The call is now correct.<br /><br />After review, including examination of the real-time play, replays, and alternate angles, the decision of confirming the original Quality of Correctness was made. Rule 6.e.iii.d. further declares that the argued call(s) during an at bat must be against the ejected person (or his team) and this call must have realistically resulted in a different outcome of the individual at bat. The challenged call was not against the ejected person (or his team) and therefore is ineligible for challenge.<br /><br />Furthermore, this ejection is not subject to a Balls/Strikes Exemption under Rule 6.e.iv. In terms of consistency, the UEFL is dedicated to the objective analysis of calls that result in ejection with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game... in that order. When it comes to consistency, that shifts attention away from objectivity and more towards subjectivity, which we try to avoid here. Objectivity means we analyze singular plays (unless granted a B/S Exemption), and generally, each on its own merits; it is contrary to the spirit and mission of the UEFL to revisit an umpire's performance during multiple innings. Consistency is a variable that cannot be objectified (at least not as it relates to ejection resulting from perceived inconsistency), parameters cannot clearly be defined or even identified, and for that reason, consistency over multiple innings or at bats does not factor into the decision making process.<br /><br />Accordingly, the UEFL does not fault umpires for 1) incorrect calls which are not the subject of argument, 2) incorrect calls which are in favor of the ejected person's team, and 3) incorrect calls (in the case of post-at bat ejections) which have not realistically resulted in a different outcome of the individual at bat.<br /><br />Denied.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-37636328349639806072011-07-18T11:19:11.850-07:002011-07-18T11:19:11.850-07:00Why would you challenge this.

It's hard to take the strike two as "correct" when ball three is "incorrect". I think this league does not take one thing into consideration, consistancy. I'm be willing to bet that if both ball three and strike two had been called consistantly one way or another this ejection would not have happened. Looking back through the game this one strike call was the lowest strike called in the game, in the normalized view, by a couple of inches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-23261274283691613982011-07-17T21:51:57.414-07:002011-07-17T21:51:57.414-07:00Anonymous,

The two incorrect call ejections were both crewmate ejections, Joe West (1), where Paul Schrieber was the calling umpire and Jerry Layne (2), where Bob Davidson was the calling umpire.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-38618313810355991282011-07-17T21:25:26.055-07:002011-07-17T21:25:26.055-07:00Has Mills been right on any of his ejections this ...Has Mills been right on any of his ejections this year?

I had friends who watched, and felt like Cooper might have been low all night. I imagine I'll look at the Brooks box for the whole game later.<br /><br />While Mills certainly has a right to a ton of frustration with his team, he should keep it focussed there, where it belongs.Jon Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536926849992961224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-24565770920550827322011-07-17T17:32:16.809-07:002011-07-17T17:32:16.809-07:00Video link
