@SoxNationNC@tylermilliken_ He knew he screwed up but knows the league will protect him.
Umps are living on borrowed time until they get replaced by AI.
@BobbyDlight14@CandlepinBowlin@tylermilliken_ Ridiculous to think someone looking away from you making no gesture or obscene movement means this rule applies.
You may as well accuse him of driving a forklift onto the field.
@ZacGBugsVoice@JohnBick1960@tylermilliken_ That's a blatant misinterpretation of the rule. Doing the equivalent of shaking your head walking back to the dugout is not that same as "disputing" a call.
Shows that umpire cares more about petty appearances than people dying in Venezuela.
@KarterKudrna33@tylermilliken_@MLB He handled it poorly. He should have done absolutely nothing. Contreras was doing the equivalent of shaking his head in disbelief.
Bad look for Lentz, and bad look for MLB.
@GMagz_420 That would really be an improvement. He gets fired from MLB and goes into an organization where he has at least a 0.1% chance of being useful.
@jpmel2@timbhealey@PeteAbe Tapping your helmet in frustration? You also believe in getting fined for having a frown on your face?
No wonder baseball is dying. Umpires should be scared to keep their jobs. I guess they like being replaced with robots.
@SmittyOnMLB Lentz was just making up his own excuse to be offended and exercise his power. Just like he did in 2025. And the league stands by him.
No wonder people are watching the Savannah Bananas instead of MLB.
@EasterbrookG Congress "acted" by voting to decline to interfere.
Electing to waive their right--which is a common practice big organizations pressure on society nowadays.
Congress taking less and less responsibility is a far bigger worry than anything Donald John Trump has done thus far.
@KenFrmDaB@Linklevosstwins@NATERERUN She had to say it when the door closed; otherwise, the violent feral creatures would have torn her limb from limb.
@SheriCarter18@AGJamesUthmeier@FLSurgeonGen And then they'll inevitably get overturned by a higher court. Tying up valuable resources.
It's just a performative waste of time.
@CelticPride0@DLoesch While you might be referring to Rick Scott's questionable business practices as head of Columbia/HCA, he hasn't ever been accused of a scandal while as a public official. Especially stealing from FEMA, like this Dem.
