I kinda feel for the coach - you’d think there would be at least one baseball up there. Imagine that sinking feeling as he looks around and can’t find one.

I was at this game! Still my greatest memory at a baseball game. A complete gem of an ejection. God bless you, Mr. Allenson, and thanks for the memories.

I love how Bye Bye Bye starts playing as he exits the field. Coincidence?

Lost in this is announcer: "It is now a 7-4 game. Make that 8-5." Well that's great that a HR is points to both sides. lol

Love it Only in minor league baseball.

Here’s what should happen. Simply replace the “bicycle rack” with a solid wall, which will remove all doubt as to which side the ball landed on. This is a bit like some of the snow fences I used to have to deal with when umpiring. With a solid wall, if the ball goes over, you clearly see the ball disappear. Or you see it land in front. But when you have a wall like this, or a snow fence (which has all kinds of holes in it), it’s very difficult to tell whether the ball lands behind the wall, or lands in front, and bounces over it. Umpires don’t have zoom lenses in our eyes.

If I were the ump, I woulda said, upon manager Allenson's return to the field, "and how many balls did you find out there coach"?

@johncronin9540

dave0mary Number one rule for an umpire: Don’t go looking for trouble. And that would be a needless provocation. Given the circumstances (very confusing area of the field), I likely wouldn’t have run him, unless he expressed his views inappropriately. I think the “bicycle rack” should be replaced with a solid wall. That way it’s much easier to see if the ball went behind the wall, or over the wall. Neither the umpires nor the coaches have zoom lenses to see.

An umpire will never call a manager “coach”, that’s a guaranteed rhubarb

Hate the railings over the fence, make them solid walls all the way up

This whole thing could’ve been diverted. If one of the empires just would’ve hustled out there as soon as the outfielder put his 🙌 up and look behind the pad

I don't know. My guess is it's a judgment call by the umps. But an ejected player, coach, or manager failing to leave the field within 3 or 4 minutes of the ejection creates a travesty of the game, which should be handled with additional penalties, up to & including forfeiture.

Yeah I’ve done div 2 college and only once did I have a coach come out and argue balls and strikes and then not leave almost right away after I ejected him. He was literally in my face yelling and spitting. I told him maybe after a 30 seconds of straight yelling and spitting in my face and me trying to walk away that I told him he had 10 seconds to get off the field. While he was still yelling at me telling me I don’t have the balls to make him leave I counted down when I hit 1 and he was still yelling at me I called the game. I told the other team they won and walked off with my partner. The next day I get a call from the league director apologizing for the incident, and telling me the coach has been suspended for 5 games. What shocked me the most is that the LD told me he protested the game bc I forfeited it. I was literally about to pull out the rule book and read off the rule that give me the power to do that and he stopped me and told me it was denied. I thanked him and I had the team 10 days later the coach was still suspended and never heard from him again.

@trudybom Ground rules in that stadium require the ball to cross over the yellow rail. It didn't, as you can clearly see on the slow-motion, the ball passes in front of the yellow rail. That makes it a double.

Wow! That's a real nice park.

Bryan Allen More importantly. He didn’t argue at all after he saw for himself.

Allenson was just as fiery when he caught for the Red Sox. We loved him.

I found this quite amusing. But seeing he went through the outfield wall and delayed the game like this, he better have gotten suspended for this.

I thought ground rules were discussed at home plate before the game between the home plate umpire and the managers. If the hit was ruled a ground rule double in the face of indisputable evidence (the ball being found behind the padding) after initially being called a home run, then so be it. The Norfolk coach wasted a ton of time walking to the outfield fence.

The ball would have had the league stamp and any batting practice ball may not have. Tough call for the umps, and Allenson disrespects the game by stalling it out.

I just love baseball! At the youth level you can't do this stuff, but this if just great. Love it.

That fucking metal fence bullshit should be a home run. That is so fucking stupid. There are no major league stadiums that have that shit playable. “Bike rack” it looks like a fence to keep fans back from reaching over but if that is part of the wall then it serves no purpose. Fans can reach over. They need to make anything over the padded wall is a home run. Or take that stupid “bike rack” down and make it simple.

I've never seen Gary Allenson come out onto the field in ANY Tides game I've ever gone to. I don't see why he went out there, YOU WERE WINNING REGARDLESS.

4:24 looks like a baseball in the grass...

Why didnt the up start the game or start calling strikes?

Coach looked like Mike Lindell lookin for the evidence! Keep lookin, Coach!

