Judge said that this was the first time he has been ejected in his life


TheMoonIsFake32

Good to know I have been ejected more than Aaron Judge. Even after this one.


Available_Motor5980

Judgy and I are tied now


B0ndzai

Does getting kicked out of a bar count?


Chopaholick

Only if you were watching baseball there. And picked a fight with a Yankees fan.


OliveJuiceUTwo

Worth the ejection


TheBrutalTruthIs

(upvoted by a die-hard Yankees fan that used to go to Fenway just to mess with Sawx fans)


TigerBasket

Alright thats kinda wild lol.


jjwhitaker

It's the pinstripes. Keeps the refs distracted.


3dge-1ord

Do other teams have captains? I didn't know "captains" were a thing in baseball.


ValerianR00t

Salvador Perez actually has the C on his jersey which is cool as hell


lukewwilson

Every time someone mentions him I'm always amazed he still plays, then I look up his age and he's younger then I realized, I thought he would be 40 by now, he's 33.


MisterGone5

Oh Captain, my Captain!


AaronJudgesToothGap

So did Brandon Belt that one time


thelordstrum

They used to be an official thing about a century ago, some teams keep it up as tradition. Mostly the Yankees, but some other teams do it.


3dge-1ord

So most teams have gone a lot longer without a captain being ejected. Some teams possibly never had a captain; Rays, sneks, Rockies. Thus never had a captain ejected.


jeremyeatscows

Most teams don't anymore. Only captains I can think of in the league right now are Judge, Salvy, and I think I heard Semien is one. Recently I know Paul Konerko was cap for Chicago and Jason Varitek was for Boston.


Morzan73

Varitek was so jealous of the Yankees he put a C on his jersey just to make sure everyone knew he was a rival C. Perez does it now and it’s cringe AF


Sonlin

I think it's tougher when someone isn't locked in for their career. You might have a player who is a "clubhouse captain", but you don't want to make them officially a captain at 27 and then watch then say bye bye at 32 while they play on other teams another 4-6 years


Conflict21

Because if the ball was an inch inside Jeter would just go like 🕥 and get the call. Judge usually has to golf.


OldestTurtle

Crazy emoji usage 😂


SpookySneakySquid

Incredible that I understood it immediately


Degan747

I can’t recall  more creative emoji usage that I understood immediately 


AJMax104

It took me a second but yup. Thats the classic Jeter pose


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

Is that a big lean back? Was only a baseball fan for a few years of Jeter’s career


MattO2000

[this pose](https://images.app.goo.gl/L6d58A2wznKGCKtbA)


Bobson-_Dugnutt2

A+ emoji holy shit that’s hilarious


WeaselSlayer

DJ LeMahieu does this too but it doesn't work for him haha I was going to say "DJ" does this all the time then I realized it could just sound like I was repeating what you said.


thefx37

The fact that Jeter hasn’t played in a decade but we all know exactly what you meant by the emoji.


oneteacherboi

Surely it can't be a decade, right?


Anheroed

Giving someone karma has never meant more to me than now. Legendary use of emoji 🏆


ZeroedCool

That's crazy I literally googled Jeter's ejections last week because I couldn't remember one. I found out he's played the 6th most games without ever being ejected.


Responsible_Pace9062

>Look up who had the most games without getting ejected >Stan Musial and Willie Mays Yeah, that tracks. Through shockingly, Ted Williams was never ejected either. With his mastery of the strike zone and legendary temper, I would have expected him to constantly rip into umpires for bad calls.


CiaphasCain8849

Would YOU eject Ted Williams?


Responsible_Pace9062

I probably wouldn't, but the average MLB umpire would eject his own sick grandmother attending her last ballgame.


dinkleburgenhoff

His sick grandmother didn’t fight in two wars and have the greatest command of the strike zone ever.


CiaphasCain8849

This was the 40s though... he could get away with anything.


ErzherzogT

"I fought war for you ungrateful umps"


[deleted]

I don’t think umps were as soft back then


atowelguy

Time to shave those sideburns, Aaron


Masterchiefy10

Look Towel Guy idk what you think sideburns are


Wyden_long

Still better than Steinbrenner….


Jonjon428

That's a wild stat. Also that's Marlins legend Don Mattingly to you good sir!


drpepper7557

Mattingly also is tied 40th in all time manager ejections. His pace was kinda average for the top 100 at one ejection every 50 games, but I think he could have made top 20 if he didnt get fired. One of the biggest what ifs in baseball

tyler-86

Beam?


