What is wrong with these umpires, thinking they're bigger than the game. That's some 16-ply effing horse dung response with an ego to go along with it. Effing embarrassing.
Because umpires have to act like big shots. They think they can have the highest power to eject anyone. In this case Hunter was either tone death or out of his mind. Once he sees the footage of the guy in the blue shirt CLEARLY the one who screamed at him instead of Boone, he’s gonna look like a complete fool. It not only is embarrassing for Boone to be ejected but Hunter is definitely gonna look like a complete quote “jackass” for throwing Boone out for Absolutely Nothing.
The worst part is the ump didn’t care…. This was bad. The reason by the ump was equally bad. Plus the other ump should have said something but did. This whole situation makes the umpires bad again
Umpires nowadays absolutely suck, in all aspects of the game. Something has to be done. Same with refs in hocky and basketball. It's a big problem in my eyes. They have be accountable and suspended with all these wrong calls. Very aggravating.
The umpire was wrong for throwing Aaron Boone out! Plain & simple this shouldn’t be about Boone’s previous ejections & how umpires are tired of him…the umpire mishandled what “ he felt “ happened all wrong & should be punished by mlb for it, case closed!
Monday afternoon game, Ump crew probably got into New York late from their Sunday assignment and Hunter was pretty grumpy to start the game. It’s not right but that’s why he had such a short wick.
Fantasy booking: Tomorrow, when the teams present the line up cards, Aaron Judge tells the umps that the Jackass has 10 minutes to publicly apologize or there will be no game today. Scenario 2: Hal demands an apology. If it doesn't happen, security removes the ump from the stadium. Scenario 3. The ump refuses to apologize. Over the PA system, we hear glass breaking and guitars blaring. Out of the Yankee dugout comes Stone Cold Steve Austin, who kicks the ump in the gut and gives him a stunner. I realize the game has gotten all corporate and wimpy these days. But, I'd like to see #1 happen.
The whole culture of umpires regularly ejecting people from games has to go. Unless someone is interfering with how the game is played, suck it up and keep it moving.
I want to make a comment. I think the problem that Boone made was that he changed the lineup. Because when, Torres was batting first, I know that he wasn't doing nothing, but with Volpe in the 5th or 6th batting position. He was batting hits and homeruns and boost the other players. When Boone changed putting Volpe 1st, he is doing nothing, same for Torres in that 5th or 6th spot. I think that he needs to put the lineup back the way it was with Torres batting 1st or sit him down, because he needs to go. Also, put Volpe back in the 5th or 6th position like it was when the season started. Thank you, this is my opinion
Time to get rid of umpires. I can’t believe I am saying this because I always said I would never be for robo umps. These past couple years have changed my mind.
Umps like Hunter & Angel are giving MLB all the ammunition it needs to implement robo-umps. And when that happens, the players, managers, media & fans will all be celebrating.
Does this ump have a history/ongoing beef with Aaron Boone that this West Coast casual MLB fans doesn't know about? When Boone says he didn't say anything and it was a fan who said it, and Wendelstadt says "I don't care!," that's kind of a tell right there.
The problem is umpires are way too sensitive because they're getting called out for their bullshit calls. They reaped this as well by backing bad umpires.
(e) Each umpire has authority at his discretion to eject from the playing fiel, and (2) any spectator or other person not authorized to be on the playing field.
6.04 Unsportsmanlike Conduct (a) No manager, player, substitute, coach, trainer or batboy shall (1) Incite, or try to incite, by word or sign a demonstration by spectators; (2) Use language which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon opposing players, an umpire, or any spectator; at any time, whether from the bench, the coach’s box or on the playing field, or elsewhere
When the CBA with the Umpires union expires, I hope that MLB does not renew their contract. The game can be officiated without them. Players may need to adjust by playing every batted ball as if it's in play, even if it turns out to be a foul ball. But MLB should figure out how to officiate the game by officials looking at video without slowing the game down.
There was no excuse for Aaron Boone to be thrown out. There's video evidence proving that it was a fan, and there's proof Boone said nothing when he got thrown out. Hunter Wendelstedt needs to be suspended for a few games. But nothing will be done, Joe Torre is a joke when it comes to the umpires and accountability.
Really? Cuz I remember Trump getting boed out of the building in the 19 world series. Is that Bec liberals are more polite? I remember a bunch of right wingers trying to take over the capitol building. Wanna discuss that?
@@DanielCadarette can’t is a little strong, but the hoops they have to go through with the Umpires union isn’t worth the time or money. Manfred can’t just suspend umpires like they can players. Hence why Angel still has a job
@@Schwizzzz That's why major league umpires are so haughty, self-righteous, and arrogant. Because there are zero repercussions for their actions. Zero.
Lets set somethjng straight. The manager/head coach is responsible for all of the managers, coaches, and players. They have to control them. And yes, if the umpires opinion it was egregious enough, they can eject the player and/or head coach. Because ultimately in the rulebook the head coach/manager is in charge.
