Replays indicate the 1-1 pitch to Weeks was located at the bottom of the knees and over home plate (Lower Bound, Upper Bound of [-1.0912, -0.9019]) and the 0-0 pitch was located at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the jersey pants (Lower Bound, Upper Bound of [0.9746, 1.1639]), the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the A's led, 6-2. The A's ultimately won the contest, 9-3.
