Ejections 126, 127: Vic Carapazza (2), Marty Foster (5)

2B Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Orioles 1B Mark Reynolds and 3B Umpire Marty Foster ejected Orioles Manager Buck Showalter for arguing a safe (reversed) call in the top of the 5th inning of the Tigers-Orioles game. With none out and none on, Tigers batter Jhonny Peralta hit a 1-2 fastball from Orioles pitcher Tommy Hunter to third baseman Manny Machado, who threw wide to Reynolds as he stretched and tried to catch the ball while keeping his foot on first base. Initially ruled an out by 1B Umpire Jeff Kellogg and reversed to "safe" after consultation with HP Umpire Tim Timmons, replays indicate Reynolds did not legally tag first base while in possession of the baseball prior to Peralta's arrival, the call was correct. The call is now incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Orioles were leading, 3-1. The Tigers ultimately won the contest, 5-3.

This is Vic Carapazza (85)'s second ejection of 2012.
This is Marty Foster (60)'s fifth ejection of 2012.
Vic Carapazza now has 5 points in the UEFL (5 Previous + 3 AAA + -1 Penalty + -2 Incorrect [Crewmate] = 5).
Marty Foster now has 8 points in the UEFL (8 Previous + 2 MLB + -2 Incorrect Call [Crewmate] = 8).
Crew Chief Jeff Kellogg now has 7 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (7 Previous + 0 Incorrect = 7).
*After review, Quality of Correctnes has been reversed by the UEFL Appeals Board (3-0).
