They blew up over a CORRECT call. Did Kulpa handle it as well as he could have? No. Were all of the ejections warranted? Absolutely.

Just for a little context, MLB does actually hold the umps accountable, but that comes into play at seasons end. The playoffs, conference championship and WS pays big bucks to umps if selected. It's based in a scoring system throughout the season and the best make the playoff crew

Unless there is incoming sniper fire, your focus as an Umpire needs to be on The Game. That first strike call wasn't that bad when you consider the break on it. The Jumbo Size Rabbit Ears were what made this ego-maniac special. This is my main argument for eliminating human umps and this is probably what will seal their fate. Computers don't show up for work pissed off or hung over.

Dutch Van Der Linde so after that pitch he heard at least 2-3 players barking at him not including the manger. As an umpire I can’t let that go I have to address it. Especially early in the game like this so we don’t have this all game. I’m not saying everything he did here was right but you can’t let a manager tell you how to do your job like that. I hear what you’re saying but there’s a big difference and huge gap between what umpires are supposed to do what how the public thinks they’re supposed to do their jobs. You should look at some of the umpiring training clips on here it’ll change the way you see umpires.

They need to throw a high fastball and have the catcher miss it on purpose and teach him a lesson. That's part of baseball, when another player hits a home run and shows up the pitcher, he gets drilled his next at bat. It's time the umpire's pay for stupidness.
