MLB Ejection 125 - Ryan Blakney (2; Alex Cora)

HP Umpire Ryan Blakney ejected Red Sox manager Alex Cora (balk no-call on Hunter Brown; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #RedSox-#Astros game. With two out and one on, Red Sox batter Romy Gonzalez took two pitches from Astros pitcher Brown, ruled ball one and strike one. Boston contended that Brown balked because he failed to declare his switch from Windup Position during the first pitch of the at-bat to Set Position for the second pitch of the at-bat. By rule, a pitcher needn't declare use of Set Position with a runner on the base—it is not a balk—the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Astros were leading, 2-1. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 4-1.

This is Ryan Blakney (36)'s 2nd ejection of 2025.

*Official Baseball Rule 5.07(a): "There are two legal pitching positions, the Windup Position and the Set Position, and either position may be used at any time."

OBR 5.07(a)(2) Comment: "With a runner or runners on base, a pitcher will be presumed to be pitching from the Set Position if they stand with their pivot foot in contact with and parallel to the pitcher’s plate, and their other foot in front of the pitcher’s plate, unless they notify the umpire that they will be pitching from the Windup Position under such circumstances prior to the beginning of an at-bat."

MLB Ejection 084 - Alan Porter (2; Alex Cora)

2B Umpire Alan Porter ejected Red Sox manager Alex Cora (obstruction no-call; QOCN) in the top of the 5th inning of the #RedSox-#Angels game. With none out and one on, Red Sox batter Abraham Toro hit a 2-2 fastball from Angels pitcher Jack Kochanowicz on the ground to shortstop Zach Neto, who threw to third baseman Luis Rengifo as a rundown transpired during which second baseman Christian Moore tagged out Red Sox baserunner R2 Jarren Duran before throwing to third baseman Rengifo, covering second base, who tagged out Red Sox batter-runner Toro. Replays indicate that prior to receiving the throw, fielder Rengifo blocked Toro's path to second base and in doing so impeded his progress as Toro began his slide into the base, and that the throw did not take Rengifo into the runner's path so the act-of-fielding exception does not apply, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Angels were leading, 5-4. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 9-5.
