Madison Bumgarner was the latest loser in an unintentionally comedic episode of 'The Ump Show.' But what if he was also a main character in the steamy umpire fan fiction “Fifty Shades of MadBum”? Wonder no more...
, who started the game for the D-backs, was ejected after the first inning by first base umpire Dan Bellino during what should have been a routine sticky stuff inspection. It was a puzzling scene. It’s immediately clear upon watching the clip of the ejection that MadBum wasn’t tossed for cheating. He simply had. Which absolutely checks out. After all, this is Bumgarner, the oldest 32-year-old pitcher the game has ever known. But there was more to the ejection than that.
The video he’s talking about is actually multiple video clips, which show the interaction from different camera angles. In one of them is a closeup of the foreign substance check. It captures Bellino feeling MadBum’s hand for the better part of 30 seconds and staring at him. When the umpire finally lets go, Bumgarner says something about how long it took for Bellino to see his hand and begins to walk away, and Bellino promptly ejects him.
. MadBum and several other Diamondbacks started walking off the field before Wills called the pitch a ball.This interpretation of the situation is almost certainly the correct one. And yes, Bellino should have to answer for being an insecure whiner-baby, especially because he wasn’t even the one who made the ball call that Bumgarner disagreed with; in fact, Bellino wasn’t involved at all.
With that, I’d like to present an alternative reading of what led to the ejection. Consider it my debut entry in the soon-to-be popular baseball literature subgenre: The Ump Show Fan Fiction.
