Ejection 078: Mike DiMuro (2)
3B Umpire Mike DiMuro ejected Indians third baseman Jack Hannahan for unsportsmanlike conduct in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Indians-Yankees game. With two out and one on in the top of the 7th, Hannahan hit a 1-2 fastball from Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes to left fielder Dewayne Wise, who was ruled to have caught a ball while tumbling into the stands to end the half inning. Though replays indicate the catch was never made (indeed a fan several seats away from where Wise landed came up with the loose ball), this call is irrecusable under UEFL Rule 6-2-b-5.* At the time of the ejection, the Yankees were leading, 5-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 6-4.
This is Mike DiMuro (16)'s second ejection of 2012.
Mike DiMuro now has 6 points in the UEFL (4 Previous + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call = 6).
Crew Chief Tom Hallion now has 1 point in the UEFL's Crew Division (0 Previous + 1 Irrecusable = 1).
*After review, Reason for Ejection has been affirmed in a 5-1 decision by the UEFL Appeals Board.
*Historical UEFL Appeals Board decisions may be consulted via the UEFL Portal.*
UEFL Standings Update
This is the 78th ejection of 2012.
This is the 30th player ejection of 2012.
This is the Indians' fifth ejection of 2012, 2nd in the AL Central (DET 7; CWS, MIN 4; KC 3).
This is Jack Hannahan's first ejection since April 14 (Gary Darling; QOC = Irrecusable [Fighting]).
This is Mike DiMuro's first ejection since April 8 (Bruce Bochy; QOC = Correct).
On May 9, 2011, DiMuro also ejected Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe and Mattingly for arguing a previous call.
Because of the nature of this call, DiMuro spoke with a pool reporter after the game.
"Now that I see the tape it's obvious that the ball fell out of his glove. In hindsight, I should have asked him to show me the ball since he fell into the stands and out of my line of vision. [In the 8th, Hannahan] told me to reference the tape replay and that is why I ejected him."
This mea culpa is not to be confused with an apology, such as the one given by Tim Welke after his big miss.
