As such, perhaps a parting-of-the-ways is ineluctably necessary.

Umpire Jerry Layne's Crew
Of the 199 MLB ejections in 2011, Jerry Layne and crewmates Bob Davidson, Hunter Wendelstedt and Brian Knight accounted for 26, or 13 percent—8 for Davidson, 8 for Wendelstedt, 6 for Knight and 4 for Layne. With 17 umpire crews, the average crew administered just 11-12 ejections, meaning Layne's crew ejected twice as much as the ordinary crew. By comparison, Joe West's crew barely scratched the 20 ejection mark.
As such, perhaps a parting-of-the-ways is ineluctably necessary.

Didn't you do this once by making a post in which Joe West had about six ejections?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. The precise "casualties" were:
ReplyDeleteRed Sox DH David Ortiz (called third strike)
Red Sox 3B Mike Lowell (check swing)
Orioles SS Cesar Izturis (out)
Red Sox 1B Kevin Youkillis (called second strike)
Red Sox Manager Terry Francona (called second strike)
Orioles C Caleb Joseph (safe)
Ejections: Joe West (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
I can't wait for the first regular-season ejection of the year!
