Ejections are the best way to determine how good or bad umpires are in my opinion. Each and every one of them is going to make terrible calls at some point, it’s just too hard to rank them by accuracy. The good umpires are the ones who only reserve ejections for when either a player’s temper is very hot (self-explanatory), when a play commits an unsportsmanlike conduct (like a pitcher retaliating with a HBP after allowing a home run), or when tensions are heightened (like ejecting a pitcher for hitting someone with a fastball after warnings were issued). The terrible umpires eject players when there’s no tension in-game (the first clip) or when the ejected player has no temper (second and third clip)

If Anyone Could Find This Footage You'll See It Surpasses All Ejections By Far.. It's Hard To Believe But It Really Happened.
These umpires have as fragile of an ego as you can imagine. It’s pretty pathetic that they dictate who stays in games based off of their emotions. They don’t want to be told they’re wrong.
@@RockstarFlipper Yes,it does matter.Some umpires hold grudges against certain mangers and players.Now,when watching the game on tv,you can't hear what the players,managers and Umps say to each other.Sometimes it gets really heated,like cursing at umps and the umps talk/curse back.The managers and players have a stat report on which managers call certain strikes in the strike zone.Also,Managers and players will sometimes have a brief conversation with the umps before the game starts and it is very brief,because the umps and MLB doesn't want the players and managers get to friendly.
Let’s not forget the one time Bryce Harper got ejected for taking too long to get into the batters box, when he was waiting for the umpire to stop arguing with his manager
2:10 Ah, the old talk trash about the umpire when he's standing right there, and then pull the, "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to him!" routine. Classic stuff.

@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS really I don’t know, but watching the video of Stroman and Martin getting ejected they acted pretty calmly and it seemed to just be an argument about balls and strikes before they were ejected.

@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS it makes sense, it’s just that often times umpires go on some kind of power trip.

I’m I 100% sure he was just arguing balls and strikes, no but it just seems more likely then him saying something personal to the umpire.
Unfortunately, just like the sport I officiate (track and field) there are umpires that have a complex and need to prove they are “the big man on campus” to coin the phrase. They come in with a chip on their shoulder, just looking for an excuse to eject people. Sad really.
If I am the MLB president, I would make a clear rules for the umpires! 1. You have to be careful watching the ball and not making a distraction! 2. If you ejected the players and managers for no reason, then you will be suspended for approximately 10 games. If second times- 25 games. Third, fired! 3. NO MAKING UP THE CALLS!!!!!
And yet more video proof that umpires have to have the power to eject players taken away. These umpires have inserted themselves into the game in ways they were never meant to be in.

I love how this video is titled "MLB Ejected for No Reason", but in a couple of the clips, the reason is obvious. At 2:15 - if you come out of the dugout to argue balls and strikes that's grounds for ejection. AJ Burnett's reaction? Clearly grounds for an ejection. The rest seem pretty bad, though.
In every case here there is some motive for the ejection. Whether or not it's justified is another question. But I did not see a single clip where the ejected player or coach said or did absolutely nothing.
@@Idekreally I never said he did something wrong. I said he did something. He hit the batter with a pitch.

These ejections weren’t for no reason. There are a lot of rules in baseball that people don’t know. So if it seems like the guy just said it was outside or something and he got ejected he probably said something rude or made a snarky comment. (not saying some calls aren’t bad)

If MLB reviewed ejections, no doubt they would find every single one justified, based on what "might have" been said. So there would never be a fine or suspension. We need to make umps reluctant, and the only way I see absent MLB assessing discipline is to make the ump stay after the game to write out a detailed report, longhand, of the entire incident. Alone. No help from anybody. Maybe one or two will stop and think "is it worth the paperwork?" Its not much, but I don't see MLB doing anything punitive. I contacted MLB about umpire behavior being unprofessional some 25 years ago. I got an actual dead-tree response supposedly signed by the Commissioner himself, promising he was forming a committee on just that problem. You can tell what thst promise was worth. Of course it was just a form letter, one of dozens of templates MLB used. Some minimum wage staffer just takes one off the appropriate stack for the complaint and stuffs it into an envelope.

