This was a brutal move by the ump.
on Thursday when he was tossed from a game against the Detroit Tigers after not saying a word to the home plate umpire.
Thomas struck out on a called third strike in the top of the sixth inning. He then turned toward Emil Jimenez, who is in his second year as a MLB umpire, but didn't say anything. Jimenez quickly threw him out of the game, which led to Thomas dropping a few bad words at the ump. Here's how that whole situation played out. You can hear through the mics that Thomas didn't say anything before being ejected:Baseball’s umpire culture is so crazy to me. Imagine a ref in the NFL throwing out Patrick Mahomes for arguing a call. Insane. Not sure why MLB allows these umpires to act like gods and throw out players that you pay good money to watch. No one is here to watch the umpire.. This is another reason why it's tough to draw new fans.
