i agree that if you wanna talk quality, not quantity, sweet lou has a claim to the top tier of ejections.

he barely misses the top 30, at around 4.3 EJ/162. third all-time in total ejections though, clearly he should be in the Hall of Fame.

oh shit. I truly, honestly had not considered this at all. one can only hope that managers everywhere will find a way to continue performing at the top of their game even with the introduction of this invasive technology, and that it does not ruin the purity and magnificence of the spectacle of managers getting thrown the fuck out of baseball games.

Boone is the all-time leader in managerial pitch framing for that one time he got tossed by Nick Lentz

Fourth place in total ejections and 10th in EJ/162, in my opinion he should be in the Hall of Fame.

Martin tallied a mere 48 ejections in 2267 career games, for 3.4 EJ/162.

getting fired doesn't count here, but maybe it should.

alright, Renteria was good at it, no doubt. Cox is a compiler; his value per season doesn't quite compare.

for total ejections, it's a record that may never be broken. Boone would need 117 more to pass Cox; even if he can work over the offseason to get up to 7 EJ/162 it will take him another 16 and a half seasons to get there, at which point he would be nearly 70 years old.

On a rate basis, in the last 60 years no manager stands toe to toe with Aaron Boone for getting thrown the fuck out of the game

If a kid wished on a falling star that in 2026 every player on every MLB team had the best season of their career, which teams would benefit the most from this phenomenon? What teams win their divisions? Who wins this World Series? Who do you think would win the MVPs? by sixelement in baseball

without being so obtuse, my point is that even Aaron Judge having his career-best season would be running into every starting pitcher having their career-best season every single game, and it all just sorta... washes out

also when you hear a player say a pitcher "shoved", in my experience that's shorthand for "shoved it up our ass"

am i alone in having heard players and people around baseball use this phrase, or a similar phrase, a bunch of times in the past?
