MLB Ejections 176-7 - DJ Reyburn (3-4; STL x2)

[Lindsay]

HP Umpire DJ Reyburn ejected Cardinals hitting coach Turner Ward and manager Oliver Marmol (strike three call to Lars Nootbaar; QOCY) in the bottom of the 4th inning of the #Pirates-#Cardinals game. With none out and none on, Cardinals batter Nootbaar took a 2-2 sinker from Pirates pitcher Jake Woodford for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px 0.84, pz 2.34), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Cardinals were leading, 4-2. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 10-5.

These are DJ Reyburn (17)'s 3rd and 4th ejections of 2024.

Umm . . . how are your "protecting your coach" (or player or anybody) by getting thrown out after they've already been thrown out?

As a quasi-Cardinal fan, can we fire this idiot of a coach yet?

Can't argue about this. Also send Mo on his way. Our starting pitching staff averages 77 years of age. WTF? Can't understand his deals at all.
