Umpire has no idea who he ejected, a breakdown
What Happened
In a surprising moment during a game between the Miami Marlins and the Detroit Tigers, the home plate umpire has a bizarre exchange with the Marlins' bench. The umpire, named Ben, ejects someone from the Marlins' dugout, but he has no idea who he ejected. The sequence starts with the umpire calling a couple of borderline strikes on the Marlins batter, who expresses his disagreement. The umpire then turns to the Marlins dugout and tells them to stop yelling. Bench coach Skip Schumacher comes out to try to calm the situation, but the umpire ejects him, shouting "You're done! Out of here!" However, both the umpire and Schumacher are confused, as they turn to each other and ask in unison, "Who?" The umpire clearly has no idea which Marlins player or coach he just ejected. Schumacher, puzzled, starts repeatedly asking "Who? Who? Who?" as the umpire struggles to identify the ejected individual. Marlins manager Dan Jennings then gets involved, trying to help the umpire figure out who he tossed. Jennings suggests the umpire just pick any position player from the Marlins' bench, but Ben the umpire remains clueless. "Whoever said that's low. Pick them. Pick them. Pick them," the umpire says, unable to pinpoint the culprit. Jennings tries to reason with the umpire, saying, "He doesn't know who he tossed, Ben. Ben, who did you toss?" But Ben simply responds, "Any position player. Any position? Whatever. Whoever you f***ing want." The comical exchange continues, with the umpire and both teams unable to determine who was ejected. Eventually, the crew chief steps in and suggests they just eject the Marlins' bench coach Schumacher, since he was the one who approached the umpire initially. "It was actually 'break it up.' That's all it was. It was just 'break it up,'" Schumacher says, but the umpire insists someone has to be ejected per the rules. In the end, the Marlins bench coach takes the fall for the umpire's mistake, in a truly bizarre moment that left everyone involved thoroughly confused.

More on them later.
This one's a bit of a doozy.
Strike one, low.
Batter doesn't like it.
Strike two, kind of the same spot.
Batter doesn't like it again.
Stop.
Umpire's got to tell the dugout.
Stop yelling.
He's over it.
No.
No more.
No more.
You don't want to know?
You don't want to know where it was?
Okay.
And then you got bench coach coming down the line.
Hey, break it up.
Break it up.
Umpire hears that.
F*** out.
You're done.
Out of here.
Who?
I love that.
They both turn their head.
Who?
In unison.
Who got ejected?
And then Skip Schumacher going to turn into an owl.
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who?
Whoever said that's low.
Pick them.
Pick them.
Pick them.
Want me then?
I didn't tell you.
All right then.
Who is it?
It's whoever.
Whoever said that's low.
Who?
Whoever said that's low.
I said no more.
Who was it?
Whoever it was.
You don't even know who you tossed?
You don't know who you tossed, Ben?
Ben, who did you toss?
Any position player.
Any position?
Whatever.
Whoever you f***ing want.
Dan, any position player?
He doesn't know.
You got to send somebody.
I know, but he doesn't know.
He's just tossing anybody.
Who'd you get?
Whoever it f***ing was.
That's who?
That's what we're doing?
Got to pick anybody that said something.
Who?
Tell me.
Somebody's going.
Who?
Just got to pick someone.
Pick somebody.
But if I were to pick somebody, it would probably be your bench coach.
Why?
What?
He wasn't talking?
Yeah, but he happened to say something, and then he walked towards him.
So now somebody's got to go.
So I need somebody.
Guys on the bench?
Me?
No, them.
No, you.
No, me?
No, him.
No, wait, wait, not you.
Me?
Who?
The only one out there was me.
I was the one that kept talking.
It should be him.
You got to go.
But it's not him.
Hey, what are you, just picking somebody?
Dan, nobody said anything.
But he's just covering for me.
He has to say.
So you're just picking somebody?
Bench coach, P-Pay's like, so it's, okay, all right.
But now somebody's got to go.
You were the only one we had to talk to about something.
So you're the one.
You're the one that's got to go.
Okay?
Pick somebody in the dugout.
That is the first time I've ever, I mean, all he's doing is clapping.
This is, this is unbelievable.
It was actually break it up.
Yeah, that's all it was.
It was just break it up.
You know, break it up.
Yeah, but you have to wear it.
Ridiculous.
I cannot believe it.
I can't really believe.
I can't believe it either.
Any position player is insane to not know who you ejected is wild.
But then as they pick any position player and then the crew chief has to come and save your butt and be like, just let's just do the bench coach.
Someone wear it because we ejected someone.
And per the rule, we have to eject someone.
We can't just go back on this.
So that was one of the wilder and more fun lip readings I've done.
