Couldn't find the video of it on mlb.com, but Alex Rios was ejected by Cory Blaser yesterday.

Couldn't find the video of it on mlb.com, but Alex Rios was ejected by Cory Blaser yesterday. Saw it live and Blaser rung Rios up on a pitch that looked outside.

The pitch Blaser called Rios out on was definitely outside. The check swing Barksdale called in Philadelphia was accurate, although it is unusual to get a strike called after such a late appeal.

Joe West ejects Joe Maddon after West is over-ruled on a call at first base. Turns out, West was right the first time. Once umpires confer, they do not tolerate arguing. They EXPLAIN the call to the manager, but any arguing results in ejection. mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=14472175

If Maddon manages long enough, he might challenge Bobby Cox's ejection record.

Tom Hallion is an excellent umpire, but when you make him mad, look out!

B.J. Upton needs to sit for a game or two. That kind of behavior is ridiculous. If he were to do that to someone in a bar or on the street, someone would clean his clock.

Tom Hallion is from the old school, a protege of Jerry Crawford and a very good umpire with a low threshold when in comes to arguments.
IMO one of the best.....
