As a neutral, that's close enough that you don't have a strong argument against it. It looked very much like a swing in real time. But I don't think Semien is ejected if there was no chirping from the dugout beforehand.
Looked like a swing to me, I think it was the right call because it's more in the bat then the plate since everyone sets up at the back of the box. He broke even with the swing, honestly impressive the umpire caught it. Don't think he should've thrown Semian out, the umpire really didn't even want to have a conversation which is just egotistical and ridiculous Edit: I am not saying he should allow himself to be berated but it you think Semian going out there and saying lock in is berating, we can agree to disagree
To me it was the opposite. It looked like he held up in real time, but the replay showed the barrel of the bat went around.
Totally agree I would consider the ump reasonable either way. True 50-50 call. Not even close to justifying the Rangers reaction and they were given lots of time to jaw about it. But Semien wanted to get thrown out and was going to just keep it up until he did.
Agree. I can understand Semian’s frustration though as he should’ve had a BB but the home plate ump granted the pitcher that slider… and then the field ump rings him up a few pitches later.
@@AG-fv4yb There's no official MLB rule for what constitutes a strike on a checked swing. It's up to the discretion of umpires. So I'm sure at somepoint this will blow up in a "Dez Caught It" scenario where everything is on the line and an ump doesn't like the smell of a fart squeezed out by the runner on 1st during a check swing in the playoffs and ejects half the team because HOW DARE THEY THINK I WAS WRONG
“I’ve been in baseball longer, I chew gum better” had me dead 😂😂😂😂
my gut hangs over my belt better
Your not dead your still alive
Love boche and his giant head
boch is kind of a big deal. Gotta put some respek on that man’s name.
meh
The umpires never say "well if the game's on the line, stop swinging at balls in the dirt. You need to lock in, buddy."
Lol
@@Steve_Trotta it's because when the player swings, he affects himself, but no one whines about their own play.
I would’ve loved this reply
Exxxx-actly. Shoulda locked it in himself then lol
@@TigerDude333 wait, so when a player makes an obviously bad swing, when the game is on the line, they're affecting themselves, and not the game?
It’s wild to me that the swing/no swing rule doesn’t have any clear standard or metric. It entirely the umpire’s opinion of what is or isn’t a swing. Some people look at the wrists, others look at the bat, and some just go by if it “looks/feels” like a swing. How has MLB not officially clarified what is and isn’t a swing?
According to the rule book it is a judgment call. In the umpire's judgment did the batter make an attempt to hit the ball? If so then it is a strike. If not then it is a ball. You are correct that there is no defined metric. It's a judgment call.
Probably because it would turn into a debacle just like the NFL’s what is a catch.
because how could they?
It's like how NFL refs have no idea what a catch is.
i think they teach the umps to look for the wrists turning over for a check swing to be a strike.
The funny thing, and what most people forget about 50/50 calls, is half of them go against you.
That's not at all true. That's what should statistically happen, but in most cases it's just a bad ump making a bad guess.
@@rars0nmm. No

But of that 50% that go against u, 100% of them are bullshit
In real time I initially thought no swing, but that side angle in slow mo was really close. Call could go either way understandably.
The ump's mechanics on the ejections cracks me up lmaooo. Looks like a whip with the recoil action he's got going on.
I wonder if they practice that during Spring Training.
If Ken Griffey's swing was an rjection motion this would be it Beautiful
MLB ejections are the best due to this.
I think he went, and he definitely went far enough for a reasonable ump to make that call.
yeah no...nice try.
@@TbarRocks it was clearly a swing lol

@@TbarRocks not incompetence, a correct call.
@@williamreynolds3487 watch more baseball, that ump will not last much longer in the bigs...huge ego issue will cost him.
"You gotta really lock in when the game is on the line." Bro swung at a pitch in the dirt 😂. The only one who needs to lock in is the batter.
If the game is on the line, maybe you don't want to keep mouthing off to the ump, and instead focus on the game. The ump is not going to jump in the time machine to reverse the call.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 Hed make the same call with a time machine. Dude swung
Lol funny point
Fr. In the 7th inning lmao. He probably went up to bay again after this too.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 They didn't look like they were being disrespectful. He wasn't emphatic. Ump gonna throw out three just cause he doesn't want to hear it or have a discussion. He needs to grow thicker skin, that's horse shit. They have every right to discuss HOW HE'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO CALL THE GAME.
