"Just curious, how many EJ's this year?..last year??"

As I have stated many times before the simple number of ejections an umpire has little to no bearing on his game management or ability.
If you had asked: "On your ejections during the last two season have any been deemed 'unnecessary' by your assigner or executive board?"
There are far more problem with umpires that fail to eject than umpires that do eject.
Tuss's major problem may lie in the fact that he is considered 'very' young to work at the level he has attained. It matters not if he is average, good or great it is the perception that young umpires are cocky.
Trust me: The Portland Baseball Umpires Association would welcome Tuss with open arms.