@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS I’m sure you have your reasons for saying so, but it still doesn’t change the fact that umpires behind the plate are chronically inconsistent. It has nothing to do with “balls”, it has to do with human fallibility.
Or maybe realize that there's still a game to play, and just let it go when an ump makes a bad call. That shit happens. Easier said than done sure but just some food for thought
2:54 was not for no reason. It’s a rule in the MLB that if a player throws any gear down (helmet, bat, gloves, whatever) in anger like that, it’s an automatic ejection 🤷🏻♂️
Two of the pitching calls in my opinion were borderline pitches. I think he made the right call of course would have said the samething for the other call because looked close.
First one: Catcher should've went too -- more of a cause to toss him than the pitcher. Second one: That was a Fuck You -- and when the catcher called him on it (in whatever form he actually did), gone. Third one: Only problem I have with this one is toss him to his face. It's clear Balkin' Bob wanted to do it, so just do it and be done with it. Fourth one: Joe West should've thrown Buehrle after the first balk, because it was clear he was gonna get on him til he tossed him. Fifth one: That's the "mound visit to argue balls and strikes". To me, that should be the pitcher gone too, as an administrative point. Sixth one: He literally pointed right where that pitch was -- you point, you gone. That simple, same as for batters! Seventh one: This is why Bryce Harper ain't. worth. shit. Serious intensity problem and umpire problem. Eighth one: Same kind of play with Harper. Last one: Arguing balls and strikes. Nice video. Maybe TWO of them qualified?
Really simple way to silence a lot of the criticism of umpires being able to power trip and not be held to account is making ALL punishments for umpires public. Of course, the glorious workers union will not allow that, and it would bring to light the fact they're not doing a damn thing to punish these guys that fuck up. All of them need to be Mic'd, there needs to be a review of every ejection by off sight personnel, and continuous overturning of the ejections need to be grounds for termination.
Baseball umps are the biggest woosies in professional sports and something should be done about them. They have eliminated all drama and excitement of sports in an already slow and boring game. I used to love baseball. I only watch the WS and will never attend a live game again.
often wonder if the umps get paid extra for ejections since some of these are stupid. ohter umpires ought to be allowed to step in and tell the guy to calm down and reverse it. or add a rule to appeals to ny where you can appeal and ejection
Actually I’ve seen a few managers eject some umpires which is pretty rare but they will do what they have to do if they feel that their ejection was unfair so they’ll throw the umpires out if the umpires threw them out for absolutely no reason
Does it matter if their was no warning? The ump can throw out any pitcher if it looks like he throws at the batter on purpose and that's what it looks like here so i can't fault the ump with this call.
The ruling is that the umpires don’t need to give a warning before they eject someone they don’t even have to argue with the manager about it. Manners always start arguing with a ejection happens
If you're saying continue pitching after a bad call, yes I agree with you. Arguing balls and strikes with an ump is an automatic hook majority of the time so it's honestly not even worth it. There's still a game to play.
Some of the umpires have made the game all about themselves. The teams should refuse to play. Take the forfeit if necessary. MLB needs to rein in these bad umpires.
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS baseball where the umpires don't get into the middle of the game, where they don't make the game about themselves, baseball where the players play the game and the referees don't direct the game to a certain outcome. Get rid of the bad umpires. There are plenty who don't blow calls or have excessive bad calls. We know who the umpires are that continually make bad calls or who are thin skinned, touchy and temperamental. Those are the ones we need out of the game.
I think players should only get a fine for hitting an umpire some of them need to catch hands for the crap that pull. Make them think long and hard before blowing calls and tossing out players and coaches at the very least hit them with a fastball right in the mask
One day a Ump is going to go too far and someone will shove their bat up their backside like in the movie Hancock. LOL Now that will be a fun You Tube video
Let’s be clear most of these people were thrown out for a reason. It may have not been good ones but it was for a reason. I also hate Bob Davidson I was so happy to hear he retired.
@@hirkalarentarim2893 I don’t know sometimes I feel like they just take it too far I was taught when you work for a team you leave your fandom at the door
He was tossed for an equipment violation. That's a fine at the very least (and all three guys involved were fined for this incident), if not an ejection. It's umpire discretion.
The only "Karen ump" ejections I saw in this video was Joe West baiting Mark Buerhle into tossing his glove. The rest were clear "arguing balls and strikes" or equipment violations.
2:53 -- No that ejection was fair game. This isn't football, you don't spike your helmet...which happened to nearly hit that ump too! 3:34 -- And you don't spike the baseball either!
Unpopular opinion, but I don't think the A.J. Burnett ejection was entirely unjustified. The context was that Burnett had been unhappy with a previous call near the same area, and was basically saying "oh, so you wanna call that one a ball when the last one was a strike?" Showing up the umpire like that is likely to get you ejected, it's just not a wise thing to do. I think the umpire's reaction was a bit extreme, but I also think he had the right to throw Burnett out.
I love how the hawk isn't afraid to show his feelings. Most announcers wouldn't yell "this guy needs a suspension" after a stupid ejection.
You’ve gotta be beeping me!!
@@OrsilloFanClub lol I love that play
I’m surprised after the game Hawk didn’t go down to the ump locker room and try to kill them

