You do understand that Jeff's actions never changed during your thought process? I think that really speaks volumes as to how you form your sometimes interesting opinions. On your own you were unable to place yourself in similar shoes, you were unable to have insight into the situation at hand. It was anothers opinion that gave you, your own.

Taking it easy on the profanity would have gone a long way here.

Attempting to explain why an umpire makes the calls he makes and trying to figure out why he missed them is not "defending". Attempting to explain whether or not the player's actions were worthy of an ejection is not "defending".<br /><br />And regarding arguing, the rule book allows the umpire to eject any player, manager, or coach for arguing a judgement call of any sort. So yes, you can argue balls and strikes. Until you're told not to. Then you can't.<br /><br />And how is baseball the only sport where the officials have the authority to control the outcome of the game?

I think he will have at least 2-3 more ejections this season. There are playoff chases coming up and coaches and players will start to get more fired up and say the wrong things and Joe West will have none of it.<br /><br />As for your second question, I am most surprised about Guccione and Fletcher. Gooch usually wil only have about 2-3 ejections per year but can usually get pretty riled up during those arguments. I am surprised about Fletcher because he usually has around 4 ejections per season and he is on West's crew. <br /><br />I will add a third question of my own. Who has more ejctions than you thought they would? My answer to that is Tschida with 4 and Gorman with 2. Those 2 surprise me the most.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077541258320019256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-17145350242359838062012-08-10T13:16:15.815-07:002012-08-10T13:16:15.815-07:00Also, of the umps that are ejection-less to this p...Also, of the umps that are ejection-less to this point, which is the most surprising?

Clevenger yelling at the umpire is not the way to do that. If the crowd mic pics up what you're saying you're not being respectful AND you're disputing balls and strikes. EASY ej. <br /><br />On the other hand you can do both and nobody in the park knows what you're saying he'd have still been in the game. There was a time when a batter would NEVER turn his head around to talk to an umpire but rather look down or towards the pitcher. Pretty simple from a professional perspective to not let this go on. Good to see there are still some MLB umpires with a backbone after watching Naurt and Welke the past few days.tmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801025280017627526noreply@blogger.com
