An Ejection I DO Like - Umpire Discussion with Coach After Controversial Call in High-A Jersey Shore

When HP Umpire Jaylen Goodman ejected Jersey Shore BlueClaws manager Greg Brodzinski for arguing a fair ball call vs Wilmington, he exemplified patience by allowing the aggrieved skipper time to make his point, then firmly warned, and ejected, when it was time to move on.

The ordinarily-calling umpire on the fair/foul call down the right field line, 1B Umpire Warren Eubanks did not see where a line drive hit over his head landed. After making no call, he pivoted toward second base to take the batter-runner (it's a two-person crew in this High-A game), while HP Umpire Goodman reportedly signaled fair so that someone from the crew had a call on that play.

Brodzinski argued afterward and, after a lengthy discussion, was warned and ultimately ejected by Goodman. As the non-ejecting umpire, Eubanks stood to the side until the ejection occurred and it was time to escort Brodzinski off the field, but did so in a way where he allowed Brodzinski to speak while making his way back to the dugout.
