Crew may not have agreed with the ejection. Also could have been a split crew.

ump JM,
yes, you are correct. so i guess mikestrybel's point was not even a little bit right. If the FED jewlery rule does not prohibit jewlery from being worn in the dugout, then i guess an official warning, even then, would not be acceptable.
and umpjim, also, you are right, could have been a split decision

It could have been a split crew that reached a split decision. At that point, the PU would have made the decision that was implemented.

I read it as batter walking up to bat and PU ejecting on the spot. I picture the rest of the crew as WTF. But maybe everybody was thinking that's how it works. A previous poster had a Hampton Roads UC thinking that way.

My understanding is that the eject was made solely and unilaterally by the PU without any consultation with the BU.

On a completely unrelated note....

The sub who replaced the ejected player ended up "batting in" all of the runs his team scored - the winning run scored on a grounder he batted to short and the F6 made a throwing error trying to retire the BR that allowed what turned out to be the winning run to score.
