I think the ejection was warranted if Bobby truly was arguing balls and strikes. If Bobby was coming out to see what kind of beef Guccione had with Carlyle, that was a mighty quick hook. I'm a Braves fan, and judging by Bobby's motions and gestures during the argument, that the strike zone topic didn't come up until well after he had been ejected. Bobby is a manager who will fight for his players. I think thats what was happening. He saw an umpire go after his player, and he wanted to know why.
Was it a good call?
I'm not one to make that determination.
As an umpire, I'm not going to say whether or not I would have ejected him because none of us really can tell without actually being in the situation at that moment.

After 141 ejections, he gets what he has coming to him.

Bobby was warned not to come out. He came out. He was ejected.

That's not quick, that's efficient.

I'm a Braves fan,
