Have you seen the Minor League manager arguing the call to the umpire?

Question

He lost his mind and then took off the base in 30 seconds of argument. What do you think?

Answer 1

I just watched it a little bit ago, and have to admit that it is hilarious to watch. That said, however, his actions were an embarassment to himself, his team and the game of baseball. He's been suspended for a week as a result, something I find appropriate.

Answer 2

I just watched it this morning. The tirade was pathetic. I don't really understand the whole routine of throwing a base, throwing your cap, throwing bats onto the filed, etc. The point is made when you argue the call and get thrown out. All the other 'drama' is for show-and-tell. I will admit that he did demonstrate one aspect of creativity by blocking off the umpire dressing room with a pitching screen and water bottles. All in all, however, baseball needs to do away with such shenanigans.

Answer 3

Funny as hell

Minor league manager throws major league tantrum
Once the umpire called Roger Clemens' kid safe, a minor league manager threw a major league tantrum that would have made Lou Piniella, Earl Weaver and Tommy Lasorda proud. It also cost Asheville Tourists manager Joe Mikulik a seven-day suspension and $1,000 fine. Mikulik, who used to write "Never Surrender" on his wristbands when he played in the minors, put on a throwing, kicking and screaming...

Answer 4

I found it to be VERY funny, and VERY entertaining.
He only embarressed himself.
Also when he started throwing bats out
off the dugout, he could have hurt somebody.

Answer 5

that was the best part.
and when he spiked the water bottle.
