Norfolk Tides Manager Gary Allenson in Crazy Ejection

I kinda feel for the coach - you’d think there would be at least one baseball up there. Imagine that sinking feeling as he looks around and can’t find one.

I was at this game! Still my greatest memory at a baseball game. A complete gem of an ejection. God bless you, Mr. Allenson, and thanks for the memories.

Lost in this is announcer: "It is now a 7-4 game. Make that 8-5." Well that's great that a HR is points to both sides. lol

If I were the ump, I woulda said, upon manager Allenson's return to the field, "and how many balls did you find out there coach"?

It's delays like these that give an opportunity to refill my beer. Thanks mr allenson.

I like how these annoucers say the umpire has a quick ejections last time. and yet he didn't do it quick enough.. good god...

I love how Bye Bye Bye starts playing as he exits the field. Coincidence?

If i had been the ump, the only words out of my mouth after the ejection would have been "Get the fuck off of the field."

man, all six of those fans at that game really got to see a crazy ejection

Here’s what should happen. Simply replace the “bicycle rack” with a solid wall, which will remove all doubt as to which side the ball landed on. This is a bit like some of the snow fences I used to have to deal with when umpiring. With a solid wall, if the ball goes over, you clearly see the ball disappear. Or you see it land in front. But when you have a wall like this, or a snow fence (which has all kinds of holes in it), it’s very difficult to tell whether the ball lands behind the wall, or lands in front, and bounces over it. Umpires don’t have zoom lenses in our eyes.

That is a horribly designed ballpark.

Cool stadium, be awesome to have one of those apartments

Allenson was just as fiery when he caught for the Red Sox. We loved him.

This whole thing could’ve been diverted. If one of the empires just would’ve hustled out there as soon as the outfielder put his 🙌 up and look behind the pad

What ever happened to the rule where a coach/manager has a certain amount of time to leave the field before a forfeit is called against him?

@trudybom Ground rules in that stadium require the ball to cross over the yellow rail. It didn't, as you can clearly see on the slow-motion, the ball passes in front of the yellow rail. That makes it a double.

That's OK. Gary had to get in his walk for the day.

This is the way a lot of arguments are: 8 minutes of arguing and one person is clearly flat out wrong

Coach looked like Mike Lindell lookin for the evidence! Keep lookin, Coach!

Wow! That's a real nice park.
