re: Must Jay sit out Thursday vs USCe?

He likes suckin dicks

Jay absolutely unloaded on the first base ump, called him a fricking idiot and asked him if he was watching the game. He was getting tossed after that.

Unless you were at the game watching Jay intently during the whole exchange, I don’t see how you can possibly know this.

I just watched the replay. All you see is:
- First base ump looks at Jay and says “he didn’t go.”
- Broadcast cuts to a replay.
- Broadcast cuts back to the first base ump, who is staring Jay down for a good ~10 seconds.
- Broadcast cuts to Jay in the dugout for the first time. He’s got his hand to his ear as if he was trying to hear something from the ump and then backs up into the dugout.
- A full 20 seconds after the original exchange, Jay looks back over to the first base ump and says “don’t look over here, watch the game” which implies the ump was still staring him down.

At no point do you see Jay ask him if he’s watching the game, call him a fricking idiot, or “absolutely unload” on him as you suggested. If any of that happened, it was off-camera.

I wasn’t at the game, it all rolled live. Normally when a coach is getting heated up they cut away.

I mean I’m telling you I just watched a replay of the actual broadcast and none of that happened the way you suggested.

Jay definitely told the 1B umpire to watch the game while pointing at the field.
Even Dave and Ben commented on it.

That’s what I said. He tells the ump “don’t look over here, look at the game. Watch the game” way after the original exchange. But he doesn’t call him a “fricking idiot”, ask him if he’s watching the game, or otherwise “unload” over the actual call. Not on camera, anyway. If anything he looks pretty calm, but frustrated that the ump is staring him down in the dugout.

There’s a difference between asking an ump “are you watching the game?” after a bad call vs. telling the ump “don’t look over here, watch the game” when he’s staring into the dugout while play is restarting.

ETA: Just listened again and Dave says “he’s hearing it from the dugout right now” right after the initial call. Then after the replay and the shot of Jay, Dave says the ump is “staring down that LSU dugout right now trying to pinpoint where some of that chirping was.” Ben says “Jay’s like ‘put your eyes on the field. Don’t stare into the dugout. The game’s not in the dugout, the game’s on the field.’” All of this right after Jay motions to the team (maybe to Evans?) to calm down.
