MLB Ejection 067 - Stu Scheurwater (1; Craig Counsell)

HP Umpire Stu Scheurwater ejected Cubs manager Craig Counsell (runner's lane interference no-call on Otto Kemp; QOCY) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the #Cubs-#Phillies game. With none out and none on, Phillies batter Kemp hit a 0-0 fastball from Cubs pitcher Brad Keller on the ground to catcher Carson Kelly, who threw to first baseman Michael Busch after Kemp arrived at first base, ruled safe by 1B Umpire Vic Carapazza and non-runner's lane interference by HP Umpire Scheurwater. Replays indicate that although batter-runner Kemp failed to run within the running lane (plus fair territory dirt extension adopted by MLB in 2024) by virtue of running on the grass, his doing so did not interfere with fielder Busch receiving the throw at first base, as the throw could not have reasonably retired the runner.
