Here's Madison Bumgarner losing his mind bc some creepy ump is mad dogging him

JomBoy style


Why is the umpires union so powerful and full of cocksuckers?

These dumbasses don't know how close they are to being replaced by a laser...

All it takes is the players union and MLB agreeing to cut them out of the game.

If calling balls and strikes super accurately was possible, we'd already have seen it. It's not easy.

The ump vs madbum was 100% wrong but bitching about a strike zone that's a ball or two off the plate is crap. I'd love to see any of you guys do better, and this is a job that just about anyone can do, so go for it.

Last year's data showed that the ump was correct 94% of the time.

Frick that umpire

I hope they reprimand him for instigating Bum’s reaction

Umpire, whether he said anything or not, was the cause for the escalation

I do think there's this perception that the technology is there to call balls and strikes 100% accurately but that perception is not close to accurate at this time. Those boxes you see on t.v. are not 100% accurate. Talk to some of the folks in the minors where they have experimented with robo-umps and there are some stories.

You can YouTube a few examples of robo umps really screwing up balls and strikes very easily.

Last year's data showed that the ump was correct 94% of the time

so average about 130 pitches per game x 162 x 32 teams = 40,000+ bad calls

98% of which are Angel "frick you, im de boss" Hernandez

That ump is either borderline sociopathic, a closeted homo, or both.

Regardless, that was creepy AF.

In that poster's defense, I think Madbum was being a little ridiculous and was obviously miffed for giving up one so early. The calls were inconsistent, but I don't think they were objectively bad.

If he'd gotten a "don't start that shite" and then went off on the HP ump, I think his ejection would have been pretty well earned

Of course, whatever happened with Dan Bellino changed the situation entirely, and that's inexcusable and should merit (ha) action from MLB.

Minus non-objective calls like swinging strikes and pitches where no call is made like balls put in play. Which probably make up a fairly large number of total pitches.

Only that high because Joe West retired.

Has mlb issued a statement or punishment for the ump? When I saw it I was like wth? I thought bumgardener must have done something but even so the ought it was uncalled for.

Watched the whole video and that ump is insane. No reason for that shite
