But he is so bad he is acting with gross misconduct and misapplying rules.The CBA between MLB and the MLBUA is structured such that MLB can't fire an umpire for making subjective calls. He could be fired for gross misconduct or for misapplying rules. All poor performance does is make sure that he won't get post-season assignments.
Could the Umpires Association dump him? I guess. Will they? Not a chance.

Quick question for the group: Have any of you ever gotten tossed out of a game that you were playing in? Could be any particular sport...
I got tossed once. It was a varsity baseball game my sophomore year of high school.......My coach ended up getting tossed too.
Not by any refs or umps, but coaches definitely benched me on a few occasions. I was hypercompetitive but not athletically gifted so I got frustrated a lot and would have tantrums. I'm actually shocked that I didn't ever get ejected in retrospect, especially from some of those little league umps.Quick question for the group: Have any of you ever gotten tossed out of a game that you were playing in?

football, i would have been 13 or 14, guy on the other team dove into a pile waaaaaaayyyy after the whistle (no fumble or anything), my running back screams in pain (he ended up with a broken arm). I pulled the guy off the pile and tried to get his helmet off. Got pulled apart, i got tossed. No flag on the piling on.Quick question for the group: Have any of you ever gotten tossed out of a game that you were playing in? Could be any particular sport...

Wouldn't be shocked if he succeeded Tito in Cleveland, or perhaps Houston if Dusty retires. Definitely a good manager and clubhouse guy, just happened to be in a brutal division the last few years.Kepler out in San Francisco.
Not sure where he ranks in the pecking order of available starting pitchers but he had a good year and is still only 30. He must know he's gonna get paid handsomely.Former Red Sox starter to opt out of contract, become free agent (report)

The Padres are 1-12 in extra inning games. If the Red Sox ever missed the playoffs by being 1-12 in extra inning games that might be enough to truly resurrect the fellowship of the miserable days.
Boarding as well - felt bad was unintentionalGot tossed for boarding once in Bantams. My little brother got tossed and suspended in High School for challenging the opponent's bench and causing a brawl . . . in soccer! That was one you never saw before or since.

Cubs imploded - so pre WS CubsThe NL WC race is absurd. Several teams with negative differentials are about to beat out the Cubs (+96) and the Padres (+98).
He's part of the MLB Umpire's Association. MLB can't get rid of him, no matter how bad he is.
