Cameras caught Skip Schumaker’s classy, NSFW reason for not walking Shohei Ohtani before his 50-50

This sure looked like a classy move by the Marlins manager.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani recording the MLB’s first 50-50 in league history will understandably draw all the attention out of the team’s Thursday game in Miami against the Marlins.

Ohtani landing 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season is just mind-boggling to think about, and even Marlins manager Skip Schumaker wasn’t about to let the moment pass the MLB by.

Rather than having the pitcher walk Ohtani during his at-bat, the broadcast showed Schumaker mouthing what certainly looked like: “[Expletive] that. Too much respect for this guy for that [expletive] to happen.”

The broadcast even noticed the f-bomb during Schumaker’s honorable decision, one that shows what class the Marlins manager has and how much respect Ohtani has across the sport.
