That video shows no lead-in on how bad that ump was calling strikes.

Wow, what a ********.
First he strikes out swinging on a terrible pitch below his knees. Then he XXXXXes at the ump for another strike.
Then he's rough as his own manager tries to calm him down, followed by Pedroia telling him to stop.
Then he breaks the phone with his bat, sending pieces of plastic flying in the dugout, nearly hitting Pedroia in the eye.
I understand having passion, but Ortiz just looked like a little brat, and could have seriously injured a teammate in the dugout with the phone shattering.

Big Roidy is such a joke. I hope MLB suspends him for a couple of games. The Mitchell Report my try to protect him but his actions are crystal clear.

WOW what a psycho... he nearly hit his teammate in the head with the bat... Roid Rage pretty much sums it up.

Home crowd must of been loving that!

Stop being such a homer. There's no excuse for swinging your bat in the dugout near someone's head, then shattering a phone and sending pieces of it near teammates' eyes.
It doesn't matter how bad the ump's calls were. He swung at a crappy pitch to strikeout. That's Papi's fault. And then he acted like a XXXXX.

Definitely not how one would expect a 37 year-old veteran having the kind of season and career he's having to behave.

Maybe the CBA could be amended to include a mandatory test immediately following ejections... LOL

 

[joey12508]

Wow what a jerk, he could have hurt someone.

 

[notjomommasclint]

That's uncalled for. One of the reasons I was glad youk got ran was his XXXXty faces and constant XXXXXing about called strikes.

 

[nosterbor]

He was acting like a mewling ****.

They'd probably put it in an Adam Jones card.

Completely uncalled for. I loved how Pedroia got in his face and I hope he did it again in the clubhouse.

That was honestly the worst umpire I have ever seen [personally] for calling ball and strikes. I couldn't believe some of the pitches he was calling against the Sox and for the O's. Like that one pitch Dempster has that Salty set up inside and had to reach over to the middle of the plate to catch?! No doubter strike....even Machado was walking back to the dugout because he thought he struck out!


I'll admit, Papi did overreact, but I would have been pissed as well.

Did you watch the game, Markakis? I'm sure even you can admit how awful that umpire was...
