Ichiro Suzuki’s only career ejection, a breakdown #seattle #ichiro #mariners #mlb #baseball #japan

Next pitch, they're going to be like,

"All right, let's move it a little off

the plate again. In there for a strike.

0 and2 now is like, those seem pretty

close. I'm going to have I'm going to

make him bring it in." And they say,

"No, we're going to go further away cuz

he's given us the calls." Bam. Boom.

You're out. Iro puts the bat on the

ground, draws a little line. Immediate

ejection. He says, "You're trying to

disrespect me like that. You're trying

to disrespect me like that. Drawing

lines in the dirt. Uh-uh." If you don't

watch a lot of baseball, that is like a

universal no. No. You can't draw lines

in the dirt. They eject you immediately.

You also can't use the word you. You

screwed up. You're so bad. It's like

that was bad. So, Iro knows that. He

kind of knows what he was doing. Rung

up. Punched out right in the face. Watch

this. Is it a strike? It's a little off.

Kind of close enough, I think. Up. Iro

turns and looks at him. And then he

looks at Ichro and then he punches him

out. Bam. Right in his face. So, Ichro

says, "It was over here, dude. It was

right over there." And he says, "That's

enough of that. You're gone." Let's see

if Icho was right in his assessment.

I've overlaid the two videos. We have

the ball coming in and Iro's bat kind of

if it kept going that way. Yeah, I do

think when it crosses the plate's bat's

behind the plate. When it crosses the

plate, I think it was close enough to be

called a strike. Who knows? When you

watch all three pitches at the same

time, they're similar enough. But when

you watch here, the first pitch, that's

over the plate. The next pitch, a little

further, that catches the edge of the

plate. Andro says a little bit further

and I'm going to be mad. I'll probably

draw a line. I'll be so mad. And if

you're the pitcher, you're like, I'm

just going to keep going further and

further outside to see if he gives it to

me. And he went further outside and they

gave it to him. Good pitching,

not great humping.
