Managers Getting Their Money's Worth

Thomas Bugg · May 27, 2025

I personally find it gratifying seeing a skipper blow his top at umpires. Yes, sometimes the calls are right, but it's still cathartic, and in a lot of instances shows the team that ol skipper has their backs. It can also at times light a fire under said team's rear ends if they're having a lackluster performance. So what are some of your favorite crashout moments from managers?

my favorite player growing up was Ryne Sandberg. i was enamored with his 2B playing.

later, he became a coach for the AAA Iowa Cubs. I got to see them play during this time. i don't remember the reason, but he came out and argued with the home plate umpire. Threw his cap on the ground, wild arm gestures, kicked dirt, all that noise. It was my highlight of the game.

I couldn't find that ejection, but I did find this one from when he was skipper for the Knoxville Smokies, and he's really giving it to Blue here
