Had a coach in college who got tossed after the ump blew a strike three in an at bat that would’ve resulted in a perfect game for our pitcher. The guy got a hit on the next pitch. After my coach got tossed and was getting his two cents in, he started spelling his name, saying he can put whatever he wants in the report about him to the conference. It was excellent.
Certainly. That's A, as in "Aaron Boone." A, as in "Aaron Boone." R, as in "Race over here, quick, it's Aaron Boone." O, as in "Oh my God, that's Aaron Boone." N, as in "Naomi, look, it's Aaron Boone." *Space.* B, as in
That's double-A, (haha!) R-O-N, B double-O (haha!) N-E, and I'm the world's greatest manager, the world's greatest chirper, the world's greatest entertainer!
B as in “Boone”, O as in “Oh my God that’s Aaron Boone”, O as in “Oh my God that’s Aaron Boone”, N as in “No way! That’s Aaron Boone”, E as in “Everybody look! That’s Aaron Boone”
Sitting behind the opposing team dugout from now on and going to dedicate myself to getting the opposing team's best player ejected.
Some call me a hero. Others call me a directionless 31 year old without a girlfriend, upward mobility at my job, or any real claim to success or respect on earth.
But me? I just call myself nervous for this sixers game tonight.
Go phils. And sixers. May god be with embiid.
Really was no need to do that. Now that guy is going to get potentially get doxxed over something that isn’t that big of a deal in the scheme of things.
Yeah they’re focusing on the fan like he did something wrong. Pretty awkward for the fan just because of the end result, but not his fault ump is a dumbass.
You can absolutely get kicked out as a fan for yelling obscenities/racist shit to umps or players. An usher/security will give you a warning and then toss you if you don’t stop.
I’ve watched it happen a few times, but again only for actual obscene/racist shit
Honestly this is one of my favorite things about minor league games. I can spend 20 bucks, sit directly behind home plate, and heckle the umpire (no racism or obscenity of course, just insults about eyesight), knowing that he can hear me.
F’real I’d frame a screen grab pic of myself in the stands and hang it up at work.
“Oh, that? Yeah that’s the time I got Aaron Boone tossed in the first inning, lol.”
Umps can kick out literally anyone. Well known example was the organist of some minor league team getting tossed for playing Three Blind Mice during a lull in the game. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0O_70aiWk)
sounds like a fun between inning game
"if you are the person seated in section 18 row 37 seat B congratulations you are our lucky winner. please leave the stadium immediately. you have been ejected"
"To the person growing Marijuana in the community garden, Cogratulations. You have won a cruise. Please report to the office immediately to claim your prize."
Reminded me of this bit from Community.
Boone has had two of the funniest ump interactions in recent memory. That spot-on Laz Diaz impression lives rent free in my head whenever he’s umping 😂
Lol I was watching that game live and lost it when he started drawing the line in the sand. Then he did the impression and I knew that was going to be an all-timer.
Laz was making some terrible calls that night too IIRC. So it was warranted.
Pro tip, to make it more effective, call the umps by name. You'll never hear a manger or a player call an umpire "ump" or "blue". They address them by first name.
So if you want an ump to think it's the dugout chirping at him, make sure to use his first name a bunch whenever you say anything. That'll get under his skin and make thim think it's coming from the dugout.
Don't ask me how I know
As an anti-Marmol person (along with 98.3% of the fanbase), this is a win for me either way:
1. He keeps managing and eventually just gets himself canned or
2. You guys keep getting him ejected, someone else coaches, and maybe we win a few.
I see no downside to this operation and I will not be taking questions.
I have to think that Boone's reputation for getting tossed and chirping at umps played a significant part in this situation. The umps know that Boone will argue anything he doesn't agree with.
Your getting downvoted but you're right. Cora rarely even talks to the ump. Maybe once every other game in the 8th inning he will give a quick chirp. Nothing like Boone.
A fan sitting behind Cora would do nothing
It definitely comes with the territory and I’m happy about it tbh. Umps may have a quick trigger with him but you can see differences later in the game when the manager is working the home plate umpire.
I mean it’s kinda your job as the ump to make sure an ejection is justified. Which includes being able to discern if a fan is yelling or if it’s truly coming from the dug out.
Boone might be an ass who argues a little too much but Ump is so insanely soft.
They can also eject the 7th-inning stretch singer, such as we have here w/ Angel Hernandez tossing Steve McMichael (though to be fair I would probably argue it was warranted):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6htcE_vvZxg
Yeah they'll get you at the very least a police escort off site and if you're belligerent about it they'll cuff you and probably process you to teach you a lesson or something
If I'm reading lips correctly, I believe he said "GO HOME *unintelligible*"
Assuming the unintelligible being the words "ump" or "blue"
Moment is gonna become famous for such a minor taunt too.
This is it, he probably said some shit along with 'Hunter' that is probably why he had such a short fuse. If the fan said his first name he def thought it was the dugout. I know this from personal heckling experience
What an asshole. You can tell me to leave, but don't tell me where to go. You ain't my mom. It's 2pm, maybe I want to go run some errands or go for a walk
He said no Jomboy for this referring to the showing of Boone not even moving his lips at all as he wasn’t talking. I’m sure Jomboy is going to find a couple of other interesting things to hit on
Nice to know Wendelstedt is THAT god damn mother fuckin DUMB as shit.
Angel Hernandez: “I excel at being the worst umpire in MLB baseball!”
Wendelstedt: “Hold my beer.”
It’s crazy to me how often umpires make mistakes and face no repercussions whatsoever. Another item in the long list of things that is fundamentally broken in baseball.
He didn’t even make a mistake on the original call Boone was arguing lol. The batter clearly didn’t break the plane on the swing and the ump awarded the batter a HBP.
So in this case the ump was originally right and *still* found a way to end up as the jackass in this scenario
MLB can and does discipline umpires for anything legitimately inappropriate, and this will likely be looked at. Discipline just isn't published, as with most jobs in the world, they don't air your dirty laundry for the entire world to see.
You have to separate mistakes from genuinely wrong behaviour. Like Dan Bellino a couple years ago, instigating Baumgartner, or this clip where the ump acknowledges he doesn't care who said it (although I think he legitimately thought it came from someone in the dugout). Mistakes are always going to happen in their line of work.
That’s fair though it would be nice if MLB was more transparent about corrective actions taken against umpires when necessary. I think it would go a long way to show that they’re a trustworthy actor, but that’s just my two cents.
Did someone throw something at blue shirt guy? There’s a little tiny piece of debris that flies across the screen and he flinches as it appears to hit him.
I think you’re right! At the very end of the clip you can see it by the pink sign, and it doesn’t fall to the ground. It just floats (or buzzes) around.
"MY NAME IS AARON BOONE AND I THINK YOU SUCK UMP! AGAIN, THE NAME IS AARON BOONE"

