Ubaldo Jimenez tossed in the 4th w/ out allowing a hit

[daneblazer]

Ubaldo Jimenez was ejected from Friday's game against the Red Sox after hitting Pablo Sandoval with a pitch.
The veteran right-hander hadn't allowed a hit through his 3 2/3 innings of work before getting the gate from home plate umpire Jordan Baker. There had been no warning of either bench, and the pitch didn't appear to be intentional, so the quick ejection was extremely curious.

these fukkin umps and refs need to go... they think fans come or turn the TV on to watch them. all they do it fukk everything up

[teecee]

It was intentional. Sandoval nearly broke the 2nd baseman's ankle trying to break up the double play..

[teecee]

I still think there should have been a warning.

[STAX]

the umps are still egotistical fukks. they honestly think they are important.

Had him in one of my fantasy lineups also had pitcher that got knocked out 1st inning other day by line drive

No warning needed for ejection. In all other sports you get ejected for deliberate action.

[teecee]

Sandoval deliberately slid way inside the baseline to INTENTIONALLY take out the 2nd baseman's ankle, so I guess he should have been ejected.

It is commonplace in baseball to give warnings to both sides when a batter is hit.

[teecee]

Yes, I'm pissed I lost a bet. I had the right fukkin side and I got robbed.

[TwoWays]

Really think the pichers have a secret pact or something.

[pavyracer]

Can't throw at a batter on purpose anymore. Ubaldo got chucked.

I agree with you! A strike is a strike ~ a ball is a ball from the first pitch of the game to the last pitch. One thing that reigns the umps in is the national games where they have the computer k zone a lot to show where the ump is calling them - where his bias is. They don't like being shown up on national tv and call them better.

As far as balls and strikes - mlb should have the k-zone on every pitch and fire or suspend umps that miss x # of pitches a game.

Is it too much to ask that a professional umpire get 90% of the balls and strikes correct?

Yea their really penetrating up so far this year.

Like in the braves vs jays game..dickey made a beautiful throw which should have been called strike 3 against markaikis but instead walked him next pitch then next batter was freeman and he hit a second deck shot.

Jays still won but its calls like this that really impacts the game and makes them tough to cap sometimes.
