MLB Ejection 125: David Rackley (1; Yasiel Puig)

HP Umpire David Rackley ejected Dodgers RF Yasiel Puig for arguing a strike three call in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Padres-Dodgers game. With two out and one on, Puig took a 0-2 fastball from Padres pitcher Ian Kennedy for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and thigh high (px -1.060, pz 1.790 / sz_bot 1.670), the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 0-0. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 1-0.

This is David Rackley (86)'s first ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
David Rackley now has -1 points in the UEFL Standings (1 Previous + 2 MLB - 4 Incorrect Call = -1).
Crew Chief Brian Gorman now has 3 points in Crew Division (3 Prev + 0 Incorrect Call = 3).

This is the 125th ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
