Why This Matters
Scott Barry straight up mocked Ryan Howard's hands-on-hips pose mid-argument, then things escalated hard when Howard told him to fuck off and got tossed. The chaos doesn't stop there though because the ejection forces a position switch nobody saw coming.

Click timestamps to jump to that momentRyan Howard is up at the dish, grooving
and feeling good. First pitch, swings
through it. Down 0 and one. Next pitch,
did he hold? Did he hold? Puts his hands
on his hips. Umpire Scott Barry said,
"Oh, I can do that, too, dude." THIS FAN
SAID, "YOU SUCK."
OH,
PATHETIC.
Scott Barry's like, "Uh, oh my god, it's
not between you and I. It's between me
and him, man. It's not between us." And
the home plane umpire's like, "Uh, oh,
okay." And then it looks like Ryan
Howard saying like, "I'm just mad at
myself. Can't be mad at myself, huh?
Fuck." Scott Barry still staring. Still
engaged. Then another ball in and the
runners advance. So now the go-ahad run
is at third base. Stays locked in. Two
strikes. Stay locked in. Stay locked in.
Milansen throws another curve. Did he go
this time? Yep. And I'mma stare at you.
And Ryan Howard says, "Oh, [ __ ] you,
Scott." Which you gone. That gets him
ejected. That gets him ejected, right?
I'll throw my helmet, too. And then the
homeplayed umpire is trying to come out
Ryan, calm down. Calm down." And he
says, "Don't you [ __ ] talk to me.
Don't you [ __ ] talk to me. Don't
[ __ ] talk to me." NO. WATCH OUT.
THAT'S [ __ ] [ __ ] SCOTT. THAT'S
[ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] TWICE. You [ __ ]
[ __ ] you.
[ __ ] you, Scott.
All you [ __ ]
[ __ ] Oh my god. Look at the intensity
in those eyes. Oh wow. That is scaring
me. Is that scaring you? Scaring me. So
Raul Abanz had to go from left field to
first base. He hadn't played first base
in five years. And who went to left
field? Starting pitcher Roy Oswalt. And
the first pitch, of course, it goes to
left field. Oswalt grabs it with ease.
Throws it in. The next batter grounds
out back to the pitcher. He feels it,
grabs it, corrals it, throws it to our
guy. We get a bunt to the first baseman.
Why not test him? The inning opens with
the left fielder who's brand new making
a play. It ends with the first baseman
who's brand new at the position making a
play. But we cut to later in the night.
It's now 12:15, 12:16. We can read
clocks. We're getting tired. The
Phillies have lost the lead. It's the
bottom of the 16th inning. There's two
outs and we got Roy Oswald on deck. So,
Chase Utley, you're not going to see a
pitch. They're going to intentionally
walk him to get to the pitcher who's
playing left field and batting fourth.
Strike one. Oh, strike two. Okay. Ow.
And hole. We got to woo them. Woo. Woo.
Excuse me, sir. You can't lean on the
dugout like that. You can't be woo. Dad,
I thought you said we could wooga. And
then ball in play to the third baseman.
He gobbles it up. He's going to throw it
to first. Phillies lose.
