Billy Martin, eat your heart out

[Cunning Linguist]

This is the best game ejection ever.

 

You're outta here!

[DMD]

Sometimes I think I will never, ever "get" baseball.

[alchico]

 

I especially liked the crawling up to the mound and launching the rosin bag

I'll never understand the rather common notion of basically going out and knowing that you're gonna get tossed. I mean, in other sports guys get tossed but in, say football, it's a total spur of the moment reaction. Some dude hits you late, you spin around and punch him, you're gone.

 

Baseball it's a whole different animal. You have to think that 90% of the time, these managers may as well say, "Well guys, have a good game, I'm going to get thrown out now" before they leave the dugout.

Exactly right. I love the way the manager and the umpire go cap bill to cap bill - it's like good choreography. Ron Gardenhire of the Twins is an absolute master at it.

Another thing, when you get tossed in other sports, you are gone, like right now. Basketball players barely have enough time to do the typical rip the jersey off routine on the way to the tunnel. Football, same issue, you are escorted immediately to the locker room. Baseball, they just let you have your little fit for as long as you need.

For the life of me I cannot imagine NFL coaches acting like that. Can you picture Belichick acting that way? Dungy? Any NFL coach? The most they do to lose composure is to be like Denny Green in the presser after the CHI loss. Looks like something out of professional wrestling to me.

Now come on, you can't picture Tom Landry throwing his fedora to the ground and kicking it all around the field?

Or a couple former coaches like Bum Phillips or Jerry Glanville?

[Timmypg]

While I can't picture a NFL coach throwing his hat they pretty much do the same thing just on the sideline. NFL coaches yell at the refs all game long. They throw clipboards, towels, & headsets. Basketball coaches do it too.

why are youpicking on the Oilers?

Yeah the grenade thing was hilarious.

Yeah, this guy just basically made an ass out of himself. Pure show.

You have to wonder if it was his turn to buy the beer and snacks after the game and he needed a little extra time to get it done.

 

Of course, this is the only exciting thing about baseball, the "Manager Meltdown".

Well, what's the excuse now that beer in the clubhouse is strictly forbidden since grown men apparently can't help but get drunk and speed while talking on their phone and smack into tow trucks if they have a beer at the game?

[The Irish Doggy]

You play to be ejected from the game.

apples and oranges IMO.

You gotta love the characters that are MLB managers. NFL coaches are robots compared to the classic managers over the years. I think it is great, and gives baseball the character and color that makes it such a great game.

 

such different games, impossible to compare, but that is one area MLB will alwyas have over the NFL is individual characters and nuances that have grown and become the norm over the years.

 

The NFL does have the running dialogue on the sidelines though..... A lot of the NFL coaches are running their mouths at the sideline official the entire game........... and they never get tossed either.

Here is another good one:

Make sure you turn up the sound.