That fence is ridiculous

@samuricex Baseball fields are not uniform like the soccer pitch. Outfield fences can vary in height, at Boston's Fenway Park the left field fence is 37 feet high and in right field it drops to just 3 feet. Because of the unique features of various ballparks each field has its own set of ground rules, for example if a ball gets stuck in the ivy at Wrigley Field in Chicago the batter is awarded a double. At this park the ball must travel over the rail and the painted yellow line to be a home run.

@donaldthomas7070

Soccer pitches aren't uniform, either. They can vary (slightly) in length & width. But they are all rectangular, unlike baseball fields, where dramatic variability in the outfield & foul-territory dimensions is permissible.

Excellently designed homer wall.

I landed iver the top of the padding, but guessing that since the top of the railing or fence out there has that yellow marking on the top of it, for the ball to be considered qa home run the ball would have had to go ove the top of that railing, so if correct, that should have been a Ground rule double right?????

@zgaviation6481

Andrew Silva correct, which is why the call was changed. The ball would have to go over that fence for a homer

Pepsi advertisements man, their crazy

All he had to do was find one ball.

@RandomsDeagled It does happen in baseball and calls do get changed depending on the situation though generally arguing will not change the call. It is a good enough reason as the ball could not end of where it was if it did go over the fence.

Why would you build a wall that has gaps in it like that. I would think this happens often.

this is super good quality

Encyclopedia Brown reference? There's no EB in baseball.

I went to a baseball game last night and a leisurely stroll broke out.

You are a fool, Gary. Why don't you want the correct call? Hope you've grown up since then.

Umpire should have said, "Well Gary, got a ball for me? Now go get a shower."

If I was the umpire, I would have forfeited the game.

I understand him being mad or pissed of but he's going to far and wasting our time. And stuff. And being slow to.

WEIGHTROOMMMMM

What Organization is this team tied to?

Why is there a gap?

Had the umpires stopped the runner and batter-runner at a two base award, then go out and rule the ball in play. They, the umpires, would have put the runner and the batter-runner in jeopardy of being put out. However, after letting the runner and the batter-runner score, then making their ruling of a ground rule double IS exactly what should have happened, regardless of what the two experts in the booth said.

I wouldn't have had a tirade considering I would still have a 2 run lead! The manager is a greedy bastard!

Can't blame Gary here. Recall him as a catcher with the Bosox. Good baseball man.

I slowed it down and the ball was already there before the homerun.

He actually made the baseball game slower.

That’s the Delay of game of baseball!

@burakomin then y do u watch BASEBALL videos

im not sure if it has to clear the bike rack to be a homerun, but looks like to me that it hits the bike rack and then goes behind the pad.

Hit a dinger!

@burakomin then y do u watch BASEBALL video

Can't believe I just watched that.

"could he jog alil bit? We have a game to finish tonight" Wow, even the commentator almost fell asleep while watching baseball.

Desmond Jennings is a stud.

@matmanxify i mean, look at how packed that stadium is! they must have had like 26 people watching the telecast!

I think the guy has a crush on Desmond Jennings.

What a stupid field design. Put the yellow line on the top of the padding so this doesn't happen again.

The Score on tv makes things misleading with the colors

This is where there should be outs recorded for to much time. The guy didn't even jog out and back that is so ridiculous

"Dang, I should have stuck one in my pocket before coming out and making a fool of myself!"

Who won?

why the hell do you even have the outfield wall setup like that?

The Cameraman stole that shit. Lets go Tides.

That was the biggest helmet move I ever saw by a coach

Anyone else notice at 0:25 that 13 blatantly left his teammate hanging with the high 5

How would the umpires know that the ball didn't go over the fencing and bounce/roll back without looking at a replay?

@noslashnognr Yeah, I got my dates wrong for some reason. I went to the game on Monday.

I totally understand both sides of this. Allenson HAD. NO. CHOICE. but to argue multiple balls behind the wall, and the umps HAD. NO. CHOICE. but to eject Allenson for stalling/wasting time.

Gary must have the same D.N.A as Wally Backman

This is hilarious its funny how he takes his time walking to the outfield oh and baseball is AWESOME!!!

The truth is: for this reason, there should not be any balls in the vicinity: The area should be cleaned and prepared prior to the game -- and it probably was.

Why is the wall set up that way....this seems like it would often be an issue

must be awkward when he looks at replay

Er.... a Gary, I think the ball HAS TO CLEAR THE WALL to be a homerun. LOL

Here is another great way to make an ass out of yourself in baseball!

It's not a stupid rule. You're just clearly not very well acquainted with baseball rules. The padding was never intended to be loose enough for the ball to get behind it. But things like this happen from time to time. Fielders are not required to climb over or under, or reach into obstacles on the field. Really, just read the rules. They represent about 170 years of baseball evolution.

Angel Hernandez would have called that a ball. He never hit it …
