Michigan Baseball Player Gets Ejected For The Dumbest Reason

Baseball has to be full of the most sensitive people on earth.

The ump probably thought he was showing him where the pitch was... inside. He thought he was “showing him up!”

The line he drew was perpendicular to the path of the ball. Don’t think he was showing the umpire up in that way. Player had to have said something or this umpire is an idiot.

That’s bullshite.

good lord.

If he drew a line, that's an automatic ejection. It's petty, but they warn coaches at the plate meeting. Don't argue balls and strikes. Drawing a line is always an immediate ejection.

Ump should go back to ten and under travel ball

I heard after the bad call, he told the umpire "this is how many inches I'm putting in your wife tonight". Then, proceeded to draw the line.

I watched this about a dozen times earlier and I just don’t get it. If you watch the batter, his body language is not out of the ordinary. He honestly looks like he barely reacts to the call. Even the line he may or may not have drawn is questionable because it’s so quick and he’s looking towards the outfield when it occurs. All I’m seeing is that he drops the bat head and then taps his cleats off in one motion as he begins stepping out of the box.

Only way I could see this happening is if the player said something to the Umpire.

I suspect the ump thought he was drawing a line as to where the batter thought the pitch was.

Umpires have little to no accountability. If you wanna see bad, watch NCAA softball.

ump motioned with his hand like he was swinging a bat like the player did. still, what is the foul?

Umpire should be suspended.

He had to have said something! Only way that happened

That umpire should never call a game again

It looks like even the catcher was looking at the ump like WTF?. Unless the batter said something that sure was a BS ejection

Probably muttered "FU ump" under his breath.

WTF?

So there’s no way he said something Larry?
