MLB Ejection 083: Jordan Baker (2; Bud Black)

HP Umpire Jordan Baker ejected Padres Manager Bud Black for arguing a fair ball (live ball) call in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Padres-Braves game. With one out and two on, Braves batter Jace Peterson hit a 2-2 slider from Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner on the ground to first baseman Yonder Alonso. Replays indicate the batted ball bounced before appearing to strike the held bat a second time in fair territory while Peterson was still in a legal position within his batter's box, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Braves were leading, 3-1. The Padres ultimately won the contest, 6-4, in 11 innings.

This is Jordan Baker (71)'s second ejection of 2015.
Jordan Baker now has 2 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Prev + 2 MLB - 4 Incorrect Call = 2).
Crew Chief Jerry Meals now has 9 points in Crew Division (9 Previous + 0 Incorrect Call = 9).
*Rule 6.05(h) [OBR 2015 Rule 5.09(a)(8)] states, "If the batter is in a legal position in the batter’s box, see Rule 5.04(b)(5) (Rule 6.03), and, in the umpire’s judg- ment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, a batted ball that strikes the batter or his bat shall be ruled a foul ball." For more information, see Rules 6.05(g) & 6.05(h): Batted Ball Batter's Interference.
