Greinke ejected after four pitches by the 1st base ump [Holbrook] for spiking the ball onto the ground after a runner was called safe @ 1st on a bang-bang play. Terrible umpiring. Ump should be suspended.

#4Especially when you have pussy egomaniacs umping games like you see in the bigs. They think they're a part of the game. They want you to know them by name. Good umps should be like good offensive linemen -- invisible.Comment -

#7So by your logic, anyone who ever breaks a bat over their knee in frustration for a called third strike should get tossed too because that is showing up the ump, right?Comment -

#10That was the right call. Players get tossed if they throw their helmets onto the field.
If you blame anybody, you blame Greinke. Very foolish on Grienkie's part.Comment -

#15I'm not saying Greinke isn't at fault or that he isn't totally unpredictable on the road. I'm just not seeing anything that warranted an immediate ejection there. Maybe something had already been said to him before that -- I don't know.Comment -

#16he means when you swing and miss and break your bat it is looked at as frustration at yourself, when you throw ball down like a little bitch because of a call you are showing the ump up...if i was ump i would have bitch slapped Greinke whiny assComment -

#20It was an overreaction. Simple as that. Umpire probably even wishes he could take it back. But... 'YOU'RE GONE... wait, nevermind' looks even worse.Comment -

#28I'm convinced many of these people officiating games (mlb, nba, whatever) are frustrated players who were never quite good enough to make it as pros. Many of them also are convinced that the crowd is there to watch them.
Did Greinke fukk up? Sure, he did. But a good ump would have simply chewed his ass for all to see and allowed him to go back to the mound with his tail tucked between his legs.
I wasn't watching the game but I did see the video. And by Greinke's immediate reaction to getting the boot, I doubt he said anything disparaging to the ump; he just spiked the ball in the opposite direction after taking a few steps away from him, no less. Sure, it was unprofessional and the letter of the law warrants an ejection. However, good umps - those who actually take pride in being an ump and not a celebrity - should also factor in the spirit of the law.Comment -

#32An umpire in the Mets/Cubs game just rung a guy up to end the game on a pitch at least 5-6 inches off the corner. I'm guessing he did this because the previous 2 pitches were also 5-6 inches off the corner and the fans were crying about them being called balls.
Kind of a pussy move.Comment -

And this is just one example of how I gain an edge in the crazy business. These are games played by humans, officiated by humans, cheered and booed by humans.Comment
