Ejection 091: Dan Iassogna (4)

HP Umpire Dan Iassogna ejected Rays Manager Joe Maddon for arguing a ball call in the top of the 7th inning of the Indians-Rays game. With two out and two on, Indians batter Jason Kipnis hit a 2-2 fastball from Rays pitcher Jake McGee into center field for a RBI single. During the at bat on the 1-2 pitch (fourth pitch of the at bat), Iassogna called McGee's fastball a ball. Replays indicate the 1-2 pitch was over the outside portion of the plate and at the knees (px value of -0.608 and a lower bound, upper bound of [-0.9311, -0.7510], the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 4-4. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 10-6.

This is Dan Iassogna (58)'s fourth ejection of 2012.

Dan Iassogna now has 4 points in the UEFL (6 Previous + 2 MLB + -4 Incorrect Call = 4).

Crew Chief Dale Scott now has 6 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (6 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 6).
