A new lip-reading of Oliver Marmol's recent ejection shows him allegedly telling the ump he needs to '(expletive) retire'
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol did not hold back on this ump.
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected from last Sunday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after he rightfully chirped at home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor after he made another horrible call on a pitch that was clearly a ball.
Bucknor had been terrible in that game and the TV announcers were talking on the broadcast about how one of the managers was going to finally explode on the ump and get ejected.
They turned out to be correct, as Marmol got the boot. But he also got to give Bucknor a piece of his mind in what was a fiery argument between the two.
Now, thanks to Jomboy Media, we are able to see what the two likely said to each other, with Marmol seeming to say that Bucknor should retire.
This whole breakdown is great. There are some bad words, so if that’s not your thing then run for the hills.
That was a tremendous breakdown.
It was also infuriating conduct by the umpire.
Here’s what Marmol had to say about the moment after the game:
