You could hear a fair amount of that convo and it didn't sound like he did/said anything to get tossed.

If you remain on the field and continue talking after being called out by the ump you can be relatively certainly the conversation is not about the weather. When you are given a warning by the ump and you insist on continuing with your tirade you deserve to be tossed.

Man, that was about as close as you can get to leaving the park... Tie game though, yay!

 

Maybe if he pulls it a little more it's gone. Well, maybe if it bounces off the top of the wall :P

He stayed out way too long even after he was told to go to the dugout. What a stupid f***ing move by Jose. How do you get thrown out in a 1-0 game. f***ing ridiculous

 

Jose knew exactly what he was doing. He decided to stay out and talk calmly to the umpire until he got tossed, which would seem unjust and then fire his team mates up and spur them on to victory. What a smart player.

Yeah he didn't deserve to be tossed there, but he should have gone to the dugout when the ump "suggested" it though. At least he's really cut down on the arguing from last year.

I am pretty confident people in baseball know you can be tossed for arguing with the ump on strikes/balls. It is one thing to ask the ump if that pitch was not too far outside/inside or too low/high or whatever but after being told it was a strike what do you think is taking place if the hitter continues talking about it? Isn't the player telling the ump that his call is not right? In other words, arguing about calls based in balls/strikes? Isn't there consequences for this listed in the rule book? Some umps are more lenient with this type of behaviour but you cannot blame an ump for following the rules when a player is overstepping the boundary.

I really don't see any positive outcome in complaining. Even if it's a s***** call...just walk back and let the Manager deal with it.

I agree.
