I think this was outside, but it’s hard to tell from this angle

Yeah don't show your *** on a called strike before that if you don't want to have the ump ring you up for showing your ***.
Definitely outside and low. Definitely a 17 you called three 3.
Oh, 100%. I don't agree with it, but umps are human too. He should've tossed the batter or warned him, but I understand the reaction.
I can't believe what I just saw. There's no excuse for an ump behaving in that fashion. That young man was denied a fair AB. Those atletetes have dreams of making it to the next level though most won't but they still need to be treated fairly.

17 That. That Ump should never call another game in organized baseball ever again. The first pitch was clearly, clearly, clearly a ball The second pitch was 12-14" off the outside of the plate and low. The Umpire showed his ***, not the batter. Holy 17n ****, I believe I would have gotten tossed from both that game and rest of the series over that call.
He could have clearly tossed the batter for his reaction to the previous pitch, but it is his job to know he 17ed up the first call and try his best to get the next one correct. The ump went full snowflake mode and ended up looking like one of the biggest pricks I have ever seen.
The batter had every right to make what little scene he did after that first blown ball call.
I actually LOLed I'll have to do is throw it in the air for the catcher somewhere and it was going to be a strike
That was egregiously bad. The ump needs to do some genuine reflection before calling another game.
But the ump probably did the Valley player a favor.
If he tossed him for showing out on the previous pitch, the Valley player would have been suspended the next game, right?

If you want to toss the batter for his over the top reaction, go ahead. But you don’t decide to screw him by calling the next pitch strike three no matter where it is. That’s just extremely petty.
I ain’t saying it’s right, but I’m kind of on team umpire
The 1st pitch was definitely low and I didn't see the batter get into the ump's face about it. He did something maybe I woulda done under the circumstances. This ump needs to lose his job.
Player showed his ***, but it looked like the prior strike was a pretty bad call too. You can’t screw him like that for calling you out for a bad call.
He shouldn’t have acted a fool but the umpire sucks worse.
Victimhood at its best. Player shows arse for a bad call and then ump shows arse for being showed up. Death of masculinity in full effect.
Not right at all, the ump should have been the bigger person in that situation. That ump should be suspended.
It is literally covered in the rulebook.
If a player argues or does something reasonably deemed unsportsmanlike, the ump calls time & issues a warning. If the player keeps going, he is tossed.
Drummer had a few chances to issue a warning and stop that nonsense. It’s unbelievable to me how terribly he handled that.
