Rex Hudler Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Minor League Manager doing his best Lou Piniella impression Click on the link below for a hilarious video of a Minor League manager doing his best Lou Piniella impression on an umpire. As good as this was, it still wasn't as good as the show Wally Backman put on a few years ago in Birmingham. Wally's show was similar, but it was at 3B. The base went much farther when he threw it. As he walked to the plate, the bat boy had put baseballs on home plate since the home plate umpire was out trying to calm down Wally. Wally kicked the four baseballs like a FG attempt. Then add about a dozen more bats, two water coolers and the gum/seed bucket and you have Wally's show. Nonetheless, this is worth the look.

juddling Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 of course if Ozzie did that, the media would label him an out-of-control lunatic who should be fired for telling the ump he's got a fat wife and to shove it up his sister's ass!

Controlled Chaos Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'd like to know if he was right or not. Did the ump blow the call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally's was far better it happened in 2003 I believe he got what a 5 game suspension it was funny all in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 When he was struggling to pull the base out of the dirt, I thought he wouldn't be able to do it. Imagine how embarrassing it would be to fail at that while you're throwing a tantrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His owner won't stand for that. Sure he will. He'll get suspended for 5-10 games (more likely 5 depending on what was said more than what was done). He's employed by the Colorado Rockies. His "owner" isn't really an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was a pretty firey player too. I have no idea the type of manager he is, but the odds of him getting fired for this is slim to none, imo. Its not like he ever touched the ump. Sure he went on a tirade, but I'm also sure it deflected some of the angst with whatever has been going on with his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a freakin show put on by the manager. He didn't punch anyone. He didn't touch anyone. He just yelled and added a little theatrics. This has nothing to do with "character". Hell, when Wally had his outburst, after he was finished, he winked and smiled at Juan Nieves, the pitching coach, on his way into the clubhouse. This is funny to watch, but no big deal folks.
