MLB Ejections 035-36 - Manny Gonzalez (2-3; ARI x2)

HP Umpire Manny Gonzalez ejected Diamondbacks 3B Eduardo Escobar and manager Torey Lovullo (strike two call; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Dbacks-#Mets game. With none out and none on, Escobar took a 1-1 cutter from Mets pitcher Jacob Barnes for a called second strike before striking out swinging on the next pitch. Replays indicate the 1-1 pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px -0.04, pz 1.31 [sz_bot 1.50 / RAD 1.38 / MOE 1.29]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejections the Mets were leading, 3-1. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 4-2.

These are Manny Gonzalez (79)'s 2nd and 3rd ejections of 2021.
Manny Gonzalez now has 12 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Prev + 2*[2 MLB + 2 QOCY] = 12).
Crew Chief Jeff Nelson now has 4 points in Crew Division (2 Previous + 2 Correct Call = 4).
*This pitch was located 0.24 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.

These are the 35th and 36th ejection reports of the 2021 MLB regular season.
This is the 13th player ejection of 2021. Prior to ejection, Escobar was 0-2 (SO) in the contest.
This is the 20th manager ejection of 2021.