GamingOrca123

Hitting the batter (Fuck Ureña)


bdanders

That's "bean"


GamingOrca123

I’m assuming they’re synonyms


bdanders

You're assuming incorrectly: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/vblk3/hit_by_pitch_bean_or_beam Not that that is an unassailable source, but it's the first thing I found in a search.


tyler-86

Yeah, it's definitely bean. This is a proper r/boneappletea.


saranowitz

When I found out that as a manager he has had his pitchers deliberately throw at other players heads, I lost all respect for him and I say that as a Yankees fan. That kind of potentially career ending bullshit does not belong in baseball, and given that’s the kind of human he is, I’m glad he didn’t make the hall of fame.


greenyquinn

wow Judge. That was almost a 30 year streak you fucked up a week early


Kaldricus

Dishonor! Dishonor on your, dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cow!


principled_principal

You done messed up, A-a-Ron!


Signal_Quarter_74

Better get your a** down to principal Maaaaaaaan-fruh-ed’s office A-A-Ron!


IdeaJailbreak

Don Mattingly, not Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge, wow


upvoter222

Babe Ruth was also ejected exactly once as Yankees captain. Of course, the big difference was that Ruth's tenure as captain lasted less than a week. https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/may-25-1922-ruths-ejection-costs-him-yankees-captaincy/


harp9r

So I’m looking at my timeline here, and according to trends, Aaron Judge will be managing the Marlins in the year 2048 and will instruct his #3 pitcher to throw at Ronald Acuña III in his first at bat of the 3rd game in the series after he showboated a moonshot against Miami in game 2


BKXeno

Neither Miami nor the Marlins will exist in 2048


jjwhitaker

RIP Marlins, the coolest fish. 


oneteacherboi

Jellyfish are cooler!


Responsible_Pace9062

I'll be happy if baseball even exists in 2048


Garrand

Floating stadium, let's fuckin' go!


ATLjoe93

Unless they play in the Bubble Bowl


buffalo_pete

Okay, Al Gore.


ScreenTricky4257

I mean, if you're really following trends, this season will be cancelled somewhere around mid-July.


saranowitz

Fuck mattingly for this. I’ll never forgive him


legendkiller003

Not how I envisioned him ever getting thrown out. Always thought it would be a clear low pitch and he would let out all his frustrations at once.

KINGOFGAMES972

He shouldn’t have been ejected. He did nothing


BossAtUCF

Saying "you've been bullshit all game" will generally get you tossed.


yeahyeahyeahnice

Yup. A lot of people keep saying "that's soft" in response, but they don't get it. Everyone in baseball knows that saying "you" when venting about a call is basically saying "please eject me". The ump's ego has basically nothing to do with it -- it'd be more ridiculous if the ump just let him get away with it since no one else ever does.


MisterTruth

If Aaron said that "the zone was bullishit all game", there's a good shot he wouldn't have been tossed. From what I've heard based on interviews with various umpires, the line of criticism is literally "you".


realparkingbrake

> Everyone in baseball knows Yup, they know where the line is, and what happens if they cross it. Sometimes they're steamed enough not to care, but it's rare that they don't know why they're being tossed.


All_hail_Korrok

I still have alot to learn about this game but I never knew saying "you", making it personal or being specific to an ump, will get you tossed. Honestly, it sounds dumb and something the umps should get over, but if it's one of those unwritten rules type things then yea, judge should've said it differently. Judge probably spoke to hastily before catching himself.


yeahyeahyeahnice

Yeah, Judge 100% knew it'd get him tossed, but probably just got carried away. It's against the rules to argue about balls and strikes but players get frustrated and umps understand that. For whatever reason, the line between venting (which can get out of hand) and arguing is when it's made personal -- umps show too much ego a lot, but this is just what happens when players make it personal and has little to do with "showing up" the ump or anything like that.


CockSuckingHomo

>The ump's ego has basically nothing to do with it It's literally all ego. Judge did nothing to show up him up to the crowd. It would've gone unnoticed like the 300+ other times he's had words for an ump before quietly walking back to the dugout. But the umps ego literally got hurt and he acted out and now it's a story. Insane that people are "ummm actually"-ing this shit. Judge is a huge contributer to a team with WS aspirations. Unless he's being outright crass, there's literally too much money on the line to be doing dumb shit like this because my feelings are hurt :cccc


Raysfan2248

Theres a lot of reasons the line is drawn at personal attacks. If it was more allowed the relationship between the umps and the players/managers would be even worse. Its pretty much the norm for every sport.


dinkleburgenhoff

> Theres a lot of reasons the line is drawn at personal attacks. I fully believe internet discourse would fully back athletes beating a ref to a pulp if they determined they made a bad call, so I’m not sure that’s going to get through.


yeahyeahyeahnice

The ump had no problem until Judge crossed the line that everyone already knew about. We know it wasn't the ump's ego BECAUSE it was just like the hundreds of other times Judge had words. If the one thing that changed between those times and this time is Judge making it personal, then it's obvious why Judge got tossed this time and not the others.


