Close Call Sports objectively tracks and analyzes close and controversial calls in sport, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game. Developed from The Left Field Corner's MLB Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (UEFL), baseball's number one source for umpire ejections, video instant replay reviews and their corresponding calls, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game.
HP Umpire Chris Conroy ejected Giants Manager Bruce Bochy (ball two call; QOCY) in the top of the 2nd and Pitching Coach Dave Righetti (ball four call; QOCN) in the top of the 9th inning of the Pirates-Giants game. In the 2nd, ith two out and two on, Pirates batter Andrew McCutchen took a 1-0 curveball from Giants pitcher Matt Cain for a called ball before hitting a home run on an ensuing 3-1 curveball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and above the midpoint (px .427, pz 3.227 [sz_top 3.260 / MOE 3.177]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 6-0. In the 9th, with two out and two on, Pirates batter Francisco Cervelli took a 3-2 cutter from Giants pitcher Kyle Crick for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the outer edge of home plate and thigh-high (px .781, pz 1.932), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 10-3. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 10-3.
This is Chris Conroy (98)'s first, second ejection of the 2017 MLB regular season.
Chris Conroy now has 5 point in the UEFL Standings (-3 Prev + 2*[2 MLB + 2 Correct Call] = 5).
