@@_nivlaCbro what
Sometimes it do be like that
Laz was one of my instructors at umpire school: I don't umpire anymore.
This comment is underrated 🤣😭
sorry about that
Angel Hernandez was a instructor when I went to school
@@thedominatior39 very sorry about that
Diaz is by far not the 2nd worse ump in the league. That honor should go to CB Buckner now that cowboy Joe has retired. Diaz may not be the best, but he doesn't have a quick hook. He allows players and managers alike to argue, unlike others that will immediately toss you for arguing balls and strikes.
Cb is awful. I agree, aside from Devil Hernandez, CB is by the worst
Yes! I thought CB Buckner when I read the title. So many of the 'misses' in this vid were borderline. Many actually looked like good calls.
Arguing balls and strike is an immediate ejection though. What's the issue?
@@tomatoes100 uhh were you watching???
@@HoopsYou this comment is about CB, not the video.
I'd love to see teams just refuse to take the field if Angel is in the crew.
i love how the commentators always say "on the corner" or "just clipped the zone" to protect the umpire. its so comical because you know theyre lying and they know it too lol.
CB BUCKNOR NEXT!
I thought CB Bucknor would be second to be honest
I thought Ron Kulpa would be
Most of the pitches he got wrong were on the outside corner, which are very hittable balls and he was pretty consistent. I was an umpire for 50 years and like to think I can be objective. He may be in the top ten worst but I believe as an overall umpire, not just balls and strikes, Angel is worst, then I would put in CB Bucknor, Ron Kulpa and Phil Cuzzi in order.
Part 3 C. B. Bucknor
As an umpire I think having bonuses or whatever for good work is a good idea. I also think it would be cool if mlb brought some of the pitch tracking technology to college and high school, not only for pitchers but also umpires. If MLB could grab umpires who are good at those levels for the minors it would work better than going to a camp because the minors is on the field action, and ex umpires can help train newbies in the low levels of the minors
Lol you gotta love the commentators in that clip where not once do they mention the umpire making bad calls other than "J.D. Martinez didn't agree"
Umpires union doesn’t like when the broadcast calls them out. You can tell by their voice they don’t agree
I haven't heard of Diaz before this but based off how he's the 2nd worst umpire that's a good thing based off post Pepsi commercial with Mauer and especially with the 21 missed calls
I love how Joe buck just agreed with all those calls. Mindless lol
You could hear in his voice a "wtf" tone though.
It's almost as if some of the umps are purposely sabotaging their profession in order to be replaced by robots.
I really liked that new format of yours!
Thanks for this great content
As a Sox fan, during that ALCS game yes he was bad but he was pretty consistent with his zone so at least he can say that. Even if the zone is wrong, you can adjust to it if it’s consistent
The thing is these guys' jobs revolve around entertainment and being on a massive stage. A person who works in that environment needs to be okay with some legitimate criticism. If they can't take that criticism, they are probably in the wrong line of work.
I mean with those 21 missed calls. Atleast he was consistant where he was calling it
The biggest argument for switching to robot umpires is the umpires themselves. They’re so bad it’s hurting the sport.
Great video iTalk!!!
Great video! Can you make more parts of this series? I really enjoy your commentary on videos like this. Some umpires that I think could go in future videos in this series include: Joe West, Bob Davidson, CB Bucknor, Ron Kulpa, Phil Cuzzi, Alan Porter, Alfonso Marquez, and more.
I thought this video would be about CB Buckner
CB Buckner is my vote for 2nd worse, like Diaz isnt great but he generally is consistent, which is what players really want. Like you said Diaz will fess up to mistakes. Buckner though, when he makes mistakes (which is often) he will throw you out for looking in his general direction.
CB Bucknor for part 3 , these clowns want the game to be about them and ITalk Giving them the exposure they deserve
Angel Hernandez, Laz Diaz, Joe West, and C.B. Bucknor, the dream umpire squad 🤣
Love your videos man favorite baseball CZcamsr
Thank you! I love your profile pic
Joe Buck covering up one of the worst umpired games in history is exactly what I'd expect. Worst broadcaster🤝Worst umpire
Middlebrooks: Here's an idea that I think would be mutually beneficial and reward umps for being accurate while doing a tough job.
Diaz: So I took that personally.
Can't say that Diaz is the second worse. there are some Umpires that easily take that spot. One of them being Ron Culpa.
At least he can admit fault sometimes. Angel hernandez is still saying he got the home run call right in that Cleveland Oakland game like ten years ago.
ik exactly what scenario you’re talking about, someone needs to slap some sense into angel hernandez
The thumbnail has me dead hahahah
I’m not gonna lie I love Laz Diaz and his energy
What's to love about an egotistical dickhead that sucks at their job ?
Diaz is a showboat like his hero Eric Gregg. He always wants to be the center of attention.