Some umpires need head-butted to the ground
"I don't like or agree with the reason" isn't the same as "no reason".
Umpires are the biggest joke of MLB. They are an embarrassment to the game.
How?
Should rename this video "when umpires think they're the star of the show"
Umps need to grow some thicker skin
Or maybe realize that there's still a game to play, and just let it go when an ump makes a bad call. That shit happens. Easier said than done sure but just some food for thought
0:05- And........ this is a clear reason I HATE Sam Holbrook! He is one of the meanest umpires in the game! 😡😠
2:00 there’s no way they allowed Angel Hernandez to be in the same game as Joe West right?
There's this thing called the umpire's union. The players have one, the umps do too.
I think they worked on the same crew together for a while.. Why on Earth anyone thought that was a good idea.. I'll never know
They did earlier in their career and they didn’t feel the same way about each other as the do no
2:54 was not for no reason. It’s a rule in the MLB that if a player throws any gear down (helmet, bat, gloves, whatever) in anger like that, it’s an automatic ejection 🤷🏻♂️
I just wonder why we recruit our umpires from senior homes.
So we don’t have to pay them as much social security
Two of the pitching calls in my opinion were borderline pitches. I think he made the right call of course would have said the samething for the other call because looked close.
Oh, there's ALWAYS a reason...
First one: Catcher should've went too -- more of a cause to toss him than the pitcher.
Second one: That was a Fuck You -- and when the catcher called him on it (in whatever form he actually did), gone.
Third one: Only problem I have with this one is toss him to his face. It's clear Balkin' Bob wanted to do it, so just do it and be done with it.
Fourth one: Joe West should've thrown Buehrle after the first balk, because it was clear he was gonna get on him til he tossed him.
Fifth one: That's the "mound visit to argue balls and strikes". To me, that should be the pitcher gone too, as an administrative point.
Sixth one: He literally pointed right where that pitch was -- you point, you gone. That simple, same as for batters!
Seventh one: This is why Bryce Harper ain't. worth. shit. Serious intensity problem and umpire problem.
Eighth one: Same kind of play with Harper.
Last one: Arguing balls and strikes.
Nice video. Maybe TWO of them qualified?
I'm sure that most of these umpires got raises for these calls instead of getting at least demoted.
They can make more money the accurate they are
The umpires shouldn't walk after players. They need to stay behind the plate where they belong.
Really simple way to silence a lot of the criticism of umpires being able to power trip and not be held to account is making ALL punishments for umpires public. Of course, the glorious workers union will not allow that, and it would bring to light the fact they're not doing a damn thing to punish these guys that fuck up.
All of them need to be Mic'd, there needs to be a review of every ejection by off sight personnel, and continuous overturning of the ejections need to be grounds for termination.
Such a dramatic gesture... 🙄
He should have thrown out the catcher as well
That last pitch was low.
👍
Baseball umps are the biggest woosies in professional sports and something should be done about them. They have eliminated all drama and excitement of sports in an already slow and boring game. I used to love baseball. I only watch the WS and will never attend a live game again.
often wonder if the umps get paid extra for ejections since some of these are stupid. ohter umpires ought to be allowed to step in and tell the guy to calm down and reverse it. or add a rule to appeals to ny where you can appeal and ejection
Too bad a manager doesn't have the power to eject an umpire. That would smarten them up.
Only the commissioner can to that
Actually I’ve seen a few managers eject some umpires which is pretty rare but they will do what they have to do if they feel that their ejection was unfair so they’ll throw the umpires out if the umpires threw them out for absolutely no reason
Does it matter if their was no warning? The ump can throw out any pitcher if it looks like he throws at the batter on purpose and that's what it looks like here so i can't fault the ump with this call.
Yeah, those 77 mph are sliders are always the go to for revenge.
@@timdarnell7819 Umpire discretion.
@@timdarnell7819 Who knows, maybe pitchers are masking intentional HBP with off-speed stuff. Makes sense to me.
The ruling is that the umpires don’t need to give a warning before they eject someone they don’t even have to argue with the manager about it. Manners always start arguing with a ejection happens
I would just continue pitching.
If you're saying continue pitching after a bad call, yes I agree with you. Arguing balls and strikes with an ump is an automatic hook majority of the time so it's honestly not even worth it. There's still a game to play.
