Ejections 093, 094: D.J. Reyburn (4, 5)

2B Umpire D.J. Reyburn ejected Royals SS Alcides Escobar and Manager Ned Yost for Unsportsmanlike-NEC (repeat visit argument) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Twins-Royals game. In the bottom of the 7th inning with two out and two on, Escobar hit a 1-0 slider from Twins pitcher Tyler Robertson to shortstop Brian Dozier who threw to second baseman Alexi Casilla to force out Royals baserunner R1 Chris Getz at second base. Though replays indicate Getz arrived at second base prior to the catch, the ejection occured two innings later and significantly after the call had already been argued, the call is irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Twins were leading, 7-3. The Twins ultimately won the contest, 7-5.

Foot on base, ball not in glove

  1. Off topic, but a rough day at first base for DiMuro in Dodgers-Mets. Off on about five calls in a 12-inning game, three of which helped the Mets (including a double down the line that appeared foul). Mattingly almost got tossed after he ruled first baseman came off bag for a throw. Replay didn't have a good angle on that one, but Mattingly saw something from his view in the dugout.

  2. Mattingly should have gotten tossed. Not only for my prop predictions, but because that call was pretty poor.

  3. Tough call for a second base umpire, he was completely straightlined out of the play and had to guess. Unfortunately, the guess was wrong.

  4. Reyburn needs to keep his yap shut once the crew chief intercedes and starts backing Yost away. I think it makes the professional demeanor appear to be dubious when a coach is yelling, the umpire is silent, and THEN decides to start yelling from behind his colleagues...

  6. How many games has Reyburn worked this year? seems like he's racking up a pretty impressive ejections:games umpired ratio so far.

    Hope he enjoys AAA!

  10. Brutal. I'm surprised he didn't take a dive when Yost yoked him.

  11. @4:16, are you kidding me? That's not how Daniel Reyburn rolls. Daniel does keep his mouth shut until people get between him and the manager or player. Then, when it's safe, his mouth starts writing checks for the crew chief to cash. Daniel learned not to talk trash without protection in the Dominican League, where he was knocked down by a gust of wind from a punch that never landed.

    Good for Yost, as he appears to have Daniel's number. He is thin-skinned to the extreme. Yost's theatrical mirrored ejection mechanic will drive an umpire like Daniel crazy.

  12. I'm impressed with this forum. Nobody has complained about a bad call being a good ejection a couple of innings later. Maybe there is hope for all of us :)
    Speaking of hope...and the Oscar goes to Ned Yost, for his leading role in "Impersonation of a Bad Umpire!" Way to give him the hook, Ned. Good thing for my Twinkies that he didn't do it in the 7th or the Royals may have been able to complete the comeback.

  13. Ok for you young umpires please do not fold your arms after an ejection it looks confrontational... I'm not really impressed by DJ's style and judging by the late arrival of Kellog I'm guessing that they wanted to let him wear it a little out there.

  15. Deejay may still be shellshocked from the massive blunt force trauma he suffered when JO pretended to hit him. That was a pretty hard lick he never took so cut him some slack. JO is such a badass that even when he throws a punch and misses by a foot, the energy waves travel through the air and coldcock the intended target.

    Jose Offerman. He's the new Chuck Norris.

    Deejay is a joke.

  16. Has anyone else noticed that several of the recent ejections have involved people named Dan or Daniel?

    Daniel Reyburn (Ejections 86, 93, 94), Dan Warthen (Ejection 88), Dan Bellino (Ejection 89), and Dan Iassogna (Ejection 91).