Fuck, that missed strike call on Eovaldi hurts. I remember watching that live at home and being so angry cause I know it could’ve ended there. It was a huge turning point in the series. Boston was up 2-1 at home. Inning could’ve been over ☹️
then it rained LOL and when it rains baby it POURS
Yep
You probably still blame Bartman for the Cubs loss in 2003.
I was at that game, it was painful to watch that unfold
Worst umpires are those who deliberately direct the course of big games.
Andy Fletcher, CB Bucknor, and Ron Kulpa: “allow us to introduce ourselves”
I remember Bucknor having 3 overturned calls in 3 days the first year of replay challenges.
Saw this video a few hours ago :). Hope CB Bucknor is next.
I love the pictures of him with a seeing eye dog.
Its so disgraceful how people keep sticking up for these incompetent umpires
You could make a case for both Phil Cuzzi and C.B. Bucknor as those that simply have a job and that are not professional umpires.
How about the worst announcer in baseball.
Joe Buck
The MLB Umpires Union is a tiny window into my critique of some unions in general. When I was in H/S I has some awful teachers, and they were protected for life. Incompetence should never be protected.
If you recognize an umpires name, he's a bad umpire
He is also a part time off season trainer with Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Umpires Association (MAC) out of Fairfax, VA
Any chance for a video on the players who are the biggest jerks towards umpires are? I would imagine Josh Donaldson and Garrit Cole would be on this list.
Hmmm interesting idea
I like this idea. Might be eye opening and allow players to self-reflect, and how people view their actions.
Donaldson, Bryce Harper, Manny Machado would be the top of the list
@@MisterHoodrich89 And Kyle Schwarber
@@samuelbarrett5648 I don't remember Schwarber ever having a blowup with an umpire except for this past season with Angel Hernandez. and I can't blame Schwarber for that one, because Hernandez was awful behind the plate in that game.
Donaldson, Harper, Machado on the other hand always seem to have two or three blowups at umps per season. and they usually go out of their way to disrespect/show up the umpires when they do. I would also add Arenado to that list, now that I think of it. Matt Kemp used to be another one, but I think he's retired now.
Their has to be a damn way to get rid of angel and Diaz from officiating.
Simple as rating umps and only the most accurate gets to be used in postseason.
If Diaz and Hernandez went to umpiring school they sure didn't pay attention!!!!
If you blame the umpire for why your team loses then your team deserved to lose.
The majority of those pitches were borderline. There are worse umpires.
Every place in a top 10 is occupied by Angel Hernandez
what a shock, Joe Buck agreed with most of his pitches
The MLB umpires union is probably the most criminal union there is.
For the young kids watching this video, know the K zone is just an arbitrary box put up by the tv channels and isn’t supposed to have any relevance in calling balls and strikes. Even if the umpire is calling stuff that is completely wrong, it’s his judgement and it’s better just to focus on looking for your pitch to drive.
its not perfect but its pretty damn close. especially in and out
"Even if the umpire is calling stuff that is completely wrong ... ." Tell me you're an umpire without telling me ...
When you respond defensively to a general tweet about bad umps haha He also knows he sucks.
Eric Gregg. He gets my vote. After wrecking a WS rematch.
how do these umps with such low accuracy results keep their jobs????
Were you judging the misses based on the broadcast box you were showing, because that box is not the strike zone
Watch the Jerry Meals call in the 19-inning Braves and Pirates game. It's tough to beat. Just type he called him safe.
Bad umpiring, and spineless announcing from Buck.
I'm surprised no one ever talks about Ron Kulpa, that dude is one of the worse umpires ever
One can always tell a good umpire. One never notices him and doesn't even know his name.
Except Pat Hoberg
Perfect Pat Hoberg
Very Sad but true the worst
A lot of those strikes could have gone either way. Umpiring is extremely stressful, and takes both physical and mental stamina to maintain a cool head and place yourself in the right frame of mind to really be good at it. You must always concentrate, and pau attention to the pitcher, the better, and what's going on along the basepaths. Angel Hernande and this guy are both petty bad because they aren't mentally cut out for that type of job.
yep agreed, and these two should find a less stressful occupation after years of ruining baseball
I agree with everything you said except for that some umpires aren't mentally cut out for the job. I umpire and am around lots of umpires myself, and if someone isn't mentally cut out, they either get thrown to the side or quit on their own wayyy before the big leagues start calling-probably even before they go pro at all.
Yea a lot of people in here will disagree but being behind the dish is HARD especially at a high level. A ton of those pitches could go either way depending on the ump and we also have the benefit of seeing them with the strike zone backdrop on screen. Now a game like Livan Hernandez’s 15 Ks with Eric Gregg calling it was egregious…..
@@BTeeper -If it's "hard" for an umpire then maybe they're not suited for the job.
