Ejections: Jim Joyce (1, 2, 3)

[cascreamindude]

HP Umpire Jim Joyce ejected Marlins pitcher Edward Mujica for throwing at Astros batter Bill Hall in the bottom of the 7th inning and Astros pitcher Aneury Rodriguez and Manager Brad Mills for throwing at Marlins batter Gaby Sanchez in the top of the 9th inning of the Marlins-Astros game. In the 7th, with one out and none on, Hall took a 0-0

Why hasn't MLB put video of these ejections on their website yet? Are they waiting to suspend the guys involved first?

I know I really want to see Joyce in action.

It seems like Jim Joyce has a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to guys throwing at batters. I remember a Yankees-Red Sox game a couple of years ago where he tossed a Boston pitcher without warning for hitting A-Rod after Teixeira hit a home run.

The Marlins threw at Hall because he took out H. Ramirez the night before. Joyce was probably anticipating it, and when it happened, Mujica was gone.

For those wondering, here's why they were throwing at Hall:

JJ must have expected it to be coming eventually.

The person that has Jim Joyce sure hit the trifecta today, three ejections in one game.

Although, I do wonder why the Marlins would wait until the 7th inning if their intention was to plunk Bill Hall. Don't you usually take care of something like that in the 1st inning?

If you do it in the 1st inning, he may come around to score and put you down 1-0. Once you're down 7-1, the run is a lot less meaningful...

Plus, why risk your starter like that?
