MLB memo orders Fenway visiting teams to wait until umpires get to their room before going up runway to clubhouse. Umps use that hallway, go

Don't like to hear that. Pissing off the umps collectively isn't a good idea.

Give the cops a hard time and see what happens. Same with umps. Stupid move, keep the umps out of the equation no matter what.

I'm glad the jays gave the umps s***.

So you think the same umps will favor the Jays batters on close pitches? I don't think so. You're an ******* to them they will be to you. And guess who the losers are.

So you want grown men to shut up and be quiet for other grown men who are in the wrong?

They are MLB umpires with many years of experience, you show them respect no matter if they missed a call. Screaming at them and taking little fits isn't the answer, you're just making matters worse for yourself, they are still the ones making the calls after you react to them and don 't think they will be in a good mood to help you out. They will be a lot nicer to players that are nice to them. Common-sense.

They deserve respect with all the stupidness they displayed throughout their careers? Joe west would be calling little league games if there wasn't a union as strong as the umpire union protecting him

[JaysAllMighty]

Umps should be held accountable. Tired of these clowns consistently blowing calls. I still think its rediculous that unpires have they're own strikezone. The strikezone is f***ing strikezone.

 

Yes, I agree 100%. They should use the electronic computerized strike calls, zapped those f***ers when it's a strike. Fair for both teams.

I think you are missing my point, the batters are hurting themselves by arguing with the umps even when the umps are totally wrong which they are often but they are also human so their emotions will make them react to the batters offencive behavior towards them, it's human nature.

[Daniel Labude]

This was probably bautista lol

[JaysAllMighty]

 

Yep, that would do it... LOL

Umps are bad but you are dealing with humans, have you ever umpired? Unless you are a robot calls will be missed, I think some fo you forget human error will always be there with humans, crazy I know. Calling a ball coming in at 95 MPH an inches off the plate a strike or ball is never going to be correct 100% of the time

What pisses me off is when it seems like our batters are getting the short end of the stick, getting strikes called on them while the same pitches are balls for the other team. Seems to happen a lot to our Canadian team.

I agree it is annoying, but sadly as long as humans are umps it will be an issue.

how much you guys wanna bet it was Bautista involved in the "ugly incident"?

 

I swear to god he's a f***ing idiot by constantly showing up the umps. Of course they try to f*** him over. Wouldn't you?

 

No, I'd still call it as I see it.

 

But lots will be vindictive

I always find it funny that those complaining about Bautista exhibit the exact same temperament they are complaining about in the manner in which they post . Look in the mirror. Complaining about something without any evidence that Bautista was the guy is hilarious. I doubt it was Bautista.

Tilting at windmills.

Damn South Americans. So emo all the time.

Good comparison, umps will go on a power trip if you f*** with them (just like the cops)

********. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

You think the umps penalized Youkilis for being the biggest douche of them all? Nope.

yeah...oritz whines after every pitch. The reason isolated incidents don't hurt a team as a whole is that every team has complainers. Bryce Harper got a called strike three on a three and two count a couple days ago and started arguing with the ump and then started jogging towards first! If anything Bautista seems to complain less than he did a couple years ago, and he's not stupid..he's not going to do something like Harper did....but bats is an emotional guy and a bad call in a close moment in the game and he's going to let the umps know from time to time.

You need to be in a position of authority to understand the concept.

"Toronto — Visiting teams at Fenway Park will be required to wait until the umpires come off the field before going into the dugout walkway post-game, according to what a major league source says was the result of verbal sparring between some members of John Gibbons’ coaching staff and the crew that worked the Toronto Blue Jays series with the Boston Red Sox last week."
