To be fair, Aaron Boone has been a little bitch the last few seasons.

And how about just start firing or fining umpires for dumb shite to improve the pool of them? Robot umps are so robotic and cold to the game.

Don’t shoot the messenger, I also think this was BS if it went down the way Boone said, but the umpire told the media afterward that he was not responding to anything that was said from Boone’s direction, by him or a fan, but to something said from the other side of the Yankee dugout and rather than go down there and try to pick out who said it, and to keep a player in the game rather than the manager, he threw Boone out to send a message. He said he’d never thrown a player or manager out for something a fan said, and he thought Boone was trying to spin it that way and make that the story. Take that as you will.


Just blatantly lying to everyone's face to cover up for a pathetic error everyone saw in essentially real time

He should be suspended and then made fun of publicly by MLB for concocting the lie. Honestly, I think you should be treated more harshly for the subsequent public lying (especially where it falsely implicates other people) than for the original incident (cough, Myles Garrett, cough). But alas, nobody ever is.

Not a good look after the Angel Hernandez debacle last week.

Boone has an ejection rate higher than Bobby Cox at this point.

I like the idea of demoting abject failures like Hunter W and Angel H down to minors for a few months where they will be carefully supervised and retrained before becoming eligible to return to MLB.

I’d imagine spending a few months in places like Stockton, Peoria, Allentown and Trenton, NJ would be a humbling experience and effective performance enhancing program for these clowns who think they’re the stars of the show

I completely agree with you if he’s proven to be lying. As noted in my original post I think it’s BS if it went down like Boone said. I just figured people needed to hear what the ump said. After I posted that, I found the complete story of everything he said and it was fairly obvious that he was in CYA mode.

“I’m not probably right, I’m fricking right”

Shrug

Like an argument with my wife, pointless and I won’t win.

Tl;dr “Boone didn’t say anything, the fans were yelling at me and someone from the Yankee dugout might’ve said something after I warned them, so I threw out Boone.”

This just makes him look worse. This clown belongs in the bush leagues.

Well that is completely retarded. The dude made a mistake and thought the coach said something when he didn't. Just own it he made a mistake why say this stupid crap

Hell no. Umpires making bad calls and arguments are large parts of what make baseball entertaining.

how the hell does he double down on his bogus call afterwards?


Hiw can MLB nit step in at that moment and susoend him for not knowing the rules. Manager is not responsible for fans. What if fan was from opposing team?

Take away umpires ability to eject people. Have MLB issue fines after the game. But they can’t kick out anyone. We will see if they want to keep their egos after that.

Robot umps would only take the accountability from the field and make it invisible. Thats a recipe for disaster

AND keep managers in check by simply letting them challenge. BIG screen shows the result, no hidden headphones/video type bullshite.
