Now that many Umpire Fantasy observers have speculated about the circumstances surrounding Ejections: Hunter Wendelstedt (1, 2), we turn to the man in the middle himself. Hunter Wendelstedt recently sat down with MLB Network Radio to discuss the incident in question, wherein he ejected Angels pitcher Jered Weaver and Manager Mike Scioscia for throwing at Tigers batter Alex Avila last week in an apparent response to what Weaver (and many UEFL'ers, too) perceived as inappropriate posturing on the part of Carlos Guillen after Guillen hit a home run off Weaver. Wendelstedt had warned both teams immediately following the Guillen HR, but Weaver was ejected for throwing at the head of Avila on the very next pitch.
