okay, since Tich is a family friend as has been as long as I can remember, I am a little biased. My old man and him used to work Juco ball together, and Tich lives down the street. IMO, all 4 ejections looked EXTREMELY valid. probably restating a bunch of other opinions, but
EJ 1- catcher, or any other player for that matter, jumps up in my face screaming, yelling, gesturing etc.,
must have had onions for dinner.
hes gone.
EJ 2- coach comes out to defend, obviously lost his temper, he was given a longer leash, hes gone too.
EJ 3- Varitek pulled the pitch in. no doubt about it. might have at least issued beckett a warning, but the instant varitek turns around, buhbye now.
EJ 4- Francona gets in my face, gone.
All four looked extremely legit, and I would back him on them in a heartbeat, as would most of you, and especially if you were working the game with him. Hands down, regardless of missed calls, the ejections were warranted. way to go tich
