Ejections 029, 030: Mark Carlson (1, 2)

HP Umpire Mark Carlson ejected Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier and Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly for arguing a strike call in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Rockies-Dodgers game. With one out and one on, Dodgers batter Andre Ethier took a 2-2 fastball from Rockies pitcher Mark Reynolds for a called strike three. Replays indicate the 2-2 pitch from Reynolds was above the belt and over the inside corner of the plate (px value of 0.715), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Dodgers were leading, 5-4. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 11-5.

These are Mark Carlson (6)'s first and second ejections of 2012.
Mark Carlson now has 8 points in the UEFL (0 Previous + 2*[2 MLB + 2 Correct Call] = 8).
Crew Chief Ed Rapuano now has 2 points in the Crew Division (0 Previous + 2*[1 Correct Call] = 2).
