I do not think he was out of line in this play...he jawed a little and left...he he had been out of line, they would have dumped him.

Other than throwing a helmet at an umpire prior to the 4 game suspension.

I meant this play.

I guess my point was that he'd maybe be a little calmer considering the last time...especially b/c he really looks like even more of an idiot b/c he was 100% wrong for throwing the fit (arguing something that he clearly lost because he was wrong)....he reminds me of that idiot from U of South Carolina who faked getting beaned and took it so far that he got ejected only to have the video remain on You Tube for eternity.

so, you do not think it is possible this guy thought he was right?

He might have thought he was right, but he can rest assured, he was wrong.

[jwwashburn]

Understood...he was wrong.

I just think his reaction here was one that was not out of bounds

Since when is it a player's role to jaw at the umpire?

Have you ever watched a Major League game?

What this player did on this play is acceptable in a Major League game.

What this player did when he spiked his helmet last week or whenever that was is completely unacceptable-that is why he was ejected and suspended.
