MLB Ejections 23-24 - Vic Carapazza (3-4; TOR x2)

HP Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Blue Jays pitcher Matt Shoemaker and Manager Charlie Montoyo (ball one call; QOCY) in the top of the 4th inning of the #Rays-#BlueJays game. With two out and two on, Rays batter Yoshi Tsutsugo took a 0-2 sinker from Shoemaker for a called first ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and belt-high (px 0.97, pz 2.97 [sz_top 3.24]), and that Carapazza officiated all 13 callable pitches during the top of the 4th inning properly (13/13 Accuracy = 100%), the call was correct.*^ At the time of the ejections, the Rays were leading, 3-2. The Rays ultimately won the contest, 7-5, in 8 innings (extra inning doubleheader game).

These are Vic Carapazza (19)'s third and fourth ejections of 2020.
Vic Carapazza now has 8 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Prev + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 8).
Crew Chief Vic Carapazza now has 2 points in Crew Division (0 Previous + 2 Correct Call = 2)
*A Balls/Strikes Exemption was authorized pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-5-d, and, acordingly, all pitches thrown by Shoemaker during the top of the 4th inning were evaluated.