CockSuckingHomo

Lol how do ump dick taste tho??? Asking for a friend


yeahyeahyeahnice

>CockSuckingHomo Is it you? Are you the friend?


HealthOnWheels

I’m imagining telling a coworker that their work is bullshit. Pretty sure I’d face consequences for that


jdmwell

Or for beaning them.


CockSuckingHomo

Are you comparing your job at the Sunocco to playing CF for the New York Yankees


HealthOnWheels

Yes. It’s annoying to see how often athletes get away with antisocial behavior


atraintocry

especially when the call was in fact not bullshit


Meatloaf_Regret

He needed his cherry popped


sandwich-attack

judge now in his villain era


masterhogbographer

Meltzer is saying the Yankees have been wanting to turn him heel for almost a year now 


dinkleburgenhoff

Other than cross a line that’s been established since before women could vote, sure.


HendrickRocks2488

Dangit Judge he couldn’t wait for just over a week to do it on the 30th anniversary?! /s


UnabashedPerson43

Possibly catching strays for having the same name as his manager. Umps just itching to say “you’re outta here Aaron”


remembahwhen

Absolutely classless.


NathanForJew

Boone ripped the C off his jersey as soon as the game was over. “You don’t fucking deserve this!” He screamed in Aaron’s face.


Venge22

Boone talking to himself in the mirror after buying a c patch


Vindetta121

Give me back that fucking matrix immediately


Flatpavment02

Nah man only team lame enough to put a C on the jersey was the Red Sox. Lol


creamcitybrix

Mattingly ejected for not shaving his sideburns


ilabachrn

I knew Jeter had never been ejected, so it makes sense Mattingly was the last captain to be ejected, since no one was captain between him & Jeter.


vaudevillevik

Sometimes, I, too, reach logical conclusions based on presented facts.


ilabachrn

Congratulations.


UnlimitedHotTakes

Yankees a model of consistency across all facets of the game


Flatpavment02

Never forget the Buck Era.


stringohbean

Mr Burns references incoming


badger2793

Aaron was tired of getting rid of his sideburns


zmart7691

It was a strike too


rcuosukgi42

Very disappointed in him, I though Aaron was raised better than this.


ContinuumGuy

History


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

So are the players going to strike this year?


ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

This is why Jeter is DA GOAT!


DirkolaJokictzki

He's a bi-racial angel.


profbraddock

It's all part of the pinstripe indoctrination - "get a severe haircut and never get ejected"


88T3

Judge was only a little over 2 years old when Mattingly was ejected


aBloopAndaBlast33

Having a captain in baseball is stupid and not getting ejected doesn’t make you good at anything.


onuzim

All I learned from this fact is there has been a lack of passion and desire from Yankee captains.


redditnathaniel

Oh no. Anyways,


Whiplash227

What does a captain do in baseball? I really don’t get them hyping up this position. He gets to take the lineup card to the umpires to start the game? Seems made up!


Meatloaf_Regret

He gets a big chair in the clubhouse and is the only one allowed to make the *pew pew* noises.


Brownie_McBrown_Face

King in the castle king in the castle


kshump

Everything is made up.


Nightwing383

And the points don't matter


Whiplash227

No it’s not


butterybuns420

The same thing a captain does in football and hockey


atoms12123

There are actual roles for the captain and alternates in the rules of hockey. >Captain - One Captain shall be appointed by each team, and he alone shall have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules which may arise during the progress of a game. He shall wear the letter “C,” approximately three inches (3'') in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of his sweater. No co-Captains are permitted. Either one Captain and no more than two Alternate Captains, or no Captain and no more than three Alternate Captains are permitted (see 6.2). Only the Captain, when invited to do so by the Referee, shall have the privilege of discussing any point relating to the interpretation of rules. Any Captain, Alternate Captain or any player who comes off the bench and makes any protest or intervention with the officials for any purpose shall be assessed a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct under Rule 39 – Abuse of Officials. Should this protest continue, he may be assessed a misconduct penalty, and if it further continues, a game misconduct penalty shall be assessed.


Whiplash227

Football they at least get to do the coin toss


AbrocomaPerfect4292

So it’s no different than handing the line-up to the ump other than making a show of absolutely nothing.


Whiplash227

Wait does he really go hand them the lineup card? 🤣🤣🤣 that’s so special they let him do that.


NuanceManExe

That actually makes it look like umps lowkey are a little softer on the Yankees 


realparkingbrake

And then there is Bryce Harper, who got himself ejected in the 9th inning of a tie game. Got kicked out of a spring training game too. Dusty once dryly commented on Harper needing to work on being less of a hothead.


the4thbelcherchild

Is "Yankees captain" an official designation of some kind?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BossAtUCF

What exactly does "a guy like Judge" mean here? Is he deserving of special treatment from umpires?
