MLB Ejection 101 - Joe West (5; Gabe Kapler)

HP Umpire Joe West ejected Phillies Manager Gabe Kapler (warnings following HBP) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the Mets-Phillies game. With two out and none on, Phillies batter Scott Kingery took a 1-1 fastball from Mets pitcher Wilmer Font for a hit-by-pitch. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Kingery in the left shoulder, resulting in warnings upon which Kapler was ejected pursuant to the Official Baseball Rule 6.02(c)(9) and MLB Umpire Manual's Standards for Removal, both of which specify ejection as the prescribed penalty for arguing a warning, while simultaneously directing the umpire to "act without hesitation in enforcement of this rule," the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Phillies were leading, 7-5. The Phillies ultimately won the contest, 7-5.

This is Joe West (22)'s fifth ejection of 2019.
Joe West now has 10 points in the UEFL Standings (8 Prev + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call = 10).
Crew Chief Joe West now has 0 points in Crew Division (-1 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 0).
*MLBUM states, "If a manager, coach, or player leaves the dugout or his position to dispute a warning, he should be warned to stop; if he continues, he is subject to removal from the game."
*OBR 6.02(c)(9) Comment states, "Team personnel may not come onto the playing surface to argue or dispute a warning issued under Rule 6.02(c)(9). If a manager, coach or player leaves the dugout or his position to dispute a warning, he should be warned to stop. If he continues, he is subject to ejection. To pitch at a batter’s head is unsportsmanlike and highly dangerous. It should be—and is—condemned by everybody. Umpires should act without hesitation in enforcement of this rule."
