Also watch around 9:30, where the PU takes his mask off and follows the batter off the circle. Let the guy have his say, and let him walk off. He didn't turn around, and show you up.

Look, the MLB is show business, and nobody, I mean nobody, aside from some umpire geeks, paid to watch the arbitors.

And what does that mean? I guess that the players should be disrespectful and the umpires should just take it? I find it funny if the umpires did anything to the players or coaches like they do to them, then people would be upset and say they stepped over their bounds. But the players and coaches can rant and rave, pout like children and the umpires are supposed to look the other way. Unbelievable!!!!!

Peace

You have no idea what was said to the PU.

It's ironinc that you are getting on the guys in this case for "manning up" like you want the basketball guys to do.

You're talking like a rat, now. Congratulations.

Easy now, fellas. Remember, I'm just talking about MLB here. Not what we do. If a guy turns around says $#!+ to me, yeah, he's getting run. But it's different at that level. You let him have his say, and as long as he's moving on, you don't chase him with your mask off. That's the way most handle it.

But you got on basketball officials about a week ago for not putting up with crap and now you are upset that a manager is yelling at someone not in a discussion and he gets tossed as a result. At least be consistent that is all.

Jeff,

I think Kyle was on the other side of that discussion, wondering why basketball officials appear to him to be taking too much crap.

That make his opinions pretty consistent.

I do not think he understands basketball officiating to be honest. So his comments now are to suggest that West should just sit there and get yelled at and have a coach gesturing at him all day long. Based on his comments about basketball officials, they should not take that crap at all. Now he is getting on a guy for not putting up with that crap and he is being critical. So which is it? Either it is OK to get yelled at from a distance or it is not? His critique was that basketball officials should be dumping coaches for yelling at them. West was yelled at, he dumped the guy.

Peace

I hear you, Jeff. But I agree with Kyle (with the caveat that I don't know exactly what was said), that JW did appear to be overstepping by running this guy from such a distance. I thought the PU should have given him the heave-ho.

Tim.

Good morning Jeff, I just want to ask this: We are working together and you've had a few coin flip calls that go against the same team. Late in the game, I have a banger at the dish that is an out against his team. He comes out and is upset at my call. While questioning it, he points to you a few times and says, "I expect calls like that from him but not you, Blue." Do you dump him?

Just asking.