I normally don't side with the umps but that's clearly a judgment call it could have gone either way
That wasn't 50/50 more like 90/10 in favor of the ump
Nah it was pretty clearly a swing
3 ejections, tho?
@@chrisfloyd7316 If three people do ejectable things, which they all did, then yes, absolutely. You can't bring up something from a past inning, ever. A pitching coach complaining about a check swing call has and incredibly short leash because it has nothing to do with them. These were no-brainer obvious ejections. There are absolutely some bad ones, but these are not.
@@chrisfloyd7316shouldn't have been any. Bc no one should have been arguing
Gotta really lock in and control your check swings when the game is on the line.
As a lifetime Giants fan I do agree that Bruce Bochy has a gigantic head.
Would love to see the breakdown on Bob Melvin’s ejection the other day. Wander Franco check swing, even he knew he swung so started back to the dugout, then they appealed and Jim Wolf said no swing
Yeah, that one was mental! I think it should be treated in the same way as "turning" at first base, if you turned towards dugout after a third strike, you've forfeited your play.
I was thinking the same thing. Wander knew he went and was headed back to the dugout, then casually takes off his protective equipment and heads to first with a look on his face like I knew I didn't swing 🤣
I'm trying to figure out whether picking really ill-advised fights with umpires is becoming more widespread in MLB, or if it's just viral videos that make it appear that way, kind of like the way news media makes you think crime has exploded when it's actually much lower than it was in the "good old days."
@rockinmel1 last year there were 179 ejections. This year there have been over 100 and it’s not even half way. Umpires are definitely a little testy being called out in real time on there bad and borderline calls. Managers and players also know a robotic strike zone is coming soon and they won’t have to put up with umps for much longer.
@@keithhamilton736 Until we have robotic fly out calls, robotic ground out calls, robotic balk calls, and robotic infield fly calls, the umps are going to be around...
@@keithhamilton736do you watch CCS? I only know that stat from watching that YT channel
@@keithhamilton736 The thing about "being called out in real time on there bad and borderline calls" is that it's literally against the rules - 9.02(a) to be exact. It's something ballplayers used to understand, but it seems now like there are some real "gems" who won't even let a borderline call go (as in this video).
@@rockinmel1crazy that questioning the decision of an umpire is against the rules. Name one other sport where this is the case. Pretty much all other sports allow players to request slo motion replays when they think a call is incorrect. Imagine how bad tennis would be if challenging the umpire led to an automatic loss.
he swung lol
Did he strike at the ball? Ump thought yes. He warned the players after they chirped too much, but no one was tossed. Then Simien argued, tossed. Assistant coaches get zero leeway to ague, tossed, then Boch had to argue, toss. All ejections looked by the book to me.
So having a calm conversation between innings is arguing??? You must have even thinner skin than umpires do
@@carsonkahla9162 arguing a call does not need to be demonstrative. One can be exceedingly polite and still argue, and it can still get you thrown out of a game.
@@carsonkahla9162if I calmly tell you that you aren’t paying attention and are sucking at your job when I was actually the one fucking up, you’d just sit there and take it?
@@roybokelman4215 people should be allowed to air grievence.
@@Revkor batters are usually allowed a small amount of time to do just that, but if they continue to “air their grievances “, especially after an umpire’s warning, then the next step is the ejection.
That looked like a swing in real time, and it was definitely a swing after watching the replay. You chirp from the dugout for the rest of the inning and then tell me I need to focus? The Semien ejection was borderline because the ump could have just turned around and walked away, but both coaches can go kick rocks.
The Semien ejection is more about respect and continued complaining, I think. After a warning for arguing from the dugout (even if it wasn't Semien) and the end of the half inning, that's enough time to move on, imo. Semien saying that De Jesus (the umpire) 'needs to lock in' implies Semien thinks De Jesus missed the call AND is not trying hard enough at his job. And beyond all of those...you can't argue balls and strikes. If this wasn't that, I don't know what is. Calm or not, Semien earned this one. (Also on the umpire walking away - Semien was coming out to play defense. De Jesus was at his spot on the first base line. Who instigated this conversation? I think whichever one of them instigated has the burden of walking away.)