It's different with little league and pony vs. MLB. Focusing only on the fan being unruly, the umpire can either eject the fan (have the fan removed) or eject the head coach. Because again, the head coach/manager is responsible to keep things civil. With that being said normallynin little league and pony (because it is a smaller fan base), the coach should have a better handle with controlling everyone. Compared to minor league and major league. It would have been more reasonable for the umpire to eject the fan (have security or the police remove him) if the fan was being unruly.
Although it's not against any rules for Hunter to eject the manager for an unruly ran. Especially after a warning is in rulebook. But it's not fair for Aaron Boone to be ejected especially since he didn't say anything after the warning. And even Hunter said he didn't know who said it, but assumed it was Aaron so he threw him out. The better option would have been to just ignore it if he didn't see who it was. Or if he was that bothered go figure out who it was and throw rhe right person out. Or in this case have the fan removed.
Not all, but some of these umps are like overzealous bouncers at clubs. They have this one part of their lives where they have a bit of power and they abuse the hell out of it.
wouldn't make a difference. He doesn't...okay. You're right. This is over reach. Every umpire doing their job correctly is never the story. And I'm a Boston fan.
Wow, just a blatant lie by the ump. I actually used to be a pretty big baseball fan but they've destroyed the sport in the last 10 years. Between all these nonsense rules like the pitch clock and starting a runner on second in extra innings, and then on top of it having umpires with glass feelings now. It's the weirdest thing. I remember in the '70s and '80s where a manager or a player could basically get in a screaming match with an umpire over a call and would be allowed to say their peace but wouldn't get ejected unless they made physical contact with the umpire. Now they are the most fragile human beings on the face of the earth and will eject people over literally nothing. Someone needs to stop the reign of these evil umpires. They have gotten way out of control. It's almost as if they think people are buying tickets to see them, and not the teams play.
Oh wow lmao this guy is straight lying. He doesn’t want to admit he was wrong in thinking the yelling fan was Boone, so he comes up with some bogus story about someone from the other end of the dugout. Someone needs to review the footage and find this so called player in the dugout and also review this umps past games and see if he’s ever ejected the manager because a player was barking. I’ve never heard of such a thing
Yeah Hunter the Umpire should be embarrassed him for himself no he embarrassed himself he embarrasses his whole family because now I heard his wife told me I had to sleep on the couch with one eye open wow that's pathetic as a umpire Major League baseball power and a husband when the wife told you sleep on the couch basically when she just told you she put you in the dog house wow man that's pathetic.? @aduncaroo
I don't think that that fan deserves that, but he should get called out for it for basically csusing that to happen. Ref was already antsy with Boone and he lacked the mental awareness to not shut his yap when he was right over the dugout. Pretty sus that he changed shirts after that too.
The umpires are sick and tired of what? Being incompetent and thin skinned! MLB has no balls and I don’t mean baseballs the umpires union has a good grip on those balls. Replace the umpires with Ai it would be better for the league.
Hunter got embarrassed and then lied to cover for it. It was embarrassing for baseball
💯
And Manfred will do absolutely nothing except fine and suspend Boone.
Time to replace umpires with technology.
The manager runs the dugout, not the fans in the stands above the dugout.
What’s crazy is the umpire literally does not care because he knows nothing will happen to him.
My money says that MLB does nothing about it, except maybe a mildly worded semi-appology.
Just like the ohtani case
MLB motto is sweep everything under the rug. Nothing to see here.
This is correct. MLB is the worst league in the country. They don’t care about fans or players.
Angel H still has a job after years and years of atrocious calls. The MLB isn’t going to do a thing about this.
@jerrodravid5371 yep. We should have forgotten Angel's name years ago. But, he's still around embarrassing the game.
This umpire needs to be suspended
He won't be. ESPN is already defending him.
Fired!!!!
These stupid idiot umpires have way to much power. I'm so sick of this shit.
Good thing this occurred, this is the one of the worst ejections ever. Maybe it sparks something
@mbdg6810 nothing will happen unless something someone raises hell and upsets Manfred.
With great power comes great responsibility. Hunter showed non today.
It was actually refreshing to watch a game without Boone whining about every border line call.@@mbdg6810
@@mbdg6810doubtful. The umpires union is strong
What's to stop a fan from the opposing team to heckle the ump and get Boone Ejected?
Now, nothing.
Here’s a crazy concept… do your f’n job right and you don’t have to worry about managers and coaches yelling at you so much
Mike Francesa needs to do his take on this 🤣
“These guys have huge egos. It’s stupid! Back afta this.” -Mike, probably
What is wrong with these umpires, thinking they're bigger than the game. That's some 16-ply effing horse dung response with an ego to go along with it. Effing embarrassing.
Agree totally the umpires think the ARE THE GAME!!! ARROGANCE... They are a detriment to the game. DISGRACEFULL
Because umpires have to act like big shots. They think they can have the highest power to eject anyone. In this case Hunter was either tone death or out of his mind.

