Pro baseball hitting coach after 9 years as a college manager. All umpires should be held accountable. Anonymous account. Blocked by @CloseCallSports.

Proposed umpire demerit system.
1 demerit: Bad call that results in an ejection (Possible upgrade to 2 demerits if there are 5+ bad calls leading up to it)
2 demerits: Bad call that changes a game result (ie. batter hits a grand slam after taking what should have been strike 3)

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Of all the umpires I've argued with Dale Scott about, Doug Eddings has been one of my most frequently brought up and also one of Mr. Scott's most heavily defended. I see you lurking Dale!

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

MLB: "He did the thing we told him to do after he did the bad thing, so the bad thing no longer exists. Say hi to our best friend Doug when you see him working the plate in Game 7 of the World Series! Isn't he the cutest?"

[STL "Rebuilding" ⚾ Fan | Creator of Wether⚡️ Meme @STLfan006457]

"When asked about the interaction between Eddings and Rincon, an MLB spokesperson said the 'gesture by Doug on the field speaks for itself.'"

Welp...good luck on wanting punishments for Doug. MLB's protection of their umpires strikes again!

No.m, he NEEDS to be in trouble

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

He still power-tripped, he still lied about it and tried to pass the buck, and he still absolutely blew that call at the plate on purpose. Doug Eddings, you are not Jim Joyce.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

So the Rosenthal article clarifies that NO Rockies batter spoke to Eddings about the hat, and that MLB did tell him he went too far. So yeah, he apologized because he was told to, not because he was sorry.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Now does any of this mean that I think Doug Eddings is a good umpire now? Hell to the motherfucking no. If he gets a playoff assignment I'm flipping shit.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Credit where credit is due. Apparently Eddings did not mention Goodman by name, he just said "the batter" and the reporter guessed which batter he was talking about. So perhaps he didn't lie about Goodman specifically--although I would like to hear from the correct batter.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

So while it's something, I don't put it on the level of the Jim Joyce apology, which was genuine. An official statement to the press saying he was wrong would have gone a lot harder in my book. It's not everything it could have been, but it wasn't nothing.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Secondly, he apologized to Rincon, and I have been very vocal about how umpires apologizing should happen 1000 times more often than it does, so that's something. However I would like to know WHY he apologized, whether he's truly sorry or whether MLB gave him a push.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

It's not confusing. Umpires refuse to respect him because he came from college.

[SF Giants on NBCS @NBCSGiants]

Tony Vitello was ejected for the third time in 10 days.

And yet again, the reasoning behind his ejection was rather confusing, to say the least 😵‍💫

Doug Eddings is getting disrespected in broad daylight and he deserves every ounce of it.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

Cardinals players and staff are rocking tilted caps in the dugout tonight.

Some Rockies players are doing it too according to the broadcast

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

So Doug Eddings lied. No one should be surprised.

[Derrick Goold @dgoold]

Hunter Goodman tells Denver reporters directly, succinctly he did not bring up the hat tilt. He was clear and direct on this.

This story will be updated with that correction from Goodman and more clarification will be forthcoming … https://t.co/QkDrfPO00p

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Doug Eddings is a corrupt shitstain.

[Foul Territory @FoulTerritoryTV]

Home plate umpire Doug Eddings called time to tell Hancel Rincon to fix his hat.

Oli Marmol was later ejected after sticking up for Rincon, who was making his MLB debut.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

This is incompetence and arrogance. The call was dogshit, the pitch was challenged on time, look at the batter, do your job, and stop abusing your responsibility because you want to be Jomboy famous, you insignificant earwig.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

Padres manager Craig Stammen got ejected after disagreeing with the umpires twice during one Xander Bogaerts at bat

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Not in the least deserving of the recognition but at least it's a meaningless game.

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

Kudos to MLB for making Philadelphia native Alan Porter the crew chief and behind home plate for the All-Star Game.
He'll be joined by Chris Conroy, Chad Whitson, Ryan Additon, Adam Beck and Edwin Moscoso.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Alan Porter the ejection hunter hunts another ejection. Inserting himself into a situation that wasn't his to pad his stats like the selfish prick he is. Go brag to your family on the phone about something that isn't an accomplishment, you untalented and self-important douche.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

A couple words and a gesture got Kyle Schwarber ejected immediately

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Congratulations, I will miss exactly none of you.

[Umpire Auditor @UmpireAuditor]

But Vic Carapazza, I thought Cavalli didn't do anything to get ejected, you stupid fucking twat! Instead it's "Duh I'm gonna eject the manager who's pointing out my mistake, me so smart!" Good to see MLB umpires have absolutely no idea what's going on, as usual.

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

Willson Contreras and Cade Cavalli have each been suspended seven games for the benches-clearing incident on Tuesday

Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas also received a five-game suspension and Red Sox outfielder Nate Eaton got three games

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

This is the same bitch that ejected Taylor Walls last year when he ADJUSTED his helmet. Nic Lentz has absolutely no business being allowed on a major league field. Just a soft piece of shit.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

"How soft are we getting? That's embarrassing to the game."

Red Sox broadcasters unload on the umpire after he ejects Willson Contreras for tapping his helmet

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

This should be the last thing he ever does on a baseball field, and if it was any other job on the planet, it would be.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

Umpire rules no swing on a pitch that drills Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

[Coach Orville @CoachOrville]

Well who knew that the umpires were wrong on this one--even after none other than blind umpire defender Dale Scott... blindly defended them. I definitely didn't see this coming.
