No thread about Bob Davidson ejecting a fan?

[realistic]

It's a small fraternity in the Bigs and if a fan is messing with a player, the umps are going to take care of it, if they have to. Molina is back there keeping Davidson safe and Davidson is going to take care of him over a dumbass jerk in the first row.

I didn't realize that JWWashburn was a scab. That explains alot of his posts.

Bara bing!

By both tradition and the written rule, an umpire's authority does not extend to fans unless they trespass on the field.

As one major leauge umpire said, "Only Bob."

MLB will either fine Davidson, or issue a statement supporting his action as warranted in an "unique" situation. If he is fined, it will most likely not be made public as is MLB's custom.

In either case, I'll wager this is his last season.

I'll take that wager. How about a beer at the place of your choosing?

Just so I am not misunderstood, I am not basing my prediction of Davidson's future on tis event, but rather the demonstrated "old man" gait he has developed (as evidenced in the discussed video), his complaints of pain and comments from some MLB umpires that he may be one of an anticpated three to four retirees.

Hold on here, I was born and raised in that town and most of my family still lives there. I'm betting that address is the Anchor Bar.

Count me in Baby, and I will buy the first round of wings and brew.

I was a regular in the late 60's and 70's.

Being a scab would be a step up in class for him.

The Unabomber "manifesto" makes more sense than the vast majority of his posts.

I do not believe I have ever had the honor of you personally attacking me, Mr Tyler. I consider this validation that my posts are coherent and my opinions correct.

With you on the other side, I can be assured I am on the right track.

Thank you for you guidance.

It's nice that the moderators allow personal attacks of members on the forum.

I am not sure what you mean by the term scab, realistic. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with the discussion of Davidson booting a fan.

Don't try and play the "I don't know card". You have gone on record in the past defending the scab umpires that crossed the picket lines during the MiLB strike a few years ago. You've also made mention that it was the unions that caused the collapse of the auto making industry in Detroit, which isn't even remotely true.

It would seem to me you are very anti-union and think "scabbing" is perfectly alright in your book. You must be a very far to right conservative Republican to make these outlandish statements.

FWIW, I don't think Davidson has the authority to really have someone removed from the stadium. However, that doesn't give the fan the right to make a public nuisance of themselves. I'm sure stadium police and security had the final say whether said fan is removed or not. Davidson only did what by pointing the fan out, the many others around the guy would have probably done later.