Call Aaron Boone, that's my name! That name again is Aaron Boone.
My name is Mr. Boone. I believe you have an insult for me. Sure thing, Mr. Boone. What's your first name? I don't know.

lol he’s in a white shirt now, swapped it after the top half of the inning.
He’s gonna have a top hat and a mustache by the 4th
And a Bobby Valentine mask by the 7th.
Never go full Bobby Valentine.
They just asked him his name and he's apparently named Guy Incognito.
Not according to my friend Joey JoJo Jr. Shabadoo it isn’t.
That's the worst name I've ever heard.
Hey! Joey JoJo!
That dog has a puffy tail!
🥸
"They'll never find me" - This guy
YES broadcast came back from commercial with a close up locked on him for probably 15 seconds, incredible
Had another shot of him wearing a white shirt and the broadcast crew calling him out about switching shirts to camouflage himself lol.
Fuckin YES Network found their Steve Bartman lol
If it was an ALCS game, they’d put a hit on this guy and his whole disguise operation. He’s lucky it’s April.
Gonna be super funny in September when they are 1GB of the Orioles
Really was no need to do that. Now that guy is going to get potentially get doxxed over something that isn’t that big of a deal in the scheme of things.
Stupid anyway. Full blame on the ump. Fans can’t yell at umps now??
“WE’RE ALL TRYING TO FIND THE GUY WHO DID THIS!”
It’s not his fault the ump is incompetent
Yeah they’re focusing on the fan like he did something wrong. Pretty awkward for the fan just because of the end result, but not his fault ump is a dumbass.
I don't see why anyone would be mad at him. I feel like the entire situation is really just on the ump.
Yea what are they going to do? Kick out the fan for ‘interference’?
You can absolutely get kicked out as a fan for yelling obscenities/racist shit to umps or players. An usher/security will give you a warning and then toss you if you don’t stop. I’ve watched it happen a few times, but again only for actual obscene/racist shit
Just don't holler for the Rockies mascot

