Which means what? It means Bob was the antagonist.

Do you know what Brad said to Bob? You sound like the commentators!

1. yes, he said "Come on now!"

2. Bob. Chased. Him.

[GoodOldGus]

Bob has all the makings of a veteran umpire that has umpired a few seasons too long.

Gil ...

your description of this strike says ......"inner half" of the plate ..........

I don't know what was said, and for all I know the player said magic words. And I don't know what history, if any, these two have going. Fine.

 

You must admit, though, that Davidson has a knack for making himself look bad, starting with his personal appearance. That's not everything, but it's not nothing, either.

Here's the bottom line ......... and please, correct me if I'm wrong ..........BUT .......

Whatever Brad said wasn't enough to get him rung up immediately......

OK, I'll correct you: if a player turns and says to an umpire, "you're horseshït," he gotta go.

 

There are magic words in MLB, and everyone knows them.

maven, please ....... I think I know that ..........

 

take a look at :55 ........Miller turns and smiles, ......his lips don't move (I'm not saying he DIDN'T say anything) ......I'm saying I don't see him saying anything else ..... he's being chased, and he's gone when he turns and smiles .... it's a perception thing

[Rulekeep]

And Brad Miller never argues with umpires, never. Especially not Bob Davidson.

IMHO he needs to retire again and let Tripp Gibson or David Rackley into the ranks.

It's possible that Bob saw the turn and smile as an attempt to show him up and that's what earned him the quick hook.

[Rulekeep]

I'm pretty sure Bob Davidson listens to Fall Out Boy before games.

"I don't care what you think as long as it's about me..."

If Greg Gibson were to eject Rulekeep's favorite Mariner, I think her head would explode...

He did it in 2003.

Smoak's on the DL.

And, I'm sorry, but for the most part Greg Gibson doesn't chase players and eject them for shaking their head or just a little complaining.

Maybe you should write him a letter and tell him that!
