It's the Umps job to run the game, if a player is stopping that from happening they should have the power to remove them.

Of course they should not abuse that power.

The way some players act toward umps would never be allowed in the general workforce.

This is theater, period  .. performaces performed for us as fans. That is the product.  They don’t make widgets.  It has nothing to do with a general workforce.  The issue is whether the “rhubarb” rituals acted out by plsyers and umpires actualiy improve the product or not. 
This umpire performance was petty and vain imho and robs fans of seeing the product. Certainly order can be maintained without this 1900s era macho procedure and this  arbitrary ability of field umpires makes the game worse imho

Horrible call. You can turn towards second.  Did he make any attempt to advance to 2B?  No.

"Provided he does not attempt or feint an advance to 2B".  Of course that's open to some interpretation. I just think the ump made a stupid interpretation. 

[Sports Guy]

In the past game interview, Mancini said he “voiced his displeasure” and got kicked out.  Lol

[Yossarian]

If say it worked out in Baltimore's favor.   McKenna came in and got a hit, scored a run,  and drove in a run on a sac fly.  That is statistically more production than what Mancini would be expected to provide.

You could tell the vump had made up his mind to call Mancini out as soon as he turned toward the field instead of toward the dugout.   He followed Mancini back to the bag with his neck stretched out to see a tag and Mancinis foot.  The base coach had no part in this - the ump knew he was going to call him out as soon as Trey turned inside.

It was a bad call. But, Mancini was LAZY.... we teach LL'ers to turn away from 2nd base, Mancini did not. He also made no attempt to get back to bag quickly. Secondly, Mancini got mad after reviewing it on a dugout Ipod.  Just stupid, lazy baseball by Mancini, the umpire and the 1st base coach.

And a good play by the Catcher.

[AlbNYfan]

Yes, it was. Good catchers will always make the just in case tag. Just like infielders do at 2nd and 3rd on tag plays. I suspect, at the Oakland Park you see catcher's more active because of the immense amount foul territory. You also see 2nd basemen moving to back up first on infield throws.

What a load of ****. 
 

Anyone who could be so slightly confused to think that Mancini turning into the field could have been possibly construed as making an intentional move towards second base is insane. 
 

Mancini was walking back to first. It was obvious. The umpire simply wanted to have a moment and flex. And I don’t care that Mancini got thrown out, he had every right to voice his displeasure in whatever manner he felt would get his point across. In fact, I hope he used Crash Davis’ magic phrase.

Terrible call…they should fine the umpire

Fire him and donate his pension to Trey's charity.

That was a pure ego move by the ump.  If you closely at his pants while he is arguing with Hyde you can see something really itty bitty suddenly get hard.

Hint: rhymes with ejection.

If you see the slower motion replay of Mancini yelling from the dugout...he earned his ejection lol.  Not to say I wouldn't have likely reacted similarly.

No matter what is being said from the dugout.. why the heck do umpires need to respond to it?  Nobody in the stands can hear it and it is not disrupting the game until an overly sensitive, traditional bound umpire walks over and makes it a show. 
 

NFL refs hear profanity ALL the time and do nothing to coaches 

Coach K was totally profane to refs ALL the time .. never got a T 

[tntoriole]

Now if Lou Piniella is out pulling up bases or Billy Martin spreading dirt or Earl turning that hat then fine ..

 

ok but that was the theatrics then.. it just doesn’t appeal to me as a fan anymore.
