Actually, I have to admit that Fukodome has an excellent eye, because those first two pitches were clearly balls. I have seen MLB players throw tantrums for a lot less.

I thought that last pitch was a strike. At least too close to take.

And the video of him hitting that home run was a meatball, slow pitch lob league.
I could hit that one. No wonder Japanese hitters don’t hit for power in the major leagues.

I am a lifetime Dragons fan, and as I wrote in BCB, this is a famous scene as known as one of the worst judgements in Japanese baseball history.

And I also note that this is the ONLY scene that Dome showed that kind of attitude against ump in last 9 years as a Dragon.

That would be #44, Tyrone Woods. And yes, he can hit. Papi-style.
Never made it to the bigs, and I’m rather surprised. Last season in Japan, he hit .312 with 47 HRs.
Guy can play… at least in Japan. Getting on in age now tho’…

Pretty weak tantrum, but more importantly is the guy that hits behind him any good? He looks like he could crush the ball Big Papi style.

To be fair, pretty old clip guys.
Fukudome spent the latter half of the season injured.
And he is considered the best player on his team – the Chunichi Dragons (yes, of Mr. Baseball fame), and they won the Japan Series.
Without him.
