[Baseball fan]

Truth hurts I guess

[JaysAllMighty]

umps have no business following a player hoping they say anything else. Ump could have chosen to turn his back and let it slide but he was staring at Weiters looking for confrontation. it's ******** and MLB needs to clean up it's collective umpiring s***.

 

Really? So the ump must look away when confronted? Get real.

[RealAccountant]

Where is all the power it's like they are afraid to swing

[Trouba95]

So frustrating

[HERPDERP]

ugh Venditte

[Spanky99]

Keep it clean Venditte.

[burlingtonbandit]

Edwin and Tulo need to step it up.

[Angrioter]

Venditte............This could become in a disaster

the confrontation was initiated by the ump. He was looking for it and there was no need. I don't expect an ump to back down if a player comes at him but if the guy is walking away let him walk. Weiters was on his way to the dugout and the ump was looking for a reason to throw him out. He did exactly the same to Jose earlier and luckily Jose just stared at him. I'll be the ump would have tossed him had he said ANYTHING. this guy is a colossal douche who always thinks he's the star of the game.

If the player is physically in his face, then of course not, but if the player is walking back to the dug out, the umpire should ignore unless the player says something out of the ordinary. The game is not about the umpires.

VendYikes

[Spanky99]

That was sick.

So what did the player say to the ump? Do we know those facts?

I agree with this statement.

 

They also need to stop the nonsense of having the umps wait around while the team in the dugout is checking video before asking for a challenge on the play - That was never the original intention and it does slow up the game.

[Spanky99]

Edwin and Tulo need to step it up.

 

Edwin needs to step it up???

[THANOS]

Ughh.

[JFD]

why are we using this guy in a 1 run game?

[IBTrini]

Another call goes in favor of the jays, f***ing horrible umpiring by that home plate umpire.

No arguing about the bad umpiring but it isn't as though it is favouring the Jays.

[Dylan]

[Sammy225]

[Terminator]

Venditte is throwing the slider to that part of the plate every single time. He should switch it up.

[Angrioter]

Cmon Venditte

[Spanky99]
