What was most frustrating was the ump gesturing at Jake with a “what the fuck are you doing?” Like he wasn’t standing in the way.
Umpire then had the nerve to act like it was Cronenworth’s fault too
I had never seen anything like it.
For those wondering: 2B ump is Ryan Willis. This is Phil Cuzzi’s crew.
Thought it was funny and didn’t really matter much until I saw how close the play would have been otherwise. Probably would have been safe. Still funny in a ridiculous way but what an idiot that umpire is
Welcome to the big leagues, hayseed. Don’t stand on the tracks when the train’s coming through.
I would really like to have seen the entire play from [the first angle shown here](https://i.imgur.com/vZGRLph.jpg) to see Cronenworth’s route and how much if any the umpire moved onto the dirt. None of the replays showed that clearly. It would *seem* like there was a lane, but ultimately this is inconclusive.
In Basketball the official is considered part of the court, so is the Ump in MLB considered part of the field? This is a new one for me
Sometimes an ump does something so boneheaded that you, as a manager, have to get yourself thrown out of the game for it. This was one of those times. I love me some BoMel but he needed to make a scene here.

I need to see this
I think Jake would have made it there in time.
Thanks for posting. Was waiting for this one.
handlit33 get the hell in here now
No official clip that I’ve seen yet, but on Twitter: [https://twitter.com/TooMuchMortons_/status/1665489207366926338](https://twitter.com/TooMuchMortons_/status/1665489207366926338)
EDIT:
I’ll add more as I find them, still can’t find a clip of the live game, just replays…

Aaron Boone would still be yelling at the ump.
Best view I’ve seen is the Padres telecast here:

“Thaught it was gonna be really close, but that’s why it wasn’t” Don says funny shit without even trying. I miss him so much.
Jake should have blown his ass up
Ump show
is there any chance the ump thought the play was going to first and completely forgot there was a runner coming into second?
​
In the video the ump is closer to the mound when the ball is picked up but somehow jumps directly Infront of the base runner
What in the actual fuck
Umpire trespassed into the Crone Zone
Every day I hate umpires even more
Two words: forearm shiver
Too bad Bob Melvin refuses to light an ump up.
Get umps out of the game!!!!
