If I may provide some stats from previous years of late to confirm that we are right on course...

 

In 2013, the Regular Season began on Sunday, March 30 (Opening Night - TEX-HOU). The first ejection was 4/6/13 (Bucknor, Safe/Out), the second on 4/9/13 (Baker, Throwing At) and four on 4/11 (all Holbrook, Dodgers-Padres brawl).

 

In 2014, the Regular Season began on Sunday, March 31 (Opening Night - LAD-SD; those Int'l series don't produce ejections). The first ejection was 4/8/13 (Nelson, Balls/Strikes), the next four on 4/13 (Porter, Balls/Strikes; Basner x2, Balls/Strikes; Davidson, Replayed Safe/Out).

 

70% of 2013 ejections were not reviewable, so expect around a 1/3 drop in ejections for 2014.

By this point in 2008 (14 days into the season): 7 Ejections.

By this point in 2009 (14 days into the season): 8 Ejections.

By this point in 2010 (14 days into the season): 5 Ejections.

By this point in 2011 (14 days into the season): 7 Ejections.

By this point in 2012 (14 days into the season): 7 Ejections.

By this point in 2013 (14 days into the season): 6 Ejections.

By this point in 2014 (14 days into the season): 5 Ejections.

 

Sample size is woefully small, but a 17% drop in ejections from 2013, 29% drop from 2012, 29% drop from 2011, 0% from 2010, 38% from 2009 and 29% from 2008.

 

Everything is right on course and consistent based on the year-to-year data.

With replay, it is going to be a slow year on the Appeals Board for the UEFL
