MLB Ejection 185: Joe West (8; Kevin Long)

HP Umpire Joe West ejected Mets Hitting Coach Kevin Long for arguing a strike three call in the bottom of the 3rd inning of the Red Sox-Mets game. With none out and none on, Mets batter Curtis Granderson took a 0-2 fastball from Red Sox pitcher Wade Miley for a called third strike.

The Mets ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