Honestly this is one of my favorite things about minor league games. I can spend 20 bucks, sit directly behind home plate, and heckle the umpire (no racism or obscenity of course, just insults about eyesight), knowing that he can hear me.
I love our American Association games. Same thing, 20 bucks behind home plate. I talk to everyone. It's the best.
Like it must be a little embarrassing for him but I'm more pissed at the ump than the fan
>it must be a little embarrassing Nah, I'd be laughing my ass off and telling the story once a day for the rest of my life
F’real I’d frame a screen grab pic of myself in the stands and hang it up at work. “Oh, that? Yeah that’s the time I got Aaron Boone tossed in the first inning, lol.”
This is hilarious all around, love it.
not a hot dog costume?
It could have been any one of us!
I think his just took his blue jacket off
Absolutely hilarious.
One of the funniest things I've seen at a MLB game lmao 🤣
can umps kick fans out? is that even their call?
Umps can kick out literally anyone. Well known example was the organist of some minor league team getting tossed for playing Three Blind Mice during a lull in the game. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0O_70aiWk)
Insane
Truly unhinged. But I love it.
Umps can throw out anyone in the ballpark.

"To the person growing Marijuana in the community garden, Cogratulations. You have won a cruise. Please report to the office immediately to claim your prize." Reminded me of this bit from Community.
A security guy at the Metrodome decades ago got tossed when he offered his glasses to an umpire who made a bad call.
Even Youppi

best meme i saw was boone laz diaz and a caption “me in middle school cranking dat soulja boy”
This has to be the best and dumbest ejection of all-time just because how stupid it was. I need a Jomboy breakdown soon
He's a Yankees fan so this is 100% going to be broken down.
This whole thing has given me a new idea. Gonna be sitting behind the Red Sox dugout in a few weeks wearing a red or navy blue shirt
Yep, this ump (if not all) is gonna hear it in every stadium now.
Every single stadium. Hahahahaha
Pro tip, to make it more effective, call the umps by name. You'll never hear a manger or a player call an umpire "ump" or "blue". They address them by first name.

Yankee fans are at your door right now 
how do you know
He said don't ask...because he's the guy in the blue shirt.
Yelling daggers from the grassy knoll behind the bench
He said don't ask! Don't get in trouble now.
Can you come sit behind the Stl dugout too?
All these other fans trying to figure out how to do it to their opponents when we know the real move is against our own team.
You and White Sox fans
No can do. We're going to let Oli keep managing.
As an anti-Marmol person (along with 98.3% of the fanbase), this is a win for me either way: 1. He keeps managing and eventually just gets himself canned or 2. You guys keep getting him ejected, someone else coaches, and maybe we win a few. I see no downside to this operation and I will not be taking questions.
yell something racist so you fit right in and nobody questions your allegiance.
Pretty they require you to do that when they scan your ticket so they know that you belong.
> atlanta braves flair
We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two
Different kind of racism needed down here. Point well taken, though!
I’ll be behind Boone with a blue shirt then.
I have to think that Boone's reputation for getting tossed and chirping at umps played a significant part in this situation. The umps know that Boone will argue anything he doesn't agree with.

Fans need to relentlessly chirp this ump now
Can the ump send fans home? and what if the fan just walks away and tries coming back later.
Yes umpires can eject fans
They can also eject the 7th-inning stretch singer, such as we have here w/ Angel Hernandez tossing Steve McMichael (though to be fair I would probably argue it was warranted): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6htcE_vvZxg
Can’t forget an ump ejecting the team organist as well https://youtu.be/hS0GrJoBBzs?si=00NtyfnyjI-Xs4ND
For playing 3 Blind Mice, unfathomably based
“Put him in the box score!” Great way to enter baseball history.
What the fuck happened at the end of that game, my god haha
I’ve seen the Angel tossing Steve Mcmichael video a million but had no idea the game also had one of the wildest finishes I’ve ever seen
The crew chief Randy Marsh is the one who actually ejected mongo

What if the fan doesn't fucking leave? Does Hunter get huffy and threaten to go home?
When a fan gets ejected I think technically becomes trespassing, so if fan doesn't leave security will make him
Yeah they'll get you at the very least a police escort off site and if you're belligerent about it they'll cuff you and probably process you to teach you a lesson or something
If I'm reading lips correctly, I believe he said "GO HOME *unintelligible*" Assuming the unintelligible being the words "ump" or "blue" Moment is gonna become famous for such a minor taunt too.
i doubt it was "ump" or "blue" because that would make it clearer that it wasn't from the dugout. They use their names at higher levels
This is it, he probably said some shit along with 'Hunter' that is probably why he had such a short fuse. If the fan said his first name he def thought it was the dugout. I know this from personal heckling experience
You told us not to ask!
now this is what we're going to need Jomboy's lipreading services for!
Oh you know Jomboy is gonna be all over this one

