Rome Braves Manager Moves the Base Lines in Just a Tad

A fantastic explosion by Rome Braves manager Randy Ingle (via Augusta Blogs):

Props to Sid Bream's Moustache for pointing this out, and refrencing Phil Wellman's blowup several years ago. It's good to know that our minor league managers are passionate about their teams.

Kennelly looks so awkward there

he gets like cut off by the argument from retreating to the dugout so he’s just walking around the no-man’s land between home and the pitcher’s mound.

Reason why i love this..

a deaf man man who understood baseball could tell what he was arguing whenever he moved the bag in and signaled foul.

I wish...

Bobby would pull some shit like this to fire up our boys

He might "fire them up..."

And spend the next week suspended.

Im not so sure that would be a bad thing...

Yes, because we'd be better off with a Hall of Fame manager.

Chino would be an upgrade, no question.

Thats not what I mean

I just mean that if the loss of Bobby for a few games jump starts this team, if fine with that.

I'd rather let some solid play be the jump-start, myself.

That moment at 0:36

It’s basically the go-to move of any guy who’s been ejected while looking for it. You dance around in front of the ump, and then bend over and yell up at his face.

lol

…please, god, should you ever again send to this lonely world a braves minor league manager exploding dramatically in front of two thousand people, let me be one of those rosy souls. fantastic.

as great as this is… still doesn’t come close to wellman’s good work. the man did a rosin bag grenade toss from a battle crawl position for nut’s sake.

Ingle is awesome. The dude’s been in the game 30 years and he’s a pro. You can see that here with his awesome illustration of how badly the ump missed the foul call and then he follows it up by offering the guy his glasses on his way out. Consummate professional.

Ha...

I’m kind of confused by your tone here, but it was a very effective little rant.

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb
