MLB Ejection 169 - Bruce Dreckman (1; Terry Francona)

HP Umpire Bruce Dreckman ejected Guardians manager Terry Fracona (Replay Review decision that overturned 3B Umpire Malachi Moore's safe call to out; QOCN) in the bottom of the 4th inning of the #WhiteSox-#Guardians game. With none out and none on, Guardians batter Brayan Rocchio hit a 1-1 slider from Guardians pitcher Mike Clevinger on a line drive to right field, fielded by Trayce Thompson who threw to shortstop Tim Anderson as Rocchio slid into second base, ruled safe by 3B Umpire Moore (rotation). Upon Replays Review as the result of a challenge by White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, Moore's call was overturned to out. Replays indicate that batter-runner Rocchio's hand appeared to be forced off the base by fielder Anderson, Moore's safe call was correct (albeit for a different reason) and the decision to overturn to out was technically correct pursuant to current replay regulations, but the outcome of an out call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 2-2. The Guardians ultimately won the contest, 4-2.

This is Bruce Dreckman (1)'s 1st ejection of 2023.

This is the 169th ejection report of the 2023 MLB regular season.
This is the 78th manager ejection of 2023. Ejection Tally: 78 Managers, 70 Players, 21 Coaches.
This is Cleveland's 2nd ejection of 2023, 5th in the AL Central (CWS, MIN 9; DET, KC 3; CLE 2).
This is Terry Francona's 2nd ejection of 2023, 1st since July 29 (Todd Tichenor; QOC = Y [Replay Review]).
