Appropriate Ejection?

"In regards to "he should have warned the pitcher" are you saying that every PU in MLB should warn every pitcher after every homerun? I think he did what he should have done, under the circumstances."

No. What I am saying is that when you officiate enough baseball over the years, you have a good feeling when most bean balls are coming around. From what I heard of the game, it sounded like a knockdown pitch was in the making to me.

Its like doing the dish, after a while you get a felling for what pitch to expect next. It least it is that way with me. Personnaly, I like the guy because his name is close to my favorite dish. But I thought that if he was able to come with a statement like " I warned him, and he choose his own destiny", than "I was just doing what the league told me to", he would have been perceived the man in charge, the one on top of his game, and in control. Rather it sound a little squeakish as, I was only doing what I was told.

I learned a long time ago to TAKE CHARGE of YOUR GAME.
