Beautiful Mother’s Day as everyone’s gathered at Coors Field grow again for the fills Bryce Harper leads off the sixth we’re in Colorado where everyone is enjoying Mother’s Day with the values of kindness Grace consideration empathy actually I do want to talk about the strike zone box graphic which looks a
Little bit suspect absence a lot more than you think it looks a little out of place like the Capital One behind third base there but this happens a lot more than you think the strike zone is going to feature prominently not just for this sixth inning ejection and the shorber at bat
But a seventh inning dust up as well but let’s begin with schwarber [Applause] talks to the Umpire who’s exhibiting those values of patience and empathy and kindness and understanding now the manager comes out you can come out to protect your player but as soon as you start arguing balls and strikes you’re
Gonna get tossed going on in this game he was heated by the time from the time he stepped out of the Dugout the reason the player is okay but the manager is not is the player can be said to be going back to the Dugout umpire discretion on how long you want to
Listen to that but the manager is clearly leaving his position in The Dugout to come onto the field to argue balls and strike that’s ejectable remember it’s with this Strike Zone box so everyone’s super on the same page about everything right Jake bird warming up in the pen Marsh does take
Philadelphia doesn’t like the strike zone and bird not the Umpire who thinks he’s throwing strikes is going to take offense round ball up to shortstop gobbled up they throw to Second for one over the first in time they might be challenging even to play at second base
Whether his feet were on the bag meanwhile Philly without its regular manager has failed to hold immediately after the play and challenged timely as required in the challenge rules so this Fiasco happens where the umpires won’t say anything over the public address system leaving everyone to speculate despite them having a microphone because
Baseball is the best sport ever I do believe somebody else is going to wind up getting [Applause] which is fine tell us that so now stop tosses the bat like it’s ball four or he’s a college player hitting a home run who’s about to get tossed and Bert sees
All of this like I’m throwing these strikes y’all are showing me up by acting like they’re not but they are except it’s just Philadelphia being super passive aggressive towards the home plate umpire because they had a problem with his Zone which predates bird coming into the game this is not a strike
Either the Rockies or the Phillies somebody’s going to get Run Stop flies out bird taunts the Phillies Dugout and we’re gone well Bryce Harper’s got to have to be held back Jake Byrd started saying something Harper’s not happy about it he’s pushing Diaz watch the elbow JT’s
Coming over as well they’re telling yeah Jake bird must have said something as he was going off the fields Harper is extricated and from an umpiring standpoint what needs to be done now is to go into bench clear mode we’ve talked about the separation of haves Concept in the past Third Base
Dugout team is separated to the left side first base Dugout to the right separate the teams then figure out who started or instigated who was the first from the other team to respond how did they respond did anyone throw her hit were there any peacemakers that could be
Mistaken for combatants things like that at the ignition point an Umpire can step in to try to separate but once he recognize it’s a clearing and you’re outnumbered step back and just watch for later in this situation it’s clear the pitcher instigated Harper was the primary on Philadelphia lower levels
It’s easy everyone’s gone who’s Off the Bench but in professional ball it’s just another Mother’s Day in the park talk a lot of smack for somebody who didn’t throw the ball ball that well
