It was a very bad call, but banging your bat on the dugout is obnoxious.
I had a hard time finding video because every NY video of course made it all about the umpire.

I think each one of these stories moves us closer to the robo ump calling balls/strikes. Umpires make too many mistakes, hold grudges against players/teams/managers and are too sensitive (quick ejections) when they make mistakes. In fairness, I do think managers go overboard in their theatrics to demonstrate how they stick up for their players.

Gardner is the worst of the bunch for me. It wasn't even his at bat and he's going to start banging shit in the dugout? Hit the showers until you can be a professional, pretty boy.

Fuck the Yankees. They act like bitches. They aren't the only team that get bad calls.

All of the above. Gardner seems like an absolute jackass, and of course fuck the Yankees. They are always entitled pricks. The umps are way too quick with hooks these days too.

Pretty much this.

Gardner seems like a petty bald fuck that throws tantrums like a 5 year old.
