Ejections: Dale Scott (1)
HP Umpire Dale Scott ejected Indians batter Orlando Cabrera for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 8th inning of the Indians-Yankees game. With two out and three on, Cabrera took a 0-2 fastball from Yankees pitcher Amauri Sanit for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located above the knees, but off the outer edge of the plate, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 11-3. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 11-7.
This is Dale Scott (5)'s first ejection of 2011. Dale Scott now has -2 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (0 Previous + 2 MLB + -4 Incorrect Call = -2) Dale Scott was undrafted in 2011.
This is the 68th ejection of 2011. This is the 30th player ejection of 2011. Prior to his ejection, Cabrera was 0-4 in the contest.
Good job by the crew to prevent an all out brawl, but I'm surprised there were no ejections during the bench clearing incident where you have managers yelling at eachother.
Dale Scott has long been chronicaled on this site to give a lot of rope.... BUT when you hit the umpire's toe while drawing a line usually even by Scott you will get run... It was a long night... Full of managers yelling at each other, pitches at hitters and zero ejections until this point.
Scott and Iasoggna both usually do a very good job in calming down any type of escalating situation like this one. Safe to say that with that game going like that from the start, we were not going to see our third straight day without an ejection. Unfortunately, MLB.com found it funny to post an "Oddities video" rather than this ejection occurring with the bases loaded.
This chart can't possibly be right. I was watching the game and they showed the overhead camera, and it sure looked like the pitch got the corner.
