I love this ejection mechanic. A bunch of people go after him just because he has a hobby (the gym). This relaxed mechanic, almost looking like a fade away, I feel to be less likely to be interpreted as an ejection out of anger. Instead, it comes across as an ejection made by reason, maybe even a bit begrudgingly

Jimenez missed so many calls on 6/28/2024. It was embarrassing. He successfully replaced Angel Hernandez this season. The MLB needs to send him back to the minors.

It seems catchers are moving their glove more than in the past.

Does the umpire have to notify the defensive team that he missed the plate?

Guy is a showpony. Apple Siri is better at baseball.

At 1:45 “Congratulations and thank you for celebrating Pride Night?” Are you kidding me? What the heck that has anything to do with baseball? Bye bye CloseCallSports. UNSUSCRIBED

Randy Wolf's brother is a huge fan of Steroids he also wanted take them as well to defend himself against tough players & coaches

Do the multiple colors of the logo mean anything?

Imagine being so jacked, he's not even wearing a chest protector back there. What an animal. Also, what low profile chest protector is he actually wearing?

Home plate umpire awarded the batter first base initially, then when asked by Orioles manager to consult with the crew, he did so and then waived him back. Is that the proper protocol or once the call was made by Estabrook do the Orioles have to issue a formal challenge to have the call overturned?

Anyone else notice the lack of "in your face" arguing here. i guess having arms the size of tree trunks has merit. haha!!

If I were an MLB manager, I would simply be too ashamed to have that much misplaced anger or be so publicly wrong all the time.

we're on pace for about 200 ejections this season

I always thought of myself as a pretty athletic guy, but when I see Jim Wolf, I always think that maybe I don't spend enough time in the gym. I mean this guy is 54 yo, it's amazing how he keeps himself in perfect shape!

I do not care anymore about managers and players arguing balls and strikes. Everyone knows, you are going to be tossed.

I like how he just non chalant about listening, not taking it personal, just like a Dad laying down the facts.

even game? so if u miss 20 calls on each side? even game, move on!

There it is again, two strikes on them and just standing there with the bat on their shoulders. Man alive...

This is the result when you can’t hit MLB pitching.

Weak ejection as Q was headed back to the dugout!!

Ha!

Different strategy....great stuff!

I'm still curious if there's some analysis done on manager ejection impact on team performance. Or maybe the additional attention impacting business revenue? Most of these ejections just seem stupid to me, so I'm trying to figure out why the managers continue.

Wolf has always seemed like one of the better, more friendly umps to me. Even that ejection was pretty low key and not particularly demonstrative. That said, he did get fooled by the framing. If the Astros are still mad about that 6 innings later... well it is what it is. Espada was possibly protecting his player from getting tossed, and the post-ejection performance was perhaps his way of getting workout tips from Mr. Wolf.

AH. Mr. Wolf

Haha bout those fricken arms on Jim Wolf 😮

Ahhh. much better.. ejections for arguing balls/strikes.. the axis is back.

I honestly don't get why the Nationals were whining. And I am someone who HATES what baseball has become, with the showboating and taunting. I just saw NONE of that in the game winning hit celebration. Nothing wrong with celebrating with your teammates after coming back form 0-2 and hitting a gamed winning hit with 2 outs. Nationals catcher should have been tossed the second he touched Profar. And when he touched him AGAIN after the brawl...how is that NOT an automatic..and possible suspension.

There’s a difference between tag attempt, and attempt to tag. The rulebook refers to this situation as a tag attempt, but what governs a runners line to the next base is an attempt to tag, not a tag attempt

As an Astro fan, this team really pissed me off during this game. Just straight garbage playing.

Wolf at least looks like he may have played some ball, most of the umpires look like they were recruited from coach potatoes are us.

Lol, he almost yanked that pitch out of the top of the zone.

It’s a little harder without the trash cans, isn’t it, Astros?

is that the ump making those noises or were those added LOL

It looked like a situation where Espada was arguing so that his player didn't get ejected. It's just unfortunate that you have to deal with coaches yelling at you even when you are doing a good job. There was really only one conclusive miss that I saw in the first inning. Everything else was spot on.

hahaha amazing call on him missing the ball because of pulling the pitch!

Is it just me or are manangers not getting their moneys worth this season?

It was clearly in the strike zone. And arguing balls and strikes with the umpire is never going to end well.

Great analysis and video. Completely agree with you here the pitcher and manager have to go after that HBP. The umpires have to protect the players in the game by erroring on the side of it being intentional because at the end of the day they don't KNOW if it was intentional. But after the confrontation at the plate and subsequent warning, I don't think letting it go is the correct decision.

Cant stand umpires, makes baseball unwatchable. No one wants to see them.

I disagree with when you think the tag attempt occurred. J-Ram just getting the ball in glove with all momentum going the other way is a far cry from a tag attempt. This is a blown call.

The whole idea of the runner's momentum not being allowed to factor in is partly what bothers me about this and the previous "out of base path" call that was studied earlier this season. The runner was heading away from the bag/tag when the fielder finally gained possession of the ball; it's literally the only thing that physics will allow.

That’s a tough, tough call…..momentum carried him away, but I think the ump made the right call.

Good call

Wway more than 3ft and he was locked in the moment he got the ball.

Ejection 100 extravaganza

Totally agree with this assessment. Really appreciate the detailed explanation.

I love it when Rangers players get crunk...this is easily top 3 fight, after Nolan/Ventura, and Roughed Odor's punch heard round the world lol

Why can't any of you slow it down so we can see that clearly?

This is clearly obstruction, the fielder's foot is front of the base before the ball is in his glove. As usual, close call sides with the umpire and gets it wrong.