Some of the umpires have made the game all about themselves. The teams should refuse to play. Take the forfeit if necessary. MLB needs to rein in these bad umpires.
What kinda baseball are you proposing we play?
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS baseball where the umpires don't get into the middle of the game, where they don't make the game about themselves, baseball where the players play the game and the referees don't direct the game to a certain outcome. Get rid of the bad umpires. There are plenty who don't blow calls or have excessive bad calls. We know who the umpires are that continually make bad calls or who are thin skinned, touchy and temperamental. Those are the ones we need out of the game.
Daniel had no reason to throw out the catcher
We need to just get rid of Umps, there's no accountability.
Players need to be accountable too.
You're. It's you're. Jeez.
Joe West and Angel Hernandez really need to go
Umpires are taking bribe money so a team will lose the game. 7.4.2022
I think players should only get a fine for hitting an umpire some of them need to catch hands for the crap that pull. Make them think long and hard before blowing calls and tossing out players and coaches at the very least hit them with a fastball right in the mask
These umpires need their addresses dropped in the comments
Looks like there was a reason for everyone of them. Ad you'd expect.
No legit reasons though
@@timdarnell7819 arguing balls/strikes and equipment violations are legit reasons. That's not even considering what may have been said.
One day a Ump is going to go too far and someone will shove their bat up their backside like in the movie Hancock. LOL Now that will be a fun You Tube video
Let’s be clear most of these people were thrown out for a reason. It may have not been good ones but it was for a reason. I also hate Bob Davidson I was so happy to hear he retired.
한국 심판들이 메이저도 진출했나
Umpires are the main reason I don’t watch baseball.
No one watches what you do either.
1:59 The White Sox announcers are the most biased announcers in the MLB in and this proves it and I thought it was just Hawk before he retired
Not gonna lie, I loved the passion of that broadcasting crew.
The announcers employed by the team and heard by the fans of that team are biased toward that team?!?!? Oh lawd!
@@hirkalarentarim2893 I don’t know sometimes I feel like they just take it too far I was taught when you work for a team you leave your fandom at the door
@@dirty.dan37 different strokes for different folks my guy
There are so many these videos, umps need to go, or they need to be more publicly held accountable for their actions.
His outa here what?
Power hungry umpires ruining baseball !
Clueless fans whining on youtube
Imagine, a pitcher being ejected seemingly for simply committing a balk. What's this world coming to, anyway?
I think it was for tossing his glove in reaction to the call.
He was tossed for an equipment violation. That's a fine at the very least (and all three guys involved were fined for this incident), if not an ejection. It's umpire discretion.
Just sayin this, Angel Hernandez just kissed Mark Buehrle right on the mouth.
Bunch of overly sensitive babies the umpires are. Ridiculous.
Nothin you can do to Union employees. Doesn't matter how terrible they are.
This is because the league let's blind Karens be umpires. The Karen Union is too strong.
The only "Karen ump" ejections I saw in this video was Joe West baiting Mark Buerhle into tossing his glove. The rest were clear "arguing balls and strikes" or equipment violations.
2:53 -- No that ejection was fair game. This isn't football, you don't spike your helmet...which happened to nearly hit that ump too!
3:34 -- And you don't spike the baseball either!
Yeah...damn those human beings for showing emotion.
@@Harvick29ism So if a football player removed his helmet and spiked it and it nearly hit one of the zebras...
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp You're trippin. Showing emotion isn't a crime
@@TYreLL0416 There's a right way and a wrong way to show emotion.
mlb umps being as soft as nba refs...
We should replace all these clown with robots. They’ve been ruining the game for far too long.
How about you go out there and umpire a game?
Unpopular opinion, but I don't think the A.J. Burnett ejection was entirely unjustified. The context was that Burnett had been unhappy with a previous call near the same area, and was basically saying "oh, so you wanna call that one a ball when the last one was a strike?" Showing up the umpire like that is likely to get you ejected, it's just not a wise thing to do. I think the umpire's reaction was a bit extreme, but I also think he had the right to throw Burnett out.
I disagree about the Harper throwing his helmet one. A player shouldn't do that, it's very dangerous.
