I was wondering why umpires have to be so strict on ejecting players out of the game?

Question

I was watching the Minnesota Twins on Friday night and Pluto and Gardenhire got ejected out of the game. Why did pluto get ejected out the game?

Answer 1

Well, unless you have access to the ejection report, we'll probably never know. But there are a few things that will automatically get a player or coach ejected:
1) Arguing balls and strikes. This is in the rule book...automatic ejection
2) When someone gets "personal". It's one thing to hear a few grumbles from the dugout when a pitch that looks at the knees gets called a ball, but when you hear something with the word "YOU" in it (i.e. you suck, you're pathetic, you couldn't call...), boom, they're gone.

Each umpire has his breaking point, where they've either heard enough nonsense out of the dugout OR feel like things are escalating to something worse and they need to take control of it. In either of those cases, someone is going to the parking lot if things don't settle down.

Answer 2

Because of the player's bad behavior. Most umpires eject too slow, not too fast. There has to be order in the game.

Answer 3

As a college-level basketball official, I can say that there are 'magic words' that will cause automatic ejection. I suspect that the same holds true for baseball.

In addition, MLB rules indicate that arguing balls and strikes is grounds for ejection.

Answer 4

Because pluto probably cussed him out. Umps take a lot of abusive language before they eject someone.

Answer 5

gamers play the game of baseball with a fondness, rain or shine. destructive circumstances won't halt them from competing at their optimum point. do no longer ignore the dedicated followers that went contained in direction of the concern of having tickets for the game and arriving on the ballpark effectively.

Answer 6

Rules are rules, without them there would be kaos. Another reason may be that a player was mouthing off to the ump unbeknownst to you, we don't always see and hear exactly what's going on down on the field, and the ump has had enough.

Answer 7

cause their being bad
