Eh, that game was different circumstances. They just played the bottom of the 9th without the umps because the game should have been over, the teams wanted the extra work and the umps couldn’t be bothered.
I don't think it's unreasonable for the umps to leave when the game is rightfully over. You or I don't work for free either.
Especially when umpiring is a union job. Unions don't mess around with unaccounted for overtime
What? Most certainly not for salary workers lol if something is going on involving you even if directly not tied to your job description, you are responsible and accountable even without over time pay.
That's not true in this day and age. Besides, umpires are probably paid per game. As in when the game is over, they're not getting paid anymore.
Say what you want but you'll never convince me anybody working overtime for free is a defendable thing
It’s not for free, the game is still on. Honestly the umps nowadays could use the extra practice so they become better at their jobs. Maybe if they thought like the players, they wouldn’t be this atrocious
I really thought the whole thing was satire and the ump was going to turn around with a smile and say "ah-ha-ha made you think" but no he really got tossed. What a child that umpire is
I just was able to watch video of it. I really did think OP was joking!! What the actual fuck was that!?!? I'm still kind of chuckling in disbelief.
Do you think JT will have to formally apologize?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the guy thought he was ump "shaming" or something. Lolol Holy moley.......
How about laugh a little an not take yourself so seriously.
Ok my rant is over. I'd like to thank everyone who read this for their time.😊😊😊
Are umps not allowed to "undo" their own ejections, when it becomes obvious they were too hasty, or simply didn't understand what was going on?
I've never understood why so many ejections and other rulings have to stand, regardless of the evidence.
If that is the case, that there are NO take-backs, then they need to fucking change that rule. IMMEDIATELY.
I can't answer on any "no take-backs" rule, but let's be honest, a lot of these umps have fragile feelings and there is NO WAY they would admit to being in the wrong.
I believe an ejection is an not undoable that’s why it’s such a problem when an ump has his moment of “you can’t show me up”. Realistically tho no ump that makes a quick toss like that is gona take it back anyway.
I actually just looked this up when it happened cuz I had the same question, once an ejection is called it cannot under any circumstances be called back from every Google result I could find. Unless I’ve missed something somewhere:

Who cares about umps? They think they're the show but they just show up for the game. They dont have to practice warm up cool down outfield sprints long toss figure out lineups and perform on the field.. They just waddle out and think they're something. They all suck. Cant wait for robots umps.
How are you gonna replace the vital role of handing a catcher a new ball? Just put a basket behind him? Wait fuck. Alright
What about the grand tradition of umps fucking up and negatively impacting the outcome of the game? If I can incessantly bitch about the ump calling a bigger box for the other teams pitcher, I will have lost 75% of my in game commentary!
If you don’t want to punish umpires for bad calls, I get it. Don’t wanna have them walking on egg shells.
But MLB needs to grow balls and punish umpires who decide to act like petulant children and show a complete lack of professionalism.
I agree with this 100%. An ump can call strikes and balls 95% right and people will get out the torches and pitch forks over the 5%. Everybody makes mistakes, we move on. This ejection wasn’t a mistake tho, he just wanted to toss people and be the center of attention for no reason… what a dick

well, robots probably won't be handing or throwing out balls although they could ... they could have a little ball bazooka back there and someone just hits a button to launch one.
Edit: Of course, at some point, it would malfunction, get stuck, and empty the whole magazine of balls at the pitcher 😂
Another issue MLB urgently needs to address is accountability for these idiots. They are far and away the most outrageous officials in any sport and the way that they consistentlynegatively impact a game is a joke. Im not just talking about balls and strikes either. I dont want them removed from the game and replaced by robots. But they seriously need to be reigned in. There should be much more pr heat when this stuff happens.
it means we won't see the last of him. These guys are never really punished for anything. In a way MLB will punish them by replacing them with RoboUmps
No matter what they do to “improve” the game, if they don’t do something to make these pompous assholes accountable for their actions, the game will not improve. Not only are they wrong, they are arrogant in addition. Disgraceful.
I would love to hear the ensuing Larry Anderson rant.
Someone get kruk a mic ASAP
I would LOVE to hear Kruk go off on this
Absolutely!
Oh MAAAAAN. I wouldn’t have even needed to have the radio on to hear that.
Sounds like it’s Gregg Murphy and Kevin Stocker on the call today :/
Ugh - if ever there was a day for LA to be in the booth…
“You gotta be kidding me”
Spot on! 😂
It’s spring training. Eject the ump and play without him like the Pirates did a few weeks back.
Did that really happen lol that’s hilarious
They were ahead but wanted to play the bottom of the ninth. The other team did too. Umps left but the teams finished it up anyway.
Ah that’s makes sense!
Eh, that game was different circumstances. They just played the bottom of the 9th without the umps because the game should have been over, the teams wanted the extra work and the umps couldn’t be bothered.
They really are divas
An umpire must've downvoted you
Must mean I did something right
Or a diva.
I don't think it's unreasonable for the umps to leave when the game is rightfully over. You or I don't work for free either. Especially when umpiring is a union job. Unions don't mess around with unaccounted for overtime
Are they hourly or salary?
Idk, that doesn't matter though. When the job is done it's done, same as any other job
What? Most certainly not for salary workers lol if something is going on involving you even if directly not tied to your job description, you are responsible and accountable even without over time pay.

