MLB Ejection 045: Lance Barksdale (1; Lloyd McClendon)

1B Umpire Lance Barksdale ejected Mariners Manager Lloyd McClendon for arguing a check swing (strike three) call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Rays-Mariners game. With one out and one on, Mariners batter John Buck attempted to check his swing on a 3-2 splitter from Rays pitcher Joel Peralta. Replays indicate Buck attempted to strike the decisive pitch, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Rays were leading, 2-0. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 2-0.


This is Lance Barksdale (23)'s first ejection of the 2014 season.
Lance Barksdale now has 4 points in the UEFL Standings (0 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct = 4).
Crew Chief Gary Cederstrom now has 1 point in the UEFL's Crew Division (0 Prev + 1 Y = 1).

This is the 45th ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
