Do Work Son Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Bottom of the 6th 3-1 Florida is winning Ryan Howard is up to bat...the count is 3-2 with 2 men on and 2 outs....Heres the pitch...strike 3 called by the umpire...it looked low and Ryan Howard thought so to and showed that he wasnt happy and then it went to commercial.... Top of the 7th Wes Helms up to bat and the count is 0-2....Heres the pitch....Ball 1 but it was very close....Shane Victorino puts up his arms from center field b/c he thought it was strike 3....Outta no where the umpire starts to walk fast toward center field and throws out victorino b/c he threw up his arms In the meantime wes helms has no clue wats going on and neither does any1 else in the stadium....shane starts to run off the field and bolts toward the umpire and pushes paul bako outta the way to try to get in the umpires face...his teamates held him back and managed to get him into the dugout b4 he does something stupid... Anyway this was a 1st for me and is one of the worst ejections i've ever seen...If you didnt see it yet make sure you watch sports center later...let me know what you think...

Um, maybe the ump told the Philly bench to zip it any number of times during the game and felt shown up?

After the Ryan Howard strikeout the announcers said that the umpire said to him "I know its hot out here big boy" and then that was it...As far as I know there was no warning to the philly bench..

TDFFFreak Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Let's just hope that the Phillies will regroup after an awful series with the Marlins. That was the LAST team that we wanted to get swept by right now. Edited August 9, 2009 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I was watching the game. I've never seen a center fielder thrown out for arguing balls and strikes. They showed the replay and he just raised his arms in disgust after a pitch. The umpire was out of line there, in my opinion. Thankfully, Bako and Howard held Victorino back, or he would have had a suspension. He looked like he wanted to kill the ump. As a Victorino owner in fantasy baseball, I'm glad he got held back.

Gopher Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Bad week for Shane... he got a beer dumped on him while catching a fly ball last night... at least he held on to the ball. The timing of the jacka$$ who threw it was pretty good, I must admit. Victorino was wiping off his face, jersey, and glove well after the play and into the next at-bat.