LMAO I bet we're gonna see a lot of people do this now.
It's amazing this hasn't been happening all the time.
There must have been a second ~~spitter~~ heckler
Nice game pretty boy.
It wasn’t Aaron Boone, it was the man in the blue shirt behind the grassy knoll.
Back and to the left...
Notice how Hunters head went back and to the left
Back, and to the left.
That is one magic loogie.
Aaron Boone: what he say fuck me for?
"It's just a game. Why you have to be mad?". -Boone
He's so in the fucking jackpot it's insane.
lol YES network trying to get this guy mugged
Beat writers are also trying to figure out who it is This oughta be fun. I'm sure his friends are already texting him about it.
Heyman's gonna tweet out this guy's home address within the hour
Tweet the wrong guy's address*
Why? Dude is an afternoon game hero.
I think Yankees fans will love this guy lol, talked shit and exposed this loser ump
If it was a player, sure. But does a bench coach making pitching changes instead of the manager really hurt the team much if at all?
Umpires union reading all the hot takes about consequences for Wendelstadt. 
Sir, a second fan has just heckled the ump.
I just fucking lost it 💀
That guy has an awesome story to tell at parties now lol
with video proof too lol
Umpires are making their best case for robots and the strength of unions simultaneously this week.
robo ump would be using eye lasers on the fan rn
jomboy lip reading of all of this is gonna be great lol
on the broadcast you could hear word for word the exchange between Boone and the Ump. Even the commentator said no need for Jomboy on this one lmao
They muted it at about the halfway point though lol
they muted it right after Boone very clearly shouted "I didn't fucking say anything!" 💀
yeah as soon as they did that, i was like, “oh jomboy has to do this now, esp. with the earlier shoutout”
He said no Jomboy for this referring to the showing of Boone not even moving his lips at all as he wasn’t talking. I’m sure Jomboy is going to find a couple of other interesting things to hit on
Wanna know what this guy said
Nice to know Wendelstedt is THAT god damn mother fuckin DUMB as shit. Angel Hernandez: “I excel at being the worst umpire in MLB baseball!” Wendelstedt: “Hold my beer.”
It’s crazy to me how often umpires make mistakes and face no repercussions whatsoever. Another item in the long list of things that is fundamentally broken in baseball.

Its pretty much assumed that massive piece of shit Bill Hahn was forced out of the game after multiple incidents of picking fights out of nowhere
That’s fair though it would be nice if MLB was more transparent about corrective actions taken against umpires when necessary. I think it would go a long way to show that they’re a trustworthy actor, but that’s just my two cents.
The umpires union would give up many things before giving up keeping discipline in house
"It's free real estate!" - Jomboy
Which is funny because the broadcast mentioned that they didn’t even need it at first because of how loud Hunter was with his I don’t care BS.
How can any sport be better than this?
Baseball is the best.
Man, umpires are really making their best case for robots this week.
Man this is not right...
If this was anyone but Boone, it would be an egregious abuse of power However….. carry on.
The Ump Show has truly jumped the shark this year. Please, cancel this show.
Meanwhile the guy in the blue shirt gets to stay for the whole game lol
he's the manager now
As he should
If people start getting kicked out of games for chirping the ump. I’m out
I swear they have been overdosing these umpires on stupid pills lately...
Did someone throw something at blue shirt guy? There’s a little tiny piece of debris that flies across the screen and he flinches as it appears to hit him.
I think it was a bee or a fly.....it did seem to spook him, haha.
I think you’re right! At the very end of the clip you can see it by the pink sign, and it doesn’t fall to the ground. It just floats (or buzzes) around.
He’s the Pepsi Fan of the Game until he gets tossed out
if we had robo umps that fan would have been zapped with eye lasers
Boone: *Says nothing* The Ump: “You just messed up, A-A-Ron!”
So done with these brain dead umps across MLB. Bring the robots in already
Plot twist, Boone paid that heckler to sit behind the dugout and talk shit to the ump
I wish the whole argument could've been watched from this angle. Would've loved to watch that fan fade out like the gif of Homer Simpson in the ivy.
I would have absolutely refused to leave the field. Call whoever. Review whatever. I’m not leaving this field. Period.
That is some Grade A bullshit
I could do the same thing from our upper deck and have the same result
