Adrian Beltre is unarguably among baseball’s purest sources of joy and delight. But umpire Gerry Davis was not too delighted by Beltre’s response tonight when he told the veteran to get in the on-deck circle while he was, uh, on deck. Beltre simply dragged the on-deck circle to where he was already standing—a few feet away—and Davis reacted by ejecting him.

these grumpy old fucks got to go....

you want to get kids into it, a new generation to stop the hemorrhaging of fans not coming to games or watching on tv, then you need to get rid of these fuckers.

umpires that think they need to play a part in the game and be noticed or take themselves too seriously are fucking pathetic.


its a game, its supposed to be FUN, that was a fun moment that was ruined by a crusty ol fuck that thinks hes bigger than the game

The bigger picture here is that fans stayed late for a reason, They wanted to see Beltre get closer to history.

Most fans stayed even though it was a 18-6 ball game at the time Beltre got ejected.

Gerry Davis is the biggest wet blanket.

does the rulebook say anything about the specific location of the on deck circle? That information may impact my opinion on the situation

An umpire can tell a hitter to get into the on deck circle...But if you haven't said anything for 8 innings why all of a sudden make a big deal of it?

Also it's an 18-6 game...who the fuck cares lmao...The Marlins did not ask Beltre to move it was all Gerry Davis.

There is no justifying this.

And about 90% of players dont stand on the on deck circle because its slick

When I heard this story I thought it was like a joke and that the umpire didn't throw him out because it's Beltre and everyone jokes around with him and vice versa

Couldn't believe it actually happened lol
