MLB Ejections 003, 004: Toby Basner (1, 2; Wright, Murphy)

HP Umpire Toby Basner ejected Mets 3B David Wright and 2B Daniel Murphy for arguing a strike three call in the top of the 7th inning of the Mets-Angels game. With one out and one on, Mets batter Travis d'Arnaud took a 3-2 fastball from Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located knee high and over the inner half of home plate (px -.463, pz 1.594 / sz_bot 1.480) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated (called strike one [.612, 1.756] / strike two was swinging), the call was correct. At the time of the ejections, the Angels were leading, 11-2. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 14-2.

These are Toby Basner (99)'s first and second ejections of 2014.
Toby Basner now has 10 points in the UEFL Standings (0 Previous + 2*[3 AAA + 2 Correct Call] = 10).
These are Crew Chief Fieldin Culbreth's crew's first and second ejections in the UEFL Crew Division.
