Thumbs up Tichenor exudes awesome awesomeness

Todd Tichenor ejected Twinks catcher Mike Redmond


Manager Ron Gardenhire

Red Sox Catcher Jason Varitek
and, Red Sox Manager Terry Francona
all in the 7th inning.

Redmond had an aneurysm arguing a play at the plate and was dumped quickly. Gardenhire tried to get out there to "protect the catcher" but it was too late. He was dumped pretty soon after that. Joe Mauer was the DH and had to suit up immediately to replace Redmond. Now, the pitcher is batting in Redmond's spot.

In the bottom of the inning, Josh Beckett loudly protested a ball call. Varitek immediately got in Tichenor's face hoping Beckett would not get dumped. Down goes Varitek and then Francona was gone soon after that.

Todd Tichenor, this is for you.

Joe in Missouri

Unhappy Help, I'm at work!

Someone please post videos as soon as possible. I am at work and cannot watch, only listen (in between working). It sounded interesting.

No video yet that I can find. Would've been nice to see that bloodbath on TV though.

I saw it on MLB .TV

Actually, I had it on in the background and had gotten the window up to eat a sandwich...right place right time.

I can't find a video on MLB.com yet since it was a day game today. The video should be up later tonight though.

Todd's from our area, and came to our meeting for JUCO umpires. Nice to see him taking care of business.

I found an interesting piece in the 2009 MLBUM:

Crew Chiefs shall decide rotation assignments when a new umpire joins a crew. It is suggested that a substitute umpire who joins a crew from the Minor Leagues should start at 2nd or 3rd base. When a substitute umpire joins a crew from another Major League crew, consideration should be made of the substitute's last plate game. Minor League umpires should not start behind the plate when joining a crew from the Minor Leagues.

I'm surprised it took as long as it did for Varitek to go.

Varitek and Francona get dumped. I'm surprised that Varitek didn't get dumped as soon as he turned around. Turn your sound up to see Beckett's thought about Todd's strike zone in the first couple seconds.
