You Wanna Get Tossed? How to EARN an Ejection in MLB the Show 23
Let's face it, folks, sometimes the only satisfaction stronger than a walk-off homer is a good old-fashioned ejection. You know the feeling: the umpire's call is worse than a dropped fly ball by a hungover outfielder, your blood pressure's about to burst a pipe, and it's time to LET THE FIRE SPIT. But hold on there, fiery pitching coach, before you hurl your controller at the wall (we've all been there), MLB the Show 23 doesn't exactly have an "Ejection Emporium" setting. Fear not, though, because getting yourself ejected is absolutely possible, and, dare we say, hilarious (although your virtual manager might disagree).

Throwing Shade (and Fastballs)
The key to getting tossed lies in the fine art of the strategic tantrum. Here's your playbook:
Become a Beanball Virtuoso: Nobody likes a high-and-tight fastball aimed at the batter's earlobe, and the umpires are no exception. Consistently brush back batters with a few errant heaters, and you'll be seeing the umpire wag his finger with increasing frustration. Just remember, this is a video game, so don't go Donnie Baseball and actually injure anyone (virtually or otherwise).
Master the Art of Sarcasm: Let's be honest, yelling obscenities at the ump isn't exactly an option in MLB the Show (gotta keep that E rating, you know?). But that doesn't mean you can't unleash your inner Ricky Gervais. A well-timed, sarcastic remark about the umpire's eyesight (think "That pitch was further outside the zone than a lost sock in a dryer!") can do wonders in escalating the situation.
Remember: Patience is key. Don't go full meltdown after one bad call. Chip away at the umpire's sanity with a sprinkle of beanballs and a dash of witty barbs.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
The Ejection Epiphany
If you've followed these steps religiously and the umpire seems blissfully unaware of your simmering rage, well, my friend, you might be out of luck. Ejections in MLB the Show are a bit more random than a knuckleball. The umpires have a built-in tolerance meter, and it takes some doing to fill it all the way up. But keep at it, and eventually, you'll be rewarded with the glorious sight of your manager getting tossed (virtually, of course).
Pro Tip: If you're really struggling to get ejected, consider lowering the pitching difficulty. A less-skilled pitcher might just accidentally plunk a batter a little more often, which can help expedite the process.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
