I would agree with your assessment that the drummer is a newbie (at least I hope so).

Personally, I find his above statement somewhat disturbing. I would guess that the vast majority of his ejections are a direct result of his own improper rulings on plays resulting from his woefully inadequate understanding of the proper application of the rules of baseball.

I find that the combination of arrogance (hair trigger on ejections) and ignorance (inadequate knowledge of the rules to properly officiate) makes for a very poor umpire.

What do you think?

Agreed, but ejections are sometimes warranted and must be done. They dont reflect good or bad on an umpire, I think.
