Umpire makes a terrible call then threatens to eject the player, a breakdown

two outs and the count is 00. That's all

the information you need. Frammer Valdez

on the bump. He's returning from

suspension. Watch the previous video if

you want to see like what was that for.

First pitch, curveball in there. Next

pitch, listen in.

>> That's a strike

challenge. No. Yeah, Batty. He said, "I

didn't challenge." He started to go to

his head, then he said, "I didn't

challenge the pitch."

>> OH BOY.

>> OH BOY. Is right. He never touched his

helmet. Of that, we are certain. And the

pitch is a strike. Maybe the umpire just

wanted to brag a little bit. Make sure

everyone knows how good I am. Let's

listen to the hot mics again.

>> Pitch is a strike. The Mets have

exhausted their challenges.

>> The Mets are out of challenges now. So,

it didn't really affect the at bat, but

they have no challenges left. And that

could hurt him in a close game in the

sixth inning.

>> Oh man, that's the end of it. He didn't

touch.

>> No, I didn't. Junior

>> touch his head. Andy,

>> he didn't tap. Manager of the Mets.

Mendy comes out. Triple M. He No, he did

not. The umpire, I think what he says

here is something along the lines of,

"Well, it looked like to me his hand

went to his helmet. I saw it. I put in a

challenge." He did not tap his helmet,

though. Come on. And Brett Ba's like,

"What are you talking about, dude? My

hand went up, but I didn't tap." He's

like, "Well, I saw him go up." Well,

that's though. Well, that's

He did not do that. Come on.

It's ridiculous.

And when he gets back, Brett Batty hot

mics again. His back is towards us. You

can hear him say, "I touched my

>> Did I touch my helmet, though?" Because

I think what he's saying is, "Yes, sure,

my hand went towards my head, but I

didn't touch my helmet." And the umpire

says back to him, "Go toward your

helmet." That's what I saw.

>> Stop right now or I'm going to run you.

That's what he said. Okay. It's as

simple as that. Your hand went towards

your helmet. Did you touch your helmet?

No. What? I'm just going to allow

players to just throw their hand up and

hover it there. Make me pay attention

like crazy. No way. Let's look at the

replay. Here it is. Borderline pitch

right there. The hand flashes up as he

turns and then he's looks back. Was he

about to tap? What do you guys think?

You guys think that that was his

intention? Like he started the tap and

realized, "Nah, I shouldn't." Huh? Did

he? I don't know. Sure looks like it.

That's what Junior Valentine the saw.

But get your detective eyes on and watch

what happens next. We're super duper

snoo. Did you see it? first class

private eye. His hand went to his helmet

on the very next pitch. And this was the

first pitch of the atbat and the hand

goes to the helmet. And then this is the

second pitch of the bat. The hand

doesn't touch the helmet, but he gets

called for tapping. And this is the next

pitch and it goes straight to the

helmet. So what gives? Are helmet

adjusters just going to have to figure

it out? Was he going to tap and then

realize he didn't want to tap, proving

the umpire, well, not right, but proving

him right in his world. Or was he going

to adjust his helmet like the other

times and the umpire was just on the

defensive and also wanted to show off

that he got the call correct? What do

you guys think? Do helmet adjusters have

to be on high alert? Huh? I don't know.

I don't know. They should clean this up.

This shouldn't be something we deal

with. Thank you for solving the mystery
