MLB Ejection 033: DJ Reyburn (1; Bob Melvin)

1B Umpire DJ Reyburn ejected Oakland Athletics Manager Bob Melvin for arguing an out call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Rangers-A's game. With two out and one on, A's batter Daric Barton hit a 2-2 fastball from Rangers pitcher Tanner Scheppers on the ground to shortstop Elvis Andrus who threw to first baseman Mitch Moreland, Barton ruled out at first. Replays are indicate the baseball entered Moreland's glove scarcely
Melvin points to the door and so does DJ.
prior to Barton's left foot contacting first base, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 4-4. The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 6-5, in 10 innings.

This is DJ Reyburn (70)'s first ejection of 2013.
DJ Reyburn now has 5 points in the UEFL (0 + 3 AAA + 2 Y = 5).
Crew Chief Kerwin Danley now has 1 point in the Crew Division (0 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 1).

This is the 33rd ejection of 2013.
This is the 15th Manager ejection of 2013.
This is the Athletics' 4th ejection of 2013, 1st in the AL West (OAK 4; HOU, LAA, SEA, TEX 0)
This is Bob Melvin's MLB-leading 3rd ejection of 2013; 1st since May 8 (Angel Hernandez; QOC = N).
This is DJ Reyburn's first ejection since July 22, 2012 (Alcides Escobar/Ned Yost; QOC = U).

Wrap: Texas Rangers vs. Oakland Athletics, 5/14/13

    I think he knew for sure he got it right, based on the way he dealt with Melvin. That's a dandy of a call, right there! Good on ya', DJ.

    You lost me, "Guest". The runner is CLEARLY out (even the announcers acknowledge that after the replay). In fact, it's not even as close as it appears. OUT.

    Don't think anyone has ever questioned Reyburn's ability to umpire -- moreso just his ability to handle situations. Nice call here.

    ... and how he "big leagues" other guys off the field - calling fellow umpires "Plumbers" - what a DB! See you in NCAA ball soon... and just hope you don't get me as your crew chief

    Great call by DJ and he handled the situation very well. Concerned he threw his shoulder out when ejecting Melvin. :)

    Someone is jealous that they're not working MLB games....

    Jealous??? Hardly. I'm perfectly fine with my wife, two kids, a career w/ nearly six figure income and still umpiring at a fairly high level. Oh, did I mention sleeping in my own bed and spending the entire year with family.
    Anyways, this is not about who officiates what... it's about how you treat people. I think its great that DJ is working MLB games but why do you have to shove it up people's a$$?
