Worst Coach Tirade Ever?

[BoomerSooner]

You be the judge, I don't think I've seen anything like this not even from Pinella. I gather from reading the article that the video is only a sample of the behavior.

Our local news channel showed the entire video. Amazing, unbelievable, to say the least.

Amazing. The umpires showed alot of class by shutting their mouths and not saying a word. I don't know if I could have done that.

It goes without saying that if the "replacement" umps were out there, this would have never happened!

I love how PU looked like he was just writing it all down towards the end.

Good job blues. That guy is a headcase. Never seen one that bad.

[BoomerSooner]

Does anybody know what set him off? The article suggested that it all started over a pickoff attempt, but who goes crazy over a failed pick off? I doubt the runner was just nailed by a great amount if at all.

On another note he did show some nice athleticism on the head first slide. I think he may have been out of the baseline though

I'll one up you...

Maybe not as good, but sometimes you just wonder where players get off acting like idiots. And coaches too.

[BoomerSooner]

The Ark-Miss video is an example of a player unable to control his rage and displaying anger. The minor league coach just went off the deep end. The coach was just insane, the player was angry. Were either justified, not really, but I do see them as different. The player seemed to be calculating in this course of action, even rational (trying to get a call and angry that he didn't). I don't see any thought process going through the coaches head, just pure craziness.

Either way these guys have something wrong with their medula oblangata.

What a pair of boobs.

I think if I were the PU, I might have decked this a$$hole! I don't think I could take a jerk like this anymore!

[mbyron]

There's something wrong with this story, or this fellow. Going ballistic over a "safe" call on a pick-off play at 2B? That's ridiculous.

As for the umpires, I suppose you can keep your cool by reflecting on the facts that: 1) it's all part of the show, and not about you, and 2) this guy's career won't be advancing much further.

Here is what he said after the game. Thinking he made need some therapy.

I like the irony of this statement:

"I thought the strike was over," Mikulik told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "When will the real umpires show up? That's what I want to know. Because that was an abortion. That was bad. I just wish the umpire's association would train their young men to have a personality. I could get two mannequins at Sears and umpire better than what I saw this whole series.
The whole series was awful."




...did the AMLU keep Asheville in the dark an extra week or so?

[pdxblue]

If the replacement umps were there, this surely would not have happened. These AMLU guys just don't know how to handle these kinds of situations.

I think he owes an apology to everyone who has ever had an abortion...