Boone is responsible for the players/team but obviously not the fans
Nothing will happen. The umpires union will protect the ump. Also, MLB will probably fine Boone for saying the ump screwed up.
We need younger umps that understands the game and knows the rules of the games. Now everybody is going to target Boone to get ejected everytime.
That was ridiculous. Are umps really *that* fragile and insecure? Wow.
Yes
Yes, they are. And also bulletproof.
The ump needs to be reprimanded
The worst part is the ump didn’t care…. This was bad. The reason by the ump was equally bad. Plus the other ump should have said something but did. This whole situation makes the umpires bad again
Oh well, we all LOVE THE HUMAN ELEMENT, don’t we?!
Why didn’t get a cam review 😂
Man, I'd love to see how Billy Martin would have reacted. That ump would have had an ass full of cleats.
I wanna know how he manages to exit the stadium intact…lol
"i do research. no i don't know u did anything" lol
Is part of this that umpires now get over ruled by replay. Now they exert authority that much more to compensate.
Baseball has an umpiring problem yet again
Umpires nowadays absolutely suck, in all aspects of the game. Something has to be done. Same with refs in hocky and basketball. It's a big problem in my eyes. They have be accountable and suspended with all these wrong calls. Very aggravating.

Monday afternoon game, Ump crew probably got into New York late from their Sunday assignment and Hunter was pretty grumpy to start the game. It’s not right but that’s why he had such a short wick.
I’m surprised no one tried to fight him or like clearing the benches
Boone is now the Yankees all time leader in managerial ejections
Honestly surprised it didnt happen earlier lol
Great to live in 2024 when Peter can work from his parents house in Maryland

This is why robot umps might take over.
He did Boone a favor! He didn’t have to watch that piss poor performance by the offense.

That would be incredible.
Technically under rule 6.04, the umpire can actually clear the bench
if they know that, they should know that they always call low balls as strikes on judge- yet they dont adjust
The ump cleat said “ he did not care”….
IN the dugout...
That's the key words here.
The whole culture of umpires regularly ejecting people from games has to go. Unless someone is interfering with how the game is played, suck it up and keep it moving.
It’s called having a bad reputation! He’s done this to himself!
I want to make a comment. I think the problem that Boone made was that he changed the lineup.

I wish boone had walked out calmly and said in a non argumentative way that it was a fan. Hinter still needs to admit he was wrong though too.
MLB is becoming a joke with these UMPS. absolutely ridiculous
I hate the Yank but this Umpire need to be suspend or discipline by MLB
Time to get rid of umpires. I can’t believe I am saying this because I always said I would never be for robo umps. These past couple years have changed my mind.
The players really let Boone down yesterday. He took a stray bullet and they did nothing offensively to back him up.

How about a new rule that a player/coach can't be ejected for yelling from the dugout?
It'd have to depend what they said i think lol
(e) Each umpire has authority at his discretion to eject from the
playing fiel, and (2) any spectator
or other person not authorized to be on the playing field.
