South Carolina coach gets ejected for saying 'outside', a breakdown
What Happened
In the bottom of the seventh inning of a close game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Vanderbilt Commodores, tensions are high as the Gamecocks trail by a single run. South Carolina pitcher George Callil delivers a pitch that the home plate umpire calls a strike, despite the pitch appearing to be well outside the strike zone. South Carolina head coach Mark Kingston disagrees with the call and can be heard yelling "outside" from the dugout. The umpire quickly ejects Coach Kingston for the comment, much to the surprise and frustration of the South Carolina players and coaching staff. Coach Kingston emerges from the dugout to argue the ejection, though he keeps his composure and simply states, "You heard me say the word 'outside,' please put that in the report." The umpire maintains the ejection, leading to a tense and heated exchange. Despite the adversity, the Gamecocks rally behind their coach's passion and go on to win the game. After the victory, Coach Kingston reflects on the incident, saying, "I talk to my team, they're my guys." He acknowledges that while he may have gone a bit far, his actions were motivated by his desire to support his players and get the best possible outcome for the team. The video of the incident quickly goes viral, with fans and analysts debating the umpire's quick trigger and the coach's measured response. Some praise Coach Kingston's commitment to his team, while others question the umpire's decision to eject him over a single word. Regardless, the moment stands as a testament to the intensity and emotion that can arise in the heat of a close college baseball game. As the South Carolina Gamecocks continue their season, this episode will likely be remembered as a defining moment that brought the team closer together and inspired them to fight for victory, even in the face of adversity.

season-long mlb bets while you can
before it starts
look at this pitch it starts outside it
breaks more outside
ump says that's a strike i don't think
this pitch was ever close to the zone i
don't think the batter ever considered
swinging at it but the um said that's a
strike so the pitcher goes right back
there
and gets the k ump likes this outside
pitch
to righties so a couple batters later
the pitcher's like hey let's try that
outside pitch to a lefty ump doesn't
call it he says no
fool i only like that when righty's
dropped lefties i'm not a fan of it
you could hear some audio from the
dugout you could only hear the coach say
one word he said the word
outside i didn't include that audio but
trust me you could hear and that's all
you could hear just him say outside and
that's all the umpered too so it gives
them a warning
coach comes out says something then he
says you're gone
you're gone and it's maybe the weakest
you're gone
you're gone i've ever seen an ump do and
it's embarrassing and i won't stand for
it if you're gonna throw a dude out
you know do it with some vim and vigor
like put on a show a little bit
you can't you're gone now you can hear
the coach say some stuff

and that's the sign of a great coach any
coach that doesn't talk to his team
doing a piss-poor job but this coach
admits it i talk to him they're my guys
so now we just need someone to leak this
report i don't know if we have any
scorekeepers anyone
that has anything to do with sec
baseball here but yeah leak the report
this guy agrees i love the passive
aggressive thumbs up in college baseball
we saw altoff do this a couple days ago
and yeah i'm just more
passive aggressive thumbs up from
players in college baseball
and i think we would all be happy to see
that the team got a little fired up they
were losing by one they came back and
won this game so credit to the coach for
talking to his team
that's what good coaches do but yeah he
had to leave and he's like you know what
i think i have more to say i think i
could have said this one line and that
would have really went over well so he's
like i'm storming back
i'm storming back just joking he's going
to get his backpack he's probably got
some snacks in there
and he he probably wants to um you know
they're the away team so maybe he's like
i don't want to sit on the bus without
any food
so got his backpack a good call i mean
probably would have been real bummer if
he had to do the rest of the
whatever his day is without all the cool
stuff in his backpack maybe his phone's
in there and he needed it
