Reviewed call incorrectly stands and George Springer goes nuts, a breakdown
What Happened
In the top of the seventh inning, the Toronto Blue Jays are leading the game 5-0 against their opponent. George Springer, the Blue Jays' outfielder, steps up to the plate, facing a 1-1 count. The next pitch from the opposing pitcher is a low, breaking ball that Springer believes should have been called a ball. However, the umpire, Manny, calls it a strike, much to Springer's dismay. Springer immediately expresses his frustration, gesturing towards the umpire and voicing his disagreement with the call. The next pitch is a 92-mph fastball that appears to be in the strike zone, but Springer disagrees with this call as well. As the count moves to 1-2, Springer takes a slider that appears to hit his foot, causing him to react in pain. The Blue Jays' dugout immediately requests a review of the play, and the umpires go to the replay booth to take a closer look. Despite the clear evidence that the ball hit Springer's foot, the umpires are unable to conclusively determine that it happened, and the call on the field stands. This decision leaves Springer and the Blue Jays' manager, John Schneider, visibly upset. Springer approaches the umpire, Manny, and begins to express his frustration, saying, "What? What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's awful. That's awful. Terrible. That's so, oh my goodness. That is terrible, Manny." Schneider tries to intervene, hoping to prevent Springer from being ejected, but Springer's anger escalates, and he is ultimately ejected from the game. As Springer walks towards the dugout, he continues to express his displeasure, using profanity and saying, "That's horse shit. That's horse shit. Throw me out of the game, mother. Then throw me out. Terrible. That's terrible. Horse shit." Teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps in and helps guide Springer towards the dugout, displaying excellent leadership and teamwork. Throughout the incident, the umpires remain steadfast in their decision, despite the clear evidence that the ball hit Springer's foot. This controversial call and Springer's passionate reaction highlight the intensity and emotion that can arise in high-stakes baseball games, where every call can have a significant impact on the outcome.

replay and okay it looks like it hit his foot there but you can't see it and this one okay his
foot flings a little bit right like it hit it here's the slow-mo up close and yeah it looks
like his foot gets twisted a little bit i understand from those two where they're like
well
we're not 100 because whatever maybe he just did that movement i i guess i don't know but when you
see this angle and you see the trajectory of the ball just completely get kicked out like look
where the catcher's throwing his glove it's a lefty it's a slider that ball is going to hit
the ground and move behind him uh that would be the natural course of that ball instead it gets
completely kicked and goes the other way so i don't know how you watch this replay and you don't
say yes okay that's a good thing i don't know how you watch this replay and you don't say yes okay
that's a good thing i don't know how you watch this replay and you don't say yes okay that's
a good thing the pitchers reaction was by 잘�on so well i'll show you what mappauv looked like
hair front post press that one that hits the bat hit his foot for sure and the pitcher's
reaction was oh i'm not saying so now you gotta remember this call is out of these umpires hands
but the call on the field holds so much weight because it needs to be 100 conclusive that it
hit him and they're saying it's not 100 it's only 99.9 i guess so they say oh call on the field stands
is not smiling anymore. He goes, what? What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That's awful. That's awful. Terrible. That's so, oh my goodness. That is terrible, Manny.
And here comes his manager, Schneider. He doesn't want Springer to get ejected from the game,
so he's got to get ahead of this. Whoa, whoa, Manny. Are you kidding me? So we don't have any
eyes on it. But during those whoa, whoa's and the Manny's, Springer gets ejected. Manny, are you
kidding me? And Springer just got tossed. So now his hands go up like, what? And now he's even
madder about getting ejected than he is about getting the call wrong because he's going to say,
that's, that's even worse.
That's worse. You throwing me out. It's worse. No, that's worse. Throwing me out of the game.
It's worse. That's horse shit. That's horse shit. Throw me out of the game, mother.
Then throw me out. Terrible. That's terrible. Horse shit. He's mad, riled up. Again,
never seen him that mad.
And before I move forward with the rest of the lip reading, just a huge credit here to Vladdy,
right? I mean, Vladdy, he runs from behind here and then he's got a do-si-do-em all the way around,
following him around, gets in the middle, and then he's got to drag him out. Just a great job
by Vladdy getting him out of there. Big claps to Vladdy. Probably saved him some fines there,
but Springer takes us all the way into the dugout. Horse shit. Yeah. Not happy about it.
Helmets off, walking, just really not. That's terrible, bro. Oh, almost threw the helmet.
Doesn't throw the helmet. Restraint. Good job. That's terrible, bro. Oh, look at the eyes right
here. Those eyes right there. That's a sad man. That's a man who's been wronged. He's been wronged.
He just doesn't understand how he could be. Oh, oh, yeah.
And then it's all the same the rest of the way. That's terrible.
Terrible. You missed it and you missed it too. Yep. Yep. I think I agree with him. I think they
missed it. If you enjoy these breakdowns, subscribe to the channel, follow along on
