Batter draws line for umpire.

Definitely a shit call by the ump... but you don't do that to an ump. You're just asking to either get tossed or get really shitty calls for your team.
His little hissy fit with the bat was super cute though.

Bad call, kid is a bitch, everyone loses.

why did that seem staged to me? I mean the bat breaking at the end looked like they were trying to do a reenactment..

Regardless you don't do that to an umpire, even-though it was a ball but it's where it crosses the plate not where the catcher catches it

It was not the 3rd strike. Watch the SS and base runner. But it was 3rd out because people were coming in after the out. Why complain about a strike that wasn't a 3rd strike?

Well, yeah, but that kid belongs in the majors if he's got that much late movement.

Looks staged because the bat-breaking and the strike call didn't happen at the same time. Umpire doesn't ring the batter up, just calls a bad strike.

Maybe the bat-breaking happened in the prior AB, and he rose a stink about the call in his next AB. I'm guessing that is the case. Umpire wasn't happy about dudebro breaking his bat, and decided to pay him back with a bad strike call.

Typical umpire that thinks the show is about him. If you don't tell him he made a bad call, how is he ever gonna learn and correct himself? Titty baby can't handle constructive criticism.

But then again, I've always had issues with authority, and I'm pretty sure I lead the rec league in ejections pretty much every year I played(from t-ball until 19)

no.. I think the umpire just got fouled by the movement of the ball. I am thinking the breaking of the bat was after that AB where he was called for a strike and then thrown out

Generic "strike" call on that pitch. Plus, ump took his mask off to run the guy. He has his mask on in the frame where kid broke his bat. Ump wouldn't have put his mask back on if it was strike three, out three.
