Fernando Tatis Jr. tells the umpires they're a joke, a breakdown

This game had two ejections and the craziest game-tying home run you'll ever see. It's brought to you by Amazon. It starts in the top of the seventh inning where Tatis is going to bunt for a base hit. He's flying down the line. The throw goes astray. He's off to second base and now the bunt single turns into a runner in scoring position. They're going to pad their lead. They get the ball to the infield and they say, no, actually, he's out. He cheated and ran in the run. What? What are you talking about? He can't believe it. Now the manager is going to come out. The umpire is going to tell him right away. He says he was running on the grass the whole time. He says, yeah, but he's running on the grass the entire time. I got to make that call. And he says, come on. He's not even throwing it at that point. He's running on the grass the whole time. You got to have better feel than that though. It didn't affect the play whatsoever. I disagree. You got to have better, no, come on now. That throw is going up the line no matter what. I don't think, I don't think it was in there. You know that. Stop. No, I don't. He's fielding the ball. His back is to it. He's back in the dirt. Okay. I'm not going to call that. You got to be kidding me. You got to have better feel. That had no effect on the play whatsoever. That's not what that rule is for. Stamman got ejected right away. Tatis throws his helmet. I'm guessing they gave him an equipment violation off screen. He's like, that's bullshit. That's bullshit. They're trying to walk him off the field. He slams his glove down. He picks it up. Now the behind him is looking around like, did we give him an equipment violation already? I think he gets the confirmation from his buddy that they did. Then he sees him throw the shin pad and he's like, all right, dog, you're out. So right there, he ejects him. You can see the hand behind Merrill's back. He gets ejected. And now Tatis, he's upset. He says, uh, you guys are a ******* joke. You guys are a ******* joke. That's what you guys are. It's a ******* joke. I'm not, I'm not even looking at you. You can't be just throwing up my equipment everywhere. What do you want me to do? What do you mean? No. What do you mean? I gave you a violation after you threw your helmet. I'm not even looking at you. Um, says fine. I'm not going to look at you. Turns around, walks away. We're done looking at each other. So I think what's happening is Tatis is saying, you got to give me a warning first before ejecting me. He's like, we did give you the equipment violation after you threw your helmet. Then you threw your glove. Then you threw your pad. And Tatis is saying, I didn't know I had the warning because I wasn't looking at you, which is a good way to not know you had a warning. I didn't see it. I was not looking at you. I don't know if that's the ump's fault. Maybe it is. So let's take a look at the overhead. Now I've done this play a lot because it used to be a much bigger problem. They changed the rule. It used to be that the runner had to be to the right side of the foul pole in that lane you see chalked out as he ran down the first base, especially as the play was being made and they were throwing it to the first baseman. They updated the rule because it was such a problem that the runner is now allowed on the dirt. He can get up to the fringe of the grass so he can be to the left of the white line, but he cannot be on the grass, especially he cannot be in the way of the first baseman fielding the throw. And if you look right there, is that play easier if Tatis isn't there? Probably. And if you give the umps the ability to call this nine out of 10 times, they call this. Sometimes they don't. We've seen Davey Martinez get very upset when they didn't call it, but most times they do. And you can see every step of the way Tatis is in the grass, like the umpire said the whole way up the line, he's in the grass. Well, did Tatis getting ejected affect the game? Yes, because in the top of the ninth inning, the Rays are looking to keep the lead right where they're at so they can make a comeback with Tatis' spot on deck and it no longer being Tatis. They intentionally walk song on the Padres and put two on base and say, we will take our chances with Bowen. He's the guy that is replacing Tatis. So this would have been Tatis' spot. They would have pitched to the other guy. It affected the game. And now with two outs, they attack this guy. They get ball one, strike one, ball two, strike two, ball three, ball four. No, we're going to tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, and strike three, inning over. Tatis isn't guaranteed to score there, but it did affect the strategy of the game, made the Rays navigate that ninth inning a little easier, which then set up this at bat. Two outs, runner on, bottom of the ninth inning. The Rays are down two. They kept him there and we open up with a slider. And look how he takes that pitch. He was expecting a fastball and he's just like, look at that head. Oh, OK. Oh, scary. If I'm Mason Miller in the Padres, I say, let's throw that again. He was terrified of it. They throw it again. He's not terrified of it. This time he switches approach. He sends it into left field. Is it going to be? Oh, game's over. Great, great running catch by a left fielder. The game has concluded. Goodbye. No, he ran into the wall, dropped it over the wall for a home run, a game tying home run, a home run. Mason Miller's like that ball didn't travel. Oh, I didn't travel enough to be a home run. You assisted it. You basically grabbed it through out of the wall. I said, screw you, Mason. He's upset. Game's over. No, I hit a home run. Hey, guys, look what I did. You see what I did all on my own without any help. I put that ball over the fence. Celebrate me. This guy says celebrate me. I picked up the ball. Yeah. Look who picked up this ball. It was me. Woo. Yeah. Everybody, it's me who got the ball. Celebrate me. Everybody's like, okay. Guy on the left gives him a little air five. Bottom left. Okay, dude. Good job getting that ball. Raised fan in the back screaming at him. Woo. We are celebrating you, Mr. White Pants. And look at this couple. The woman is like, I told you. He's like, oh. You tell me everything constantly. Left fielder's trying not to think about it. Can't shake it. What happened? Oh, I had it in my glove. Stopped thinking about it. Oh, no. And then I threw it over the wall. Oh, my God. All right. Shake it. It's still extras. We can still win this game. No, they can't win the game because the Ray's so good. What? He's so good.
