Jermaine Dye & Mike DiMuro

Not sure if anybody else saw this ejection from today's Indians/White Sox game.

I couldnt believe the helmet hit DiMuro right in the stomach. Im curious what the suspension ends up being. Hopefully it is a big one.

Why should it be a big one? The helmet took a weird bounce, right into the umpire. Dye didn't appear to intentionally throw it at him.

Great pitch.

Because the big jack@$$ threw it back at HP as he walked away. No one there except the umpire & F2 to hit. No excuse in the world for this one, Dye knew exactly what he was doing.

[UMP25]

Oh, wait! The umpire must've baited him.

[JR12]

He intentionally threw it behind him. I think 5 games would be in order. What was wrong with that pitch???

[johnnyg08]

What was wrong with the pitch was that he was probably looking for something off speed or middle/out...a great pitcher's pitch. I've seen Dye hit a bunch of bombs off of that pitch...great pitch. Don't throw your helmet at the umpire. He was in the game until that episode.

Did I say there was anything wrong with it? Good gravy how much more exact could I be?

It was a GREAT PITCH.

Hardly one to go nuts over and get ejected.

Do you have to interject your thoughts from a previous thread into every other thread? It was old then and is old now. Let it go for cryin out loud.

Obviously you missed the smiley at the end of the sentence.

Then again, you're probably trying to bait me.

F2 wasn't there anyway -- he was trotting back to his dugout.

I have to admit, though, Ozzie's reaction for Dye's ejection was funny. It seemed almost like "Let me keep my player from getting.... never mind."

Dye 5 games, 1 and an apology after appeal.

and in my opinion Dimuro 1. I don't know what Guillen said, but PU definately said a "magic" word in my book, When he took off his mask and turned towards the dugout he let out a "BS" and that violates the code of professionalism in my opinion. He didn't let a dying play die. And in my opinion he went looking for Guillen.

Now all of that is my opinion, and you can call me whatever you want... but I can tell you this...If I did what DiMuro did I'm getting dinged. Now if Guillen was dropping f-bombs over there about my strikezone then yeah he's gotta go, but I'm still getting dinged if I say anything close to "Bull you-know-what-comes-next"

Well, the words used in the major leagues are just a bit, umm, different than the games you work.

It's baseball, not church, Reverend.

Nobody with any experience working higher level ball will take this comment seriously.