Semien can complain when he's at the plate but approaching the umpire later puts him on thin ice. You'll notice the umpire lets him say "you gotta lock it in", but once he brings up balls and strikes it's an automatic ejection.
It's borderline on Semien but he got his warning and then continued arguing balls and strikes. I'd say it was warranted personally
Thats an automatic ejection criteria for the player and the 1st coach. Ump actually didn't have a choice, he had to eject both of them. You cannot leave the dugout or your playing position to argue calls from 2 plays ago. Player wants to talk about locking in with the game on the line but put himself in a position where he either knows or should know that he will be ejected from the game.
That umpire is one of the better ones out there. He got the call right.
Still a clown for throwing 3 people out like a child. Umpire might have made the right call but was still a loser in the end
Ramon DeJesus is NOT one of the better umpires in the game I promise you
From the looks of that swing he has a future as a cricket player.
Bro he is literally a gold glover and is going to start as al all star this year
Literally the best 2nd baseman in the AL and arguably the best 2nd baseman in mlb
@@AD-zb6sc Clearly not a golden batter tho. ba dum tss
@@AD-zb6sc the fact that he's a Gold Glover has zero bearing on his ability at the plate.
Props to Marcus for being chill in a high pressure situation.
but it was a high pressure situation that he created. dude shouldn't have engaged with the ump.
Chill? He's bitching about a reasonable call.
He was speaking calmly
I was always taught the rule was if you break your wrist over the plate it was considered a swing in some places, then if the barrel crosses the 90° on the plate its a swing so it is close
yeah I always thought it was the barrel crossing 90 degrees...TIL I learned its a total judgement call, which is crazy to me
It's not the "rule" per say, but it is the guideline that a lot of umpires follow.
He looked so awful on that swing, i'd call it a swing. I agree with the ump on all 3 ejections. It's still arguing balls and strikes if you come out there on defense and go right up to the ump and argue.
100% agree with every point you've made here. Sums up the whole video, and my points.
And all 3 went home and continued to beef about it and all their wives ejected them from their respective homes!! 🤣

Yep he did swing and I'm also a Rangers fan. The ump got in his feels and made the game about him, though.
as someone who used to be a little league ump, I'd call that a swing all day long.
Emphasis on used cause I'm sure some parents are gonna be insistent it was a ball and say theyll meet you in the parking lot after the game.
@@DocSpengler yeah, but I was also told my numerous parents and coaches that I was the best ump in the league. I think they liked my massive strike zone because it kept the game moving and people swinging.

It's a rare occasion this year but I actually agree with the ump
I have him in my fantasy team but that was a swing. Jimmy, you know your cricket now bro (congrats you legend) and that was a beautiful straight drive for FOUR......
Thank you for this you guys never miss ❤
How is that not a swing? The bat was in the path of the ball, it passed vertical, and if it had hit the ball he would have followed through. Maybe it's a baseball thing where it seems the game thrives on technicalities but that is 100% a swing.
Nope, he was stopping his swing and was not offering at the baseball, it’s called a “check swing” in which the batter sees the late break and decides not to offer at the pitch, he then “checks” his swing….sometimes it more sometimes less than this example but it’s a judgement call by the ump, to be completely honest, in real-time it didn’t even look close, that’s a check swing. No strike……
@@kerrytodd3753 He did try to pull it back but he had way too much momentum in that swing. The bat swung across the entire home plate.
@@kerrytodd3753thos wasn't a check swing. Your argument is invalid. It was a swing which he bailed on halfway through. It was a swing
@@Lilitha11 0:50 did you even watch this? Clearly didn't swing across the entire plate.
i would say, where was the ball when he started to yank back. from HIS intention he knew he wasn't completing the swing, but his bat just keeps going. kinda his fault, but i understand why the PLAYER thought he was fine
Even in slo-mo it's real close but I think he went ever so slightly.
From the overhead view you can see the barrel of the bay break the plane of home plate that’s a pretty good reference he committed to the swing.
Thank you for making Baseball entertaining. You achieve mission impossible!
The call on the swing is fine but that one outside was nowhere near a strike it should have been a walk anyway
Dang, 3 ejections on a call that was more than likely the correct call. Don't see that every day!
