Hey guys,

Sorry you had to deal with that ump on Sunday, the 22nd. Anyways, I was asked to send a note to Joe so I copied what I wrote him and wanted to let you all know we said our piece as promised.

Here's the email.

Good afternoon Joe,

I know you talked to Bruan Duhon already however, he asked me to shoot you an email.

I am not going to complain about how this umpire presented himself and his actions Sunday with multiple ejections from different games. Those actions should speak for themselves.

I would like to at least acknowledge that the three (3) individuals from the Denver Chill that were ejected were NOT in the wrong. Not one time did anyone's choice of words from the Chill were ignorant, abusive or rude. They were simply challenging a call that was made.

The umpire reacted so quickly arguing with those guys they didn't even have a standing chance. Then after the initial ejection, he proceeded to challenge the entire dugout for "any takers" and with that said, anyone who said a peep was tossed.

Under the rules laid out this season about ejections, I hope you do not hold any of those guy's to a one game suspension. They presented themselves with dignity and respect and not once crossed any boundaries that would deserve further "punishment".

Thanks Joe, I hope this aids in selection for our organization going forward as we all know so well, no game on any given Sunday should experience this.
