MLB Ejection 152 - Dan Bellino (2; Bob Melvin)

HP Umpire Dan Bellino ejected Giants manager Bob Melvin (ball three call to Tyler Freeman; QOCN) in the bottom of the 5th inning of the #Giants-#Rockies game. With two out and one on, Rockies batter Freeman took a 2-2 fastball from Giants pitcher Robbie Ray for a called second ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the inner edge of home plate and below the midpoint (px -0.66, pz 3.04 [sz_bot 3.38 / RAD 3.50 / MOE 3.42]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Rockies were leading, 5-4. The Giants ultimately won the contest, 10-8.

This is Dan Bellino (2)'s 2nd ejection of 2025.
*This pitch was located 1.08 horizontal and 4.56 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
We also review a home plate collision play on Rockies batter Hunter Goodman's single to Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos, who threw to catcher Patrick Bailey as Rockies baserunner R2 Freeman arrived at home plate, resulting in a collision. Because Bailey veered into foul territory—into the runner's path—in a legitimate attempt to field the throw (which itself was off the line) as the runner ran directly toward home plate, this is a legal unavoidable collision and no violation on either the catcher nor the runner. The Giants unsuccessfully challenged HP Umpire Bellino's safe call, which was confirmed.
Official Baseball Rule 6.01(i)(l): "A runner attempting to score may not deviate from their direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher, or otherwise initiate an avoidable collision. If, in the judgment of the umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher in such a manner, the umpire shall declare the runner out (regardless of whether the catcher maintains possession of the ball)."
