which is the exact same thing 90% of players do every single game when they get a borderline call against them. I don't blame JD at all, umps need to stop being such sourpusses

 

How about the concept that having a reputation of always being nice to the umps will bring more calls in your favor? Why treat the umps like they are your enemies? They have a job to do and they are humans. Respect goes both ways.

What game are you watching?

 

Blue Jays game. They showed the strikeout leaders.

Just got home, why was JD thrown out?

 

JD was chirping back at the Twins bench after the Twins bench was chirping him for not running out the grounder, the ump thought it was directed at him and immediately overreacted and ran him.

Donaldson for sure didn't chirp at the umpire based on his reaction when he went back to argue his ejection. So he said something not related to baseball.

 

And that was directed to someone behind the umpire, whether it was a fan or the Twins bench. What if he said something dismissive, like "shut up?" you want the umpire to not eject a guy who says that?

That from the same source who told you Martin was going to be suspended for PEDs?

Ya I never said it was Martin. I said a player in the Jays organization. And I was right by the way.

Umpires should not be ejecting any player for saying anything, unless it gets to an absurd level after a warning or 2.

that's not what the rules says so they need to play by the rules and stfu when it comes to balls/strikes.

Entirely speculation, nobody has any context here. What we do know for sure though is that the ump better have had a pretty god damn good reason to toss out a player in the first AB of the game.

 

And speaking of respect how come the reigning AL MVP didn't get the benefit of the doubt there? JaysAlmighty was talking about respect being a two-way street but I didn't see any respect shown to JD there.

No...I am pretty for sure you said another Blue Jays player. Never mentioned it could be a player in the minors

This. Jays are getting a reputation as a bunch of punks.

i'm sure he had a good reason, we'll see after the game.

 

Who cares if he is the reigning AL MVP? If you are disrespectful to an umpire (whether it was intended at him or not is irrelevant) you deserve to get ejected.

Yep. Umps can do whatever they want. They're in charge.
