    If Suarez pulled his helmet up from over his eyes he might see the strike zone better

    I was at this game and had a perfect view of this. Suarez walked back to his position and continuously made the talking hand gesture followed by zipping his lips, maybe trying to say stop talking or I'm not saying anything else. He did it so many times that Scheurwater threw him out left handed, since his mask was still in his right hand. The second baseman was arguing the ejection and had to be held back

    The dude was lucky to stay in the game as long as he did. Maybe he needs to go back and read the rules again for what a strike is.

  • @PastorAdam7476

    Did he draw a line and get away with it because the umpire didn't see it? After his 8th inning K it looks like he may have drawn a quick line inside.

    • @DJTexan
      @DJTexan Před 19 dny +1

      Umpires in past wouldn’t eject for line unless it was obvious and could see the line. A motion isn’t good enough to eject for.

      @davidvelleman3525 Před 19 dny +1

      I saw that too -- I suspect Scherwater didn't see it (he was still looking to the right doing his strike 3 mechanic). Either way, the batter didn't need any help getting ejected -- he decided he was going to go one way or another.

    Put umpire-called balls/strikes with challenges in like in AAA and we don't have this kind of situation all the time. It works great, allows everyone to see what's going on and doesn't take long to disrupt the flow. I know that MLB has stated that they're not putting it in for next year and that's a huge mistake imo.

    • @kennowens7381
      @kennowens7381 Před 20 dny +1

      The problem is that the technology isn't getting the vertical zone any better than human umps. Each batter has a different height and stance...
      The easy solution IMHO is to measure each player in spring training and then tell them, your zone is from 16" off the ground up to 40", next person is 14" to 36", etc. Then set them all ahead of the season.

      @@viccorrell6157 There's a clear difference between making mistakes and obvious errors. I'm the first person to give umpires the benefit of doubt with close pitches, which is why specifically said missing 10 pitches by at least an inches. An umpire should not be missing that many going outside the margin of error. And yes any boss would call out poor performance like like. Or do you believe that such performances should be allowed to continue over and over again??

      Gary Travis - the guy who never has made a mistake. I’m sure you’d shoot 100% each night on trackman if you ever decided to strap the equipment on and get behind the plate. Did you get the official trackman report or are you going off of the stupid little box on the tv screen - the box that shows the exact same strike zone for Aaron Judge as it does for Jose Altuve?
