My lawd... cops and umps. Small dick energy champs of the world.

From AP:

“I said, ‘Dude, I thought you were throwing the ball,’” Realmuto told the newspaper. “He said, ‘I’m not gonna buy that.’”

Rosenberg has been called up from Triple-A for 39 regular season MLB games between 2020-22, according to retrosheet.org. Crew chief Dan Iassogna defended Rosenberg’s decision to the Inquirer after the game.

“Did Randy act hastily? No,” Iassogna said. “I believe Randy felt like the situation warranted an ejection, and that’s what he did.”

This guy should never see another game in the majors if he's gonna act like that. The worst part is the crew chief backs him up mainly because he has to. If the ump had already thrown one on his own then it makes sense for the catcher to think 'oh yeah, he's gonna throw it'. The other part that makes no sense is why does he go to slam the ball into the glove? There has never been a time when I've slammed a ball into the catcher's mitt after a foul ball or passed ball with no one on base. It's rare for me to throw one myself since I'll either short-hop it or airmail it (damn restrictor plate shoulder pad). Randy Rosenberg is the dope's full name and I hope he doesn't see another MLB inning. But this is the same group that employs CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez so I'm not holding out much hope.

I mean the implication is that JT pulled his glove back on purpose to make him look dumb, which is just outrageous because he wasn't looking back and obviously couldn't see he was about to give him the ball. Had to have just thought it's been a few seconds and he's throwing it himself. Turd

Pretty petty on the ump.

It’s interesting because that ump has an attribute that I read in a random throwaway comment from Reddit. As anyone here who has referring experience can attest, **** is difficult. Hell, I umped little league when I was in middle school. Even worse than the bad calls I made were the calls where I wasn’t sure and would half heartedly call. Despite me being only like 14, the parents would rip me apart for it


Pro umps/refs have to have a complex where they’re convinced they’re right. They deal with so much **** every game they go to, even if they call a good game, that you pretty much have to be pretty **** sure of yourself to make it to the big time


The ump here was obviously wrong. Realmuto did nothing but accidentally disrespect him. I feel like the ump even realizes it when they’re arguing him. But of course he can’t go back and reverse the call even if it was a mistake because showing weakness in your call can be seen as being “wrong”. I don’t agree with it personally but I could see this being a major complex a lot of pro umps/refs have

I believe I heard 10 umpires retired after last season so that should be interesting.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I never understood...we all know who Willie Mays is but who the **** is (Willie?) Hayes?

[willeyeam]

[King Colby]

[King Colby]

You may run like hayes, but you hit like ****

[LeopardLetang]

i never got it either. i assumed i was not able to think of a hayes that stole a ton of bases. Does he mean he plays like willie mays but runs like himself? I mean, Willie Mays was pretty fast and stole a lot of bases I thought

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

You may run like hayes, but you hit like ****

WRONG. To make it even more confusing he says “you may run like Mays”

[King Colby]

Hayes is just the guy's last name

[King Colby]

He runs like president Rutherford B. Hayes, who was known to have the fastest triathlon splits of any president

Yes, this was a really insightful post... I still hate the ump show BS but I do understand that side of it.

Run like Mays, hit like Ke'Bryan Hayes.
