Polls: Ejection Rate

A quiet week: Umpire fantasy or simply par for the course? Since Ejections: Chad Fairchild (3, 4), Ejections: Eric Cooper (1) & Ejections: Mike Muchlinski (3) last Sunday, we haven't seen any ejections at the MLB level. *EDIT: No sooner did we post this poll, we noticed a late ejection addition in last night's A's-Yankees contest. The ejection of A's Batting Coach Gerald Perry by HP Umpire Marty Foster was not listed in the box score as of 5am this morning... it since has been added and our write-up will follow shortly.* That makes 32 33 ejections since July 1 (remember the news outlets' predictions for July ejections topping 70? The UEFL still stands by our prediction in the 42 range). Still, a week without ejections allows us to visit discussions and put out a case play. It also coincides nicely with the end of our most recent poll regarding your All-Star Umpiring Crews. This week, we'll ask about your own personal ejection rate.

Previous Poll (All-Star Umpiring Crew) Results: Our previous poll, Polls: All-Star Umpires, asked who you would place on your personal All-Star crew. Combining your votes on the blog and on our Facebook page, we see a mix of popular umpires making appearances. Based solely on vote count, here is the UEFL All-Star Umpiring Crew as decided by you (Total Votes: 333):

• HP: Jim Joyce -cc - 45% - Joyce has a good reputation as honorable & decent around these parts; that surely helped him secure the top spot.
• 1B: Jim Wolf - 42% - Wolf has surely grown popular through his work ethic, calm demeanor, and dedication to the job.
• 2B: Tim McClelland - 35% - The reliable veteran, McClelland has persisted in baseball as a quiet umpire who simply goes to work and gets the job done.
• 3B: Ted Barrett - 26% - The personable Barrett is admired and revered for his conduct and attitude on the field; he is often seen as a peacemaker.
• LF: Tim Tschida - 25% - Tschida has been there, done that throughout his career, and maintains his respect through the present day.
• RF: Dale Scott - 25% - Scott, like Joyce, had a late surge of voting contribute to his placement on this crew; perhaps his real-life All-Star performance reminded some voters of his ability. 

Also receiving votes, and named as alternates, were: HP: Jeff Nelson (21%), 1B: Alfonso Marquez (21%), 2B: Gerry Davis (20%), 3B: Dan Iassogna (19%), LF: Mark Wegner (18%), RF: Tom Hallion (18%). Second alternates were: HP: John Hirschbeck (16%), 1B: Ed Hickox (15%), 2B: Joe West (15%), 3B: Brian O'Nora (15%), LF: Angel Hernandez (12%), RF: Dana DeMuth (11%)

Current Poll: In your best estimation, what is your personal ejection rate? Open for discussion: is there a trend to eject more/less in a certain level of ball? Is there a trend to eject more/less during a certain part of one's umpiring career?

When you umpire, what is your average ejection rate?