The way he held his body up usually gets the batter the call, but the bat was definitely in 50/50 territory. I think with a more veteran umpire at first base, Semien gets the call. Crazy how the pitching coach got involved and ejected.
I always think of a swing as the barrel breaking the direct vertical line of the hands to the ground. To me it’s the best visual differentiation between a check swing and a swing. If you watch closely, the wrists bend and the barrel does pass the hands very slightly. With a more lenient ump, it’s definitely a swing you could get away with, but it’s also correct to call it.
It doesn’t matter how calm you are when you bring it up. If you tell an Ump that you disagree with the call, he’s gonna have a reason to eject you. Although the coaches… I don’t know why they needed to go
Other guy said it but basically pitching coach said "you fucked up" and thus made it personal. Coach went out and just kept going at it so he got ejected for time
I always get a good chuckle from the comments. Usually more entertaining than the video. Jomboy, you've got a Crack audience.
Leaving your position to argue balls and strikes is an automatic ejection. A manager can chirp a bit from the dugout but as soon as he comes out to pick an argument it's the end of his night. A pitching coach, on the other hand, belongs in the dugout or at a mound visit and has no leeway to argue calls.
Weird to get so upset about a 50/50 call when there are still 2 innings left in a 1-run game.
They were upset at the umps for making bad calls all series. This crew is one of the worst in the game.
Yes the umpiring was some of the worst I’ve seen in 30 years of watching baseball. These were also tough games that were close.
They blew that earlier call. Should have been a four pitch walk.
@@LinkRocksthe Rangers were benefiting more from those bad strike calls all series
@@mouseinthehouse_your funny did you even watch lol.
Reminds me of that scene in Forget Paris when Billy Crystal throws out Kareem Abdul Jabaar during his farewell game
Pretty quick ejections, especially to Semien
"Third-party fan" here I think he swung!
No dog in this fight. And yeah, I'd call that a swing. It was close, but the bat went.

It was close enough that it could've gone either way. Not a worthy hill to die on.
I’m not really a baseball fan, I just watch the breakdowns and it’s INSANE to me that people could call that “not a swing”
100% this. Check swings in MLB are so forgiving. So many are so far over the plate it could as well be an accidental bunt if the ball lucks into hitting their errant swing, but of course it doesn't because it's totally obviously a bad swing. In this case you can see he's absolutely swinging through the plate at the same time the ball passes his bat. Timing was perfect, he 100% miss-read the pitch location and then tried to pretend like he didn't, and that should be the definition of a strike. Which is to say, 100% good call by this Ump, and also good job Ump tossing 3 people for arguing it when it's really not even up for debate.
The thing is it is always up to the umpires discretion on what is what, even if the rule book defines it. There should be a better review system because this is a situation where the home plate ump didn’t call it, happens too often where the umps aren’t in unison and the home ump isn’t 100% on it. Also there is no explanation for what the ump defines as a swing or a check. Pretty much hinged the entire game in that moment on one guy noticing a bat ‘not being square to the body when swinging’. No wonder the Rangers got mad.
@@jakestine4753 This ignores the fact that Semien got a strike called against him that was 2 inches off the plate earlier in the at-bat. Siemen should have already been on first because of that.
@@jackstar799to me, if the barrel of the bat drops into the strike zone, it’s a strike. You tried. It was a swing. I don’t care if you didn’t fully commit.
"Maybe it's a little closer than we thought." 🤣
I was waiting on this. I heard the ejection go down over the radio and thought...."maaaaaaan, I hope Jomboy reviews this"
That's a swing, but it was kind of "Billy Crystal" throwing everybody out.
Finally, I get to see a breakdown of an umpire call and ejection where I actually am on the side of the umpire. It was a judgment call that (in my opinion), he got the call correct. The player ejection was warranted after the umpire already warned him when he chirped from the dugout. If you want to continue the discussion after the fact, then you can sit out the rest of the game. The ejection of the two coaches was a little quick, but they kind of ask for it by being animated and shouting at him.
haha, yeah first time ever I think im 100% with blue. They all deserved to get tossed. haha, I love Semien trying to act like just cuz he's talking calmly hes not being a giant condescending asshole and talking shit
Pitching coaches are there to coach pitchers. Any coach who thinks he can pretend to be the manager and argue with the umpire is going to get a pretty quick ejection.
