Ejection 106: Brian Gorman (2)

HP Umpire Brian Gorman ejected Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle for arguing warnings in the top of the 2nd inning of the Pirates-Reds game. With two out and none on, Pirates batter Josh Harrison was hit by a 1-1 fastball from Reds pitcher Mike Leake, resulting in a bench warning incident. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and the hit by pitch designation was proper, the call is irrecusable. On Friday, Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen was hit by an Aroldis Chapman pitch. At the time of the ejection, the Reds were leading, 2-1. The Reds ultimately won the contest, 5-4.

This is Brian Gorman (9)'s second ejection of 2012.
Brian Gorman now has 0 points in the UEFL (-2 Previous + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call = 0).
Crew Chief Brian Gorman now has 5 points in the Crew Division (4 Previous + 1 Irrecusable Call = 5).
