There was other information in the data - in addition to the reason for a manager's ejection, the umpire was included as well. Likewise, perhaps the ability of managers to have someone telling them whether to argue a call or not could decrease arguments. Perhaps the ability to review will lower an umpire's tolerance for "discussion" of the call and lead to more ejections. It's far too early to tell, but instant replay will have an effect on ejections, but it can go either way. Every time a manager walks on the field to argue a call he adds time to games that are already pushing three hours. There are many quirks in baseball not present in other sports, such as the lack of a clock, a fixed manner in which offensive players are used and the latitude allowed to argue almost anything. It's not listed, but there were 29 ejections due to disputed home run calls, which also could be eliminated quite easily. This last table is my attempt to quantify the reasons for the approximately 5,000 ejections:Īutomation could eliminate many of these reasons, such as pitch calls and most calls on bases. The priceless part of the Retrosheet data is the explanations for some of the ejections:Ĭomplaining about umpire's attitude towards Jason Kendallįighting with White Sox manager Terry Bevingtonįighting with Brewers manager Phil Garner Then again, when was the last time a football or basketball coach was ejected from a game? The records go back to around 1900, and this table shows the managers with the most ejections:īobby Cox is well-known as having the most ejections, John McGraw represented an era when men were men, and Leo Durocher and Earl Weaver were well-known for their pugnaciousness, but with few exceptions, managers weren't thrown out with great frequency. In general, the more games, the more ejections, but note the difference between Ron Gardenhire and Bruce Bochy when Bochy has mananged over 1100 more games. Not listed are new managers Brad Ausmus (Detroit), Bryan Price (Cincinnati), Rick Renteria ( Chicago Cubs), Ryne Sandberg (Philadelphia) and Matt Williams (Washington). This first table shows ejections among current managers (all data through the end of the 2013 season): After taking a couple of days to gather and process the data, I found some very interesting information. In addition to traditional wins and losses, information on manager ejections is included as well. On a whim, I did a Google search and saw the information had been right under my nose for quite some time - going to the Manager section of Retrosheet yielded pure gold. I've always been interested in manager ejections but was never able to easily find data. † After Marussia F1 rebranded as Manor F1 in 2015, Reading F.C.There are items in baseball that merit scrutiny for which data isn't easy to come by, at least not at traditional sites like or FanGraphs. ^ According to current revision of List of English Football League managers.Team overview Stadia and locations Ĭlass=notpageimage| Greater London Championship football clubs Sanctions for exceeding the allowances take effect from the set of accounts due to be submitted on 1 December 2014 for the 2013–14 season.Acceptable shareholder equity investment of £3 million during the 2014–15 season (down from £5 million during the 2013–14 season).Acceptable losses of £3 million during the 2014–15 season.To Championship Ĭhanges to the Championship's financial fair play system allow clubs:
