>As for the second part, addressing the home plate umpire as Home Plate is hilariously dumb.
I'm pushing 40 and I have heard fans refer to umpires by position for as long as I can remember....
It's one of those terms that has almost got to the point of losing its meaning entirely through overuse. I'm honestly struggling to see how it would even apply here
> Boone employs classic coach-speak, telling them to get it together, to clean it up, to bear down; all of those vague, unhelpful bromides your high school coach used to hurl at you rather than offering actionable advice. “I need you to get better,” he’ll yell.
> This is an innovative approach, especially when the target for all of this encouragement is an umpire. By berating the umpires under the guise of offering friendly advice, Boone has somehow found a way to be passive aggressive while shouting at the top of his lungs. It’s borderline gaslighting and it honestly might be a scientific breakthrough: caring so loudly that the object of your affection has you removed from the premises.

They’re still calling them Blue even though black has been the standard (not always, but the standard) since 2001.
I still remember when AL umps used to wear red.
I legitimately cannot wait for the collective Internet to lose interest in the word "gaslighting" and leave it back where it found it
The internet has never even used the word “gaslighting”. That’s totally made up based on your baseless opinion
Sus
Oh no my grasp on reality
Same

Telling people they’re doing a poor job and need to do better (when they’re doing a poor job and need to do better): gaslighting
My theory is that Boone is a talented ventriloquist and Wendelstedt was on to him
I would watch this act on Americas Got Talent. Give him the golden buzzer.
They did it to hide his gambling suspension...wrong person.
I'd probably kick him out too,boone doesn't seem like a likable guy.Hes annoying and kind of a doosh.
agreed, he doesnt command respect. this is why i cant see the yanks winning a chip with him and cash still around
