Dodgers/Padres...Rule 8.06

[RogersUmp]

When the rule states anyone is to be removed from the game (not by manager's choice) that is the same as ejection. Forced is another appropriate verb here. Maybe ejection only means physically ejected into the air landing somewhere out of the field of play?

I disagree.

you can remove a coach by restricting him to the dugout. He can't comeback on the field for any reason except for an injury.

OK but this game wasn't played under Fed rules.

When have you ever seen a major league manager restricted to the dugout? Remember, we are speaking of OBR, rules written and owned by Major League Baseball.

Jax,

Please tell me you're kidding.

They should be consistent though and use the term "eject" instead of "remove" that can have several meanings...in fact the MLBUM term uses remove, not eject too.

He's not kidding, though he might be a troll.

He's also wrong. Restricting a coach to the dugout is NOT removing him from the game, since he can continue to perform most coaching functions from there.

Michael,

He posts more on another board, and I'm quite confident he is not a troll.

He may not be a "rules guru", but he strikes me as someone who is serious about improving his knowledge and his umpiring.

Thanks UmpJM,

You are correct in your assessment. I am not a rules guru. I have been doing this less than a year. But I am always on the boards trying to learn and I always have a rules book with me and I do read it. I have moved up in our organization rapidly.


The Restriction thing was an idea i threw out there. Not a good idea

I still say there is a difference between Removing and Ejecting but don't know how you would remove a coach without ejection so ejection it is!
