmcgunner58]

@jhagen88 then would you mind punching him in the face and telling him he's an embarassment to baseball? Thanks so much

@mbaldwin944

Good for him but Yah that is Sad he is in the Bigs, and he is still horrible and not liked by to many players there either.

[GJsevens]

@MeatLoafFan47

Your right on! Exactly what I thought! Just a scared inexperienced umpire.

@sawranch

Good Job though? To bad it was a horrible job and he threw me out because he has no clue what he was doing. When a player bends down to take a shin guard off and toss his bat to the side for the bat boy is because they assume it was ball four not "throwing my bat" because I didnt like the call of strike three. Also I was asked by the head umpire if he could use that clip in their umpiring school of what NOT to do. Can't just make a call of tossing a player on an assumption.