@@babababadyep. a coach is to be seen, not heard. They chirp, they’re gone.
"my heads twice the size of yours" i lost it🤣🤣🤣
Bochy should have ran out there with the still frame on the Ipad to show the ump 😂😂😂
Coming from a basketball official's perspective, how hard is it to walk over and ask the ump "What did you see on that?" That way you are making him commit to an answer. You can still disagree with the explanation, but you have something to use as a basis for why you disagree. If a player just starts telling any official they're wrong, well, that's not going to go so well, and considering MLB umps are already trigger-happy just makes it that much worse. Next, we wait for the Forget Paris comparisons :~)
100% close enough to go either way. I can’t believe after watching the replay he’d still go out there and insist the umpire “dial it in”. How about you don’t chase balls below the zone. YOU dial it in 😂
I havent watched a baseball game since my dad made me watch Cardinal's games as a child. That was so totally a swing.
These breakdowns are the best.
I'm a neutral fan. Looks like an attempt to hit the ball to me. I have no problem with the strike call. And - you simply can't argue balls and strikes - you will get ejected. It doesn't matter how calm you are or how polite you are. If you argue balls and strikes you will get ejected.
Very well said, the ump was right on for once
I agree that he swung but it was close enough that he has a right to discuss it with the umpire. To me once he walks off the field he’s showing that he disagrees but accepts the call. Plus the 2 coaches barely said 2 words, neither of them really lost their heads and they also got the hook. Just a bad look.
Exactly
@@Spirit0502 No, he doesn't have the right to "discuss" with the umpires about it because it's against the rules. You can not argue balls and strikes because you will be ejected.
@@mepp7573 he wasn't arguing balls and strikes. it's a judgement call. it's a judgement call. he has every right to discuss it.

"One fell swoop"
Was towards the end of the game...
@@protexroofing5939it was still the 7th inning at the point of the call, it's not it was the last call of the game. If you can't lock in and keep your cool in a relatively meaningless mid June game, then get out
Doesn't normally happen but I'm on the umps side on the strike call and the 3 ejections in this one.
Watched this late night on the east coast and even the Angels broadcast was calling check
Call was super close, honestly a 50/50 call. All three ejections are fair and warranted. - Semien continued arguing after being warned to stop. No matter how calm he was when arguing, if you argue after the warning you're done. - Pitching coach left the dugout to argue and immediately made it personal ("you fucked up"). The fact that it's not the manager arguing means it's not gonna take much for the ump to eject anyway. - Bochy gets a bit of a longer leash as the manager, but eventually the ump has to move the game along and honestly Bochy is looking to get ejected there.
First strike was a ball, swing was a strike. Even as a rangers fan that’s a swing because I define it as going beyond the angle of the front of the plate. But the ejection is dumb even if they were chirping all inning like people are claiming, even though it was a short “all inning”.
Great call tbh
That shot of the ref at 2:45 lmao dude is 10% torso, looking like a geek during the seat geek ad, very fitting
Must've been some nice refreshments waiting for em in the locker room... 😂
If you’re a rangers fan, he didn’t swing. If you’re a fan of any of the other 29 teams, he swung.
Nah I’m a Rangers fan and he swung. I’m more upset about the slider called a strike at 0:09
Rangers fan too. Shouldn’t have barked. That slider call…..
basically this. It's not a 50/50 call like Jomboy is implying
@@generallukeproductions IDK, when it was passing the plate, it was pretty close to being over it.
He did swing. The movement of the wrist is what gave it away.
Hard to call a judgement call a bad call unless it's blatant. This isn't the case here. However, the ejection seemed excessive. Of course we don't know the full backstory, Semien could've been giving it to him from the dugout.
Jomboy doing a Ranger breakdown!? Hell must’ve frozen over.
I have been waiting for this.
Love Jomboy breakdowns 🙌🏽
I would still like to know what Harper said when he wanted to fight the whole Rockies team about a month ago!
I was waiting on you to get this one.
Neutral fan (Tigers), that looks like a swing to me.
I've always thought if the bat crosses through the homeplate entirely it's a swing. He held it back just barely
I feel as though if the bat goes over any part of the plate it’s a swing. I don’t think it has to cross the entire plate.
