I'm glad we had this talk

In all my years of following baseball I have never seen anything quite like this.

Major originality points for the trench crawl and the rosin bag grenade. This coupled with events last week just goes to show that getting thrown out of baseball games isn't degenerate behavior ... it's an art form.

UPDATE: Piniella videos were taken down by MLB ( Read more... )

I am sorry... BUT IS THAT FOR REAL?

I watched it with no volume but that seems absolutely ridiculous. Why did they let him go on???

This makes no sense to me whatsoever!

the audio is just people cheering and booing. no context or explanation given.

Yes, it is for real.

I would think if this was actually an MLB game they probably would have stopped him much sooner. The minor leagues I guess has a different attitude.

Though i'm still surprised they just let him carry on this long. Apparently it's not the first time he's done something like this, so I guess they just let him carry on till he left of his own accord. Or maybe minor league umpires are just weenies compared to major league umpires so they were too scared to do anything.
