Umpire makes a perfect call and ejects the manager for arguing, a breakdown

If you wanna see a man wearing blue turn red, stay tuned. This breakdown's brought to you by SeatGeek and we've got a fiery lip-reading full ejection. Gossman walks the first batter in the fifth inning. So now a runner's on first, now he has to change his delivery as a pitcher and there's new rules so you don't deceive the runner. You can't go from the windup, you have to go from the set, which means basically he has to start sideways if you're new to baseball and he can't do anything deceptive. So here is Gossman coming to a set position and the first pitch of the next at bat, he gets ready, he throws it, umpires, and a balk! That's a balk, you balked, runner, you go to second! I protected you from the deception of this pitcher. Manager of the Blue Jays, John Schneider, comes out and he's like, whoa, hey, Dan! He didn't stop, he does it every time. Not that time, he does it every time. Not that he doesn't, he did stop. He has to come to a complete stop. He does it every single time. No, he doesn't, I would've called it before. Yes, he does. And all of your ******* partners saw nothing? Well, no, but I'm looking at it and I called it. They should be ******* looking at him, too. Don't tell us what to do, John. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. But the guy's been in the ******* league for 10 years, does it every time. Okay, well, he didn't stop that time. He ******* stopped that time. That's enough. All right, yeah. And you saw it and they ******* didn't. Boom, ejected, gone. Yeah, ************, yeah! You really ******* threw that ---- in the game? You really threw that ---- in the game? You think you ******* know better than your ******* partners? That's bullshit. It's not fair to do that and you know that. You're making ---- up, ************. You're making ---- up is what you're doing and that's what the **** you're doing. You are making ---- up. All right, John. Your ******* crew chief doesn't see ----. They don't see ----. Well, why does that matter? I'm just doing my job. Motherfucker, you made that ---- up. It's bullshit. All right. It's ******* bullshit. All right, now you're touching me. Don't do that. I'm not touching you. I'm not ******* touching you. Yeah, you just hit me in the head. I didn't ******* touch you, Dan. It wasn't on purpose. You need to go now. I didn't ******* touch you. You need to go now. I don't need to do ---- right now. You need to ******* call the game. Walks off. Spits right in the face. Umpire kind of smug in the face, feeling good about himself. John Schneider has to leave. He's got to walk through the dugout, down some more steps, into the clubhouse and he's got to check the footage and make sure, was I correct? Was I not correct? Well, let's see. Now, this is what we're looking at his feet. See that rocking motion? One, two, three. He rocks three times. The stops on those rocks are what we're paying attention to. One, two, three, and then he pitches. Now, that third one has to be a longer stop than the first two. The runner has to know he's about to throw the pitch. He has to come to a complete stop. It can't be the same time as the first two and it can't be shorter than the first two. That's one thing we're looking at. That final pause has to be a complete stop and has to be longer than the first two. I've read, so I watched when I was reading up on this a second ago. So, what I've done is I have taken the first time his heel touches, the second time and the third, I've separated them and let's take a look at it. And look at that. It's not only not longer, it's not even the same. It's way shorter. So, the third time he comes to a stopping motion, which is supposed to be the longest, you have to come to a complete stop, he actually, it's a shorter pause than the first two in that same delivery. So, that's not a good sign for like, is this a balk, did the umpire get it correct? That's deceptive. Now, we took a look at all the other times a runner was on base and he did this motion. This one, center frame, is the one that got called a balk. All of these did not get called balks. Let's see if they're the same. Does he do it every time, like John Schneider said? Or was the umpire right? Not that time. Let's take a look. And how about that? Eagle eyes umpire Dan. That foot does not pause as long as all of his other deliveries. It does come up earlier. That's wild that he saw that. Now, we did find one other delivery that was the same pause. So, one other time, he went quicker and it was the same. But an umpire might see it the first time and kind of use what the kids say now. Clock it and be like, now I'm gonna watch for it. I think that was that, but I'm not positive. And now I'm gonna make sure that I watch it closer moving forward. The one in green is the one that is quick but didn't get called. The one in red is the one that got called. And you see both of them are faster than the rest. There's also another big difference. And for those that don't know a lot about baseball, we've got a slide step versus the full delivery and leg kick. And that also highlights this a lot. So, now we've synced this up from when the foot comes up after the final pause, when the foot raises. And you can see the difference between a slide step and a full leg kick. And that also just makes this stand out. You see the one that got called a balk, he does a slide step. All the others, the knee comes up. So, that is a legal way to deceive the runner. You can do a slide step as long as the stop is a complete stop and similar to all your other motions. But I do think it also helped highlight to the umpire that that was a different motion and it felt quicker and it didn't feel like as much of a stop as the rocking motion earlier. So, for all those reasons, I'm going to call a balk and then you fight me, I tell you enough, you don't, and then you get ejected. And then we get an immediate hat throw and yeah, mother father, yeah! Which is just crazy. Now, another thing we're gonna review is, was there contact? He says, you just touched me. Wasn't on purpose, let's see. I've got it zoomed in and I think right, oh yeah, right there, the nose scrapes the brim. See, right there, you see the umpire's eyes closed because his brim got scraped by Snyder's nose. And then, go a little forward, right there, we get a little push. The nose into the brim, right, oh yeah. Yep, not good. So, I stand with umpire Dan. It was a balk, there was contact. Great job doing your job. So, he said, I'm just doing my job. Now, did the balk affect the inning? The answer, yes, because the runner got to second, which is scoring position and the outfielder bobbled that ball, probably because he had more urgency to throw it in. He didn't and the run scores. That run doesn't score if he doesn't get moved over to second. So, it mattered. Now, you guys are all experts on balks. Take this knowledge to the stadium and let's help umpire Dan and the rest out. Buy a ticket, go to SeatGeek, use code JOHNBOY10, get 10% off, make sure it's a good value. They'll tell you if it's a good value for the location. They'll tell you on a scale of one to 10 what it's rated. And then, make sure you have a seat with a view of the pitcher's feet because you are all balk adjudicators now. You have been educated, you're welcome. Take this knowledge and make the world a better place.