That's a strike
I was watching this game and when they came back from commercial I was so confused
ARE THEY DOING A SHIFT, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PLAYERS MISSING?!?? WHATS GOING ON
Because the weather warning kept Interrupting the broadcast I was so confused!😂
Have you ever done a breakdown of the AJ Pierzinski-Michael Barrett fight from 06?
"my head's twice the size of your head" 😂
Even though I'm a big fan of Semien this was just such a dumb thing to do. If the game is on the line don't swing at 85 in the dirt, he's not prime Chapman after all. Quite possible he would also had another AB especially if the rangers tie it. Just so dumb to get ejected like that.
Semien is miles better then Matt Chapman
It’s hard to tell if you’re joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that the OP was referring to the pitcher not being a prime Arnoldo’s Chapman. He wasn’t comparing Marcus Semien to Matt Chapman. That would be a really odd and random comparison
@@mattg6390, oh my bad. It was a little confusing with the way he worded it
i'm generally in the "he went" camp. i think a lot of times batters take a hack, present the barrel, yank it back, and expect it to be called a ball because they didn't completely cross the plate or some bullshit. this one is no different to me. if he had been on target he would have made contact. he went. then threw a tantrum and got a punishment. im ok with all of this
I fully agree with you on this one. It was more than close enough that it shouldn't have been argued. Enough is enough the ump gave him 2 warnings, I don't care if he brought him a gift basket, the guy made his call, get over it.
The umps were terrible all game thats just when it came to a head.
Only problem with this assessment is he didn't throw a tantrum. He calmly talked to him. I think it's better to say the ump threw a tantrum by overreacting and defensively throwing the guy out just when he wanted to talk to him about the call further
Show me the time stamp in the video of when he “threw a tantrum”
I wouldnt even say he threw a tantrum, he was complaining to himself about the ump. Ump happened to hear it, then went back out to chat about it more and ump felt that, mixed with him hearing the complaints, felt like it was grounds for ejection. I'd just file it under a calm ejection from the player
ump should have fired back, "you want me to lock in, you lock in, what are you swinging at?"
"You have to lock in with the game on the line". "For sure. Like not swinging at pitches below the zone".
As a casual baseball watcher who knows only bare bones baseball. That’s a swing. Don’t do all that if you know calls are subjective.
I don't have a dog in this fight. That is a swing, a strike, and an out. They have the benefit of replay and are still gaslighting an official. If they don't admit they fucked up, I'd keep that in my memory bank if I were the official.
I think almost all "checked swings" these days are strikes. The rule is if you strike at the ball and miss. You're doing that if you break your wrists or the bat goes over any part of the base, in my opinion. Let's go old school with the rule.
As much as people shit on the umpires, baseball needs this. Keeps it entertaining.
Pls make a video for the tcu vs oral Roberts game. So confused how the tcu runner at third was called out in the 6th inning and would love to know what the coaches/umpires were saying
The Angels have had a plethora of game deciding calls go against them, all season long. I think it's only fitting they finally get a call go their way here.
That first strikeout was definitely a swing, bat nearly hits the floor
I don't watch any baseball and have learned anything I do know from this channel. Looked like a swing to me
My devo finally made it big! He's part of a jomboy video!
I support these ejections
Sometimes I wish I could eject people like this in my daily life who are talking to me.
I always thought it was about crossing the front of the plate.. oops, you learn something new every day in this sport!
“That’s the way baseball go.” - Ron Washington
I thought the rule was if the bat crossed the front of home plate it’s a swing, so in this case it’s not a swing. Is that not the rule?
It was an incredibly close call, I'm not sure it was as obvious as Semien was proclaiming.
The best 3 minutes of the day
@jomboy are you going to do the benches clearing incident between the phillies and diamondbacks whwre they hit corbin twice and the dbacks got mad bc they felt it was intentional?
Texas have been such a surprise this year, really hoping they make the playoffs *Edit: Thanks to @John Carpenter for correction on the ranges.

0:09 Ok that call was atrocious. The swing was 50/50 but you can’t be calling sliders 2-3 balls outside a strike
This is like the Naked Gun. "Alright I've had enough, you're outta here. -----You can't throw an ump out of the game-------ALRIGHT, YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!"
It appears head of bat crossed the fielders side of plate which in my opinion is a strike. I never seen anyone ask for first base umps opinion which I thought was customary.
