Any time an umpire charges a player, the game should be put on hold so the player in question can kick the umps ass. Afterwards the game will continue without them, and using the TV graphics whomever controls the scoreboard will then also call balls and strikes.

The umps have always been maligned... but in the last 20 years, it's gotten REALLY BAD... all you have to do is look at the year by year ejection stats... it's not umps are quick triggered.. players and coaches are arguing way more often than every before. Can they get sick of it.. sure.. and with balls/strikes.. the players and coaches are in explicit violation of the rules.. You are not allowed to argue balls/strikes and if you do.. you can be ejected.. no gray areas there...

If MLB really want to stop these out of control umpires just have a mic on all umpires and Managers. Then MLB review the "conversations" from both. The UMPIRE should be able to control their emotions even if Managers/Coaches/Players are getting on their case. If they don't or can't they should not be an umpire in MLB.

Hey Umpires and your Union, no one pays to see you! Call the game fair and stop charging at players like your something to be reckoned with. You make the game worse, not better!

I go to a game, it's to relax and have fun, not worry how long the pitcher takes. The inordinate amount of money being paid is why we're seeing the pussification of pro sports. The reason I want balls, and strikes called electronically is I'm tired of plate umpires thinking people are paying to watch them. Home run derby? Is that played in Kentucky too??

1:35 thats a real catcher right there, not letting even the ump talk shit to his pitch.

Some umpire throws Jason Veratec out of a game while he is catching. Terry Francona comes out, you can read his lips to the umpire, "Are you F... nuts. What is the matter with you? Are you f... nuts."

When you can't take the heat from the stands, and start ejecting fans, you really shouldn't be an MLB umpire. It's one thing to run players and managers for disrespect and trying to show you up, but fans? Lame assed behavior by that guy. If you have rabbit ears, get ear plugs.

The umpires are ruining MLB. It's like they are all trying to out do Angel Hernandez.

If an umpire charges the plate or puffs up to a batter the pitcher or batter get to retaliate too. Ump’s should not want to be a part of the “show.”

It's crazy how big of a problem umpires really are.

The only people that truly ruin the game are the ones in charge of tossing people. Makes sense.

MLB umpires are just the worst

Many MLB umps have short fuses. You don't see this in other sports

This is in control of the Players...they allowed this.

Time to do something about these disgusting umpires.

Umpires are wrong 999 times out of 10. Eff 'em

The absurdity just shows how dedicated the league is to manipulating games. If you suddenly have umps doing this when the betting lines will make them the most money then it's obvious. But if the umps are always unaccountable and trash, it's easier to bet on games and help influence the outcome. Too much money to be made for refs/umps to call them correctly

There are umpires that think that the stadium is full of paying fans that are there to see them umpire games. Sad thing mlb is ok with those guys screwing up the game.

Im sick of these umpires being above the game.

This shouldn’t be allowed at all!! Umpires making this game get worse and worse

Ridiculous... These umps were never told no as a child and if anyone disagrees with them they blow up. Sad.

All those umpires need to be fired. They are too dam power hungry

The umpires Union is way too powerful. Ejecting players for being mad about bad calls. In what other sport does the official out on a show while announcing a strike out? Imagine if an NFL ref did a dance or a pose while calling a foul or touchdown

This is what UNIONS get you.

We good money to watch the umpires throw our favorite players out of the game. My favorite isvwhen the umpire threw the fan out. In recent history Aaron Boone was thrown out because of what a fan yelled behind him.

Umps lose the ability to eject players. What exactly is lost? Absolutely nothing.

Baseball umpires. What a disgrace to the game. Total dictators, with no accountability.

Time for MLB to reign in these pompous umpires…people pay enormous amounts of money not to see the umpires with sensitive feelings

This is the Angel Hernandez Syndrome and when on top of that the umps are children not even the fans stay in the games

I would have to say at least a third of the MLB umpires should be fired. They are a bunch of bumbling idiots

Arguing pitch calls in baseball is kinda like flopping on the ground in soccer cuz another player touched your elbow. If you get a bad call, you get a bad call and move on. A.I. technology cameras will replace human umpires making calls in the next 10 years in pro sports, so this will be a thing of the past.

Nobody in mlb wants To play, coach or call a game 100% correctly and down the middle with full effort, they all have some excuse for what happened and it wasn't their fault.

Umps want to be the star!

We literally could umpire the game from home with the cameras and with electronic strike zones and these umpires think the game needs them . Everyone is there to see the players not you . These guys are soft .
