MLB Ejection 019: Jim Reynolds (2; Curt Young)

1B Umpire Jim Reynolds ejected A's Pitching Coach Curt Young for arguing a check swing call (unsportsmanlike: arguing a previous play) in the top of the 3rd inning of the Orioles-A's game. With one out and none on, Orioles batter Noland Reimold attempted to check his swing on a 1-1 fastball from A's pitcher Jarrod Parker. Young was ejected after Adam Jones' double four batters later, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Orioles were leading, 3-2. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 10-2.

This is Jim Reynolds (77)'s 2nd ejection of 2013.
Jim Reynolds now has 6 points in the UEFL Standings (4 Previous + 2 MLB + 0 Irrecusable Call = 6).
Crew Chief John Hirschbeck now has 3 points in the UEFL's Crew Division (1 + 1 Irrecusable Call = 2).
*UEFL Rule 6-5-c-3 specifies that "Ejections, wherein an argument for a previously ruled play (either correct or incorrect) continues into a later play (i.e., some point after a pitch has been delivered to the next batter), shall be ruled irrecusable under Rule 6-2-b-5, which states that these ejections, which are colloquially deemed 'Unsportsmanlike Conduct-NEC,' are ordinarily not assigned a QOC."
^Prop Bet #2: Date of first non-player/non-Manager ejection winners: Russ (4/24) and wwjd220 (4/26).

This is the 19th ejection of the 2013 MLB season.
This is the Athletics' 2nd ejection of 2013, 1st in the AL West (OAK 2; HOU, LAA, SEA, TEX 0).
This is Curt Young's first career ejection.
This is Jim Reynolds' first ejection since April 13 (Cliff Pennington; QOC = Y).
