So a bag of seeds and spitting them on the field is considered OK for a professional umpire? I wouldn't even consider that on a HS or Legion field but maybe that's just me. Horrible call.

Note the caption on the video: Gardenhire ejected for arguing **close** play at third.

The umpire is so calm during the argument...the ejection was very cordial.

It's Gardenshire! You just expect him to get tossed, no big deal anymore.

As for the call and Marquez's appearance and behavior during the argument: embarrassing, unprofessional, astounding, horrible ... anyone?

Par for the course in Marquez's game.

So, Gardenhire didn't have a case here? What has happened to MLB umpiring? This continuing sequence of inexplicably missed calls is disturbing. Maybe he was reaching for a snack instead of watching the play.

He did.

But, did you ever hear the story about the little boy that cried "Wolf" all the time.

The seeds thing is absolutely dumbfounding.

A partner to me last Sunday after putting a seed bag to his mouth in B or C position at least a dozen times: "What do you have for me?"

Me: "Ballplayers started out as boorish, undisciplined slobs. Umpires started out dressed in top hats and coats and ties. We haven't evolved far enough to allow for eating from a bag and spitting out the remains, while we're supposed to be working. And I'm not even talking about moving up, I'm talking about respecting the level of play you're working now."

Seeds being poured in the mouth on a field is unprofessional.

Wow, talk about kicking it "Old School".

I chew bubble gum (Dubble Bubble, not Super Bubble) and keep a couple of extra pieces in my pocket. Sometimes I blow a bubble. Is that acceptable?

1. If he did miss, and he didn't, how can you possibly make that call when the runner stops.
Boy, howdy. As my user name would suggest, I'm fairly new at this craft, but wouldn't most use every clue, such as the runner giving himself up, as a pretty good indication what the call should be? Plus, given his position, how could he not see it? Perhaps, sometimes, in a two man crew, one might be forgiven for being straight-lined on a play between bases, but what the heck?

And to return to the video, he's got seeds sticking out of his pocket? Seeing that garbage, I thought what the heck is that?? It was a bag of seeds? And he continued spitting husks out while Gardenhire was arguing the call?? That is simply execrable. Look, I'm new; I don't presume to pass judgement, but I don't even chew gum out there! He resembles some of the career burn-outs I've seen in my real workplace, sad to say.

When a moderator acts that stupidly, he should explain himself.
