MLB Ejection 176: Angel Hernandez (5; Fredi Gonzalez)

HP Umpire Angel Hernandez ejected Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez for arguing a hit by pitch no call (dead ball [ball]) in the bottom of the 7th inning of the Brewers-Braves game. With one on and two out, Braves batter

Angel calls Janish back, ruling no attempt to avoid.

Paul Janish took a 0-0 fastball from Brewers pitcher Marco Estrada for a dead ball (ball). Replays indicate the pitch, which hit Janish in the left thigh/knee, was located off the inner edge of home plate and that Janish appeared to make no attempt to get out of the way of the pitched ball, the call was correct. Rule 6.08(b) states the batter is entitled to first base without liability to be put out on a hit by pitch, except when "(2) the batter makes no attempt to avoid being touched by the ball." At the time of the ejection, the Brewers were leading, 3-0. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 5-0.
