MLB Ejections 170, 171: CB Bucknor (3, 4; Gonzalez, Wood)

HP Umpire CB Bucknor ejected Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez for arguing a ball four call and Braves pitcher Alex Wood for Unsportsmanlike-NEC in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Braves-Nationals game.

Pitch f/x: Ball 4 call was proper.

With one out and two on, Nationals batter Jayson Werth took a 3-2 fastball from Wood for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located belt high and off the inner edge of home plate (px -0.842) while earlier pitches in the at bat and the preceding four-pitch walk to Ryan Zimmerman were officiated properly, the call was correct. After a first-pitch sacrifice fly by Bryce Harper, Wood was removed from the game and continued to argue, leading to ejection during a pitching change. Because Gonzalez was previously ejected arguing the ball four call, Wood's ejection is USC-NEC (previously argued call/repeat visit - no balls thrown to Harper), irrecusable. At the time of the Gonzalez ejection, the Nationals were leading, 1-0. At the time of the Wood ejection, the Nationals were leading, 2-0. The Braves ultimately won the contest, 5-2.
