1B Umpire Joe West ejected Rays Manager Joe Maddon for arguing an out call to end the bottom of the 7th inning of the Blue Jays-Rays game. With two out and two on, Rays batter Sam Fuld hit a 1-2 fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Jason Frasor to Blue Jays third baseman Edwin Encarnacion to first baseman Adam Lind for a double play. Initially ruled safe on a tag play at first base, West entered an umpire consultation, resulting in the reversal of the original call, and Fuld being ruled out. Replays indicate Lind failed to tag Fuld prior to Fuld touching first base, the call was incorrect, and Joe West is the calling umpire under UEFL Rule 6.b.iii.a.1.* At the time of the ejection, the Blue Jays were leading, 3-1. The Blue Jays ultimately won the contest, 3-2.
This is Joe West (22)'s second ejection of 2011.