FTX was everywhere, lol
On the 21 pitches i would agree with alot of them
Players, coaches and managers ultimately get "let go" when they do not perform at a certain level. It should be the same for umpires. If their numbers fall below a certain level, they need to be released or sent down to the minors to work on their performance. Pay the top performing umpires certain performance bonuses and incentives. There is likely several minor league "hot shot" umpires that can do better right now than many older MLB umpires who refuse to retire!
Need to do one of these on Jerry West
Diaz is an example of an umpire that started ok, but eyes worsened when he got older
It happens all the time, maybe needs an age limit or something
Not a fan of an “age” limit , a competency evaluation and eye checks yes . Age isn’t a good barometer . Some guys are sharp at this well into their 60s and 70s and not so much at half that age .
The difference between a player and an umpire that sucks is that the player will be sent down to the minors in about a week.
Angel Hernandez hands down is the worst umpire in MLB history
theres an umpiring school 😂😂
As long as Angel Hernandez is alive, the battle will be for second place.
Common ITalk W video
Jim Joyce is unforgettable.
I believe the technology is now available for balls and strikes to be taken away from the HP umpire. Keep an umpire there for all of the other reasons, play at the plate, foul balls, HBP, etc, but take the balls and strikes away from them. I’m aware that this could only be done on the MLB level but there’s to much riding on all the games, peoples lively hoods, careers ending and many other issues are at stake…..
Full disclosure: I umpired for a number of years myself so I have an idea about what goes on with umpires…..
“Laz Diaz was born and raised in Florida”
Case closed
💀
The strike zone is different in Florida.
love the videos
Thank you!!!
The guy was asking for umpires to be given bonuses for good performance, and not just fined for bad performance, and Laz still got fussed about it? Chill out, Laz.
Having an ego issue is pretty common of people that feel that they're in a position of authority....and that needs to change, once someone displays their ego and it's affecting others negatively they should be immediately put in their place and at the very least dropped down the totem pole, but realistically they should be outright replaced by someone that's willing to evaluate themselves...it's a widespread problem with people that feel that they're in a position of authority and it causes way too many problems, from elementary schools to the top of the govt, everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes and behavior
Baseball would be better all the way around if Home plate umps weren't responsible for calling Balls and Strikes.
Banger
Seems like umpires should push for technology they utilize to be more accurate, rather than wait to be replaced by technology themselves.
He literally sets up in the worst possible spots to call outside pitches
I don't know about that. I was pretty bad when i was an umpire in Junior High School.
I remember the nationals braves game where he said he was a foul ball
Angel Hernandez is not the worst in MLB history. There are DOZENS of people who can grab that title. Eric Gregg, CB Buckner, etc.
Laz Diaz is nowhere near the worst umpire in MLB. if you asked any manager or player who the worst umpires are, I seriously doubt very many of them would mention Diaz.
Marty Foster, Angel Hernandez, Ron Kulpa, Doug Eddings, Dan Bellino, and CB Bucknor are all guys who are much worse umpires based on call accuracy and/or situation handling.
0:32 lol he looks like samuel jackson
C B Bukner is also in contention as the worst umpire in the major leagues
Why doesn’t the League use post game analysis and stats to pick the best umpires for the next game? And fire the lowest 5%? Who wants bad umpires on a game that has hundreds of millions of dollars on the line?
It's hard to say who's the worst in history since we have no idea how good or bad some umpires were even 40 or so years ago and until just recently there were no stats on them period
I love laz diaz. He is one of my favorite umps. Joe West is by far the second worse ump. I disagree with the middlebrooks situation, but in my decade of seeing him ump, hes always been really consistent and well liked by the players and fans. Way worse umpires are out there, laz doesnt even come anywhere near close to being second worse imo. 🤷
Obviously the MLB is afraid of him because he keeps suing the league. That would be the only reason, a umpire in the major leagues level would keep his job. He’s so terrible, I think the players should strike until he’s removed from the game permanently!
As an experienced high school ump, I can say this: there are 2 kinds of umpires, those who get the count messed up and rookies
There should be a public fine or something if you call a ball completely over the dirt a strike
We need to start using computer umpires. We have statcast that can perfectly track a baseball's trajectory in every MLB stadium. At least for calling pitches, it would be a really easy switch.
controversial calls should be part of the game
Donnie baseball might be a bench coach in Toronto
Dude time to leave your basement!
I think Jon Bois did a video recently on the number of times umpires and players have forgotten the count. Strangely enough, it's not that unusual an occurrence.
2:57 It's not like he missed 22 calls.
Why'd you have to show my boys get humiliated they already had a terrible season
New to baseball and an Englishman so be kind but why when umpires make mistakes are they not dropped down to the minors and the best minor umps get a chance in the majors thats what happens in the football over here if a ref has a terrible game he can be dropped to division 1 or 2 to get out of the limelight and get back on track before going back to the premier league if he earns it
