Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, Friday Night Lolcow, Presenting Doug Eddings: The fashion cop of Coors Field.
We got another episode of Ump Show 2026! Last night the Cardinals and the Rockies were playing. Cardinals are ahead 4-2 in the 6th and called up a 22-year old pitcher named Hancel Rincón who made his actual MLB debut. He takes the mound, and all hell breaks loose, for different reasons.
But wait! Here comes the professional party pooper, Doug Eddings. During an at bat with 1 one out and 2-0, Eddings stops the game to order the pitcher to straighten his cap. He literally told the Cardinals dugout that the kid was "not gonna wear his hat like that on my field".
First of all Doug, last time anyone checked the GPS, this is Coors Field, not your fuckin backyard baseball field. Second and most importantly: THERE IS NO RULE IN THE MLB RULEBOOK DICTACTING THE EXACT ANGLE OF A FUCKIN PITCHER'S CAP.
The Cardinals manager stormed right up into Doug's face to defend his rookie from the power trip, and gets a pitch clock violation once the umpire threw a temper tantrum. By proving Marmols point, he throws him out of the game.
Cardinals would end up winning the game 7-6 after another fuck up by the umpire that tied the game before Ivan Herrera nuked the ball in the 9th.
Coach don't lie I guess.