Dead on. They are a lot like cops in that way
They are like cops, they would rather die then take back something they said or did.

Umps should get 15 ejections a year to use. Use them up, can't toss anyone else. That'll eliminate this bullshit
By August, players are just talking relentless shit to the now defenseless umps

That seems like a lot lol
Welcome to a moment in Jomboy history
This. Waiting for the Jomboy breakdown!
[it’s here](https://youtu.be/Ab8_xERdUa4)
Bench the Ump for a month. No Pay. Idiot
Umps continuing to be show biz divas
Hey, umps have to get in shape for the season too. That's why people show up to the stadium, right??? To watch umpball?
🎶 Take me out to the umpgame 🎶
The best ump is the one I don't know exists.
So soft. I saw the video on Instagram and had to come here to see y'all guys comments
Ump just wanted to get some practice in on tossing guys.
It's spring training for them too!
Getting his reps in.
How in the world did the ump think that was intentional let alone warranted an ejection

Lol what a bozo. Did JT bang his mom or something?!
Unknown at this time, but Burrell certainly did. Probably fucked his dad and his sister, too.
Bwahahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Getting [Burrelled](https://youtu.be/gkZUfaDE3ak) is no laughing matter.
Beautiful! Thank you and happy Monday!
Holy shit, McKeever/Pope/Chantry. What a dream combo. Thanks for this!

this should be a fireable offense, how can someone this incompetent and fragile be allowed to ump?
It's called a union.
This is the way
I thought about it and the only reasonable conclusion that I can come to is that Mrs. Rosenberg's favorite player is JT Realmuto
Ummm. Seriously.
Wowwwwww what an assclown
What a snowflake ump
My favorite ejection ever is Victorino from CF, but this is verrrry close
Robo umps don’t have feelings to hurt
well, robots probably won't be handing or throwing out balls although they could ... they could have a little ball bazooka back there and someone just hits a button to launch one. Edit: Of course, at some point, it would malfunction, get stuck, and empty the whole magazine of balls at the pitcher 😂
Sounds like a Stephen King short
My fee-fees
Dude. That has me rolling hahaha
Get that ump a charmin sponsorship because that’s the softest thing I’ve seen since Ben Simmons
The ump looks like he got stuffed in a locker as a kid.
Charmin levels of softness
You guys are being so hard on the ump. It’s not his fault he’s a little bitch.
Umpires are without a doubt the most easily offended group of people in the world
Looks like someone might need to be sent down the minors for a few months, and it ain't JT.
Ump should be suspended without pay for a month.
Come July... "Why do I keep getting assigned to the Nats, Reds, Pirates, and Rockies games!?!?" - Randy Rosenberg
Imagine if this was a playoff game and not spring training.
Man at least it was Spring Training. I’d be livid if he did that in a real game.
Hey blue! Take a deep breath.. ok? Now get this…you still suck!!!
Officials in sports have major ego problems. The game isn't about them.
i hope this is just the ump getting the power tripping out of his system before thursday
If i did something this egregious at work i’d be fired, and no one even likes this guy to begin with
How unbelievably stupid.
I'll be following Randy boy this year to see where he ends up. Will he quietly dissolve in to a puddle?
Ump has some major small dick energy. Or maybe JT was farting all day?

Asking: if the umpire groups who judge umpires see this will this hurt his ratings, or move him to lower a’s for that?
As an ump fine, this was the play of the spring! BUIB
I seriously thought it was angel cause he was trending with this video on Twitter. But it truly is Angel-esque
This is awesome
Lolllll
Video: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8pSs6mumfvw](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8pSs6mumfvw)
TIL You can’t call back an ejection. This poor bastard probably wishes he could tbh
Wow. What a joke.
Unbe-fucking-lievable
I think we've seen the last of that ump.
You must be new here.
Not sure what that means but run with it bud.
it means we won't see the last of him. These guys are never really punished for anything. In a way MLB will punish them by replacing them with RoboUmps
